Thanks for the Idea. This is being added to the MOD release for tomorrow. I plan on working on the DeathDealer items that Kaylon asked about next,

Well honestly I think game is overall so imbalanced that you don't really need to worry too much about making items too strong. Make them fun. I used hand and eye of vecna and wand of orcus only, whats most OP is the fact those items give you perma top tier buffs/immunities which imo is fine but not when you can have it for gold.
From the list above I'd like to see your take on Invulnerable Coat of Arnd (maybe Mythic from the start, with +4 PL for paladin/priest and damage shields)
Wondering if its possible to make Staff of Magi that allow you to cast high lvl spells from different classes with charges that replenish after absorbing enemy spells with % chance to do so?
Coat of Arnd - Completely immune to physical attacks. with protection from elements. Yes I could do that lol but honestly its not on the top of my to do list. Maybe when all is said and done something like that would be the last item to go into my MOD. You might as well console GOD mode. My take on a toned down item (from complete immunity) would be something like:
33% chance to turn enemy graze / hit or crit to miss.
33% chance to reflect spells.
+4 PL priest / paladin / chanterDamage shield not sure but could do damage reduction for sure.
Staff of Magi. Definitly could create a weapon with several high level abilities from druid / priest / wizard / cipher list. Could be per encounter or per rest.
To make it have charges that recharge when hit by enemy spells, I think I would have to look at Major Grimoire Imprint to see how it is coded and how it can be modified.

I would love to see Robe of Vecna - magic resist and massive recovery casting speed.
Sword of Kas - some nice mechanics on its description:
https://criticalrole.fandom.com/wiki/Sword_of_Kas
Or maybe this list: https://screenrant.com/dungeons-dragons-most-powerful-artifacts-ranked/
I wouldn't mind if you made a version that is OP aka gives effects more or less the same as in lore with intent to match with difficulty mods for deadfire.
Yes the robe and hand in current MOD version are a bit OP. Was looking into making the major injuries when you put them on for the first time permanent but got side tracked. They were part of the MOD before I took it over, so far I have only adjusted the lore to them. Robe of Vecna: Lore to this item states that it adds spell alacrity / casting speed. I created a heavy armor in the MOD with this ability. If I tied this to a robe, which I can do, that might be the only feature it has aside from maybe +2 Metaphysics or something but could definitly make a robe with casting speed AND spell reflection. I have added quite a few wizard / druid robes, wands, accessories to add power and variety for playstyles. I imagine a wizard fully decked out in my items could have an easy time of it with fire and shock,
5 hours ago, Phyriel said:Would be nice if some of these items in OP version were hidden between some encounter tho or atleast could be stolen with high sneak/pickpocket - what makes items OP even in current version is that you get them with just money.
My next goal after I get some feedback on item power from users who actually use the MOD is to create a custom NPC or several to sell some of the items and also, if possible to include the items in lootlists. I need to do another full playthrough though so I can correlate enemy difficulty with the items I have created and place items into their lootlist accordingly.

I will look through the item models after work today and see what I can change. Regarding armor, some models cannot have their color changed (or at least I don't have the ability to) but some will adapt to the players chosen color palette and I can find a model that adapts and mod it accordingly.
This is actually a 5 item request!!! I might be able to do it all by Friday evening though.
So after looking though this, yes I can do this and I really like the idea. I do not have enough time to get it done before my next release this Friday due to work, life etc. I am going to create this as a separate MOD add-on, it will require the main files from my MOD but can be downloaded separately at players discretion. My goal is to have this done and published by 5/19/2020.

I have a book titled Ring Of Winter https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/The_Ring_of_Winter_(novel)
I am going to create a ring based on this lore and your idea. I was mulling over adding another ring into the MOD so I will have this done and published to the Nexus with the next release in 2 days.
Something like this:
+2 Frost power levels +2 illusion PL
-1 Resolve OR weakness resolve afflictions / Possibly Enchant recipe to remove penalty
Spell Like Ability 'Ninagauth's Freezing Pillar" Once per encounter OR once per day

There's a bunch of Ice-themed equipment but sadly only a few give Frost PL.
- Chromatic Quarterstaff gives +1 PL to Frost (and all the other elements) but is quite late-game.
- Sun and Moon gives +2 PL to Frost, but only during night. Can be bought at a reasonable cost after Port Maje.
- Watershaper's Focus gives +1 PL to Frost.
It's worth noting that Illusion PL synergizes with Kalakoth's Freezing Rake and would make for good options once you hit Lv 16!
- Whitewitch Mask gives +1 to Illusion, can be looted very early.
- The Eye of Wael gives +2 to Illusion, doesn't require any combat iirc and can be picked up right after Port Maje.
A Wizard with Sun and Moon, The Eye of Wael and Whitewitch Mask would get +5 PL to Kalakoth's Freezing Rake just from equipment.
I have implemented a few items that give + PL to Fire and - PL to Frost such as a wand. I will see about making a wand that gives +frost and Illusion and -Fire / something.

Can you change the color of the models? I always wanted to make the armor/weapons set of the Deathdealer (berserker/streetfighter) using existing items:
Rekvu's Helm (black) - maybe something like Deltro's Cage (but for melee damage) gives a raw dmg lash
The Bloody Links (black) - add some mods from Reckless Brigandine/Guardian's Plate
Magran's Favor (2h axe black) - like Lord Darryn's Voulge but with raw dmg instead
Sasha's Sniging Scimitar (black) - with mods similar to Kapana Taga
Cadhu Scalth (black) - retaliate with main attack on miss
I will look through the item models after work today and see what I can change. Regarding armor, some models cannot have their color changed (or at least I don't have the ability to) but some will adapt to the players chosen color palette and I can find a model that adapts and mod it accordingly.

New robe for next release.
New trinkets
Some items may be considered over powered, I leave it to the player to decide how to use these items.

Finding myself with time to spare before my next MOD release. Will take an item request if it is reasonable.
Any item type works
Should not be over powered, I probably need to tone down some of my items already.
Custom Models are beyond me so feel free to pick an existing item model in game.
I do have the ability to re-animate some spells.
Got an idea for a character build and need an item to fit it, let me know!

Dueling boots made to be used with Vivamus Rapier but will function when the off hand is empty and the main hand holds a weapon that is not ranged.

Thanks—I didn't realize that Rust's is limited to 1/rest. I also hate 1/rest effects as I almost never use them.
Some per rest abilities are just too strong to be set as per encounter I think.

New Large Shield - Can be enchanted / upgraded
Accuracy penalty reduced by 2
Elemental Imbuement - When large shield modal active add damage to each main hand attack.
Abilities tied to paladin levels cipher keywords. Unique animations.
Gravity Well - Functions like pull of Eora but ticks twice as often and a much greater reduction in stride - for when you need the enemies where the tank is.
Can upgrade Gravity well to 2 per rest.
Modified medium shield from previous version. Added bashing attack this is separate from Shield Bash ability which 1 / encounter. Bashing will scale with enchantment level - requires Noqn Shield bashing fix MOD which is integrated into Elric Galad's Balance MOD (links will be published in suggested mods on my Nexus page)

Ah I see we just use the same values as weapons get with each enchantment level. Yes I can send you over data from a shield I created but I guess what I am seeing is Best Defense a small shield / legendary is base damage 7 - 10 while Magrans is medium / exceptional shield is 11 - 15 base damage before the % increase from enchantment level , yes it does get the % increase from enchantment but the base values between Magran and Best defense are different and I am looking for a what to set on each shield I create , small, medium or large that makes sense since the value is not constant.
-
With the Noqn mod here are the base damage values for the vanilla bashing shields
Best Defense (small shield legendary level) damage 7 - 10
Magran's Blessing (Medium shield exceptional level) 11 - 15
I have the version that skips Tuotilo's Palm which is also at 7 -10.
Is it somehow filtering out the shield " best defense" ?
Or perhaps it cannot apply the relevant enchantment level to a shield that is by default at that enchantment level. I noticed with my shield it did not apply the exceptional level enchantment because it was by default exceptional level but when I upgraded it to the next level it did receive the correct scaling.
Pretty sure I need to combine what Elric Galad is making with your Mod to effect vanilla shields correctly.
Edit: I think what I need is the damage and pen values each type of shield should have at each enchantment level. Will Pm Elric

Change the "$type" parameter of Shield_test_bashing from Game.GameData.EquippableGameData to Game.GameData.WeaponGameData and it works!
Huzzah!!!!! It does work! Thank you very much.

@Elric Galad and @coralzombie, I found an universal fix to Shield Bash Quality Scaling, would you be interested in merging it into your own mods?
https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/425
It's done through adding new status effects to each of the Shield Quality enchantments, basically copies of corresponding Weapon Quality enchantments but with HideFromUI set to true so that they they don't clutter ordinary shields. (Ordinary shields are for that matter unaffected due to how AttackFilter Source: "ParentEquippable" works.)
I'm really happy about how seamless it turned out!
I will send you a completed layout for a bashing shield I created and maybe you can see why it is not working.

Be careful about PEN and Acc.
Passive / Weapon effects don't benefit from PEN and Acc scaling.
You can make an equivalent to weapon quality, but it won't be upgraded by quality upgrades, so you may have to create separate upgrades... but I have already told you.
The closest item from what you describe in case #1 is Aldris Blade :
https://pillarsofeternity2.wiki.fextralife.com/Aldris+Blade+of+Captain+Crow
It adds 10 damages but only on Crit and is considered as a good weapon.
So for proc on Hit, 10 damages is certainly too much.
You're basically adding base damages to an Attack roll, so the value shall be interpreted as a multiplicative % increase. It is close to a Lash effect, but will be better with fast weapons.
Lash effects are around 15-20% in general, so the right value for a 100% bash should be around 2-5 damages due to not benefitting from weapon quality % damages (or decrease the proc chance for higher damages, or apply it only on crit).
In any case it shall be lower than the benefits of Dual Wielding (-30% recovery).
For #2, the closest thing is flame shield. That's a Tier IV spell but it does a comfortable 8-12 damages, scaling. It applies on all damages, not only Hit and Crit.
You shield probably shouldn't be as effective as a Tier IV spell, but Something around 5 damages should be Okay.After testing the shield damage proc PEN does scale with level. Also scales with passive abilities such as Spirit of Decay.
Currently a level 17 character gets the following PEN
7 base
2 level
1 Spirit of Decay
Damage amount scales with Might
23 might adds +39% damage after roll
Will adjust any passive abilities accordingly based on what you have added to your MOD

Looking for informed opinions to assist me in balancing shields I created.
To get around the problem of trying to create a better bashing shield I have created the following. Obviously these will have more enchantments but for now these are what they do.
1. large shield - 100% chance damage enemy in melee whenever the enemy is hit or crit by wielder. Currently only works with Large shield modal on.
damage is 10 to 10 pierce / corrode keyword to plant and decay. It benefits from Spirit of Decay for Penetration currently. No testing for plant keyword is done yet. Damage scales with might.
Even at 10 damage this is a pretty strong effect. Basically each animated attack results in 2 separately rolled attacks , main hand and shield.
Other:
2. large shield - 100% chance damage enemy in melee whenever the wielder is hit or crit. Same effect as above,
What do you think these damage values should be? Should the be changed to % / activate or left as is? What should the keywords be? Should the modal be left on or taken off?
Also, how would I go about testing plant keyword?
Looking for Ideas to make a couple more shields with.
Any input is appreciated!!

I am about to start work on a 3rd iteration of my item mod: There really is not a good example of a helmet with a skull visual in the game, and I cannot make them, but if you pick an existing helmet I can create the item and add it into the mod.
