Warlock AB penalty

Post by Drowboy »

Description: Weapons with an ab penalty apply this penalty to eldritch blasts on warlocks

Steps to reproduce: equip weapon with ab penalty, hit the blast

Expected result: No penalty because bonuses don't work either

Actual result: Penalty to your touch attack

I think that's more of an intentional thing. Wield weapons you won't suffer an AB penalty.

positive weapon AB was changed to not give you bonuses

the inverse is not so

this seems more of an oversight, and it should just have weapon AB not impact RTAs (positive or negative)

Given, the paladin divine saves don't decrease your saves if your CHA is negative, but dark blessings do decrease your saves if your CHA is negative. Same logic could apply and it could be intentional so you don't use some weapon with strong stats that you're not proficient in... or could be untintentional but is later stated to be intentional

as you dont actuall ATTACK with the weapon, it should be of no consequence if you wield a dagger, a leg or a toaster, tbh. I think it is an oversight from the "no more +15 ab" nerf :D
