Nah, you're missing Sacred + Displacement/Invis Circumstance at minimum. Can probably get in the 90s if you really work at it.

A Parry build to eat Nat 20s should be viable.
Displacement doesn't add any AC? Neither does Invisibility?

What are you using to get a Sacred bonus to AC?
Inquisitor can share its judgement sacred AC +5 I think at max lvl

AB, not AC.

Yeah, shared Judgement is probably best Sacred bonus, but there are a lot of ways. Tristian can give +10 with max Touch of Good.

This has Hap beat on Sacred and Luck:

Here's concealment bonus for Invis/Displacement:

Note: this is one of the reasons Womb feels unusually difficult first time you play it if you don't have Blindfight/Echolocation up to prevent it.

Don't you think Improved Precise Shot is super useful for lategame content on a character without natural access to Echolocation?

So let me get this straight, Slayer Study Target is stacking with itself currently when you get multiple hits?

It was a product of the change where they made multiple Freebooters stack I think.

Jubiholic, what can I say. True Seeing also works. Got to take Blindfight anyway, so benefit is marginal in any case.

Ok I'm seeing multiple stacks of Study Target, but I'm not seeing the evidence that this is providing multiple instances of +AB and +Damage to the Slayer

Yeah, sure, Tristan can help more. Kinda forgot that, as I usually used his bonus for skillchecks instead. And +10 is only for 1 round.
At that level there aren't many skillchecks left to pass, though :)

I was gonna say, Touch of Good is all fine and dandy but using a standard action to give a buff for one round? When Community domain exists in the game? No thanks, I'll stick with Calming Touch & Guarded Hearth...

It's useful against Mirror Image. As well as magical concealment, I guess. It doesn't help against blink-like monster abilities.

There are way too many ppl complaining about this bug for it to be mod related I think

edit: A dude from Owlcat said they are working on a fix, it's on their end

Well, why is it affecting your test and not Desiderius in his test?

I just looked at 3 or 4 random screenshots, but definitely should have procced if it was going to on that Owlbear one.

It did feel like it was stacking over the course of an entire playthrough, for what it’s worth.

Never actually tested it. Been using Echolocation due to that chart (erroneously) saying it gave gaze immunity.

Is there a mod or a setting that stops the fucking rods auto activating on rest ?
