Martyr Paladin - Broken Mechanics

[Wadegundam]

I have reported this bug probably 8-10 times using the report bug in game but I have yet to see it populated on a list to be fixed or anyone from owl-cat respond to me about it. I am throwing this out to see if anyone else is having the same issue and can replicate the issue I am having.

The Paladin Martyr class arch-types gives up a lot of it's immunities for conditional aura buffs and making those auras work better (20 instead of 10 feet). As far as I can tell, those auras and buffs flat out do not work. So far I have successfully confirmed the following features in my game for the Martyr paladin does not work: See no Evil, Hear no Evil | Aura of Resolve | Martyr's Mercy | Aura of Health | Aura of Courage. None of these features on the Martyr paladin are working correctly. I tested and reported several times that the bonuses from the auras are not being granted in the in game menu using the "Alt +B" button. In addition, I cannot use Martyr's Mercy to switch out my mercies to heal status effects. Has anyone else tested these issues or seen the same thing in game?

I have suffered several times in combat because of specifically "See no Evil, Hear no Evil" which is suppose to give +4 bonus against sonic attacks and it is not working (specifically with the "Drone" ability that causes confusion as it is labeled in it's effects as Sonic) and continually missing the DC for most diseases by 4 or less on nearly every save my party has to make. I continue to play the Martyr regardless because I love the paladin with the bardic performance but the other mechanics that make the Martyr so powerful are just not working right.

Am I the only one here who has noticed the subclass Martyr Paladin is just not working correctly?

I think you're right. I used a Martyr for a while in my first run and suspected that those things weren't working, but didn't dig into it because I ditched her for another character anyway.

Also, add to the list that Martyr gets Mark of Justice, but cannot use it because they don't have any Smite Evil charges (and I tested multiclassing for Smite Chaos... that doesn't work either). Mark of justice should just have a red x through it and Martyrs just shouldn't get it at all.

I'm not surprised that it's so buggy because many classes/archetypes are still extremely buggy and they're not getting fixed very fast.

this should get more attention, what i really dislike about this game is that they introduced a ton of new classes/archetypes which don't work as they should, why don't you test stuff before you release it? it is not very professionel /: love the game but THIS i really don't like because it is such a basic thing, once you realize your main class is bugged u can basically restart the game and choose something else

I agree with you. Some folks want to only lay the blame on an evil publisher.

I am not one of those folks.

They made a decision to essentially make the release of the game a massive beta test. At least for certain portions. I cannot support that as good industry practice.

Good luck. I cannot get them to fix the Brown-fur Transmuter level 20 ability to work after a damn quicksave, save, area load with progress bar.

Since this is the top google result on this..

Everyone complaining here I guess never played the paper version of Pathfinder.

To any future travelers who encounter this thread: This is not an Owlcat bug. It's a Paizo problem that exists in the Pathfinder source material which, last I played, still hasn't been addressed.
