Wild Mage Surge: Ghostform

Post by Karris the Anarchist » Mon Jun 07, 2021 5:33 pm

Description
==========

The Wild Mage Surge Ghostform (Phantom-like powers) used to give a temp buff that gave immunity to crits and sneaks - recently, it only gives a minor AC buff.

Steps to reproduce
----------------------------

-fate.

Expected result
-----------------------

Give the buff like previously.

Actual result
-------------------
Not sure the actual amount of AC buff - the increase overlapped with Mage Armor with no difference.

Screenshot(s)

Notes
---------

If it was a nerf, it was never communicated anywhere - the power is now useless, either way.
That which doesn't kill you, simply makes you... stranger.

Having played with it a fair amount, I can say that the AC in that picture is from the mage armor you used as the triggering spell. Phantom Form still works, got it recently, but it is one of the surges that is VERY finnecky about how and when it appears. Can't say more without violating FOIG, but I recommend experimentation.

Bunnysmack has it right- the AC is from your Mage Armor. Wild Surge: Ghostform grants Crit and Sneak immunity, Damage reduction 5/+2, and 30% concealment, for a duration of CL/3 turns. Not a bug.

Done.
