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

No, it doesn't. You land a regular RTA spell attack, but no sneak damage is added. Tested on 28.01.2021

Uncanny dodge and improved uncanny dodge together do only protect from flank sneak attacks, but not hips/invisibility sneak attacks. Tested on 29.01.2021, big thanks to Nathaniel for helping with it.

It doesn't. You are capped at 3 bashes/round.
Though, instead of 5 total feats needed to take as other class, you can get more shield bashes from ITWF and GTWF as ranger. (up to maximum 3). Tested on 28.02.2021

It does. However, i wouldn't recommend anyone to take arterial strike as it is atm. See why:
1. As soon as it uses dummy character to apply, it means you don't see how many damage it deals (you can still see it from enemy HP bar decreasing).
2. As soon as your dummy is removed, if enemy is killed by arterial strike, you won't get XP.

When you shift into dragon first time, a small button box will appear in top-left corner of your screen. You can drag it whenever you like and click those buttons for dragon skills (this also applies to Shifter class that is not available to players yet).

1. It's cavestalker 7 that gives bonus feat and no, you can only choose from natural spell and a bunch of favored enemies.Tested with ranger 14/Cavestalker 7.
2. With ranger 20/cavestalker 10, there were no signs of magical beast available to cavestalker. With druid, however, it's available, but not as bonus feat. Cavestalker still gets favored enemies as his bonus feats (and natural spell). Though, you can get epic shape feats on cavestalker levels, so they are not gated behind druid levelup (which means, you still have to meet the requirements, but it doesn't necessarily need you to pick druid to grab em, contrary to those epic spells which can only be taken on spellcaster class levelup).
3. According to my today test, ranger 20/cavestalker 10 had 3 bonuc AC while being in farmlands. Other feats that directly say about "in natural underground environment" didn't provide their bonuses. Upon entering cave (Bandit cave in northern farmlands as test area), those feats started working.

It does, both apply correctly. While in wildshape, druid can apply greater magic fang, but nor Nature's avatar on themself (with natural spell).
Greater magic fang does also work on epic elemental shapes even through they are not animals, technically.

Pc retains all the AC, not just DEX one. Added that to notes on wiki.
13.06.2021

Taunt reduces dodge ac, thus it's useless for PCs who rely on sneak attacks, because flat-footed state, in fact, ignores dodge AC completely, so if PC goes from 0 to -2 dodge AC, it's not accounted and you don't get better hit chance.
13.06.2021

It does.
14.06.2021

It doesn't.
15.06.2021

Well, virtually, it does since hunter can still see his/her spellslots, but they are unable to cast spells, so the overall answer is no.
15.06.2021

Yes, it's true. Managed to get it on Cavestalker 3.
15.06.2021

It doesn't. As it's mentioned in Enlarge Person wiki page, it doesn't actually increase the PC size for game mechanics, it's only model size increase. Your PC is still treated like medium (or other size, depending on your PC race).
15.06.2021

Sorry, but QC team doesn't have separate interface or means to split your damages by type. We only have access to get/withdraw xp, an access to a pool of basic gear and that's quite all. So, without Devs, i cannot help you on that.
15.06.2021

It doesn't, same as Assassin doesn't qualify for spellcasting PrCs. They both have a workaround to have spells, but not real spellbook.
15.06.2021

They don't. You must have hard 12 druid levels for it.
15.06.2021

Well, they do! In fact, you only can grab dragon companion on druid level, but it's totally possible to be (E.G., not real class spread since i didn't recollect it) druid 3/cavestalker 10/ hierophant 9. You grab epic animal companion on lvl 21, then you get to druid 4 (lvl 23 in total) and get dragon companion.

Those are several questions i picked from discord.
1) Does Cavalier get his FE dmg progression from Cavestalker and Harper Scout
2) Does Cavalier get his FE dmg progression from Ranger?

The answer is short: no. Cavalier is 5/7 FE progression (compared ranger) and Cavestalker, Harper Scout, Ranger don't progress it. You will have +5 dmg with your FEs as Cavalier.

As i was asked to check which version is correct (never check forum threads from 2015 for the correct info unless somebody explicitly states it's correct, btw. Use wiki!).
Melee weapon master doesn't require anything aside of being fighter 12, just as it's advertised in game. I edited wiki page on it to reflect real information.
17.06.2021

While i wasn't able to understand it myself from testing, i asked skilled warslingers and they told me that wiki description is correct. I've already marked ingame description to be corrected in future, so thanks for finding inconsistency! We'll get rid of them sooner or later
You don't lose your attack, it's just that one of your attacks can bounce and hit more enemies.
17.06.2021

While it makes low sense from class description, ranged precision does actually work with bows, xbows, slings and thrown axes. Sharp-shooting feat works too.
Looking into PC sheet for that extra damage, i noticed that it persisted in sheet was longer with bow, than with xbow and others, so i can't be sure all the attacks in round for xbow, sling,throwing axes are affected. Since dmg is quite random thing, it's hard to tell if bonus is applied or not from them.

You can't inscribe runes with anyspell/greater anyspells, but it seems like an oversight rather than intended since i get "bad strref" in combat log anytime i try to do it.
22.06.2021

I didn't find way to cast those spells with greater anyspell. If you advise me how you did it, i will test it
22.06.2021

Contrary to what wiki says, it doesn't. Tested with lvl 4 cleric vs SR 32 QC PC.
27.06.2021

It's a bit tricky to test such things (Because whether it's 15d6 or 18d6 average, hard to tell from rolls), but, after raiding BG graveyard for some time, i believe, that blast infidel and it's opposite don't affect Profane corruption and it's opposite.

Duelward spell allows for single Counterspelling attempt against any enemy that casts spells. What does it mean? Once you've casted duelward and you don't have counterspelling feats, you don't need to target specific mob and turn on counterspelling, it will be done automatically for the first mob to cast spell (keep in mind, you still can't do anything aside from walking in that round in order for it to trigger. Counterspelling limitations still apply).
Basically, this spell simply eliminates the need to target enemy and use counterspell feat on it, but only for single spell. After you tried to counterspell something, duelward ends. Honestly, i feel it should be improved with allowing for infinite counterspells since it doesn't give what epic counterspelling gives (counterspelling regardless of what you do). In my mind, allowing it to remove the need to do target/counterspell on dance on every enemy for it's duration is quite balanced since PC still has to use lvl 5/6 spellslot AND their dispels for counterspelling.

As of OOBI, i got a PC who normally deals 12-24 dmg without any damage bonuses. I went to hunt trolls (Bard/OoBI/AA/EA, 7 APR). Things i noticed:
1) Ranged precision seems to kick into action about 1 second after attack is queued. Which means, if one is close enough to starts shooting immediately, first 1-2-3 hits don't get the bonus damage. And, funnily enough, it actually kicks in even if you have automanishot that also kicks in in same manner. If you are in shooting range, you will produce normal attack, but if there is a delay between your command to attack and actual attack happening (enemy outside shooting range), then both manyshot and ranged precision kick in.
2) Ranged precision turns off about 1 second after it's applied, which usually means attack 5-7 don't get it's bonus too.
2) Basically, when you shoot enemy immediately, you don't get ranged precision on attacks 1-2, then on attacks 5-7. You can get even less of them if you fight in melee range since ranged precision activation is not round-based, so mobs attacking you between your attacks can break timings.
3) Yeah, i believe, OoBI could have a revisit since it's current mechanics are really wonky.
Manyshot is, sadly, hardcoded, so it's not much can be done to it. I believe it totally can cause wonky behavior, especially >manyshot on trigger.
17.07.2021

It totally does work. Just mind the range since sneak attack is roughly 20-30 feet only before it stops triggering. (i honestly don't remember exact numbers).
17.07.2021

It works similar to pommel strike etc, so it's not like EW or Blinding strike. You activate it on target while in sneak (should be really close to it). It then produces PC copy. It's a full round action, so, honestly, it's quite useless. Maybe, if it was 3 round long, that could serve some use, but you basically waste your round to deliver 1 attack in order slow enemy for 1 round...
17.07.2021

From my testing, it's is 25. Makes sense cause BG only accounts non-caster levels while practiced spellcaster does "virtually" add more caster levels inside non-caster ones. So you have 10 CL from blackguard, 10 more of DS (6 + 4 PS) + 5 from non-caster classes.
