BUG(?): improved initiative

Post by Tyler »

My sourcerer has improved initiative.
So shouldn't he cast spell faster than a wizard without imp. ini. ?

The in-game information says:

... the casting time for all spells is reduced by one to a minimum of 1.

so I tested it with fireball (casting time = 3)

now my sourcerer should cast it faster (c. t. = 2)

than the wizard (c. t. = 3).

but both need the same time to cast the spell.

Has anyone else tested it?

I need help, because I'd love it to cast my spells faster.

I've heard from two sources that the feat doesn't work at all.

Half of mine did when I found out about that.. luckily I was level 3, so I just started over ;) One feat isn't so much of a loss anyway ^_^

My 4 guys are all lvl 10+, hehe :) Too late. But you're right, it's not that much of a drawback, let's say it makes the game more challenging :)

It is not fixed. I tested it after patching the game!
sad but true.
