I talked with Taroc today about this puissant focused change. For Iron golem builds the conculsion is that you need feats kama for iron golem, but since there is no kama yet in the module you should hold off making an iron golem. I guess stone golem is ok as thats greatsword feats. And undarmed for flesh golem but no one builds those. So if you have feats greatsword for puissant then how to hold a greatsword and shield to shift. You cant. I think its a very big ac and shield stat nerf to stone golem. I don't think this is the case, you just need to focus in a weapon and wield it, your shape's weapon doesn't matter anymore. So if you take wf/ewf/imp crit in dagger and sickle, as long as your character is holding a dagger or sickle any shape you use will have the focused dmg bonus. I wouldn't say your shapes weapon doesn't matter, you still want to focus on the shapes weapon for the AB. But you're right in saying it doesn't have to be the weapon you wield before you shift

So if you take wf/ewf/imp crit in dagger and sickle, as long as your character is holding a dagger or sickle any shape you use will have the focused dmg bonus. This sounds like the reverse of what you had to do before. You'd take wf and imp crit in the weapon your shape wields but you'd hold a different weapon to apply puissant. You'd get unfocused damage then shift and get focused ab. Now you do the opposite. Thanks for clarifying. So your saying that you dont need feats in the weapon you hold where the applied puissant turns into unfocused weapon buff but on shifting with unfoucsed weapon buff it carries over but somehow turns into focused weapon buff because shifters can only do focused. I think that would need testing to prove it and probably is what Findall made the code changes for shifters to accomodate that.

To make sure everyone (and myself) understand how this work:
Your character holds a weapon.
You have taken feats focused on the weapon.
You apply puissant to your weapon and get the focused puissant bonus.
You shift into another shape.
The focused puissant bonus gets applied to the shape you shifted to.
If you have taken feats for the shapes' weapon, you get those bonuses too.
Have I understood it correctly Findell?

They are already effective, just, if before you didn't put that file in override folder they didn't show correctly in the char sheet.

Question for Findell: what about air elementals, the wep seems to be a kama, so we are also, for now, not getting full damage/ab from puis as there are no kama's in the game?
I am so confused on what to take to get focused puis on an air ele right now?

You also take wf/ewf/ws/ews/ic in Unarmed and the same for another martial weapon you intend to use and equip for focused...the problem seems to be you need an additional ic in this weapon as well. A total of 3 IC feats and then 2X wf/ewf/ws/ews/ic. I sadly did not do that as it was not necessary previously for full +9 pos, I only get +6.

You get kama feats and puissant bonus merge from that weapon.

You can't focus on kama as they're not in the game, the feats are disabled. I know this because I tried taking Weapon Focus kama about 2 hours ago.

How did you get the feats bonuses before on Elly ? With unarmed strike ? If it's the case then instead of kama take unarmed. You should test in the test area.
Note that the puissant EB/AB bonus doesn't work on +0 weapons.
