Athkatlan Triparate, slashing weapons?

[Gorirah]

A +4 slashing weapon will give +4 slashing damage, and Athkatlan Triparate adds its damage bonus as slashing also. Given the issue with only the higher instance of each damage type being applied, I assume the feat is bugged when using magical slashing weapons or any other weapon that has a bonus to slashing damage.

Having tested it, it seems to be the case that my sleashing weapons receive no damage bonus from the feat, while my bludgeoning weapons do. Is this a bug or just something that we need to learn to live with?

I believe it's supposed to do damage of a type different than the weapon type. Can you try with blunt and Piercing to see if the same bug occurs?

It works for me as advertised with +4 kukri which is damage type slashing, but at times it does not seem to work for the offhand weapon.

Apologies, as I may just need more coffee, but to clarify are you saying your +4 Kukri does a damage type of blunt or piercing, not slashing so that Athkatlan Triparite mode will add the appropriate damage to your attacks?

but at times it does not seem to work for the offhand weapon.

I'm confused by this... AT reduces your APR to 3, so to be clear are you saying with 2 APR and ITWF that your 2 main hand attacks work as advertised, but something seems to not work in your offhand weapon for that 1 attack? If so, can you advise if you are using the same damage type weapon or a different type in the offhand?

Thanks!

A +4 Kukri is giving a +4 Enhancement bonus to damage. That shouldn't interfere with a +4 Slashing Damage from a feat, unless that damage is also flagged as an enhancement bonus.

the main hand attacks are always the one's lost. This applies to Northlander Hewing, Athkatlan Triparite, and Sembian Fencing (I don't think there are any other feats that reduce attacks, but I believe this applies across the board).

So we are on the same page instead of me tryng to reword. ^This^ Athkatlan Triparite does seem to add the damage to the main hand while using a slashing weapon.

Ah, so yeah, lack of coffee makes such things forgotten in the cloud of just woke up... This may be something I just need to test in game with a QC build so I can see what is working correctly and what is not. Won't be difficult, and I do have some time later if the server issue resolves itself. I'll take a look at it and poke the devs. thanks again,

I just tested it using two long swords on my ranger, and the +4 damage was being applied to both the main and off hand.

Mainhand 1d8+8+4 (+4 from AT) = max damage 20 without AT. Hit a non-favored enemy for 24.

Offhand 1d8+4+4 (+4 from AT) = max damage 16 without AT. Hit a non-favored enemy for 18.

Seems to be working with me.

It seems to apply as slashing damage regardless of weapon type.

That was with longswords that bear enhancement bonus?

Seems I was mistaken. A considerate Troll sat still while I tested agan and it is being applied to a single slashing weapon, even though it is listed as two +4 slashing damages on the character sheet.

A yes, the character sheet is tricksy and it has struck again... Character sheet lies so when it says something odd, testing is required by monitoring the combat log over a period of time so you can extract what is actually occurring. It's super awesome, I know, but it's what we got. Cheers, let us know if any further issues.

never trust the character sheet. it tends to throw out random numbers onequip and onunequip

Does Athkatlan Triparite work with ranged weapons?

Cheers!
