Epic paladin damage bonus not stack with divine might

Post by Helsing » Tue Sep 13, 2022 2:15 pm

The +2 divine damage from epic paladin doesn't seem to stack with divine might, as shown in pic below:
This is a 2-handed vengeance pally with 38 cha, so divine might damage is 14 + 7(2handed) + 3(vengeance) = 24.
So with epic paladin bonus it shall be 20 divine + 6 pierce instead of 4? Is this intended or a bug?

Character sheet isn't reliable for a number of custom features, and iirc from my last paladin play, the bonus damage from the oath is one of those features.

Hit something with divine might active, take a screenshot of how much damage you do, and whether you're doing the correct amount of divine damage.

So the redline is 4 divine from permanent essence, 20 divine(+4 pierce) from might and 2d6 to dragons from blessed weapon

the least damage i shall get is 2(pally) + 4(perm) + 20(might) + 2(roll double 1 for blessed weapon) = 28, but the pic shows 27

I think the issue is after adding the +2D6 damage against dragon, before that all numbers are good, or is that the +xx damage against specific race not stack with some damage bonus?

I don't think +4 divine and +20 divine will stack to +24 divine, it will simply take the highest number in this case 20

Divine might isn’t actually standard divine damage, even though it shows up as such in the log as such. The divine essence and bless weapon are what’s not stacking here, as they are the same type, even if one is conditional.

What about bless weapon's +divine damage vs XX and holy sword's +divine damage vs evil, they are the same type but can they stack?
