Meteor Hammer bug in Orul's Crypt

Post by zubenelgenubi »

Hi,

Reporting a bug with the meteor hammer.
The special attack stopped working in Orul's Crypt after doing the sanctuary,mausoleum and laboratory.
I tried changing hands,moving party around and have another member try,but to no avail.
I finished the game since but after leaving those areas only the normal attack worked.
It did work before going into those areas. :)

kind regards

The "bug" is that you used up all the charges of your hammer. You have to recharge it by using a red crystal shard if you want to use the special attack again.

If you find an item with a special ability, you don't know whether it has limited or unlimited charges until you equip it on a character who has the required skills points. In the case of the Meteor Hammer, both Heavy Weapons 5 and Fire Magic 1.

I think the number of charges on an item should always be visible, so you know whether it has limited or unlimited charges *before* spending any skill points.

PS:
I didn't realize that the Meteor Hammer's name is a pun:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteor_hammer
That explains why it doesn't look like a hammer :)
