I leveled up my Monk from 8 to 9. Why can I not take Improved Critical Bludgeoning? The prereq is a base attack of +8 and prof. I have both, unarmed, staff and club are all blunt weapons. Is this a bug? I can't find anything in known issues.

Monks have "medium" Base Attack Bonus progression (like bards, rogues, clerics), meaning they don't get +1 BAB at 1st level and every 4 levels after (1, 5, 9...). So at level 9 you have BAB of 6, not 8.

What you see, however, is the effect of Flurry of Blows, which gives you extra BAB when centered and using special monk weapons.

Thank you very much! it was driving me crazy.

Weak Soul Gems: They may or may not be used in future crafting rituals. Right now they are just shiny things to look at (or trade/sell to someone who likes them)

I'm sure I've listed this before somewhere, but here it is again since it was so long ago:

The "double penalty" for level protection items (Silver Flame Talisman, Scarab of Protection, etc) - bug or intended?

What I mean by this is if you have two (or more) of these items equipped, and are hit with a level draining effect, every item loses charges. Example: let's say you were hit with Enervation for -3 levels....every protection item loses 3 charges. So if you have two equipped you lose 3 from each for a total of 6. If you had three items you would lose a total of 9 charges (again 3 from each). So on and so forth. This doesn't seem right.

Bug or intended?

Is there any use for Soul Gem:Essence of Domination?

Is there any use for Soul Gem:Essence of Domination?

The only Soul Gems that (currently) do anything in game are Soul Gem:Essence of Earth. They are used in the Adamantine Ritual in the Stone of Change. Please do a search under Eldritch Rituals for more info.

Oh, and something that has been bugging me a while:

Loading Screen Tip #51 states, "Blah, blah, blah.....monster resistant....blah, blah, blah." It should be, "Blah, blah, blah.....monster is resistant....blah, blah, blah."

Spot skill is broken on non-Rogues. Two Monnks I normally run with are not able to spot danger even though they have higher Spot skill than my Rogue. Rangers are also reporting problems.

Unfortunately, it takes about that long to get a response when reporting a problem through the normal means.

When you have an item equipped via Use Magic Device when you log out, when you log back in that item is no longer still equipped. This is an old bug, which was fixed at one point and has now reappeared.

I went to all 21 or 23 whatever it is and the sunken trench is causing me problem.
I swam over it and got the ding and it said XP but it hasnt marked off on my log and I cant get all the XP for completion.

I have logged in and out several times and yup stuck

If some one casts an extended durability buff (stoneskin, elemental protection) on you and the durability of that buff is low (anything below the starting) and you cast the same spell again but not extended there is no refresh of the durability at a lower time limit (instead of 25 min at 4 durability it would change to 16 min at 150 durability).

Is that how its supposed to work? The time limit is the more powerful factor in determining if you can refresh the spell rather then the durability?

In the end its another reason to not extend durability buffs such as stoneskin and elemental protection.

There are two features like that; are you sure you got both?

Spring Attack does not appear to be working with thrown weapons.

I'm not sure if it's just a display but (haven't had a chance to test it and check my combat log) but the -4 to hit is showing up in the Inventory panel if I have a throwing weapon equipped and I'm moving.

Shot on the Run. Thrown weapons are ranged.

Sorry, I meant Shot on the Run. First time with a ranged toon and I mis-wrote myself.

I still haven't had a chance to see if it's a display bug only. I'll post as soon as I get a chance to log him and find out.

Check what it displays on the attack dice as you are attacking something while moving. I have the same visual issue in the inventory panel with SOTR and my bows.

Coming soon you might notice that bearded devils correctly obey their teleport delay timer.
