Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Help/Tips/Tricks Light Stepper Question

Just a quick question. Does the Light Stepper talent add +2 to your BASE perception or to your Modified perception?

If I had a perception of 6 (5 +1 from gear) would light stepper give me 8 or 7 perception for finding traps / secrets?

Thanks!

? isn't it the same thing? as per talent description, it's +2 in detecting traps and secrets. in your example, without gear, 7, with gear 8...

Light Stepper increases your perception by 2 for finding traps and secrets and the increase works with other increases from gear. Once you find a certain NPC you can make better use of that talent point though.
