It should not work if the target is nonliving.

I tested deathtouch on a zombie just to make sure its not the logic for living/unliving/undead.... I'm thinking this must be due to it being triggered from a hitspell...

blackwood staff is just drain so that should work always.  just have to mention that in order for it to not be changed to life drain.

Actually the Blackwood staff is life drain, but the spell is not coded as "affect living only" if you want to get technical.

Note - It would make it easier to track this down if we knew what weapon he was using.... rather then just a cap of a few swings...

Skull sword, but why does it matter? 

[The Crazy Animal]

It matters since almost each weapon with a hitspell has its own spell... And the effect for drain life doesn't negate drain life from undead by itself....

[Raybdbomb]

OK fine, but my point is you shouldn't care about which item exactly did this, all life drain from nonliving weapons should be examined.

[The Crazy Animal]

Drain life doesn't tell the spell it can't drain life from a non-living target. The ability that does that is affectslivingonly.. So first I wanted to make sure the weapon you were using had a hitspell that had that on it to begin with... There's a method to my madness...


OK I tested 2 other weapons that have hitspells that have the affect living only abilities on their spells...
462 - Heavy black rod
1358 - spiked black testicle...  :P

From what I can tell its the affect living only ability that is not working right when being used from a hitspell..
