I see you may have misunderstood this question. I know that epic precision works with ranged (sneak attacks) attacks. The question is whether it works with the special damage of OOTBI since per description, this damage does not apply on crit or sneak attack immune enemies.

I would also want to know if you get full damage against sneak attack immune, half damage, or no damage for a character that has epic precision and OOTBI levels.

Thanks!

This set of questions concerns Fist of the Forest's interaction with the shape change mechanic.

1) Does the CON AC bonus increase based on the shape's CON bonus?
2) Does the unarmed damage increase apply to a shape's unarmed damage?
3) Does the feral trance adjust its duration once you shapechange to a high CON shape?

1) You get half damage for SA, as of ranged precision, it's hard to tell because:
2) I have explained OoBI mechanics a bit earlier and, from it, it's quite clear that SA + OoBI renders OoBI useless because it doesn't kick in immediately. I believe, you will shoot 2 out of 3 of your arrows in first turn before that +10 dmg actually kicks in. Also, please keep in mind that the only way QC has to test things is by rolling a PC and manually checking. Thus, when we speak of dice damage, it's long and not reliable process. Say, i roll a 4d6 SA OoBI. it's average is 14 dmg, but, in fact, it's anything from 4 to 28 on top of weapon damage dice randomness. Combined with OoBI ranged precision mechanics where i hardly can say whether attack get boost or not in first place, it'd take quite a time to investigate. Dmg roll randomness, sneak dice randomness - many variables that make things hard to test. The only way i can do is just hitting enemies long enough to make sure the roll goes over regular damage.

Long story short, without OoBI ranged precision being reworked, i won't recommend using it because even if it works, you won't get +10 Dmg bonus for sneak in 70% cases because it doesn't kick in immediately after you press "attack".

When you use Polymorph Self or Shapechange, do feats such as Divine Might, Epic Divine Might, and Divine Shield still work? Do they add any damage or AC?

YYA wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 9:43 am Well, I have not used Hideous Blow in a very long time, so I am not sure of how it is implemented as a mode. And you know, I have this faint memory that I am not the first one to bring up the Bearlocks -- and thus hideous blow might not work while in bear form -- I think there was a time you could not use it if you used the invocation to turn yourself into a Cornugon. It is just bunch of old and ancient stuff.
