Paladin bonus (spoilers) Cera Sumat

Post by Klorox »

I just picked up the Holy Avenger. I was under the impression that Paladin's get some kind of stat bonus when you get this thing, but I think my game is bugged. I've got two paladins in the party, and neither got any bonus to stats.

What is the stat bonus supposed to be?

Do all Paladins get it, or just the one holding the Avenger?

Is it a permanent bonus, or just when holding the Holy Avenger?

TIA

I believe that it is a quest bonus (like the bane quest). A permanent bonus to wisdom and charisma. I think +1 and +2. Experiment with trying to trigger that bonus actuating. Maybe it has! Check your character sheet or maybe you have to talk to someone or do something (I don't have information on what would trigger :( )

I have had some tries with the Bane quest bonus where I did not get it for some reason. I think my character screwed up the dialogue when talking to the evil priest. Perhaps there is a dialogue or some such (where you need Pally levels at that point) that sets something in motion (a variable) that leads to getting your bonus stats.

If all else fails confirm what the bonus should be and give yourself that bonus with dalekeeper2.

It's a permanent bonus based on completing the Lost Followers quest; it's not based on wielding Cera Sumat. All paladins in the party, if you have more than one, get the bonus. I believe the bonus is +1 Str and +1 Wis. Are you sure you didn't get it?

There's no dialogue involved. The only game indication that something has happened is one line in the feedback window ("the paladins in your party blah blah strength and vitality" is all that I remember of it). It's similar to the Dreadmaster quest, where you get the "Bane is pleased" line to denote the +2 Wis gain.
