| Summary | 0013108: Divinitation Die Transformation reduces age, turns adventurer into baby | ||||
| Description | An unlucky die roll temporarily cursed my adventurer, turning my 189-year-old normal-sized adult elf into a 2-month-old baby giant stoat. After 1 week had passed and the transformation wore off, I turned back into an elf - but still 2-months-old and baby-elf-sized. With the size, weight, blood, and (particularly) maximum burden capacity of a baby, this crippled the adventurer. Maximum burden went from 155 pounds as an adult to 12 as a baby, making it impractical to use or carry most items. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Be an adult elf adventurer. Roll divinition die. Get major curse result, turn into an animal for 1 week. Notice that your new animal form has <1 year age. Wait 1 week for curse to end, become elf again. Notice that you're still <1 year old, and with size and burden capacity of a baby. | ||||
| Additional Information | No mods or dfhack were in use when I first got the bug. I later added dfhack to investigate and fix it, which is how I discoverd that I was baby-sized (as far as I know this information is not normally displayed ingame, age and burden capacity were the only obvious displayed changes at first). It's possible to fix this through use of dfhack's "gui/gm editor" command, but it's difficult. There's not a simple way to just 'grow up', changing age does not seem to trigger the size/weight/etc. changes you'd expect, at least not in adventure mode. So I had to manually correct the several stats that were affected, comparing to an old pre-bug save to get the correct numbers, and I'm still unsure if I found everything that needed to be fixed. This is probably beyond the patience or knowledge of many players, so this bug will often ruin a character with no recourse. Stats I changed: birth_year birth_time body/blood_max body/blood_count body/size_info/size_cur body/size_info/size_base body/size_info/area_cur body/size_info/area_base body/size_info/length_cur body/size_info/length_base Burden capacity seems to be a derived stat that automatically changed after correcting the above stats. | ||||

Due to the random nature of divination die, it's hard to attempt to reproduce this bug. I plan to continue playing the character and using divination die, if I get another major curse I will report whether the bug repeats or not. |

Save: https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=17341 At this moment my adventurer is still a baby giant stoat, and is just a few steps from transforming back into a baby elf. Unfortunately I think at this point the damage is already done, since the age was reduced when I first transformed into a giant stoat, a moment that's hard to reproduce or capture in a save. |

Another die turned me into a giant snapping turtle, age changed from 189 to 13. Luckily giant snapping turtles are born fully grown, so I was full sized (for a giant snapping turtle) despite the young age. Upon reverting back to elf after 1 week, I'm now a 13-year-old elf, and my size has returned to normal (adult) elf size. Which is odd since I should be a child at this point (age <18). So the bug is partially reproducible - age did change again, but it does not always lead to size changing. Maybe it's something about the giant stoat specifically? The short lifespan, or the fact that it has a child version (unlike the turtle, which is born full sized). |
