Feral Combat Training doesn't work with Gore attack

Open JamesKrolak opened this issue 11 months ago • 5 comments

I hate to complain more about one of the more complex options you've added in this mod, but here goes:

I'm using another mod that has the White Haired Witch archetype. It gives the Hair attack as a Gore attack. I took a level of Monk and took Weapon Focus (Gore) and Feral Combat Training, but it's not allowing Flurry with the Hair attack. If I do a regular unarmed attack, Flurry works fine. It also shows the unarmed attack details as having 2 attacks. If I only attack with the Hair attack, though, it only gives 1 attack. Not sure if this is because that other mod implements it as a special attack. Or is there some way in game to have it attack with ONLY natural attacks and not use unarmed attack?

It looks like it'll work just fine with something that replaces your hands with claws like the Witch Hex "Nails." If I have the claws from that and Feral Combat Training, it shows my main hand getting 2 attacks and my off hand getting 1 attack.

The patch for this changes all event checks for unarmed attack to return true if it is any natural attack. This works very well. But there are a lot of misconceptions on how features should work with the feat as written. The game handles natural attacks not correctly in the first place. But the rules as written also suck in that regard. So... Idk if I want to change anything here.

Totally understandable. This gets rather complicated and you're having to deal with how Owlcat coded that stuff to work in the first place.

I've come here looking exactly for this. It would be really cool if it actually interacted with other natural attacks instead of main hand only (I'm trying to make a white haired witch run, and was really excited to see this working)

I ran my WHW build for a ways through the game and even without this feat, Flurry will let you get in your unarmed attacks in addition to the "gore" attack from WHW. Plus, it seems that it gives you your full reach with all natural attacks and not just your gore attack. So, the whole archetype still kinda works--though not the way it's truly intended.
