    I just tried using the shield amulet to protect one of my characters from getting hit with some magic missiles, but he still took damage. Is this normal, or did some mod screw it up or did I accidentally remove a fixpack? I thought I had the patch & fixpack installed, but it's possible I accidentally screwed it up while messing around with the overide folder.

    If I need to reinstall a fixpack, which one?

    maybe a dumb question but just to make sure: did you just equip the amulet and nothing else or did you actually activate it so that it uses up a charge?

    I failed a pick pocket check and wound up fighting the "Mercenaries of Riatavin", and their mage had gotten down to casting magic missiles at Mazzy. So, I passed the Shield Amulet to her and had her use it. I got the message "Shielded", followed by the mage casting another magic missile that did damage almost immediately. Then he cast yet a third one a few seconds later, which prompeted her to call for healing. I could accept that the timing was too close for the first MM barage after using the amulet, but not the second.

    Oh well, I reloaded anyways as I wanted to do the Limited Wish quest (but don't want to waste a scroll, so I'll have to level up first), but I was wondering about the amulet. I'll have to try using a shield scroll (or have somebody memorize it) to see if there's a similar bug.
