Does this passive ability actually work?

When I look up the stages of vampirism (stages 2 through to 4) under my Active Effects, it does not appear to me as if the Unnatural Resistance passive ability is being applied.

Does anyone else have this problem?

    @Dorjee, I don't think I'd go so far as calling this an Ability.

    If it gave you 25% increased HR (which I'm fairly certain it does not), you're talking about 10 HR from your previous 8 HR at Vamp 4.

    Save your skillpoint.

    There is no percentage increase that will allow you to be survivable based on HR alone. Your heals are going to come from elsewhere, unless you plan on feeding every half hour.
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Perhaps we are at cross purposes here (probably my fault for not being clearer at the outset) - the issue I have is even with a skill point in Unnatural Resistance, the stages of vampirism on my character sheet still read:

    Stage 1 - No HR penalty
    Stage 2 - 25% HR penalty
    Stage 3 - 50% HR penalty
    Stage 4 - 75% HR penalty

    I receive no benefit from Unnatural Resistance, which this Passive Ability purports to give in relation to vampirism stages 2 through to 4.

    I have 23 unused skill points...using this one can't hurt. Probably doesn't help you're right, but running out of things to burn skill points on.

    Have not been a vampire since before 1.4.4.

    Provided this passive is still working as it was before, the vampire needs to feed on a victim after spending the skill point.
    After feeding the passive correctly activated, for me.

    You have to change your stage to get it to start working. It definitely increases your health recovery.

    The buff you have when you first put a point into it is actually the same vampire buff you had before doing so. Therefore it contains the same penalties. To get this to start working, you must feed and get to the stage you were on again with some time.

    Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

    The thing is I have 'fed' a multitude of times since I put a point into Unnatural Resistance, attaining various stages of vampirism since spending that skill point.

    However, after looking at some older posts on these forums, I have realised that my Health Recovery on my character sheet is reading 36, when I am at vampire stages 1 and 2. But, Stage 2 Vampirism (under my Active Effects) is incorrectly reading -25% to Health Recovery - the two do not marry up.

    Based on this, I think Unnatural Resistance may be working properly, however, it is just not displaying correctly under my Active Effects.
