After a pause for my bard I continued the game with her. Now she is level 17 and the endfights started.

 

Here I have a - perhaps stupid - question:

 

Without thinking too much I gave her "extend" and then "persistent spell". At this time I didn't realize that bards are capped at spell level 6.

In other words: Persistent spell is totally useless for a bard, right?

 

Now, what I don't understand:

 

When I look into her spell-list and check the "persistent tab", I can see that she could make "haste" persistent at spell level 9, like a wizard or a sorc.

But this is greyed out and she will never reach this spell level.

 

The question for me is, why is it then there?

Yes. Well, technically, you can persist cantrips... so yes, useless. Extend is good, though.

I don't know -why- it's there. It's just the way it is, that's all. Perhaps it was easier to use the same layout as wizards or something... just ignore it.

Nevertheless, it is confusing.

 

If someone like me is not so well versed in regard of the deeper knowledge of the rules, then there is always the apprehension that a mistake was made.

it's easy enough to remove and replace the feat.

Sometimes I'll 'try out' a feat, but if it's a total bork useless
just hunt up "removefeat" & "givefeat" + an index of Feats

I agree, just saying that you'll have to live with it, unless there's a mod out there that fixes it (which I doubt).

Not that I know of such a mod, but now it's also ok to just ignore it.

 

One other thing happened during the endfights of the OC:

 

Although she wears this shadow helm AND was protected by a mass death ward spell, she died when she presumably failed her save against a "finger of death"-spell, casted by one of these shadow clerics  -  just a mob, not one of the reavers,

 

The fortitude save negates the spell just partially. Should it succeed, there is still a 3D6+1 per cl damage to survive. My question:

 

If there is an immunity against death-spells, would this not include the 3D6+... damage as well?
