Got a problem with feat not working

    I have a lvl 11 rogue, lvl 15 fighter human character.

    I have the feats power attack, cleave, expertise, weapon finesse, and maximize. I've placed power attack, maximize, and expertise feats on my spell bar.

    The problem is, those feats i've placed on the spell bar are "gray" and I can't use them.

    What am I doing wrong? on my pure fighter those same feats are in color and usable. even on my cleric power attack feat is in color and usable from the spell bar.

    ---------- Added 1 hours, 52 minutes and 59 seconds later... ----------

    wierd....

    after about 2 hours of gaming, it started to be available to me. They are now accessible in the spell bar, and I have no idea why it started to work.

    I haven't put any new ability points, skill points, or any new feats for that matter.

    Wonder what the problem was.

    That's weird, I know there can be glitches as far as abilities go but that's strange indeed. This may be redundant but did you patch the game?

    Anyway, glad it sorted out after all. Welcome to the Boards apoum.

    [​IMG] i haven't a clue either. but it did strike me, that Power Attack and Sneak Attack are both forms of bonus damage, so maybe it's a glitch in coding, that makes the two damage bonuses (temporarily) not work together. Dit it suddenly become available after reloading or resting?

    Thanks for the welcome :)

    Yah, the game was patched right after I installed the game.

    As, for the warrior feats, they became suddenly available mid fight during a random encounter.

    [​IMG] wait a minute, you realize that you can't have Expertise and Power Attack on simultaneously, right? They're mutually exclusive.

    yah ofcourse.

    Maybe, I didnt make myself clear in my original post. "none" of the warrior feats were usable on the spell bar. they were greyed out.

    And, yes I made sure the script was not using rogue sneak. I double checked it with fighter script and without script, in and out of combat.

    It just randomly became usuable after about 2 hours during a random encounter.

    ---------- Added 22 hours, 58 minutes and 31 seconds later... ----------

    damn feats became gray and unusable again on my 11rogue/15fighter toon....

    games so damn buggy...

    in the future i think ill only do single classes, and try to stay away from dual or multiclasses.

    i don't know why you encountered such a problem, but you shouldn't let it influence your multiclassing. it's a rarity, and you probably won't encounter it again. As far as i experienced, the game is quite stable.

    heh getting stranger still.

    i can use power attack, and maximized attack becomes "clickable" but after I click maximized attack nothing happens and the rogue/fighter just stands still.

    My pure fighter's maximized attack, power attack works fine without a hiccup of a glitch.

    blah... atleast the game is still a lot of fun :)

    Are you using any mods? I had something similar (though not as bad) happen with the mod that adds in improved armours. My fighter/barbarian/rogue couldn't access the special abilities buttons in some armours. Changing other buttons on the taskbar did allow me to access them directly for some reason.

    no mods.

    funny thing happened, maximized attack became clickable, and when i clicked on it... he just stood still not attacking, and looking confused.

    oh well. he still does ok without it i guess.
