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

Natural Leader is something I believe was taken at character creation, and it says it gives my companions extra attack (+1).
But unlike with other aura-like things, the extra attack bonus icon doesn't appear anymore on my companions. It always used to.

I also noticed each time I get out of the Nexus, some of my toon's auras seem not active. I dragged the icon to the toolbar, and when I hit it, they become active.

Aura of Courage, Protective Aura and War Glory are the auras Saul has, aside from the Natural Leader thing.
PS: The Natural Leader icon isn't draggeable from my character sheet to my toolbars, so it's not like I can try (re)activate it or something.

Try resting when you leave nexus.

I still have the feeling some auras towards people in party don't work. Not even after resting.
Perhaps a DM to check it out together with my toon?
He also now has (or should have) his level 10 Morninglord for the 5th permanent aura.

After some help from other players willing to test, these careful conclusions for each of the 5 aura’s Saul has.


Aura 1 : Natural leader

-After logging and/or Nexus -> doesn't work
-Dragging icon from character sheet to icon bar -> not possible
-Reactivating it somehow -> not possible, nor after resting
-Effect on other toons in party : should give +1 on hits -> doesn't work !
-Icons next to portraits -> none showing on allies. Note : This feat used to work in the past, showing a little sword icon on the nearby ally. Without leveling for a long time, it just one day wasn't there anymore, like it had ceased to work.


Aura 2 : Aura of Courage

-After logging and/or Nexus -> doesn't work
-Dragging icon from character sheet to icon bar -> that works
-Reactivating it somehow -> works and remains active until logging
-Effect on other toons in party : should give +4 on saving vs fear -> seems to work? (see also Lathander's Grace)
-Icons next to portraits -> yes, though it tells no details on the ally’s sheet


Aura 3 : War Glory

-After logging and/or Nexus -> doesn't work
-Dragging icon from character sheet to icon bar -> that works
-Reactivating it somehow -> works and remains active until logging
-Effect on other toons in party : should give +1 on hits -> doesn’t work !
(Although we must mention that the allied toon had 13 attack bonus. Once Saul was close, her sheet told it gone up to 14 and only after she unequipped and requipped her weapon. But... in her effective combat rolls it always remained 13 regardless anything. So conclusion, the +1 to hit does not work)
-Effect on enemies : should give -1 on saving throws -> that side of the feat surprisingly seems to work!
-Icons next to portraits -> partially, only the effect on enemies is visible, the enemy getting a red icon about the effect.


Aura 4 : Protective Aura I

-After logging and/or Nexus -> doesn't work
-Dragging icon from character sheet to icon bar -> that works
-Reactivating it somehow -> works and remains active until logging
-Effect on other toons in party : should give +2 on saving throws allies -> hurray, it works!
-Icons next to portraits -> yep!


Aura 5 : Lathander’s Grace :

-After logging and/or Nexus -> I don’t think it works
-Dragging icon from character sheet to icon bar -> not possible, just like with ‘Natural Leader’
-Reactivating it somehow -> not possible, nor after resting, yet no proof. There’s just not anything showing in the sheet that changed ever since he reached the level 10 Morninglord
-Effect on Saul : still need to find someone to cast a death spell on him, not sure yet.
-Effect on other toons in party : should give +4 on saving throws allies vs death effects -> we got no idea if it works, the icon showing on the allies could be the same icon as the one used with the one of ‘Aura of Courage’ -> Still to test further with throwing death effects on nearby allies.
-Icons next to portraits -> not sure if the icon showing on the nearby ally is that for the ‘Aura of Courage’, or for the ‘Lathander’s Grace’, or resembles both these aura’s...

*pokes*

Anyone any thoughts on this? I'm open to help and test/show.

I don't have natural leader. But some of Freya's auras don't work when logging in either. And that is:

-Bodyguard-Auras
-Aasimat Auras

I have to rest to make them work, which can be bad wth the long non-resting times on higher levels.

It would be nice if someone could answer this.

Try leaving nexus then logging off and back on, it's inconvenient but a Nexus overhaul is in the works so that will have to do for now.
