Update Notes - March 21st, 2013

[Poltergeist]

You're going to find a lot of bards and EK's and arcane archers that would disagree vehemently with you. Just because a feat isn't meant for pure casters, doesn't mean it's a waste of a feat.

I am looking at it from a casters perspective, having 2 attacks that rarely hit isnt that good, however +5 damage when you have 4-5 attacks is 20-25 damage, which is pretty decent for a free move. Perhaps i should have said it is a waste for myself, being a pure caster.

Yeah, any feat that lets you squeeze out some extra damage is worth it, even if its every 10th round. Especially if you're a Dex-based EK, this feat would almost be a must-have.

Is Dark Strike supposed to add Divine or Magical damage. I haven't gotten the feat yet, but I've heard it is giving magical from another player.

[Poltergeist]

It would be nice if it were divine, or negative. But damage bonuses vs alignment or race are always magical. That wasn't the case in NWN1, but Obsidian.

[Seheren]

The description says vs all foes?

[Farmboy2003]

I've made a 3rd level bard that use arcane strike. It's a nice instant feat, but you have to remember to re-target foes.

It seems to me though, that the Attack bonus doesn't work. My bard gets a +1 magical damage, but no bonus to attack. But I'm not sure due as to how inspire courage works here. Inspire courage are meant to supply bludgeoning damage, but nwn2 faultily makes it magical damage, but has this been fixed on sundren? If not, then arcane strike does NOT stack with inspire courage....

[Poltergeist]

Arcane Strike does not give an attack bonus, just magical damage. It is stacking correctly.

[Phantom Lamb]

Farm - note that the description doesn't match the feat right now. There is a bit in there about attack and damage bonus, as well as it being 9 seconds. Both are false, and I think it will be replaced on next update if I saw correctly.

[Farmboy2003]

You're right both of you. You know, sometimes you just need to write things down to get a better understanding of them. Sorry to bother you.

An update that came after this one disabled Aura of Justice. I suspect it disabled other class changes as well.

[Poltergeist]

On the plus side, new dwarf PC's are now 200% beardier than previous dwarf PC's.

*blinks and tries to make a new PC*

Oh yeah, and this is true LITERALLY. They've put in the extra beards!

By Moradin's Hammer, why wasn't this in the Patch Notes?

New Dwarven PC's, GO!

[Lugwy]

Probably to avoid a Skyrim joke.

[Phantom Lamb]

Why do you insist on encouraging the dwarves?!?!?!
