Show Augmented Summon buff on Summons Sheet

Unread post by Steve »

Hello!

As it is now, when a build has the Augment Summon feat, the Ability bonuses are applied at moment of summons, however, those Ability bonuses do not show up as stats-in-Blue, like every other buff will do.

It has, for many many many years, caused much confusion. Thus...is it possible to make the Augment Summon buff actually show it's application by making the stats read in Blue, too?

Or...is has this been made in such a way so that additional buffs will still apply, on top of the Augment Summon buffs?

Thank you for your consideration.

The only reason it stacks is because it changes the innate stats. And as it affects innate stats, it's a white bonus, rather than a blue bonus. Blue is enhancement/magic/etc bonuses.

So, no, this isn't possible to change (without a redesign of the sheet UI as a whole).

Dammit. It was this that I was concerned about.

Well, thanks for the info. I'll bring this over to the wiki so that future users might get a better, more complete picture of what to expect.
