Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General FarOutMan doesn't effect Shocking/Petrifying touch

Any chance this can be fixed? Its kind of misleading when the talent says it increases the range of spells and scrolls by 2 meters. In fact, I noticed a lot of close range spells aren't affected by this, kinda makes the talent a lot worse when it doesn't increase the range of such spells to be honest.

I'm not sure how far the range of the spells mentioned is. Far Out Man also does not influence Decaying for example, which has about 2 metres range and stays at it. Maybe some short range spells do not count as spells or are handled differently because otherwise it would be too strong?

I would've expected it to only affect ranged spells: correctly or otherwise, my assumption would be that spells requiring touch would remain unaffected otherwise it's effectively turning them into ranged spells too.

Touch range and melee skills are indeed excluded, and the tooltip description in the development version explicitly states that.

Cool that was something I was finding strange in the first one.
