My team does a lot of multiplayer and we had seen this before - in oddly the same circumstances.

I was above the target (Advantage) using a crossbow to attack them. Got a critical miss - no re-roll shown. I suspect for some reason Advantage and Lucky are cancelling each other out.

Attack Roll 1(Critical)(1D20, Advantage) + 2 (Archery Bonus) + 2 (Proficiency) + 4 (Dexterity Modifier) = 9 This was against an 8 AC.

Given Advantage and "Lucky" racial - an actual miss should be almost impossible here since you would have to roll four 1's in a row.

I would encourage you guys to make sure as much info is shown in the combat logs. a lot of us do look through them to make sure the outcomes are correct.

Thanks, Love the game. Please finish soon.

Nobody cares about the plight of halflings..sigh...

Edit: As it turns out I was wrong about one thing. According to the PHB the Lucky Racial would only allow 1 re-roll of a die - so in this case you would have to roll three 1's - to get a critical miss if you had advantage and Lucky.

I don't think the Larian devs tend to really comment on these reports, but I'm sure that they *read* them.

I'd suggest you make a bug report using Larian's support wepage. I've received replies on all the bugs I've sent in that way.

Well I was more referencing the fact that Halflings released with the EA and this is the first report of the Lucky racial not working.

If they were Dragonborn I am sure someone would have noticed. Halflings I think are the least popular race.

Sent in a bug report, raze said its a known issue that will be addressed in a future update.

Resolved.

Trust me, it's not the first report of Lucky not working right, it's a topic that's been chewed over a few times since I've been here, and I and I'm sure many others have submitted their reports on it to Larian directly.

Also, I may have a personal bias, but take heart in knowing that a lot of folks care about proper justice and fair treatment for halflings. There's a very comprehensive thread that deals with many of the problems plaguing the race currently, and the reasons why they cannot simply inherit the same poses and animations as medium sized creatures, etc., not to mention the problems with their physical design currently. (It's Here)

Folks care - it's just that that majority of their troubles were discussed in the early days, at great length and detail, and we've said as much as can be said... it was one of the most unanimously agreed-upon threads around in terms of volume of comments for versus comments in dissent... but we're waiting still to see results.

No it hasn't, I searched the entire forum for posts on it. Unless nobody knows how to spell "Lucky" or ""Halfling".

But ya know, feel free to link it.

I admit : I haven't paid too much attention to Halflings personally. I plan to play one, maybe, perhaps, I don't know. Partly because I opened a PHB last summer and saw that Halflings were no longer forbidden to be Paladins (and in fact there was no more restrictions on race-class combinations). So that was one obvious character designed (then again, I have several in mind, so it's not clear I'll play that one). Also because it would be my only DnD-Good character, and I'm debating who I should use for my first playthrough, especially if I only do one or two. Paladin isn't exactly my favourite class.

But I've nevertheless rested peacefully, safe in the knowledge that others were looking up the problems with Halflings and reporting on them.

I would have said I don't know if what is shown in the log truly allows us to conclude that there is a bug with Lucky. That being said, if you received a reply saying it was a known bug, then it was indeed a bug.

As for whether this particular Halfling-related bug was reported on, I found this, this, this, this, and that. The key is to search for "+lucky +halfling" with the Advanced Forum Search.

I concede that my search skills are subpar. Thank you for that.
