Is Improved Mace of Disruption buggy?

    Ok perhaps this is just luck or something, but it seems like the improved mace of disruption isn't doing any undead destroying!

    I have minsc wielding it and defender of easthaven vs. undead... and I never get any "undead destroyed". Every now and again it will come up the the creature has done a "save vs polymorph"... but nothing ever is "undead destroyed" with improved mace of disruption. It seems wrong that it would be a save vs. polymorph, too. When I use azureedge with my PC kensai, there is *never* a "save vs. polymorph", and I often get "undead destroyed" successfully.

    So, is improved mace of disruption bugged for any of you, or am I just crazy? This is really bothering me. :( I hate to think this awesome weapon is totally useless at what it is meant for!

    If it makes a difference, I have G3 fixpack and some of G3 tweaks installed.

    It doesn't usually happen but sometimes my mace has destroyed an undead, thus it does work for me. I usually like it more for its negative energy protection.

    A typo in the G3 BG2 Fixpack tp2 installer is causing this issue. See here for more details.

    Thanks for the info, Avenger. How might I go about fixing that manually? I'm a complete newbie when it comes to this sort of thing...

    I use Item Revision and I think it fixes that, other than that you have to edit the tp2 file (I think) and reinstall.

    This error is corrected in v7 of the fixpack (just released).

    I could, but the Mace is my favourite ever weapon for Minsc. I'd hate loosing the fine memories of killing Kangax on the first hit by the repeated survival of ghasts who face his awesome wrath.

    :D
