Explorer's Belt not working

[Iroh]

The Explorer's Belt from the preorder bonus is not giving the stated +Constitution bonus. The Cloak of Resistance seems to be working, but the belt literally does nothing which is a shame cuz that bonus would be handy early on

Yep same here. It was my first enhancement item, so I even thought enhancement bonuses might be working differently in this game. Nope, the belt is bugged.

However, when leveling up and wearing the belt, my character's Constitution was shown as 2 higher than normal. Not after level up, though. So the bug is weird this way.

There are so mnay posts in this forum right now I'm afraid they wont see it so....bump :P

It seems that magical items that boost abilities don't actually do anything *until* you rest. I guess an interpretation of the PnP rule that any boosts to abilities are temporary unless active for 24+ hours.

I was wondering why it didn't look like it worked the first day. I guess that's kind of like attunement in D&D. Does this game have some sort of rules page somewhere that explains all of this?

I think some of the PnP rules really don't translate well to a video game lol. But thanks for the info, I'll try resting I guess lol

Yeah, I'm not even sure why it does it in this case. +2 temp con should still give you HPs, otherwise bear's endurance would be useless. In PnP, it's more for bonus spells for casters, and to qualify for feats.

Indeed, makes no sense for a permanent bonus. If I equip a new piece of gear I want the bonuses when i do that, it's weird. Not that big of a deal, but with nothing saying that will happen it's just an odd design choice....but I'm noticing a lot of those unfortunately

Yep I have the bug too.

...

Sleep you say?

Well that's so unclear!
That should really be made clear on the char screen.. maybe an area with 'item bonuses to apply after next rest' or w/e but we should be able to figure this out easily from the character screen.

Actually, it seems fine now. Never got a chance to see if the resting would work. I logged back in and it was fine. So maybe just try relogging? I dunno, worked for me

Sometimes it seems bonus don't show, a save/reload sorts out the issue

Sleeping did not make my belt work. :(
