Eye for an Eye shortbow not working/bugged

[BoriSama]

In the description it says:

"Whenever this +3 composite shortbow land a hit on an enemy, the enemy suffers an additional 1d12 piercing damage"

Basically it's saying the shortbow damage = 1d6+1d12. But, that 1d12 damage is not happening...

yeah same - although the character damage stat makes it even more confusing. I have Lann equipped with eye for an eye and his damage text says 2d6 + 10 - which is what happens in combat - so the 1d12 is missing, but where does the second d6 come from?

moreover - in my +10 bonus damage it lists +5 from strength and +3 from enhancement - so how does that add up to 10?

Then on arushalae who has a plain +3 composite, which is supposedly 1d8 base - her damage stat text also has 2d6 as the base stat, not 1d8.

It just seems like so much of the item text is simply not implemented as written

This isn't an item text problem as such. Eye for an Eye just seems to have its damage packet separate. You'll see two numbers iirc. The 2d6 is from Lann's zen archery - he replaces the bow's damage dice with his unarmed strike damage.

Lann also gets Weapon Specialization for free for +2 damage

Does she have a size bonus active like Hurricane Bow? That will upgrade a 1d8 to a 2d6.

Item text can't account for class features.

thanks Nephi - that explains all the other stuff - but not the missing 1d12. I only have the one damage "packet" when Lann hits with eye for an eye and it's only 2d6+10

Ah. It's very possible the recent patch has broken the weapon then. I've barely had any combat with patch 7c before getting stuck by other bugs.

Well, thank God I am not the only one. Hope they fix this soon. Plus 1d12 in every hit really is something and I could use this damage right now.

It still doesn't work(

[forkofspite]

I never remember it working, however even if it does, it would be less effective than you'd expect (unless you have something that converts all of your damage to something else). The game applies DR separately for each damage source. Furthermore, I don't think clustered shots would work for it.

The 2d6 base damage for Lann requires 12 levels of monk (and less than 16). If he's not within that range, it's either a bug or something else. I doubt a level 12 Lann would still be using that bow, but maybe??

Note to self - try to remember to look at the date of the post prior to the most recent one. :)
