I remember this too, OSI fixed it mostly because of UOExtreme's "Multi Last Item" function (which was really just a fancy way of double-clicking as many items at once as you wanted to prequeue). Later on people used UOA + Purple Pots to do chain-bombings until that was fixed

If anyone can work out how to do the damn quest without the game crashing (with the hacked demo), I can test these things. I have no idea how to remove the avatar's invulnerability.

First, a look in the scripts does not reveal any checks to see if the player who targeted the spell is dead when the spell makes a function call to process the damage (although it would be very easy to do so).

Secondly, a test was on the demo was done with the explosion spell. The test revealed that when an explosion is targeted on another player, when both the attacker and defender are standing outside guard zone, that if the attacker died before the explosion spell did its damage 3 seconds later, the victim would still receive the damage from the explosion spell. Pending further testing on live servers, and a pinpoint of any changes subsequent changes after the demo, the indications at this point are that spells will continue to do their damage even after the caster dies.

I toss 4 exp pots into a crowded area, the first one does damage, I get guard whacked, the rest do 0 damage.
