Flurry Bug/Changes

Post by Avidya »

Description
==========
* Both flurry and UBAB (on Monk characters) no longer function with shuriken.

Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
1) Activate flurry on an unarmed monk.
2) Equip Shuriken (flurry deactivates).
3) Attempt to reactivate flurry (reports as a non-flurryable weapon).
4) Examine character sheet to see that UBAB has not remained in effect with shirken equiped.

Expected result
-----------------------
* UBAB and Flury allowing for extra attacks as indicated on the Arelith Wiki's Monk page.

Actual result
-------------------
* Upon equiping shuriken; flurry is deactivated and unactivatable, and the character sheet indicates loss of UBAB.

Misc Notes
----------------
* I beleive this is simply the effect of the more recent beamdog update. Note that Kama no longer works with flurry or UBAB as well (Arelith wiki lists this change as pending) .
* While the removal of Kama from flury/UBAB, makes good sense; the removal of shuriken renders them entirely obselete mechancically (as darts will now provide greater base damage, as a 'simple' weapon, in addition to allowing strength bonus to damage; with a further handicap to shuriken being present in the create-ammo feat as well, at higher levels).

Which Server(s)?
------------------------
* Confirmed on both PGCC and Underdark.

Shuriken was stripped of UBAB along with all the other UBAB-enabled weapons (i.e. q-staff, naginata, etc.).

I agree it needs changing, but it was just a blanket removal of UBAB. For an example, the Assassin ability "Hidden Danger" still doesn't work for shurikens despite the UBAB removal.

I say give it some time and suggest a new stat-line once the suggestions open.
