The Skald +1 THAC0 and +1 damage bonus is not shown on the character sheet

Whilst the Skald's +1 to hit/damage bonus is used in the calculations for overall THAC0 and damage and shown correctly in the totals on the character sheet, it's not listed as an effect, like strength and the elf and halfling racial weapon bonuses are - is this a bug?

    When looking at your character record sheet, as a Skald, the +1 to THAC0 and +1 to damage isn't listed properly in the damage bonus / thaco bonus list (IE .: Where strength bonus & so on are displayed, next to damage and thaco)

    Expected behaviour : The damage bonus & thaco bonus should be listed.

    Just reported the same bug, please merge http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/15907/skald-bonus-to-hit-and-to-damage-isnt-listed-properly#latest with this one :)

    For what it's worth, the same is true for the AC and THAC0 and damage bonuses for a Swashbuckler.

    Observed behaviour: class bonuses are correctly reflected in the totals for each attribute shown on the character record screen BUT are not shown in the list of contributory factors, so the arithmetic-as-shown doesn't add up to the total-as-shown.

    Expected behaviour: the class bonuses ought to be shown as well as the bonuses from abilities and equipment, so that players can see how the total is arrived at.

    HOWEVER, I don't think this really counts as a bug, since the actual totals shown are correct. It's more of a feature request that it would be less confusing to show all of the factors instead of only some of them, so that the factors shown actually add up to the total shown.

    Actually, since there is a list of contributing bonuses, either all of them should be shown, or the list displayed is incorrect.

    While the bug is minor, it's a bug nonetheless :)

    Fair point, @Aranthys, it probably qualifies as a minor bug.
