I was playing around with fighter perks in the start area today, found that Self-Taught is immensely bugged.
Level 1: -5 Concentration, -5 Discipline
Level 5: +1 AB
Level 8: +1 Dodge AC
/c fighter_perk Random [-2 - +3] attack decrease/bonus and [-2 - +3] AC decrease/bonus. Lasts 1 turn.
The above is what the perk is supposed to do.
After resting, resetting perk and transitioning I did not receive the -5 to skills and the active power after 50 or so tests does NOT EVER give negatives to AB and AC it will either roll 0, +2 or+ 3 to AB and AC. It also never rolls a +1
TL;DR : Perk much stronger than intended because it does not work as intended.
Please double check that the -5/-5 is not applying. I tested it and it seems to work.
The other part is being looked at and will be adjusted, hopefully in the not too distant future.
After reset the test PC's skills have indeed been hit with the -5 so I redact the skills not being correct.
Had to wait until I got home to check, but my skills have the appropriate minuses.
I've tried the fighter_perk a few times and I haven't gotten a negative roll yet, but resting times is making testing hard.
I have recently tested this perk again and it still does not let you roll negative values on your AB or AC it will only register as 0 bonus instead of negative, but now its bonus can go as high as +4 ac +4 ab (Albeit rarely).
Perhaps it is time Self Taught went the way of the Arcane Mimic.
Should possibly be fixed.
