same bug for me...sometimes it works - often it doesn't even when chasing the merchant over half the map

The + speed bonus for melee attacks that you get for shooting the pistol is permamently stuck with Maia - its constantly stuck in her character sheet at 22 second duration and doesn't go away anymore.... when i shoot the pistol again i get an additional time the buff (at least visually) - but the new one does disappear after the time is up... is there any way to remove it by console (i tried to find it via ability name / game data) but that doesn't seem to work - at least i can't find the passive effect

at lest on the wiki there is also a fire in the whole listed which seems to be the same weapon? not sure what this is about

yeah the frost one is in a dungeon on the very left side of the island...saurips and ogres in their, levels are i think 10-12

well companions have the stats they have can't change that

It doesn't mean anything. Welcome to Pillars of Eternity, where mechanic descriptions are wrong more times they are right. This is in no way limited to Chanter chants. I assumed its 6 plus 3 but this 10 seconds duration is incredibly confusing and unecessary, why even write it in most phrases? Someone gad to write it down and think of SOMETHING

The difference is with a wizard or druid you are much more likely to go single class if you want a pure caster-nuker...you usually mostly multiclass for buffing...with a chanter which leads itself more to multiclassing of how it works it really doesnt help besides, sure you can always create your own character or a mercenary and min max the hell out of stats and use sub classes to make some combination work fine - but i want to play the game its supposed to be with the companions i have and the stats they have been given...

Chanters are amazing...ok except that non of my invocations can actually debuff anything on potd because the chance is so low its not even worth using - everything has resistances through the roofes

So i understand that i need to do a quest called no honor among thieves...but how do i get to that after i have done blow the man down?

Its supposed to be THE multiclass but the class has nearly no passive talents that you can stack as most martial classes...can only have 1.5-2 passive auras at best and on POTD even empowered chanter invocation debuffs have MAYBE a 50% hit rate....dont even try it not empowered.... I think the chanter needs desparatly passives that for example increase accuracy of invocations, increases linger time or other bonuses....honestly at this point i regret making pallegina a herald instead of a crusader

But what does this for 10 seconds mean in the phrase description? If it has no meaning, why is it there?

A lot of phrases are 6 seconds duration, 3 seconds linger, 10 seconds effects I am not sure i fully understand how this works in practice for example does that mean that when i use the phrase once i get a duration of 6+3 = 9 seconds so connecting 2 phrases means 3 secons "downtime" between them, or does it mean that i get a duration of 6+3+10 seconds because at the very end of the 3rd second lingering it will still apply the 10 secons lasting effect again (i think it's not that)...but how does this "lasts for 10 seconds" that most phrases have play into the calculation?

my issue is with the wyrmtongues that if you get closer than around 150m they will either try to feel or try to board you... honestly, my fastest way to win ship combats is just to charge the ship, board it and have the battle autoresolve while i get a glass of water

my problem is just that all the casters - especially if you multiclass them - have such a low chance to affect anything with debuffs on potd its no fun

isn't wtich really squishy?

I think you look at subclasses too much from a solo perspective instead of them as part from a group

The stiletto from rust and the rapier from the vault are probably the best weapons for thieves....speed, accuracy, flanking bonus, ctit effects...but both piercing

Maybe thats my subjective impression but sooo many things have super high pierclng resistance

don't you have party members with high perception?You will have fun then, there is an island on the lower left corner of the map (which may or may not contain nice treasure) that may or may not have a bazillion traps ) ) Playing through with story companions. Eder, Xoti, and Aloth (For SOME reason) all have 12 Perception. Hopefully Serafen has more. Nope...you need maia

don't you have party members with high perception? You will have fun then, there is an island on the lower left corner of the map (which may or may not contain nice treasure) that may or may not have a bazillion traps ) )

can't you solve it peacfully after you have completed a sinking feeling? Because some walkthrough's on the internet say you can, maybe they are wrong? But editing the files as suggested earlier in the thread works fine so in case you want to take another route

honestly there seem very few skill checks on attributes...the most i have seen was perception....but not that high and perception is nice for spotting traps and treasure anyway.... int, resolve, i haven't seen any 20 hours into the game... what gets checked often are skills and backgrounds - what comes up often is diplomacy/bluff/intimidate and insight...what also pop's up regularly is survival especially in scripted events, history, religion and streetwise are fewer but come up sometimes....Athletics comes up too in scripted events What i do is just focus one of my characters on one skill, i think most beneficial to the main character are insight, diplomacy and athletics

oooh ok now i get it...the action speed bonus seems quite small...whats the max nr of phrases you can hold, like 5? thats 10% bonus....meh

the rapier from the vault seems also like a valid option...+25% damage on flanked targets is pretty nice

just a lot of work to make something work that i dont really need but would be kinda nice....
