[Not An Issue] Messenger of Sseth displays incorrect number of attacks/round

Redrake

The Messenger of Sseth longbow should grant 3 attacks/round to the character wielding it. However it does not appear to display them correctly. It still shows 2 attacks/round or in case of another character that stupid BG2 message 5/2 (why it cannot say 2 1/2 attacks is beyond me).

And I checked with NI. Obviously, the attacks/round are in error. While it should be 3 attacks/round, the item is actually 3 attacks/2 rounds. Maybe the next patch should fix this.

Where you seeing that?

In NI, I see effect modify attacks per round 3/1 as the last effect on the messenger of sseth (bowmess item code)

Well, I've seen different. It was 3/2 on my NI.

I did install Scales of Balance mod a few days ago. I wonder if that somewhat changed this item...

I'm seeing 3 attacks per round when I equip Messenger of Sseth in my game.

It's caused by the "Scales of Balance" mod, which reduces the attack rate of the bow to 1.5 APR.

Sounds like Scale of Unbalance. It basically turns that bow into a normal enchanted bow. 3/2 were the attacks my elf could make with an unenchanted composite bow.
