Path of the Kensai question ! Maybe a Bug?

Hello,

Recently I started to play one old Level 16 Path of the Kensai.

My Question to the "Arelith Staff" is":

What Kensai abilities did I kept? I'm asking this because I was under the impression that
I was reverted to a "Normal" Character Status when the Path was removed.

I do know that Originally the class was Perma Hasted AKA: 5 Attacks per round, 4AC, 10 dicipline
but then down the road it was decided to remove the Permahaste and tweek to something like "Immune to Paralysis"
"Allowed to use raise scrolls" and some other things I can't remember because they did so many changes in short time.


Then the path was removed and it felt like my character was like a normal one (Not even immune to paralysis)
because they removed the things I liked about then originally I shelved the character.

Now I'm playing her again (Currently at 21) and Like to know the Pluses about the path if any because I can't see them unless I'm missing something.
I'm asking this because I did Kept the Minuses for sure Like: I can use UMD, Scrolls when the times comes, can't equip a Gonne and some other things.

You still get +1 attack per round and +2AC from kensai. That's it.
The extra attack isn't visible on your character sheet, by the way. Check the combat log instead! :)

If that the case the Extra attack isn't working as should be ! Another player that have one tested his and isn't working for him either!
Reason why I believe something is wrong !

I'llwait what the Arelith staff have to say!

This was discontinued so long ago the staff might not even be able to readily answer. The wiki probably has the most up to date info.

http://wiki.nwnarelith.com/Kensai

If the extra attack is like the cleric extra attack during divine power it will come at the end of the round. You might need to really go over the numbers with a fine tooth comb.

Either way, if it is broken, don't count on a fix.

I like to hear the "Official" answer from the Staff if that the way it works .

Just after a player on this thread posted the Wiki info several player have approached me out of the forums with a different theories on how this works ! As a matter of fact I thought this extra attack was removed way way way back then when this was nerfed to death and I was just a normal character!

You really shouldn't be so dismissive of your fellow players, they are trying to assist you after all.

But everything on the wiki at this time is accurate.
