Broken Past Life Feats

[Lithic]

Lets start a list (Hopefully a short one).


1) Past Life: Rogue. This currently does give +2 to saves vs. traps, but the +1 to sneak damage is not being applied, or possibly is not stacking with the rogue sneak damage enhancement (or even worse, the natural rogue sneak attack feat).

How I tested: For traps, I stood in a trap on a lvl 2 rogue with a +6 reflex save. Without any other feats or enhancements, I was getting rolls of 1d20+8 to save vs traps, so this part seems to work fine. As for the sneak attack damage, the same rogue (1d6 natural SA) with one tier of SA damage (+3), and a past life as a rogue (+1 damage) should have generated sneak damage of 1d6+4, or 5-10. I was getting 4-9 consistently through over 200 observed sneak attacks. Bug reports will be filed in the morning, I had to log off for bed.

Anyone else find a flaw in their past lives?

Considering how half the capstone enhancements are still broken, for the mean-time, I wouldn't count on past life feats actually working as intended.

[Asketes]

you are wrong!

everything is working, EXACTLY as intended

:p

Lies, they're not on the known issues list, so they're not broken.... :cool:

But it does suck that it seems they pushed out True Reincarnation, with broken feats already..... :rolleyes: Jeeeezz..... :o

I was a past life rogue reincarnated as a ranger. I thought with a sneak weapon I would see that plus one, but I do not :(

[smatt]

Well...... If it's not on the "Known Issues" list........ It must be working just fine.... :rolleyes:

I took the Healing Word past life feat on a reincarnated clr -> ftr and it works just fine. In fact, it works better than expected as it's more like 1d2+2 per 2 char levels instead of the advertised 1d4. It's also effected by devotion and metamagics, so with sup dev I & 20% healing amp I'm healing 5x a day @ ~60 hp per cast at lvl 16.

Maybe it's not worth a feat on a non-ftr/mnk/wiz, but it works well for this chars intermidiate life. My only complaint is that the free passive feat for clerics is useless to anyone who doesnt reinc a clr into another clr.

Well that would actually be somewhat consistent with the rest of the Cure Spells, which instead of a D8 base are actually more like a D6+2 when you roll Cure spells.

Fixed that for you. There’s a bunch of useful arcane spells on the Conjuration spell list (http://compendium.ddo.com/wiki/Category:Conjuration_Spells)

Yeah, useful for a caster, just sucks it's not useful for a cleric. (The part it affects for clerics is already worthless!!!!)


It should be something like +5% healing boost ... c'mon meow turbine.

In regards to the Past Life: Rogue sneak attack damage, I noticed that the +1 to sneak attack damage kicked in at level 4. I don't know why this would occur, but this is what I have observed.
