Hexblade Bugs

Post by Vaeldria » Fri Jan 15, 2021 8:31 am

Hi!

I might be a bit off with these as I do not always fully understand mechanics, but there's consistently been some weirdness with Hexblade and Arcane Spell Failure.

I've 27 Hexblade levels, and 3 bard levels.

Currently, armour does not seem to reduce arcane spell failure (it used to), but even when it did, you'd have to unequip and re-equip it-

I.e. Armour + Shield = 35% ASF, taking off the armour reduces it to 15, putting the armour would apply the -20% reduction buff, reducing it to 10%, then taking off and putting the shield back on would add an additional 20% reduction to the shield, reducing it to 0%.

However, at the moment, no ASF reduction is applied under any circumstances.

A lesser concern is the Cursed Weapon spell itself- it persists through rests, the damage and glow, but not the +5 enchantment; the visual indicator can be a bit deceptive. Due to the cooldown update, you can simply re-apply the buff, but I imagine it'd be confusing for new players.

Apologies if I'm off the mark with any of this, (for all I know it may be intentional), but I figured I'd at least make mention of it.
