Hi I find there is a bug with the modified weapon style component with EEex’s lshift show target buffs component. As the additional bonus, penalty of style is implemented as permanent buff, it shows as (no name) when I use the show target buff feature. Wonder if there’s a workaround for it? @morpheus562

Yeah you are right these two push the apr further. I personally didn't install these two as I feel 4 APR for 2h is a sweet point between 2h and dual wielding. But it's bit off topic My thought on the weapon will be either remove the additional APR, or make the poison damage don't stack with itself, and remove the -4 penalty on stun to make it less likely to stunlock target. I will give more feedback on the Mod once I finish my new playthrough! And Morpheus thanks for pick up this old mod and give it a new life.

Yeah with Skils & Abilities's 2h style, normal 2h weapon will grant you 3.5 apr to non-fighter warrior or 4 apr to gmw fighters with apr gauntlet. And Bloodbane makes it capped to 5.

Yeah these items won't trivialize the game because it's what tactics you use that matters most. I just feel that Bloodbane's overshadowing other vanilla weapons makes me sad. 1 extra APR, 6 saveless poison damage and -4 save stun on hit is just too good. I think the reason behind the extra APR is because it's a thrown weapon, and every thrown weapon has extra apr bonus. I installed the Skills & Abilities mod too and adjusted weapon style & the 2h strength bonus component already makes most 2h weapons competitive with dual wielding, so this 1 extra apr really kills the edge. That's why I decide to remove it in my game and -4 save stun means it will stunlock any mobs without immune so i removed the -4 penalty.

I’m okay with two pieces of same item because it’s from two mods, it’s just anti lore for a dragon to drop an dragon scale armor… And if you wanna replace it with new item, I wish that’s not op because tactics is really classic mod and among Ascension and SCS a must for many of us. It’s a mod aim to increase difficulty but op items will just reduce difficulty. And that’s why I’m modifying the items to match original game better

Also I found that both Ritual and SCS grant you yellow dragon armor(SCS one is dropped from Anadramatis as scale so you can craft it, but Tactic has it dropped from yellow dragon in Ritual, which is weird because the armor is directly dropped from the dragaon...which make no sense as it shall be the scales).

I used to solo/party the insane & 3 mods in non-ee version of BG series, these fights are intensive and you have to know how to do it right otherwise it's very hard. Like acid kensai is definitely very hard in low level but used to be super cheesy has you could bounce its backlash with your own fireshield in the past (not sure if it's still works but i remember seeing that v2.6 you can still trigger infinite bouncing between two fireshield). I haven't played the ee version of 3 mods but am trying on a new playthrough since a lot mods support EE now. I will give more constructive feedback after I finish it

Sanchuudoku +4 from Acid Kensai is way too powerful at that stage of the game. Just regen 3 hp per round is op enough at SOA. Not to mention it is the highest dps weapon if just considering the vanilla weapons in game (-acid resistance on hit + 1d8 acid dam is very strong on enemy with pr and consider how early you get it...) In my playthrough is remove both +4 dam from the weapon and the backslash. Even tho this weapon is super effective against enemies with physical resistance. Bloodbane +5 from Red Badge, this is the only +apr twohanded weapon if just considering vanilla game items, making it the best two handed weapon. And it has saveless poison damage which is very strong because it's saveless and stacks on itself. I remove the extra apr of it and remove the -4 save penalty from the onhit stun effect in my playthrough. =========================================== Ascension, SCS and Tactics is the three most favourite difficulty mod to me. What changes I wish to the mod is making the item given by this mod to be more consistent with the vanilla game items, aka less powerful & complicated. Item like Amulet of Lilim and Ring of Leached Abjuration gives too many bonuses and is less interesting to me. I wish we can keep items simple and elegant, instead of having bloated bonuses.

Hellow everyone, after reading the new changes of V4, I really like the concept of shield bashing, I download Ardanis's test version of it. It seems to be ignoring spells like image mirror. I think it should be more reasonable to treat this bash attack more like normal attack? So if a mage has image mirror on him, bash attack should not hit him that easily, right?
