I only seem to get it to work in PvE. It never works for me against a player. Is it a bug or was it meant to be this way? |

Generally with auras, they seem to only trigger when the other fella walks into it or when you first activate it from what i observe anyways. Stuff like fear or Aura of despair/battletide etc. Maybe you had it on and walked up to gank someone thus it didnt trigger? |

Yes I had it active, hostiled a friend to test the aura, walked up to him and nothing happened. He walked in it a few times too, it didn't work. |

Moral of the story, don't show of your aura just to look cool cause when you run into some palladins, the aura won't work. Keep it for later when you really need it 
Also, it does wear of. I thought its not supposed to? The DMs confirmed to me that its permament until rest/death/logoff/etc |

Perhaps the PC just had high saves or something? I think that one can resist the effects of the aura, provided their will roll is enough. Someone correct me if I am wrong. |

The BG aura has a duration of 24 in-game hours, I think. It can and does wear off. There's also some spells that can disperse or dispell it. Beyond that, auras have always been somewhat wonky. I've noticed similar things with my old BG and Battletide on my cleric. |

No save I believe. And the aura always seemed to work fine when someone hostile walked into the aura. Something might've changed, I noticed people not getting hit by battletide when they walked in sometime back. |

Aura's are wobbly. They work in the same way as persistent AoE's does (cloud kill, storm of vengeance, grease, etc) only that it follows centred on the caster. It doesn't update its location as fast as a creature object does. |

It never fails against NPCs, it always fails against PCs. Its not about slow/laggy/whatever.. I can stand there for an hour, making the oher guy walk in/out, it doesnt work. My friend came as his BG and we both kept running around a hostile friend and it didnt work for either of us. I pvpd a BG who used the aura against me.. it didnt work. Can anyone here tell me 100% that you have successfully used it against a player? |

It works against players. Auras are just notoriously sketchy. Listen to Jas- and Terra. |

Thanks Tormak. Thats what I was looking for. Wanted to find out if anyone seen it work against a player. Thats why I asked again after their posts, because 'sometimes I noticed etc' I was thinking.. maybe that sometimes was against a player every time, is all. |

Speaking as someone whose had it used against them it absolutely does work vs PCs. |

As so many have already stated in this topic, auras are quite sketchy when it comes to "hit detection". NWN has a few stupid bugs that, at times, hamper gameplay a lot. For example; try sneak attacking with ranged weapons. Sometimes, even if you are in the SA range, it still doesn't trigger for reasons unknown. Blame NWN, not Amia. |

Not blaming anyone.. simply asking if anyone saw it work against a player. I got the answer. |
