Subrace Problem

[Lilia]

I took the subrace Saban, it states it gives Power Attack as a bonus feat. However when I level up, it is still showing as an available feat and I cant progress to Cleave.

Feats added by skins are not counted by the engine as a valid feat. This is a built-in limitation of the Bioware engine.

My group just ran into the same problem. The stat change is cool, but kinda burned 2 characters at creation because of it, lol! Isn't Beamdog in the works of updating the race creation buttons? So it would count?

It all depends on how they do the implementation. If it requires client side 2da changes, I wont be touching it.

Looks like it will. Nice feature though.

I wonder if CEP or similar will start making use of it, with the change to the Documents folder for clientside changes and the Steam Workshop it's certainly a lot more straightforward than it used to be.

Currently it's pretty much never worth taking subraces. It's a bit misleading and perhaps the subtext of the explanation dialogue should explain that these bonuses/penalties are applied as if they were item/spell effects and not inherent changes to your character sheet.

You have to have haks to make proper subraces. I have changed the text to point this out.

Right, which is understandable. Thanks for clarifying that on the subrace menu -- I could see people taking them for RP reasons, but it's nice that they'll have a heads up on the mechanics now.
