My rogue/warrior-ish character has a lot of counter attack (full dual-wield tree and full sword mastery tree, plus lots of counter attack stats on gear), around 40, growing to around 50 when buffed with rage and dual-wield buffs. For some reason since the last reached level, however, the stat seems to be stuck at 10 when I open the character screen (C). Removing and re-adding all gear won't change the value at all. Not a single buff/curse going on either; it won't change from 10 to another value. I can't really tell if this is affects the intrinsic value of counter attack as well, or it's just a cosmetic thing going on. If I'd had to guess, I would say it's a cosmetic bug since counter attack still triggers fairly often. Scratch that; I think the stat is really stuck at 10. Using loads of food to stay alive now. Anyone else with similar problems?

I have the same thing; my counter is stuck at 20. I can get more of it by repeatedly activating combat momentum (which gives +2 and stacks) while wearing my counter gear. I can't get less than 20 by removing said gear. It is sad thing, I guess I have to repurpose the character If it's relevant, this happened at DL 8, O use core skill rebalance mod, have necroeconomics magic tree (debuffs gone awry?). Anyway, it seems that I should throw out my counter gear and make a tank out of that character; dual wielding doul's swords would be a good start.
Had another character the other day with the same problem. Stats would just not change sometimes when removing/adding gear, so at least it's pseudo reproducible. Can't post that save game though. Since he's kind of dead.
Similar problem here: max swords and dual wield, +8 counter from gear, 50-odd Nimbleness and Caddishness, and in the end I only get 30 counter (was expecting more like high 50s). Naked, the character displays 10 counter, and I have to put on several items to get above 10 so I think it's taking a base value of 4 or so counter. I noticed that removing a sword only takes the counter down by 9, same as replacing it with a non-sword weapon, so it looks like dual wield is giving no bonus, but even that doesn't explain how low the number is (shouldn't I get more from stats?). Currently running Mac OS 10.6.8, using Realm of the Diggle Gods version 1.0.9B.
