I have run into a game killing bug.
The cleric spell "Ring of Blades", is causing havoc in my game. The spell wont ware off. Worse yet, if I move near a henchman or any NPC they start taking damage. If I move far away from them (outside the 5' rand of the spell) they continue taking damage until they die. If I go through a screen transition, I can still see them taking damage in the log and they die. I tried just standing around for 20 minutes real time and it still working.
With no ability to talk to an NPC without killing them, my game is over. Once they start taking damage you can't talk to them and when henchmen not in your party dies, they are gone perminently.
I'm so bummed out by this.
