[Sangarunya]

In the Game Options section the Energy Wall link doesn't work, just like "Ironman Mode", "Heroic Concentration" and "Normal and Ironman modes".

In the Difficulty section all the "Level up" and "Ironman Mode" links don't work.

In the Game Shortcuts section the "Main Menu" link at the bottom on the page does not work.

In the Controls Outside Combat section the link "Attack of Opportunities" is faulty, probably because grammar.

[BlueSalamander]

Thank you very much for all the error reports, Sangarunya!

I've just fixed all of the broken links in version 1.15. Best regards

[Sangarunya]

Glad to help to improve the game. Only one section more besides this and I'll stop till next version - lot's corrections that need to be checked.

I think one of the Spell Magic Ice Storm bad links was reported by Lord_Sith days ago, so at least one of them should be corrected by now.

[Sangarunya]

I was right waiting for the next version of the game before reporting the last bunch of bad links - most of them are correct by now, so these are the last survivors:

- Races -> Player-Character Races -> second Half-Salamander link doesn't work
- Basic Statistics -> Alignment -> Neutral link not working
- Basic Statistics -> Spells -> Heighten, Weapon Focus Touch and Weapon Focus Ranged Touch don't work

I'll wait until you have added more documentation before reading through again - almost all of the links should be OK by now.

[BlueSalamander]

Awesome, thank you Sangarunya!! These are now all fixed in the upcoming version 1.17. Cheers

[Sangarunya]

I've found a few more in 1.17:

- Characters -> Basic Statistics -> Abilites -> Constitution -> Poison
- Characters -> Basic Statistics -> Abilites -> Strength -> Melee Touch and Bow
- Characters -> Basic Statistics -> Abilites -> Intelligence -> Hold Person, Sleep
- Characters -> Basic Statistics -> Abilites -> Wisdom -> Hold Person, Sleep
- Character conditions -> Halted -> Held -> Coup the Grace Weapons (5th paragraph)
- Combat and Weapons -> Combat Actions -> Charge -> Halberds, Spears and Tridents.
- Combat and Weapons -> Combat Actions -> Standard Attack -> Improved Unarmed Strike
- Combat and Weapons -> Combat Actions -> Casting a Spell -> Teleport to World Map and Deaf
- Combat and Weapons -> Combat Actions -> Ready to Counterspell -> Deafened
- Combat and Weapons -> Combat Actions -> Ready versus approach -> Halberd, Spear and Trident.
- Combat and Weapons -> Weapons and armour -> Magic Weapons -> Destruction (link works but redirects to the Cleric Domain Power page instead of a description of the weapon enchantment)
- Character Conditions -> Entangled -> Snaring weapons

[Sangarunya]

Also, the High Elf gets Spell Resistance equal to 5 + level but is not mentioned anywhere in the Help Files (or at least I haven't seen it).

[Sangarunya]

And one more thing: the character condition Berserk can also be obtained by other spells besides the mentioned in the documentation.

- The Bard ability Aria of Chaos
- The level 7 Psionicist power Insanity
- The Wizard spells Colour Spray and Prismatic Void
- The Psionicist power Mind Hammer with the Improved Mind Hammer feat

In some cases it depends on a random roll and in the last one it requires choosing a feat but I think it'll be worthwhile to enumerate all the different methods for the sake of completeness. I'll read through the Character Conditions looking for missing spell/powers.

[Sangarunya]

Another issue is the lack of completeness when enumerating the different spells, powers and abilities that affect certain conditions. For example, the spell Heal (Cleric 6) removes the Berserk condition but is not mentioned explicitly in the spell documentation, instead is included in the sentence "It also removes (this) and (that) and many conditions." The last three words are the problematic ones: reading the help files doesn't assist you when you have to choose what spells are more important for your party if you don't know for sure if that spell removes one particular condition or not. Having the entire list in the spell page should be the best option. It is mentioned in the Berserk page but visiting every single character condition to check if that spell is a possible cure is a headache.

And yes, is a chore to enumerate one by one all the conditions that that a spell affects but is very important to help the player make decisions. If not, it's all about trial and error. A precise documentation is invaluable in these kinds of games.

Break Enchantment and Greater Break Enchantment are also guilty of this. Unlike the previous mentioned, Contingent Break Enchantment and Contingent Greater Break Enchantment list all the conditions correctly.
