Setting traps seems like a waste of time; am I doing something wrong?
Khalid the bear replied to xzar_monty's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)well since the dragons circle went over entire trap i would say tht enemy has to stand on trap with its centre of body

Khalid the bear replied to xzar_monty's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)problem is trap trigger. first, the trap area you set is tiny compared to trap areas encountered in the game second. i used traps in a dragon fight. dragon wallked over (or rather his circle did) ower 3 traps, none of them activated

Ring of Protection silently nerfed in 1.03 or 1.04
So in my original game (release to 1.03) i have found 2wersions of the Ring of the protection with the same name (not counting Minor ring of protection) common version Ring of Protection: Of Fortitude: +10 Fortitude Of Reflex: +10 Reflex Of Will: +10 Will and stronger version of RIng of Protection (one bought in copperlane, others found) Of Fortitude: +10 Fortitude Of Reflex: +10 Reflex Of Will: +10 Will Toughness 2: +4 Fortitude Reflex bonus 2: +4 Reflex Of Resolve: +2 Resolve (tougness and reflex bonus were supressed by the ring itself) in my second playtrough (1.03-1.04) i have found only common version now the change isnt retroactive (in my old save the stronger version is working as before) i doubt its a random loot table since one of the stronger rings was bought

Even more bugs I've encountered
Khalid the bear replied to LiterallyAHorse's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)Cali is a Drake (although a powerful one) as indicated in conversation with him (text stars with something like 'this drake') so i believe (havent checked though) he counts as drake in bestiary as for char records, iwe seen devs saying they are aware of it and that it shoud be patched (not sure if its going to make next patch though)

Triple Crown Solo on monk completed, my thoughts
Magical Implements ill put wand/scepter vs hunting bow for example Wand Fast range 10 base dmg 12-18 Pierce/Crush (exceptional) Scepter Fast range 10 base dmg 12-18 Pierce/Crush (exceptional) hunting bow Fast range 12 base dmg 13-20 pierce (exceptional) Rod average range 10 base dmg 14-21 Pierce/Slash (exceptional) War Bow average range 12 Base dmg 17-16 pierce (exceptional) (comparing these to firearms/aquebuses/crosbows is harder because of reload time. but aquebus ws crosbow is: Aquebus very slow base dmg 32-46 (superb) Crosboww slow (and it seems it has somewhat quicker reload time) base dmg 26-38 (superb) ) so they are of equal value. hunting bow has slightly higher base dmg, but wand/scepter have 2 damege types to chose froom range difference is small, and wands are ideal for cyphers since they automaticaly put them in range for most of their spells for chanters one wouuld optimaly take something with even less range, to put them in the middle of front and back line so their chants affect both esentialy not comparing firearms, i would say every ranged weapon has its pros and cons and its place in the game Two-Handed Weapons: staffs polearms and pikes have increased reach, which makes them ideal for 3rd mele character in doorway situations Estoc has high damage AND DR reduction Great swords have higher base dmg and Slash/Pierce my barbarian that uses pike/Greatsword has more total dmg, more hits and more crits (most in my party infact) than my monk that uses fists/staff (how much of that is from barbarians aoe, how much is from armor difference (Barb is in saints war armor, and monk in sanguine plate) and how much from weapon type its hard to tell)

[1.04] Item - Shod-in-Faith Boots - I have no idea how these are supposed to work.
Khalid the bear replied to Luckmann's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)and after combat the spell finishes its duration, and keeps healing in tics i dont think it has rest limit, just requres to be criticaly hit (therefore most often activated on chars with low defences) same as spell striking items activate vhen you criticaly hit (and most useful on characters with high acuracy)
