GM Nyxus
Update for Sorcerer Animates and Sigil Staves

on #gamemaster-endnotes channel

Good news for sorcerer animates! The sigil staff rooted effect should now be removed on death. This issue may still be present for other sources of root and other debuff effects. For other cases, I would greatly appreciate it if you could post a log in ⁠Pure Bug Roundup Thread so that I can investigate. Thank you!

EDIT: After review this fix needed to be adjusted to target sigil staves specifically. I’ve updated the announcement above to reflect the more targeted fix. For other cases of an effect persisting beyond death, please report the source of the effect, e.g. the item or spell or maneuver. Logs help too!
