on-hit..well not really

Post by Donan »

There are a few weapons in the game that have an on-hit stat. I noticed that doesn’t happen on every hit, vampire regen, str drain, etc. I tried to find some consistency but it seems totally random, some rounds it will show every hit then suddenly nothing for 10 rounds.

Anyone else notice this?

yeah, the lag hammer is the only thing that continuously spits out an almost every hit lightning bolt. other than that most of the on-hit stuff is when it feels like it.

I believe these items only use their abilities a certain percent of the time, and then often there's a save aganst the ability.

Some weapons specify 10% hold dc-20 but if you look at say blade of unknown evil it says on-hit there is no percentage amount, i think it says on hit str drain dc-18

same with piranha tooth has vampire regen on hit but sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt

Drain stat is one per hit if save fails.

It and most other on hits are engine and have a heaping, steaming pile of various bugs. Luckily on hit unique looks good to do something with, we could do everything with it except trap the attack roll or crits.
