Hmm. I would expect Lyssa's Veracious Concord to affect people's ultravision
buffs as well. This would certainly make bards unpopular especially to the
races like Erudites, Humans and Barbarians who have normal vision.

It wouldn't surprise me if it did given the way the bard songs overwrite
other spells' effects. This is something that'd be good to "bug" as I would
expect our song to not overwrite others' vision buffs. Point taken.

Yea, this has always been strange that NPC's can tell your religion by
looking at you, regardless of your illusion. It's about the only time
religion becomes a factor, and is why we have all these agnostic enchanters
in the game.

What was the change they made to the way illusions affects faction?
