Nodachi Insightful Strike Damage Amount and Type Error on Live

Post by Asutii »

Description of Bug Experienced:

Insightful Strike is providing the Profaned Decapitator with a redundant slashing damage bonus that is two points higher than my character's INT modifier, rather than an amount equal to the INT modifier of bludgeoning damage as it was before.

Steps to reproduce the Bug:

Have character with 21 swashbuckler levels and 8 INT modifier equip Profaned Decapitator and apply Insightful Strike damage bonus.

Expected Result:

Character with 21 swashbuckler levels and 8 INT modifier equips Profaned Decapitator, game applies "Damage Bonus: Bludgeoning 8 Damage (Temporary)".

Actual Result:

Character with 21 swashbuckler levels and 8 INT modifier equips Profaned Decapitator, game applies "Damage Bonus: Slashing 10 Damage (Temporary)", overwriting the 1d4 Slashing Damage Bonus inherent to the weapon.

Screenshot(s)

Additional Information/Notes

I am playing on PC, on the latest update of NWN: EE.

Insightful Strike appears to be working as intended on PGCC, providing an 8 bludgeoning damage bonus to the same sword on the same character, however on live it acts as above.

It's taking the average of your 1d4 and adding on to it. In order to prevent stranger stacking issues that I was seeing, I had to make the damage bonus be based on the weapon damage. It was causing incompatibility and weird stuff with certain buffs like GMW and bless weapon.
