A collection of Inflict Minor Wounds Bugs

Post by kinginyellow » Sun Jul 24, 2022 6:14 am

Description of Bug Experienced:
Bug 1: Inflict Minor Wounds Suffering Domain Interaction not Working as Intended.


Steps to reproduce the Bug:

No vampiric Healing is received.


Additional Information/Notes
These were all tested on a Defiler Cleric.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description of Bug Experienced:
Bug 2: Defiler Cleric Divine Favour should Maximize Inflict Minor Wounds Damage


Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Make Defiler Cleric
Cast Divine Favor
Cast Inflict Minor Wounds

Expected Result:
Maximized damage for inflict minor wounds


Actual Result:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description of Bug Experienced:
Bug 3: Melee Touch Attacks not applying the highest of STR or DEX when the character has Weapon Finesse


Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Make a character with access to a melee touch attack and higher Dex than STR
Cast said melee touch attack on a target

Expected Result:
AB should be affected by Dex instead of STR


Actual Result:
Dex doesn't affect the AB values


Additional Information/Notes
These were all tested on a Defiler Cleric.


I'm also not sure if the Death Domain empowering effect is applying to inflict Minor wounds. Death Domain Empowering, Divine Power Maximizing, and Suffering Domain Vampiric Healing is applying as intended on other inflict spells.

Edit: If this is intentional to not make a cantrip overtake other inflict spells at higher levels, I get it. I'm only pointing this out because until I can level up enough to get Divine Power, for most encounters summons and inflict minor wounds are my go to. I didn't see anywhere on the documentation that this shouldn't apply though.

Edit 2: Applied correct formating

Thanks for the report and using the bug report template! Melee touch attacks only work based on STR right now, just like zen archery won't let you use WIS for ranger touch attacks. It'd make sense, definitely, but so far no one's planning to change the base game behavior in this regard.

The Inflict Minor Wounds bugs are indeed working as intended, the spell would be too powerful if it metamagic and vampiric healing applied :)

Might need to correct the documentation on the wiki then. Death Domain, Suffering Domain and Defiler Cleric all state Inflict Minor Wounds as a spell that these effects apply to.

This was the only reason I posted a bug report, because, yeah a cantrip at level 27 hitting for 81 damage and healing for half would be pretty busted.
