Question about Northlander hewing

Unread post by WhatsInTheBox »

I'm looking for multiple answers to get a good consensus of how it functions.... Does anyone know if the added bludgeoning dmg from Northlander hewing is multiplied on a crit? I'd certainly hope so.

Based on this thread from the discussion held a while back it appears Tsid indicated the bludgeoning damage does not crit, so unless that was changed (fixed?) then currently it still doesn't.

Yes and no, actually the damage bonus given by northlander overrides the enhancement bonus on the weapon instead of stacking.

So if you have a +3 weapon and a +8 STR modifier you only get a +8 damage bonus instead of +11, but the +8 crits.

Tweaked things so that they'll stack, check in next update.

The wiki says that this feat maximises any bonus physical damage dealt on your attacks. Is this also the case for any sneak/death attack damage made with these attacks as they are also physical damage?

Probably not, worth testing it though (and if it works it would likely means tweaking).

the feat is not worth it, 2 attacks is a joke, and i regret taking it its okay levels 1-10 but after that it proves pretty bad
