A few of the cohort races do not work for me such as Warforged,  Dragonkin, Half-Ogre you can select them but no cohort is summoned.

Drow/Stock races work fine.

-Otiluke's Freezing Sphere

The spell has no range it forces me to walk to the target whether it be a creature or the ground.

I am running the HotU campaign with PRC 3.3H and a level 16 Wizard

Edit: I found the issue with OFS the 2da file has an error it uses l for range instead of L

There should also be a notation in Dragon Allies description that it only works Above ground. Could you give an error to the PC if it fails because of that?

Cohorts probably don't have all blueprints created yet. I'll check this and add to my to-do list if needed.

I'll look into Otiluke's Freezing Sphere issue.

Not sure about Dragon Ally - the description (in Spell Compendium) says nothing about that the spell can only be cast outside. I suspect that Dragon Cloud script was used as a template for making this spell and someone forgot to remove that part of the code. I'll edit the script.

xwarren I know its the Dragon Ally script as that is what I checked to see why it was not working before I made my post.

I'm saying that it is very possible that someone made Dragon Cloud spell and than used the same script, with some changes of course, to make Dragon Ally spell. Dragon Cloud works only above ground, Dragon Ally should work always (like summon monster i think) but the part of a code that enforced casting outside was never removed as it should.

Sorry for my English :P

I was letting you know that it is a check inside the script that is stopping it from working indoors. Before it was just a guess on your part.

Your English is just fine.
