Just Another Fixpack v1.8

BETA

I plan on making a bug fixpack. I will only be dealing with gameplay bugs not plot bugs for now. This is a inital set of fixes that I am releasing. I am a relative freshman when it comes to scripting, so please let me know if the fixes does not work, so that I can look into it immediately. Once each set of fixes have been verified, the next set will be released.
Comments and suggestions, negative or positive, are always welcome.

Use: extract the "Just Another FixPack" folder into your override folder.

General fixes:

1. Many of the talents and spell were suppose to generate threat upon impact towards its caster, but didnt do that due to coding errors. From now on, spell will generate impact threat, which means that enemies will switch to attacking mages more often. Talents will be fixed soon.

2. The Spell Anti-Magic Ward (AMW) was suppose to block all spell effects, primary and secondary. However, due to a base coding bug, the spell does not block any secondary effects. For example, if you cast a Cone of Cold on a target with AMW, the target will not take any damage, but will get frozen in place. Now, AMW will block all secondary spell effects. A big thanks goes out to WRFan on dragon age wiki who figured out the problem and suggested a solution.
