Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Should be "interesting" - in DDO, everyone runs Rage 24/7. For the stacking +2 strength.

Makes you wonder why they bothered making epic armour look cool when everyone is just pulsing red, but you know.

I'll say sure, change it, subject to us keeping an eye on it. If it starts entering the permanent-party-buff rotation we might have an issue, though.

Hmmm true, it would be a str stackable buff, but i assumed the -2 ac and 6 sec/round duration would be enough of a deterrent to keep it off the grind rotation. Especially since it competes directly with the haste spell which is still superior to use as a grinding spell.

Granted it does stack...but it is only +2. I can't see that being much of a game breaker.

All bonuses to stats (STR, DEX, etc.) in NWN2 are treated as Enchanted Bonus.

This may or may not get adjusted. So lets call it TBD.

I forgot normally ability bonuses just don't stack.
It's the way the game is.

I spent some time looking at the barbarians rage ability and why that stacks and couldn't figure it out.
I had to go ask the Oracle about it (Kaedrin).

He said the game handles rage differently within the game engine itself.

Unless otherwise noted, Kaedrin has used other bonus types to stack(Such as Sacred/Profane, Luck, Morale...things of that nature) to work with standard Spells. Many paladin spells he made are Sacred Bonuses.

lucky paladins... warlocks get nothing

PS. think the spell should be changed so the stats stack... it's in the description... not one argument it shouldn't
besides this spell should have some mind altering factor.. it's a rage.. it does not make you forw muscles like bulls strength
if it alters your mind state it should stack with other bonuses

It is like a Rage...an adrenaline rush, not magically beefing up your muscles.
