Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Confirm Bully Works w/Bow & Spell-Based Slow?

Hello and thanks for reading.

I have a ranger-type with the Bully talent, which should apply 50% damage to foes that are slowed, crippled or knocked down.

I'm trying to confirm that it is working when my mage applies slow via Midnight Oil. This is hard to do, since the game doesn't provide detailed combat calculations.

For example:
- My bow does 18-30 damage.
- I have 2 points in the Bow skill, adding 20% damage
- I have Ranged Power Stance, adding 25% damage
- On a slowed foe, Bully should add 50% damage

While playing tonight, my ranger hit a definitely slowed (via Midnight Oil cast by my mage) armored skeleton for 34 damage total, according to the combat log -- 21 actual piercing damage and 13 that was absorbed (again, 34 total).

Let's say his bow did the minimum on that shot, which would be base damage 18. The 20% from the Bow skill would be +3.6 damage. 25% from the Ranged Power Stance would be +4.5. 50% from Bully would be +9. (And this is assuming none of the bonuses are cumulative...everything is calculated off the base bow damage.) So, let's add this up: 18 (base) + 3.6 (Bow skill) + 4.5 (Ranged Power Stance) + 9 (Bully) = 39.6.

Alright, so how did he only do 34 total when the minimum should have been at least 38 or 39 (and this is assuming the game rounds down)?

Am I missing something?

Thanks for your time and feedback,

Geezer
