Polymorph not respecting Sprint after level 18

Post by Regnant Phoenix » Tue Nov 01, 2022 12:30 am

Description of Bug Experienced: The Sprint feat when used by a Werewolf or Totem Druid while polymorphed after level 18 applies no movement speed bonus.

Steps to reproduce the Bug:
  1. Be a Totem Druid or a PC afflicted with Lycanthropy
  2. Polymorph into your Totem Form or Werewolf Form
  3. Active the Sprint feat

Expected Result: Receive a significant speed bonus for X duration, as declared by your physical stats


Actual Result: Receive no speed bonus for X duration.


Screenshot(s) N/A

Additional Information/Notes
The Sprint feat activates normally and clicking the Sprint icon near your portrait displays the correct duration. The speed bonus works just fine before level 18.

Can confirm this is the case on both my werewolf and totem druid after exactly level 18

Can confirm at exactly lvl 18 movement speed on Totem Druid using the "sprint" action bugs out, but only for altered/totem shape. Other shape changing seems unaffected, so this thread may not be properly named.

Part of me wonders if this is another math error related to Totems?
See here: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=44844

The specific error is that the movement speed granted at the given stat/level range should be (+50%) but it instead comes in as (+5%) making sprinting almost unnoticeable.

This is an old report. Does anyone know if this resolves as you continue to level?

Update: Confirmed with others sprint bug persists on level-up for all totem druids. Can also confirm that it does not affect regular Druids.

I'll take a look.

Given the minimum speed bonus on spring is 5%, and knowing how totem form interacts with brawler and pugilist, my guess is it is basing the speed bonus off the base stats rather than the totem stats. I'll double check when I can though

I've noticed an odd progression thereafter. Been meaning to post on it. It happens on even Totem levels, i.e. when your shape gets better.

Lvl 18 (+.05%) Here is where the trouble starts.
Lvl 20 (+.15%)
Lvl 22 (+.25%)

...and that is as far as I got.
