I've created a multi-class arcanist. Rog2/Arc11. When resetting the arcane reservoir pool it only places 6 points back into the pool.
The ability description states the the reservoir should get 3 + 1/2 Arcanist level in points back. This should be 8 with the current build. |

It's not a bug, I know because I reported the same issue a while back. The trackers on the In-Play Tab report how much has been used, not how much is left, so with 6 out of 14 "used" you have 8 left.
If this seems wrong to you, you aren't alone. I'd far prefer that the trackers showed remaining instead of used.

That can't be correct. I've chosen Elf and have taken the extra arcanist reservoir favored class bonus. My max total is 25.
Also who makes the system show a used count instead of a remaining count? That's backwards. |

If you have 20 arrows you start at 0/20 and count up to 20. The same logic applies to the Reservoir tracker.

And it's backwards. And using a wand charge should also take it off the wand, so your gear value is correct.

+1 agree. Always thought it was counting backwards.

Obviously those are "valid" opinions but its about the same valid as what is in HL. As a programmer I am in agreement with LW's design that it makes more sense to be 0/50 and count up. Never even thought it was wrong until a few my "players" complained. Of course they are just "players" so I don't often pay much attention.
It would be nice if the ability of setting it to count up or down could be done so each person could decide for themselves. I tried to add that logic in myself awhile back but it failed badly. I think a bunch of fixes/enhancements have happened sense then so maybe its something I should look into again. But I fear unless the "Used" field can be changed too many existing "scripts" would break or fail to function correctly. Plus I think a few things I found where "hard-coded" into the iPad logic...

Neither is more or right.
It is purely a visual issue vs the logic we apply. If you are a "I have 50 uses but have used 0" logical type, then its a perfectly normal counter. If you are a "I have 50 uses but have 50 unused" logical type, the it is a really difficult counter to use.
