Yes I did get a +2 STR bonus, but I got that either way. I dont craft that much either just a new weapon for my fighter every level, and try to improve the armor whenever I find a better suit, this is recent to this playthrough- I have garnered such lousy loot this time, I had to try something else. Mostly it has been good, damage improving every level, until now.

I find the inconsistency disconcerting.

Sorry, I havent modded anything so dont know if it has an effecft or not, I actually did not think being modded would matter. I didnt know you were gonna try it with a cheated character.

Can a tormented soul affect damage, I did not add one this time? I thought it would only add the +2 to STR and Dex as always, and I am fresh out of them at the moment.
