Bolster Spell damage not converted to other types. Bug? Intended?

I am at the point in my playthrough where I have everything bolstered and since I am playing a fire mage most of my spells have been not actually needing a conversion. I just got chain lightning however and when I have my elemental bloodline converting to fire it works on the primary bolts, but all the small AoE damage from bolster stays lightning, meaning most important enemies are immune.

I tried it with and without mods on, but seems to act that way regardless. I assume others have noticed this. Anything to be done?

Do I even upgrade this?

So I am playing through right now on what will be a Legend run. So right now I get fun little bonuses on my weapons, but in act 5 I won't, and if I'm not mistaken upgrading Radiance is a new item, not a true "upgrade."

So where normally upgrading Radiance is a flat +2, it would now be a +1 that loses radiant. It didn't even occur to me that Radiance would get the trickster bonus. So yeah, would y'all upgrade it if you planned on using it?

Maximum natural attacks build help

So for my next run (I'm only half through my current so I've got time,) I want maximum narural attacks without being shapeshifted.

My understanding is that bite stacking was nerfed so 6 shifter is now required. I just wanted to see if anyone knew what did still stack and help with the build!

So one of each natural attack now. So bite,claw,claw,gore.

Do gores still stack if I have, say, close to the abyss and the helmet? I know the mask lets you make an extra bite.

What about the rageshaper slams? If I have a source of claws can I also make the slams?

Is there any other stacking natural attacks to get? A source that inexplicably stacks or something I'm missing that gives a tail attack?

I guess with bite stacking removed demon is no longer a required path for this goal, is that right? I think I'm still choosing it since I haven't done demon, just checking.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Sable Company Thoughts?

I just started a game after not playing since DLC 1 or 2. I'm using Lann just until my party fills out and had the idea to give my entire "non main" party animals so I can have my main party of infantry and off party of all mounts. I put Sable Company on Lann and oh my god, it's crazy fun! Has anyone else been playing around with sable and have builds they enjoy?

It's super cool with ranged. I thought it would just be movement goodies with a bow but now at a fairly low level I can move into melee, use the wingbeat to bullrush everything, make them flat footed, and attack. In another level they'll all take aoo's thanks to improved bull rush and snap shot. It's such exciting guerrilla tactic stuff.

Anyway, kinda just a hippogriff appreciation post. What's yalls favorite hippogriff user builds? At this point my "all mounted off party" has become an "all horsebird off party."

Any fix for fire immunity suppressing bloodline arcana?

I luckily thought to test the build before starting anew long term run and discovered a bug I didn't know about. I guess immunity to fire (or w/e element) makes it so you can't benefit from your level 1 elemental arcana, turning off a big part of the class.

Is there a mod that fixes this? Or a way around it other than "Don't take your level 20 bloodline ability."?

Why is my character always staggered round 1/2? (DLC5 NOT oracle curse)

I'm in the last area of Lord of Nothing, or what I think is likely the last area since I am level 11. My main character is staggered on round 1 every fight against the shades. Nobody else seems to do it, my buffs and debuffs have nothing, and none of my class abilities or gear pieces should be doing it. The shadows don't seem to have any ability doing it? Or at least the chat log doesn't have me making saves and it doesn't seem to matter if I ambush them or they sneak up on me.

Anybody know what the deal is? Do the shadows stagger you and it just doesn't show in the log? Am I just getting unlucky and only my main is failing?

Lord of Nothing Terrain Choice?

Pardon if my searching was just bad but I didn't see an answer and am avoiding spoilers. I'm using a ranger through it carried over from Ashes. What terrain do the more important fights of Lord of Nothing happen in?

Thanks!

What dips boost a caster's spells? WotR

So I'm gearing up to play again and doing a legend spellcaster. I know legend lends itself most toward gish or fighter because of the bab, but still want to do it.

It'll be no issue getting to cl28 so with 5-10 levels to work with easily, what dips buff your spells rather than just the spells from that class? I know sorc bloodline (or dualblood for 2) gives you a bolster to one element regardless of which class you cast from. What else? I'm planning on my main casting class to be sorc if that matters.
