INSANE Whirlwind DAMAGE: Saslae is NOT this cool.

Post by dominantdrowess » Thu Jul 28, 2022 5:38 am

Description of Bug Experienced:
Saslae did 2.5x damage higher than should have been done on a crit.


Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Attack Hardened Frost Troll with fire essence and Whirlwind Attack.

1d6 (scimi) +1d8(fire) +4 (positive) + 15 (str) + 4 (spec) + Epic Weapon Spec ... + 5 (power attack)

Hard-Capped 40 STR Masterly Damask Keen Scimitar = 3x critical damage. (Weapon Master)

Expected Result:
80 or so damage on a Hardened Frost Troll due to Hardened Frost Troll DR.

Actual Result:
248 damage critical hit to the face. (266 unmitigated!)

Additional Information/Notes
I feel like the damage multiplier from fire attacks is being applied to physical attacks. Possibly due to some leftovers from Spellsword Elemental Maelstrom? So because the Hardened Frost Troll is vulnerable to Fire damage... it's vulnerable to the combined damage? And bypassing it's natural physical DR?

Feels like a combination of factors on the frost troll and custom damage type of the scripted Whirlwind Attack. Delivering the damage individually may help or regroup the effects? Unknown. I am not an engine guru, just a former NWN's script monkey... or some weird script lag? Unknown.

If it's a fluke: Sorry I broke it. <3 My character is pretty damn cool, and very fun to play, but not supposed to be THAT cool or fun to play. xD

I solved the mystery! :D A fix should be live in a reset or two :)
