heldred Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Running a Warden (Druid-Lifegiver/Fighter-Devoted) in my party. I specialize in Great Sword (Devoted) I cast Firebrand. I have -10 Accuracy (Devoted penalty) WTH? So what is Firebrand? Description is “a powerful sword of pure fire” that requires two hands to use. Sounds like a great sword... Is it a mace? A spear? A duck? Someone please explain what I missing. Thank you! Edited July 13, 2018 by heldred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkathellar Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Odd. According to the game files, Firebrand has the proper item proficiency set. Not sure why it wouldn't be registering as a greatsword. Anyway, the point is that it's a bug. Report it. If I'm typing in red, it means I'm being sarcastic. But not this time. Dark green, on the other hand, is for jokes and irony in general.

Loren Tyr Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) It is indeed a Great Sword, also says so when you summon it and look at it's description. So should work fine with Devoted, and also with the modal. I just did a quick check and made myself a druid / devoted hireling with Great Sword proficiency, which got correct accuracy and use of modal for both spell and scroll Firebrand. And in the past I've had a main character with Great Sword proficiency who occasionally used scroll Firebrand; not devoted, but definitely used modal for that too. So if it's a bug, it's not an entirely general one. Might be an issue specifically with your game files perhaps, I'd try verifying the game files for a start (if you're using Steam, that is).

heldred Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Integrity check on Steam is fine... /sigh Reporting a bug... why does his feel like work? Only thing I can think of is that the Fire ring (+10 ACC for Fire attacks) is messing with logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeroer Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) Just tested a Paladin/Animist with the great sword proficiency - and when using Firebrand I can trigger the Savage Attack just fine. Also the Ring gives me +10 ACC which stacks with FoD's +10 ACC bonus. Edited July 14, 2018 by Boeroer Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
