Web Spells

I noticed a few things while in the Drider caves yesterday, but never really noticed this anywhere else.

First, when the drider cast multiple web spells in the same area, each speed penalty stacks so that you quickly become immobile. I don't know if that is how it is supposed to work or not. If it is, then its not a problem until you get to my next point.

When the duration of the web spell ends (or when the webs are removed by a gust of wind spell) not all of the speed penalties are removed (if any). The icon goes away but the character is still incredibly slowed.

Furthermore, a haste spell, which usually negates slow effects did nothing. At the time, relogging or Disjunctioning myself was not an option, so I don't know if that would have helped. The only thing that did allow Sara to move normally again was to have Tris cast Freedom of Movement on her.

The movement speed reduction stacking is intentional; it sticking around forever is not.

Resting will also fix this movement problem, (though resting in the Drider tunnels is a challenge all its own).

Dispel type magics will remove the movement decrease effect.

I find this happens most often when the caster is killed before the effect ends, also happens with bioware's darkness spell. When you dispel the drider web spell on yourself it will report that Greater Shadow Conjuration: Web has been dispelled, this leads me to think that bioware's version of this spell is being used instead of the newer shs version of web. So the GSC: web spell on driders could be replaced with the true web spell or the GSC: web spell could be added to the spellhook to solve any troubles.

Just my guesses.
