This list aims to catalogue passives which do not function as would be expected based on their tooltips, or which have other problems - or missing information - in their description, function, or location. This list is unlikely to be comprehensive as it is likely there are many issues with passives of which we are unaware.
As this list deals with problems that have a high likelihood of being changed in patches and hotfixes, it is likely that entries will be incorrect following an update.
All entries are currently correct as of Hotfix 33.
The saving throw against being Blinded is incorrectly attributed in the combat log against the attacker or the attack which was used, rather than against Absolute Night.
The Bane effect does not activate when the wearer is disguised, even if it is noted in the passive effect UI.
The Bane effect's saving throw does not appear in the combat log, nor do reactions like Portent Dice trigger, even though the passive effect UI indicates there is a saving throw, and the effect sometimes does not trigger (presumably because the enemy succeeds at their saving throw).
Though not stated as such, the passive applies Bane and thus does not stack with itself or other sources of Bane.
Aegis Palms does not apply Death Ward when Revivify is cast on an already dead ally. Casting it on an ally who is downed, but not yet dead, does apply Death Ward.
The version of Death Ward granted by Aegis Palms uniquely is not lost upon being triggered. There is no limit to the number of times it can be triggered during its 2 turn duration.
When revived, the Shadow Possession condition should force the affected character to spend each turn attacking the nearest creature (friend or foe). However, Shadow Possession is instantly removed from the wearer upon leaving the Downed state.
The long rest cooldown restriction on Arcane Battery is per character, rather than per item. As such, Arcane Battery can be used repeatedly by passing the weapon possessing this feature to different characters, activating it once on each.
Arcane Battery is still consumed if active when the character casts a cantrip, despite cantrips not being highlighted in the character's cast bar.
Toggling Arcane Battery highlights some abilities and items that do not consume spell slots, such as Danse Macabre and spell scrolls; these abilities and items activate properly, but are still consumed (along with Arcane Battery) in the process.
Arcane Echomalefaction triggers under many circumstances where it appears it should not, due to hidden technical conditions, such as when a ranged weapon attack misses, when Sanctuary is cast near enemies, or when revealing an invisible enemy with See Invisibility.
Despite the description, the healing effect is not limited to being triggered solely on spells. It will trigger on any attack that includes a saving throw component, such as Lacerate, even if that attack misses and no saving throw was rolled.
Arcane Vehemence triggers even if the wielder is not missing a Level 1 spell slot (or lacks any Level 1 spell slots to begin with), effectively wasting this passive until the next Short Rest.
The maximum damage reduction from Arcane Ward is always 20, even for a level 11 or 12 Abjuration Wizard with 21-24 charges of Arcane Ward.
Despite being an Abjuration spell and consuming a spell slot, Shield does not grant Arcane Ward charges.
Counterspell always restores 3 charges, even if upcast.
Because Arcane Ward is implemented as a condition with a duration, it counts as a condition being applied by the spell cast to charge it. This means that if Metamagic: Extended Spell – which doubles the duration of any condition applied by the spell – is used when casting an Abjuration spell, Arcane Ward's charge count is also doubled. This doubling occurs after the cap equal to twice the wizard's class level is applied, meaning that this can be exploited to gain charges up to four times the class level.
For example, a Sorcerer 2/Wizard 5 with 7 charges of Arcane Ward casting Banishment should be capped at 10 charges, but ends up with 20 charges if Extended Spell is used.
However, when Arcane Ward is overcharged in this way, casting any Abjuration spell that would normally charge it without using Extended Spell forces it to be capped again at twice the wizard's class level.
This can be used with most limited-duration Abjuration spells, such as Banishment, Sanctuary, or Arcane Lock. However, Glyph of Warding: Sleep cannot be used for this purpose, as the warding trap has no duration limit (despite the tooltip describing it as a 4-turn duration).
There is a second bug with Metamagic: Extended Spell, which can be used to acquire infinite Arcane Ward charges, as explained in this Reddit post. To do this, a wizard must have at least 3 charges of Arcane Ward, then if a sorcerer casts a spell which creates a damaging surface or cloud (e.g., Chromatic Orb: Fire, Spike Growth, or Cloudkill) and then toggles Extended Spell, if the wizard takes damage from the spell, each time they take damage, the number of charges decreases by 1 as usual, but then doubles. This is because each time damage is taken, the Arcane Ward condition is reapplied with one fewer charge and the source of the condition is considered the source of the damage taken. This means that Arcane Ward becomes a condition with a duration (because its charges are represented as "turns remaining") applied by a spell cast by a sorcerer currently using Extended Spell, which causes the duration to double.
This bug works whether the spells are cast by the wizard themselves, multiclassed with sorcerer, or by a sorcerer party member.
Surfaces which cause damage immediately, such as Spike Growth, charge Arcane Ward much faster than surfaces which cause damage at the end of each turn, like a Fire surface.
This doubling effect allows a wizard to amass Arcane Ward charges up to 2,147,483,647, the maximum possible value of a 32-bit signed integer, at which point it is sometimes possible to cause an integer overflow by exceeding 2,147,483,647 charges of Arcane Ward and end up with a negative amount of charges.
With negative Arcane Ward charges, the amount of charges no longer changes from taking damage, and the ward acts as though it has 1 charge, negating only 1 damage.
Casting an Abjuration spell resets the ward back to its standard limit.
This bug does not require using surfaces or clouds. Any sorcerer who uses a damaging spell (which can be affected by Extended Spell) on an Abjuration Wizard while Extended Spell is toggled triggers the bug, but anything other than surface or cloud spells is highly inefficient, as it quickly uses up Sorcery Points.
When a wizard has zero Arcane Ward charges, many actions restore as many charges as the character's wizard level, as seen on this Reddit post. Some examples:
Equipping certain items that apply a condition, e.g., Shar's Spear of Evening or Nyrulna. This includes automatically re-equipping these weapons after throwing them.
When a wizard using Arcane Ward attacks a target, and that target reacts by casting the wizard version of the Shield spell, the attacker immediately loses all of their Arcane Ward charges.
The +2 bonus to attack rolls granted by Arming Enhancement also affects spell attacks, Unarmed Strikes, and Throw attacks; however, those attacks do not receive the +2 damage, except for Throw attacks using weapons with the Thrown property.
Artificial Sight does not provide the cone of light one would otherwise get by obtaining the Darkvision effect from a different source, such as a spell or having the passive innately through race. It also allows the wearer to see through magical darkness, despite not stating such in the description.
If you have any remaining temporary hit points from a previous activation of this feature, Dashing will not replenish them back to twice your Barbarian level. You can only gain the temporary hit points again once you've lost all of them.
Despite the tooltip warning, the condition which grants the temporary hit points does not use the "TEMPORARY_HP" StackId and thus may be active on a character in addition to other sources of temporary hit points. In this case, the character will receive the temporary hit points from the highest source, while any lower sources will be used to replenish any lost temporary hit points from the highest source.
This passive lacks the conditional check that would limit its function to actual attacks (e.g. actions that use an attack roll). As such, it will trigger on any action or effect that targets a creature. If the Barbarian themselves is Bleeding or Poisoned, self-affecting actions such as Dash and Aspect of the Beast: Honey Badger will apply the Maimed condition to them.
Due to a coding error, a creature that possesses this passive and starts its turn with less than 3 m (10 ft) Movement Speed will consume more of its movement speed to stand up from the Prone condition than it would have if it did not possess this passive.
It is possible for the Aura of Murder effect to disappear when travelling between the Lower City and Rivington; this can be remedied by toggling the effect off and on in the passives tab of the hotbar.
Due to the way resistances and immunities are handled, enemies resistant to Piercing damage only have their resistance removed (instead of being made vulnerable) by Aura of Murder. This effect does not stack with attacks that bypass piercing resistance, like those made while wearing the Bonespike Gloves.
Battle Acuity triggers multiple times per attack with spells that are considered weapon attacks and include multiple DealDamage functions, such as Booming Blade and the various Smite spells.
The reader is advised that Battlemage's Power appears to have some of the most complex and unintuitive behaviour in the game, making it difficult to distinguish what is actually a bug.
Any damage dealt while wielding a normal, non-permanent Flame Blade in the main hand triggers Battlemage's Power. The damage can be from any source such as weapon attacks, spell damage (including each dart from Magic Missile and each blast from Eldritch Blast), or even damage from status effects like Burning. Battlemage's Power does not trigger if the conjured weapons are in the off-hand, even if attacking with the conjured weapon. This only works with a normal, temporary Flame Blade summoned by the corresponding spell and not with a permanent Flame Blade acquired through hireling exploit. This effect also used to work while wielding a Shadow Blade in the main hand, but this was removed in a hotfix after Patch 8.
Battlemage's Power does not function with the Mephistopheles Tiefling version of Flame Blade, as this version has a different condition applied to it which is not listed in the ArcaneAcuityGlovesCondition() .khn script.
Reaction Smites provide acuity if and only if the triggering attack provided acuity. If the source attack does trigger Battlemage's Power, reaction smite triggers them a second time, for a total of +4 Acuity.
Battlemage's Power is meant to have a OncePerAttack restriction, meaning they should only provide Acuity once per damaging event. However, the OncePerAttack limit gets reset every time the player character performs any effect which targets any in-game entity, whether that entity is an enemy, an ally, or the wearer themself.
This includes regular attacks as well as self-target abilities like Dash and Rage.
This also includes effects the game considers an "attack" (due to underlying code) such as: using the Perform action (including in combat), speaking with the Sentient Amulet (including in combat), targeting someone with the ability check version of Bend Luck, and provoking an attack of opportunity (though if the wearer takes damage from it, they lose 2 Acuity).
Helldusk Armour and Elven Chain lack an armour proficiency group, and so can be worn by any character without incurring the normal penalties for lacking proficiency. Because they lack a proficiency group, both armours are not seen as armour proper by Become the Bulwark and can therefore be used in combination with it.
Due to a bug in reaction processing, if Bend Luck forces an enemy to fail a saving throw, a few abilities with multiple requirements have those requirements ignored. This is known to happen with Piercing Shot, Profane Scourge, and Slay.
(As of Hotfix #11, possible Bug) Blessed Healer seems to activate on much more sources of Healing than the tooltip indicates:
Healing Spells of Level 1 and higher that target only the user will trigger both Disciple of Lifeand Blessed Healer (for a total of 4 + 2 * Spell Level).
Any application of Frightened by the wearer triggers Bolstering Smite.
Though not stated in the description, the temporary hit points only last for two turns.
The temporary hit points only have a StackPriority of 1, and as such are overridden by any other source of temporary hit points which have a StackPriority of 1 or higher, even if the new source is of a lesser value.
Despite the description, this passive also includes code which allows affected characters to ignore the effects of Fog as well as any condition in the Blinded status group.
Consuming Alcohol will place the Ki Point recovery feature on cooldown for the remainder of the day even if no Ki Points were recovered due to the Monk not having spent any yet.
The in-game description for Chilling Counter says there is a DC 13 ConstitutionSaving Throw, but in fact there is no saving throw to avoid the effect; chilled is applied on every missed attack.
Coldbrim Chill triggers under many circumstances even though it appears it should not, due to hidden technical conditions, such as when a ranged weapon attack misses, when Sanctuary is cast near enemies, or when revealing an invisible enemy with See Invisibility.
The in-game description says that the bonus scales with "your" (i.e. the Beast Master's) proficiency bonus, but in fact it uses the companion's proficiency bonus. This means the bonus will not increase to +4 until the final level 11 upgrade to your animal companion rather than at character level 9.
Prior to the level 5 upgrade, animal companions will incorrectly have a proficiency bonus of 0 instead of +2. After the level 5 upgrade, the proficiency bonus will correctly increase to +3. Effectively, this means that at level 5, your animal companions will also receive an increase to their attack rolls equal to their proficiency bonus, but this is not actually part of this feature, merely a consequence of bugged proficiency bonus progression.
Craterous Wounds actually deals an additional 2d6Force damage, as the damage is doubled due to being a critical hit.
When damage is added to a spell or unarmed attack, it is not listed as Craterous Wounds in the combat log.
Throw with a weapon with the Thrown property activates Craterous Wounds an additional time.
Elemental Cleaver or Throwing: Lightning Damage activates Craterous Wounds an additional time. When combined, it results in Craterous Wounds activating three times on a critical hit Throw attack.
Cull the Weak may inadvertantly "kill" a creature that was both damaged and Banished by Banishing Smite, causing the creature to return from banishment with 0 hit points and remain unkillable.
The visual effect and reaction spell are always directed towards the source of the attack, whether the attack has an attack roll or a saving throw. As a result, when Cutting Words is used to the reduce the saving throw roll of an enemy against a spell cast by a non-enemy creature, the visual effect and reaction spell are still directed towards the caster.
The reaction spell is flagged as a harmful spell, and if the caster is a neutral creature it may become hostile towards the bard and their party.
Due to a bug in reaction processing, if Cutting Words forces an enemy to fail a saving throw, a few abilities with multiple requirements have those requirements ignored. This is known to happen with Piercing Shot, Profane Scourge, and Slay.
Despite being flagged with HasVerbalComponent, Cutting Words can be used even while silenced.
Cutting Words does not show the potency of the bardic dice in its description when displayed in the combat log.
Cutting Words checks for the bard level of the source of the attack, instead of the bard that is using Cutting Words (observer). As a result, unless the attacker is also a bard, the maximum difference in roll value that Cutting Words can trigger on is 6 instead of the expected 8 or 10 for bards that are level 5 or above.
Danger Sense specifically checks for Blinded and Knocked Out, rather than any condition within the Blinded or Incapacitated condition groups. This means similar conditions, such as Blindness and Blinded, do not block Danger Sense.
The temporary hit points lack a StackPriority and as such are overridden by any other source of temporary hit points, even if the new source is of a lesser value such as from Well-Liked and Well-Fortified.
Darkveil Precision is not automatically applied to the wielder when first equipped while already Lightly Obscured or Heavily Obscured. The wielder must first either move to Clear Area and back, or Hide.
Normally, a creature gains Advantage when making a ranged attack from within magical Darkness, assuming it can do so via a feature such as Devil's Sight that grants vision in magical darkness. However, if the target of the attack has Darkvision, and the attacker is within the target's Darkvision range, then the attacker gains no advantage. This is despite the fact that Darkvision does not grant vision in magical darkness.
The in-game description claims that this can boost regular Darkvision from 12 m (40 ft) to 15 m (50 ft). This is not the case.
The stated Darkvision range of 3 m (10 ft) is incorrect. The DarkvisionRange(3) boost from this passive adds to the MinimumDetectionRange value of 2 found on all characters, effectively providing a Darkvision range of 5 m (17 ft).
For Helldusk Armour and Elven Chain, both of which lack a proficiency group, Defence does not consider them as armour proper. To work around this, these items have a hidden passive which grants +1 AC if the wearer has the Defence passive. However, if the wearer also has another piece of armour equipped which has a proficiency group, the normal +1 AC from Defence is additionally applied, for a total of +2 AC.
Unlike similar reactions (Shield Master: Block), the icon for Defensive Duellist in the reactions tab does not "gray out" when the reaction is unavailable due to an incompatible equipped weapon.
Damage does not need to be reduced to 0 in order to redirect the attack.
Against ranged attacks that fire multiple projectiles, such as Multiattack (Ranged) or dual wielded Hand Crossbows, only the last attack can be deflected to reduce its damage. None of the projectiles can be thrown back with Deflect Missiles: Redirect.
The increased movement distance is tied to the extra weapon attack. Once the extra attack has been made, any unused bonus movement is immediately lost.
Despite misleading tooltips, Dreadful Hewer provides Disadvantage on target's Saving Throws for many effects applying Fearful or Frightened conditions.
This feat's ability score increase follows the priority order for capped bonuses. If uncapped bonuses have already raised the score to 20 or higher, then this feat's ability score increase is not applied.
This feat's ability score increase applies in Wild Shape and Slayer forms.
Despite the description stating it affects the "next spell", this condition affects all saving throws caused by the Eldritch Knight until it expires. This applies also to non-spell sources such as weapon actions, weapon passives like Blood-Curdling Emission, illithid powers, etc.
The code does not specifically check that a damaging spell is cast, only that an action flagged with the appropriate elemental type is used. This causes the reaction to trigger on many more actions than would otherwise be expected. Additionally, the code does not check that the caster is lacking the resistance before prompting the reaction, potentially wasting a Sorcery Point.
Helldusk Armour and Elven Chain lack an armour proficiency group, and so can be worn by any character without incurring the normal penalties for lacking proficiency. Because they lack a proficiency group, both armours are not seen as armour proper by Evasive Instinct and can therefore be used in combination with it.
Unlike other temporary hit points, the temporary HP granted by Ever Vigilant disappears at the end of combat. This limitation is not stated in the description.
If a companion uses Dash (bonus action) first then that companion will not be able to use (the standard version of) Dash after. However, if a companion uses Dash first then they will be able to use Dash (bonus action) after. This is because companions use a version of Dash unique to NPCs (Shout_Dash_NPC) which is unusable when the creature is already affected by the Dash condition.
Despite the tooltip suggesting otherwise, Executioner only applies to weapon attack rolls.
When using weapon specific abilities that impose a saving throw such as Pushing Attack (Melee) and Lacerate, Executioner attempts to apply its 'Natural 20' effect to the enemy's saving throw as well as the character's attack. This creates a risk of wasting the Executioner condition to help the enemy.
If the Executioner reaction is set to 'Automatic': the game forces the character's attack roll to a 20 (a Critical Hit) but also forces the target’s Saving Throw to a 20. This grants the enemy a high probability of resisting the secondary effect (e.g., they take the damage but are not pushed).
If the Executioner reaction is set to 'Ask': The game triggers two separate prompts:
First Prompt: asks to turn the character's attack roll into a 20. (Recommend: Yes)
Second Prompt: asks to turn the enemy's Saving Throw into a 20. (Recommend: No)
If the character accepts the second prompt, the Executioner condition is consumed, and the enemy receives a large bonus to their save.
Note: While Saving Throws do not technically 'critically succeed' on a 20, the high roll often results in the enemy resisting the effect.
Wasted Charges: due to a scripting error, Executioner fails to check if the attacking character has already rolled a Natural 20 normally. If the character lands a critical hit on their own, the reaction can still trigger (and be consumed) if they either accept the reaction prompt or have it set to 'Automatic'.
Exotic Material does not work if either the Medium Armour Master or Magic Initiate: Cleric feat is gained. The Magic Initiate: Cleric feat has an unlisted effect that increases the maximum AC bonus from Dexterity while wearing Medium Armour from +2 to +3.
Prophecy: Delivering Alms can never be completed because it references a passive which does not exist in the game code.
Divination Wizards can only have one die per value, yet the game only ensures unique values for Portent Dice granted after long rests. This means a fulfilled Prophecy might result in no extra die if a wizard already has a die with the same value. For example, a wizard with 2 remaining Portent Dice has a 10% chance of not getting a new die, while a wizard with a single remaining die has a 5% chance.
Casting area of effect spells while not in turn-based mode can make prophecies activated by dealing a certain damage type trigger multiple times, resulting in multiple new Portent Dice, often overcoming the limit of 3. For example, casting a Fireball with Lightning Charges against a group of five enemies while outside of combat and having both Prophecy: Burn After Reading and Prophecy: Shocking Revelation results in up to 10 new Portent Dice for a Divination Wizard, as both prophecies are triggered once per enemy.
While the Fiendish Fire saving throw triggers on all damage dealt by the wielder (including spells and other weapons), the effect is actually applied only if the damage originates from this specific weapon. If the target fails the save against a spell or a different melee attack, the status effect will not be inflicted.
If Fiery Return is triggered with a Bonus Action (for example, with Metamagic: Quickened Spell), the extra bonus action granted by this passive is wasted and consumed immediately.
Hellcrawler, a class action granted by the Helldusk Boots, triggers Fiery Return, essentially negating the bonus action cost.
Fire Acuity only functions once per attack, despite the in-game tooltip stating "whenever" you deal fire damage. It does however work for every ray of Scorching Ray, since each ray makes a separate attack roll.
Despite the tooltip stating that an attacker receives Burning upon damaging the wearer, Flaming Shroud requires failing a DC 12 DexteritySaving Throw before Burning is applied.
The required saving throw is attributed to the wearer of the cloak, rather than the attacker, making successful application at higher levels less likely.
Though Flaming Shroud states an attacker must be within 2 m (7 ft), it only triggers on a melee attack.
Freecast can be easily reset by having another character apply a condition (such as Guidance or Aura of Protection) on the character seeking to (re)use Freecast.
Freecast becomes disabled when equipping or unequipping a weapon from the ranged weapon slot. It can be re-enabled by re-equipping a melee weapon.
Contrary to the in-game description, the additional Channel Divinity Charge granted by Godswill restores on a short rest. However if the extra charge is expended and the amulet is unequipped, the extra charge does not reappear if re-equipped before a long rest; at this point it cannot be restored with a short rest.
The additional Channel Divinity Charge does not incur the amulet's once-per-rest cooldown if spent on Destructive Wrath, Guided Strike, Touch of Death, or War God's Blessing. If spent in this manner, simply unequipping and reequipping the amulet restores the Channel Divinity Charge.
While a two-handed melee weapon is equipped and the melee weapon slot is active, this passive also triggers damage rerolls on all Throw attacks using weapons with the Thrown property that are not equipped (i.e., in the character's inventory, in a container, or on the ground).
When toggled on, Great Weapon Master reduces Attack Rolls for weapon actions from Two-Handed and Versatile (no shield) weapons that deal a fixed 1d4 damage. These specific 1d4 weapon actions suffer the accuracy penalty and gain the damage bonus despite the weapon action tooltips not displaying the additional damage.
If a character makes an attack that either starts a combat or makes the character join the first round of an in-progress combat, and the attack triggers the Great Weapon Master: Bonus Attack condition, then that condition is removed as soon as the character's turn starts. This effectively means such attacks do not grant Great Weapon Master: Bonus Attack.
Killing a druid on the very next attack after the druid had lost a Wild Shape form, but before that druid's next turn, will not trigger this feature.
Rather than only replenishing once per turn, Grit activates each time the wearer's total hit points are reduced to 50% or lower. Thus, it is possible for the wearer to gain multiple additional bonus actions in a turn by being healed above and then reduced again to 50% or less Hit Points.
The in-game description also says "A Frostbitten creature that takes Cold damage will take an additional 1 Cold damage per turn of Frostbite remaining." However, it has no interaction or relation with the inaccessible Frostbite condition.
Despite its tooltip stating otherwise, Heart of the Storm also activates on cantrips and spells that are flagged as Lightning/Thunder-type but do not deal damage.
This feat's ability score increase follows the priority order for capped bonuses. If uncapped bonuses have already raised the score to 20 or higher, then this feat's ability score increase is not applied.
This feat's ability score increase applies in Wild Shape and Slayer forms.

This feat's ability score increase applies in Wild Shape and Slayer forms.
Despite what the in-game description says, the resistance applied by Helm's Protection comes from a normal Blade Ward, and applies to any source of Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage, not just damage from weapons.
Once a weapon with the Homing Weapon passive is dropped, this passive will not show if the weapon is examined while it is on the ground. Additionally, when a dropped weapon with this passive is subsequently picked up and thrown (regardless of which character throws it), it will return to the Main Hand (melee) of the character who initially dropped the item.
Hunter's Eye requires the wearer to be the source of the mentioned conditions on the target; it does not provide an attack roll bonus if another character is the source of the conditions.
The description in-game states the reaction can only be used once per Long Rest, when it is set to once per any rest.
On spells that have both an attack roll and a saving throw roll, such as Ensnaring Strike, the +99 is added to the attacker's attack roll instead of the defender's saving throw.
This reaction still triggers on saving throws that are already successful, wasting the effect.
Infernal Sight does not see through magical darkness and does not provide the cone of light that is otherwise present with the Darkvision effect from a different source, such as the Darkvision spell, an Elixir of Darkvision, or from having the Darkvision passive innately via race.
The roll for the Poisoned saving throw is not shown in the combat log for either a successful or failed save. Because it has a low DC 12 ConstitutionSaving Throw, this can give the impression that the poison effect does not work at all.
Lathander's Blessing does not heal allies of the wielder, but rather only active party members nearby.
Due to the way the healing is coded, the attacker who triggered Lathander's Blessing is considered to be the source of the healing. As a result, the healing does not trigger on-heal effects such as Blessed Mercy from The Whispering Promise when equipped by the wielder.
Due to an incorrectly set TargetConditions field, the additional 1d6Hit Points affect the wielder in addition to the 2d6Hit Points.
Due to a timing limitation caused by the method in which healing is applied, the wielder may not always receive all of the healing they are stated to have received in the combat log; they often receive only 1Hit Point (from being stabilised) or 1d6Hit Points, rather than the expected 1d6+2d6Hit Points. It is also possible for the wielder to receive healing, yet still remain dead, showing their lootable corpse with remaining hitpoints.
Due to a missing technical condition, MAG_LATHANDERS_TRACKER, resulting from The Blood of Lathander being spawned in-game via a Local Item, this passive's cooldown of once per long rest only refreshes for the wielder during a long rest. Equipping the weapon on another character who did not wield the weapon during a long rest does not allow the passive to trigger again. Additionally, Lathander's Blessing is not reset when consuming a Potion of Angelic Slumber or when affected by Divine Intervention: Opulent Revival.
Due to a coding error, a creature that possesses this passive and starts its turn with less than 3 m (10 ft) will consume more of its movement speed to stand up from the Prone condition than it would have if it did not possess this passive.
The required saving throw for Lesser Infernal Retribution is attributed in the combat log to the wearer of the armour, rather than the attacker, but is correctly rolled by the attacker.
Though Lesser Infernal Retribution states an attacker must be within 2 m (7 ft), it actually only triggers on a melee attack.
On thrown weapon attacks, Lesser Infernal Touch applies both the extra fire damage meant for weapon attacks and the Bleeding effect meant for unarmed attacks.
The target's DC 13 ConstitutionSaving Throw to resist the Bleeding condition from Lesser Infernal Touch does not appear in the combat log.
Casting a Necromancy cantrip consumes the Life Essence Harvest charge, even though the character's cast bar does not highlight the cantrip to indicate it will use the effect.
The temporary hit points only have a StackPriority of 1, and as such are overridden by any other source of temporary hit points that have a StackPriority of 1 or higher, even if the new source is of a lesser value.
Despite the tooltip warning, the condition which grants the temporary hit points does not use the "TEMPORARY_HP" StackId and thus may be active on a character in addition to other sources of temporary hit points. In this case, the character will receive the temporary hit points from the highest source, while any lower sources will be used to replenish any lost temporary hit points from the highest source.
Due to the way this passive's reaction is coded'"`UNIQ--ref-0000000A-QINU`"', it triggers on attacks that are not natural 20 rolls but are already critical hits due to Critical Hit Threshold Reductions.
Due to the way this passive is granted, it defaults to "off" and cannot be toggled "on" the very first time it is acquired until after the character has first made an ability check, has used a reaction, has used a short rest, or has taken a long rest.
Switching Starry Forms with Twinkling Constellations, or dismissing a disguise from Disguise Self while affected by a Starry Form, removes the temporary hit points from Lunar Vitality. The AC and saving throw bonus from Lunar Protection remains.
Due to a coding error, the 3d4 extra damage from this feature is not magical despite the description saying it is.
The 3d4 extra damage applies to all melee attacks instead of just weapon attacks, and it triggers twice if dual wielded. Most damage riders also stack with each instance of this damage.
This feat has an unlisted effect that increases the maximum AC bonus from Dexterity while wearing Medium Armour from +2 to +3. This effect is equivalent to the Medium Armour Master feat. Also like that feat, this effect will break the Exotic Material feature of certain Medium Armours.
When provided by this feat, Shield uses spell slots like an ordinary spell without a once-per-long-rest restriction. However this also means that it cannot be used at all by a character with no spell slots.
When provided by this feat, Shield uses spell slots like an ordinary spell without a once-per-long-rest restriction. However this also means that it cannot be used at all by a character with no spell slots.
If a character makes an attack that either starts a combat or makes the character join the first round of an in-progress combat, and the attack triggers the Martial Arts: Unarmed Strike condition, then that condition is removed as soon as the character's turn starts. This effectively means such attacks do not grant Martial Arts: Unarmed Strike.
Due to faulty exclusionary check within the HasEnemyWithinRange() conditional script, Martial Bravery still functions with nearby unconscious and incapacitated enemies as long as there is at least one conscious enemy nearby (alive and not incapacitated).
Despite the description, two or more enemies must be within 3 m (10 ft) of the target, not the wearer of the circlet. This means the wearer does not need to be "surrounded" at all; they need enemies near the target of their attack.
Due to the lack of a TargetRadius check for projectile spells, Twinned Spell is compatible with the ranged version of certain spells while also being incompatible with the melee version. An example of this is Ensnaring Strike.
Due to a coding error, this passive does not correctly cast Invisibility (He Who Was) on He Who Was and interrupts multi-hit attacks. Additionally, this passive is supposed to cost He Who Was a reaction point to trigger, but costs the attacker a reaction point instead.
The Monsterslayer damage bonus is added to all weapon attacks made by the wielder against Monstrosity foes well as a 1d4 bonus to all attack rolls against such foes, including spell attacks.
Contrary to the description from the in-game tooltip, there is no requirement that a creature be the target of a critical hit. For example, when an object is struck on the ground, the Diamondsbane passive from an adamantine weapon triggers Mortal Reminder.
As Mortal Reminder triggers on each critical hit, and destructable objects can be dropped without using action resources, this bug can be used to greater effect with a character who has Extra Attack and items which give bonuses to Spell Save DC. In addition, while the Dual Wielder feat, Two-Weapon Fighting style, and Fast Hands do not specifically assist with exploiting this bug, they allow preservation of attack ability while attempting to do so.
As Battle Acuity also triggers on dealing weapon damage to objects as well as creatures, the Helmet of Arcane Acuity pairs well with this (bugged) feat.
The in-game tooltip always says the hit point threshold is 40%, even in difficulties where it is increased to 70%. See Multiattack for implementation details.
The stated Darkvision range of 3 m (10 ft) is incorrect. The DarkvisionRange(3) boost from this passive adds to the MinimumDetectionRange value of 2 found on all characters, effectively providing a Darkvision range of 5 m (17 ft).
Specifically, it is possible to lose the regular Bless condition (due to the caster losing concentration) while retaining the Mystra's Blessing condition. In this case, the creature is left with a 1d4 bonus to spell attack rolls, but loses the other 1d4 bonuses, despite the tooltip of the condition claiming otherwise.
Mystra's Blessing is only applied when Bless is cast using a level 1 or level 2 spell slot, in addition to the once-per-day version granted by the staff itself.
Momentum applies multiple times per attack with spells that are considered weapon attacks and include multiple DealDamage functions, such as Booming Blade and the various Smite spells.
Unlike other Eldritch Invocations which grant variants of spells that have had their spell slot costs removed (such as Beast Speech), this simply grants Enchance Leap which, as a ritual spell, will cost a warlock spell slot while cast in turn-based mode.
This feature is still able to attack targets that have either Panache or Fancy Footwork.
Due to a reaction timing issue, this feature does not function with Sentinel: Snare and a weapon with Extra Reach to stop creatures from entering within their 1.5 m (5 ft) melee range. The Opportunity Attack reaction window will prompt at 2.5 m (8 ft), but the attack will not be made until the creature has already moved to within 1.5 m (5 ft).
Portent does not trigger in the following situations:
An ally's attack misses due to rolling a natural 1 but the (modified) roll meets or exceeds the target's AC
An ally's attack misses and the Portent roll, if used, would be under the target's AC yet would critically hit due to an expanded critical threshold (for Portent Dice below 20)
An enemy critically hits but the roll is under the target's AC
Portent sometimes triggers unnecessarily due to misinterpreting critical hits or misses as non-critical, or wrongly assuming Portent Dice of 1 or 20 automatically fail or succeed a saving throw.
Divination Wizards can only have one die per value, yet the game only ensures unique values for Portent dice granted after long rests. This means a fulfilled Prophecy (achieved outside of resting) might result in no extra die if the Wizard already has a die with the same value. For example, a Wizard with 2 Portent dice has a 10% chance of not getting a new die, while a Wizard with a single die has a 5% chance.
Casting area spells while not in turn-based mode breaks the regular limits of Divination Wizard abilities:
The same Portent die can be used against all enemies. Casting crowd-control spells like Hypnotic Pattern before joining combat can easily result in all enemies disabled by forcing a fail on their saving throw by spending a single Portent die.
Prophecies activated by dealing some typed damage can be triggered multiple times, resulting in multiple new Portent dice, often overcoming the limit of 3. Example: Casting a Fireball with Lightning Charges against a group of 5 enemies before joining combat under both Prophecy: Burn After Reading and Prophecy: Shocking Revelation results in up to 10 new Portent dice for the Divination Wizard, as both prophecies will be triggered once per enemy.
Due to a bug in reaction processing, if Portent forces an enemy to fail a saving throw, a few abilities with multiple requirements have those requirements ignored. This is known to happen with Piercing Shot, Profane Scourge, and Slay.
The weapon tooltip incorrectly lists two entries of +1d4Piercing, with one also stating (Conditional). This is merely a UI bug, and the weapon will correctly deal 1d4Piercing additional damage.
Prey Upon the Weak from Crimson Mischief does not function in Honour mode. However, the Murderous Cut version does work.
This passive is not correctly removed from characters upon respec, and will continue to display permanently in a character's "Notable Features" section even when no longer specced as a Ranger.
In Honour mode, once the wielder has 50% hit points or less, the weapon tooltip incorrectly lists two entries of +1d4Slashing, with one also stating (Conditional). This is merely a UI bug, and the weapon will correctly deal 1d4Slashing additional damage.
When Karmic Dice are enabled, opposed dialogue checks have a chance of automatically failing.'"`UNIQ--ref-0000009B-QINU`"' This includes rolls that would have otherwise been a guaranteed success due to Reliable Talent.
The Religion checks against the Mirror of Loss are notable examples.

Due to a conditional requirement check bug, Jump (Running) may appear to be usable on the character's hotbar (and is even selectable) on the next turn immediately following a turn on which it was used, but it cannot actually be used again until the character uses a Dash action.
The in-game description says the target has a DC 13 ConstitutionSaving Throw to avoid the Ruptured effect. However, this is not true and the condition is always applied.
