Spurious "Cannot take actions while dead" Message

Post by DylanMakTyme »

Doc Savage, 7273, humbly sought a blessing from a relic and received said blessing, but also received a notification in bright red letters that he could not take actions while dead. I was relieved to confirm that he was not dead.
- Through the relic of Emma Burke you are bestowed with a lesser blessing of magic. They also pronounced a Sanctuary Blessing upon you. (2022-02-17 21:14:45).
- You feel the holy power enter your soul, rejuvenating a bit of your magic. (2022-02-17 21:14:45).
- You petition Emma Burke to pray to the Elder Powers through the relic here for a blessing on your behalf. (2022-02-17 21:14:45).
PS:
And replicated!

There was a similar bug in the past and I just attempted to reproduce it but could not. Please repost here if you observe this again.

I imagine that the Advocate whose Relic you were using was dead at the time. Blessings often swap state messages between Advocate and the person requesting.

That was the set of circumstances I tested.

Now the relic is still present but the button & dropdown menu have fled the page in the face of scrutiny. Typical controller behavior.

And it is back and using it gives the same result as before.
