So now I guess the question is: what is the expected functionality of Faith and Conviction? By default, the base value is meant to be +4 Def and +8 For/Ref/Will, however it seems that the per rank disposition bonus is where things get murky. Most of us believe that the per rank disposition bonus should be +1 Def and +2 For/Ref/Will, but (as Kaylon points out) the current reality of the 3.02 patch puts the bonus at +0.8 Def and +1.6 For/Ref/Will. So, is Faith and Conviction working as expected in 3.02 or is it still bugged? Thanks!

Hi again! I haven't heard back from Obsidian about this issue yet, so I figured that another data point couldn't hurt. My main character now has rank 2 in both Stoic and Rational with no ranks in any disfavored dispositions. His current bonus from Faith and Conviction is +7 Deflection and +14 Fort/Ref/Wil. If my understanding of how this ability should work is correct, I would have expected the bonus to be +8 Deflection and +16 Fort/Ref/Wil. I've attached a screenshot of my character's reputation and resulting Faith and Conviction bonus for reference. Thanks!

Interesting. So it sounds like the issue is not related to any specific paladin order or disposition. Instead, it appears to be generally related to how the values are calculated for Faith and Conviction. Thanks for providing another data point! I'm sort of relieved that the issue isn't specifically tied to my build!

Hi, all! I noticed that the latest 3.02 patch didn't seem to correct my main character paladin's Faith and Conviction to correctly calculate the bonuses. From my understanding, Faith and Conviction is supposed to work as follows: Deflection: +4 (Base) / +1 per favored rank of disposition Fort/Ref/Wil: +8 (Base) / +2 per favored rank of disposition My character is a paladin of the Goldpack Knights and I do not believe that the Stoic disposition is calculating correctly for him. I went back to and old save to verify this and have attached a screenshot illustrating the issue. In the screenshot, my character has Stoic disposition set to 1 with no disfavored reputations ranked. The total bonus for Faith and Conviction for him comes out to +4 Deflection and +9 Fort/Ref/Wil. Also, in a later save, I noticed that my Rational disposition does seem to be somewhat calculating correctly. In the other screenshot posted below, we can see that my character now has rank 1 in both Stoic and Rational with no ranks in any disfavored dispositions. His total bonus for Faith and Conviction now comes out to +5 Deflection and +11 Fort/Ref/Wil. Is this an issue with the game not calculating correctly? Or is it an issue with using a save from 3.01? Thanks!
