04-02-07, 01:51 PM Is there an errata for this feat somewhere? I'm trying to find out if there is a reflex save for half.

04-02-07, 02:32 PM No Errata for the Complete Mage yet, and the FAQ does not address this.
There was another thread on this and it broke into 2 camps. ( in no order )

1: RaW; there is no indication of a save; therefore no save.
2: Should be Errata'd; similar Reserve feats get a save, despite that damage dice used and area shape varies, therefore Stormbolt should also allow a save.

I choose (1: ), but my character has this feat, so i am extremely biased. :D

Should the Storm Bolt feat from Complete Mage allow a saving throw?

"Not all reserve feats allow a saving throw, but Storm Bolt should have one. Add this after the second sentence of the Benefit entry of the feat:

"A successful Reflex saves halves the damage."

This has been approved by the good folks that make the game and will be covered in an errata at some point in the future. Until then, we advise that you apply this fix to the Storm Bolt feat."
