These are the ones I've unlocked and experienced first-hand so far:

Turret - Cryo Ammo
Stealth Grid
Ascension (Kineticist)

I imagine there are more so please add them to the thread. I also suspect some passives only function when you are host due to some bizarre damage discrepancies I've encountered, but can't say for sure.

As far as I know Stealth Grid works even if you aren't host but the animation does not show. Could be wrong though.

This explains so much!!! I've seen Stealth Grid fail entirely on some occasions, work mechanically but not visually on others, and work normally on others still.
Now it makes sense why. I wonder what causes this phenomenon. Netcode, perhaps?

Okay, I am glad I'm not the only one who has had HUGE problems with Stealh Grid off host...it flat out did not work. Had me thinking it was a 'build' issue but then hosted a game and it was fine. sosseres, I HOPE the effect works off host even if visually absent, but I'm not sure.

@ Speghetti: "Netcode, perhaps?"

Effects not to be replicated to all machines. Usually that´s the netcode, or an underlying data problem, when an object is not marked for replication. Given how complex a transaction of this type can become, it could also be a bug where effects overwrite the replication. Anyway, time to sit on our asses and wait for a fix. :]

Functionally, the absence of the visual changes the effect. If you're not visually cloaked that will alter you're approach to revives, devices, etc. It would be difficult to assume "Ya i'm probably cloaked I just can't see it. I'll just meander through this mob to get to that downed teammate surrounded by grabby dogs."

We may have been the first (and only?) race to be wiped out by the reapers, but at least we left the galaxy with a parting gift of our impressive technology...like, uh, blade armor

Agreed. There isn't much of an audio cue either, so it really is a "cross your fingers and pray" type of play when using Stealth Grid off host.

Asari Adept - Throw.
When off host it is just as likely to make my character run quickly for a few seconds as to actually cast throw.

*Yawn*

Do you have the 6 point cryo ammo upgrade? Not only does my turret stop shooting cryo ammo, it stops doing damage at all (although it does appear to be firing) when not hosting.

Strange, I haven't experienced that one and I've played the Asari Adept extensively.

Seems you and a few others in this thread have no issues with Ascension, which leads me to believe it may be some other skill choice conflicting with it for me. I just tested it again and counted my 21 kills during a wave, I never started crackling with lightning and holding melee just meleed. When I'm host it works fine, however.
