Talk:Warding Flare

Bugged as of 4.1.1.6335448

Warding flare is bugged. With 22 AC, enemy rolls 20 -> popup appears, but it's useless since it will miss anyway; enemy rolls 24 -> popup does not appear, attack hits and it wasn't rolled with disadvantage (check logs). Happens with or without karmic dice, also doesn't work even if "ask" reaction is unset (i.e. same behavior as if it was set, triggers if enemy rolls lower than AC, doesn't trigger if enemy rolls higher). 185.16.39.144 01:13, 6 April 2025 (CEST)

Did you happen to be testing this reaction by attacking a companion or ally? Doing so messes with the logic in determining whether the reaction should trigger. I have not noticed any issue when used against attacks from actual enemies. NtCarlson (talk) 01:23, 6 April 2025 (CEST)

Oh yeah you're right, https://imgur.com/a/ADWTcNL

I'll remove the "bug" from the Page. Thanks!

I wonder if Defensive Duellist works though, I vaguely remember it had the same behavior as the "bug" I had here. 185.16.39.144 01:56, 6 April 2025 (CEST)

No worries! Yeah this issue exists with all these defensive reactions when used by the party against attacks by the party. This includes Defensive Duellist, Cutting Words, Shield, etc.

It's definitely caused me issues when testing them as well. NtCarlson (talk) 02:30, 6 April 2025 (CEST)
