    Default Verik's Necklace bug

    Hi,

    I checked rapidly and did not see this issue raised yet.

    Just to warn all the users of this necklace to basically never switch it out for some other necklace, as this will cause you to lose action boosts (I know, up to now this sounds like it is what should happen, but read on)

    I reported the bug as such:

    1)equip Verik Necklace and shrine. Note the number of action boosts.
    2)unequip Verik Necklace, this does lower all the action boosts by 2.
    3)re-equip Verik Necklace. Nothing happens, as it should.
    4)unequip Verik Necklace again, this does again lower all the action boosts by 2. This is wrong. You can repeat this and eventually bring your number of actions boosts to zero.

    Aye I found the same thing on Stalward necklace. Samething probably happens with the extra uncanny dodge thingy, and the extra dragonmarks as well.
    Quite a serious oversight if you ask me.

    Yeah, I noticed this too. It's the kind of backwards thinking that gets people in trouble with HPs too sometimes - you shouldn't keep track of how many HPs you have left, but instead keep track of damage, and if I recall correctly the change to Minos Legens a while back was to resolve that type of issue. Similarly they should probably be keeping track of how many boosts you've used, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Bard sets work the same way in regards to # of songs, cleric turns, etc.

    All done with Completionist (again) and Epic Completionist. First character to 30 on Sarlona* (before the rollback).

    By the way, the D&D rulebooks spell out how this stuff is supposed to be handled:
    You keep track of the uses so far that day, and once they hit the limit the ability stops working. But if something is done to increase the limit, such as a charisma buff for cleric turns, then you can go using it some more even if you were previously "at zero".
