Trying to make a paladin/druid work with flame blade and I noticed the following inconsistencies:
I am thoroughly confused by how this ability is exactly coded.
Is it a weapon attack or a melee spell attack?
- weapon swing doesn't trigger ring of elemental infusion
- ring of elemental infusion doesn't add damage on weapon swing
- Minthara soul branding is permanent and doesn't get consumed
- When casting a smite spell like thunderous smite: ring of power infusion triggers fire infusion instead of thunder infusion (probably because fire is the first damage types that gets triggered)
- No attack roll modifiers like (duelling gloves even though the UI indicates it as a positive when attacking) get added
- sacred weapon doesnt work (no charisma modifier gets added)
- strange conduits ring does work (specified as weapon attack)
- hunters mark doesn't work
- magic weapon doesn't work
- enlarged does work and does +1d4 fire damage
- caustic band works (weapon attacks)
- cruscation ring doesnt work (spell damage)
- broodmothers revenge does work (poison weapon coating)
- other poison cant coat flame blade
- I can coat arsonist oil /wizards bane but it has no effect
Let me know if any other interactions need to be reviewed.
Flame blade doesn't seem very consistent at the moment.
On a side note, wizards cant learn flame blade from a scroll which is kind of shame. But maybe that's intentional?
