Warmace critical

[Lanzlo]

I think I found a bug with the warmaces, or at least the one I have on Zunasha.

The critical is supposed to be a x3. With Northlander Hewing, I should reach 100 damage with a single critical. However, I'm only getting about 2/3 of that (70). I can provide a crummy screenshot if you want. (Taken on my phone... couldn't get the Printscreen to work properly before my crummy setup had to be rebooted...)

Northlander Hewing bonus damage is not multiplied on a critical hit (that would be OP ). It is an intended feature.

OK, just so that I understand this. NH maximizes the damage rolled. In addition, it provides a 'accuracy' bonus of damage equal to your Strength modifier.

So, right now, I have a +3 darksteel warmace. 1d12 20/x3. 12 points+3 bludgeoning. This is all multiplied.
Strength is 20, so that's a modifier of +5. 1.5x for two hander, that's a +7. That's multiplied.
I'm using Power Attack. That adds +6 to damage. That's multiplied.
I'm a Crusader, with a +1 Divine damage. That's multiplied.
Darksteel gives 1 point of electrical damage. That's NOT multiplied.
Northlander Hewing adds your Strength modifier to damage. That's NOT multiplied.

So, on a normal hit, I'm doing (12+3+7+6+1+1+7=) 35 damage. Which is what I see.

So, that means that on a critical I should be doing 36 (base damage) +9 (enhancement bonus) +21 (strength) +18 (Power Attack) +3 (Crusader) +1 (darksteel) +5 (Northlander hewing) =93. That's still 23 points more than what I saw.

Is my math wrong somewhere? Just wondering.

Not quite. Only 6.5 base weapon damage on average. The 5.5 from NH should not be multiplied here.

The maximization of physical damage is not well made, on a crit, as far as I can tell, it's not maximized (can't be fixed, the function coded by Obsidian simply works like that). So instead of 12*3 it's d12+ d12 +d12 (what is multiplied in nwn2 is the number of dices used, not the result of the dice).

Overall you'll have 3*d12+9 + 21 + 18 +3 +1 + 5 = 57+3d12 ~ 76.5

Vale is da man!



i still cant even count what damage output any of my toon can do. just play them anyway

[Lanzlo]

OK, that's why my math was weird. Thank you.
