Fix defensive stance

Unread post by mrm3ntalist »

Many new custom abilities such as shield slam, cancel the mode. I think this should be fixed especially since Defensive stance is the signature ability of Dwarven Defenders. MAybe re-implement DS as a custom feat?

Around 5:30 you can see shield slam canceling the defensive stance



BTW no umd needed

Just reading both ability description, it seems that shield slam in melee range shouldn't end Defensive stance, while when used as charge action, should (since defensive stance means being immobile).

Dragged to QC forums. Any more abilities that you consider should work with DS without breaking it, but currently breaking them?

I havent tested all the feats since I have not touched this build for over 2 years. Basically any feat that requires the DD to move therefore exit his stance should cancel it anything else should not. I have a feeling that all custom feats will cancel DS - known issue with custom feats - and that is why i suggested for the DS to be re-implemented again as a custom feat and customize it any way you like

Its a shame for the stance to not work properly since it is the DD signature feat
