Inherent bonus
A bonus to an ability score, skill, or other statistics, resulting from powerful magic, such as a wish.
- Multiple inherent bonuses do not stack, so only the best one applies.
- Inherent bonuses cannot be dispelled.
- Inherent bonuses (to ability and skill) count for feat prerequisites, such as Power Attack or Single Weapon Fighting.
Sources[edit]
- Ability bonuses: Ability tome (or old giveaways, such as Birthday Cake of Wishes)
- Skill bonuses: Tome of Skill
- MP/RP/SP/PRR/MRR: Mysterious Remnant Tome
Reincarnation[edit]
All inherent bonuses are kept with any form of reincarnation. Skill and ability bonuses apply gradually as you level up (+1 and +2 at 1st level, +3 at 3rd, +4 at 7th, +5 at 11th, +6 at 15th, +7 at 19th, and +8 at 22nd).
On the character sheet:
- You can see your current active bonus by hovering over an ability score or skill.
- For abilities, you can check your total inherent bonus on the Feats tab under special feats.
- For skills, there's no way to display the total inherent bonus for low-level characters.
History[edit]
Inherent bonuses on equipable items no longer exist as of Update 14.
- Reinforced Plating items were changed to a 10% insight bonus to fortification.
- Inherent resistance items, were changed to an insight bonus for the +10 version and a competence bonus for the +5 version.
