'Deafen' spell and save vs spell
Description
My saves presently look like this:
vs Spell : -63 Divinely protected vs Paralysis: -20 Somewhat protected
vs Breath : -23 Protected vs Mental : 0 Not protected
The AP player I'm fighting is failing lots of spells, but 'deafen' works on the first shot, always.
Just wondering if this is intended.
Very possible that 'deafen' checks for a different save - but if it's meant to check for 'save vs spell', it definitely has 100% success date.

I don't think you know what the word "definitely" means. I also don't think you know what "100%" means.

Something happened with the "deafen" spell and now it works even through very high saves

Nothing happened with the deafen spell.
It is the same as it was before.
It is more likely you never understood its success rate.

If there is an exploration or trip bug please post info and I'll look at it just like I looked at deafen.

Some stats vs deafen spell
A character some years ago with around -80 svs:
PC: total was casted 18, successfully 3, success rate = 16%
NPC: total was casted 35, successfully 5, success rate = 14%
overall success rate = 15%
Current character with -80 to -100 svs:
PC: total was casted 62, successfully 14, success rate = 22%
NPC: total was casted 17, successfully 2, success rate = 11%
overall success rate = 20%
and my favorite vs -101 svs:
PC: total was casted 6, successfully 2, success rate = 33%
I can provide the logs or any other information

I believe there are multiple factors beyond simply the save vs. spell.
Off the top of my head, I believe character wisdom and level are two
significant ones.
