Star card (Deck of many things) and rogues

[Guest Humanoid_Taifun]

It seems neither thieves nor bards can get the dexterity bonus from the deck of many things - instead they are granted 1 point of strength.

While that's understandable when talking about swashbucklers or blades, it doesn't seem to be what was intended by the developers.

I myself have no experience modding, so I'll just quote what somebody else from the bioware forums:

It's actually impossible to get the +1 Dex because the trigger for this is coded incorrectly; it says:

 

Class(LastTalkedToBy,BARD_ALL)

Class(LastTalkedToBy,THIEF_ALL)

 

Instead of

 

OR(2)

Class(LastTalkedToBy,BARD_ALL)

Class(LastTalkedToBy,THIEF_ALL)

 

Since nobody is a thief AND a bard you can't actually get the Dex bonus. As a result the bonus defaults to Strength. Adding the OR(2) line in e.g. Near Infinity should fix it.

Wow, I can't believe this isn't in already?

Thanks.
