[Arnya]

Repair:

• Does not indicate the DC to restore disabled Warforged characters -- Player answer: DC 21
• Amount of hit points healed when rest -- Player answer: 10+3*(highest Repair score among nearby party member)

Great thread BTW

hehe, oops? fixed.

You can still get knocked down by a minotaur. It does work against most mobs and spells.

Don't know if this is a misleading description or just a bug.

Here's one of my pet peeves...

The percentage chance to activate a scroll using umd. It's off by 5% everywhere.

For example...

Let's say character A has a 17 umd skill, and they're looking at a scroll that needs a umd check of 20 to succeed on. The percentage chance to successfully use the scroll shows up as an 85%. So 85% success/15 % fail, right? But you add your die roll to the check.


So you actually only have a 10% chance to fail....

Wow. I was planning on updating that thread soon and didn't see that reply.

I'll reviewing wiki articles shortly and that's when I am most likely to find unclear/false information. If you know any, feel free to share.

I'll try to confirm that later today and add that to the

its true, umd's success rate display doesn't account for you always rolling at least a 1.

I'll add that then. Thanks Osharan and Junts.

Thread needs a bump.

[Borror0]

Evasion:

* Does not mention that it only works when wearing light or no armor

Though a pop up does come up if your in med/hvy telling you cant do it in that armor type in combat.

Does the Tower Shield feat actually explain what it does?

To be honest, this post is the reason that I don't like the official compendium. They list things like a DM does (i.e., vaguely), while as players we want the hard numbers. I hope you'll move all this information to the wiki, Borr.

Sort of...? The description, which can be found here, is clear but vague "You are proficient with tower shields."

It falls apart if you don't know what tower shields or proficiency is but both are things that should be remedied in another way.

I hope you'll move all this information to the wiki, Borr.

I will but I think that having this list is good for easy access and as a list from which the developers can pick information to clarify.

I hope MadFloyd's following this one.

Added Kensai II, Power Surge and Thief-Acrobat I.

[Borror0]

Added Holy Sword: Does not mention that the weapon created is also Silver and Byeshk on top of being +5 Holy Cold Iron.

Updated the thread to reflect this change from the release notes:

Non-trainable sub-enhancements will now be displayed in the Enhancements UI before being trained. Example: The Lesser Wind Stance and Storm Strike I will display below Disciple of Breezes.

Haste: The spell description no longer makes any mention of the run speed increase to 40%. However, if you cast it, the combat log still says 40%... And from my experience, the run speed increase seems no better than 30% striders but I just quickly tested this, not in-depth testing in the least.

Quick Draw: Description of the Feat ONLY mentions increased attack speed with throwing weapons. Nothing else. It is 10% as well, I tested it.

Backstabing both the rogue feat 1d6 progression and the weapons are 'physical' type damage and effected by DR.

I also know the the feats that take 'half your damage' effect rogue backstabing damage as well... well at least resliance did while I had it... was kinda very helpful when running SoS hehe.

I have added Haste, simply saying that it does not list the bonus to movement speed.

As for Quick Draw, it seems that the description was changed recently but I see nothing in the release notes. Weird. I'm not sure what to do with this one...

Yeah, that is how sneak attack works.

The Frenzied Berzerker's Death Frenzy's mouseover text merely reads "OMG You are so angry!" There may be other text, but I highly doubt that is supposed to be the real mouseover text.

Oh my, that's pretty awesome though. I'm trying to remember what spell still had a placeholder once. I think the icon even was a Tasty Ham.

By the way, do you mean the mouse over on the buff bar, on the hotbar or at enhancement selection?

The mouseover on the buff bar and in the examination window.
