Blast - MIN damage (from DR) too high

[dainbramage]

Have a blast doing 6.0 damage against 22 (reduced to 12) DR, then ending up doing 11.2 somehow. Don't have a save for it unfortunately.

 

Version is 3.02 from GOG. Aloth was wielding the Engwithan sceptre with penetrating blast. Hard difficulty. It seemed to be occurring whenever blasts were reduced to min damage, didn't notice it affecting other attacks though I wasn't looking that hard.

 

I also just noticed that adding the penetration to what the result should have been gives 6.0/5 + 10 = 11.2. If I see it again I'll see if that holds up and attach a save.

did you count the bonus 20% from the raw damage?

raw damage of course not being affected by DR.

[dainbramage]

Raw damage? He was using the speed sceptre you have to find the pieces for, not the soulbound one from a call to court. And even then that should only affect the main hit, not blast right?

[Ichthyic]

ah, thought it was the soulbound one.  and no, all the blast damage is affected by weapon bonuses too, and affected by dr in the same way.

Yeah, you should have done 1.2dmg instead of 11.2 - it's like if 10 more dmg were added from thin air.

It's magic!
