Well, what I meant was to remove all power scaling. Heart of fury and WotW are just weapon attack implemented using statuseffect. Removing PL only serve to remove double scaling. They still perform fullattack with damage/acc/pen of the equipped weapon. So unless you want +5% damage per PL on your "FullAttack"(but not pen and acc ?), removing power level have no downside. For Whirling Strike, you can argue that DoT will suffer if no PL scaling. But it is already an Lv-8 ability so scaling won't make a huge difference. It can be done. You can change "Clear out" to GenericAbility and edited affected components in attackdata(attack animation, cast speed, recovery etc). There is no issue with scaling. It will scales like WotW, whirling strike, HoF etc. In fact, I modded mine that way because I feel it is more "clean" and intuitive . ^ Clear out with visible AOE The only downsides are that since it is now an "active ability", recovery speed is fixed instead of depending on weapon and that initial "fortitude" attack to push and interrupt doesn't benefit from weapon scaling(since you are not using weapon at that instance)

During "Winding Pass" Scripted Interaction, if you choose "My friend here saw it happen", no matter which companion you select, the game will always carry out a "WatcherOnly" Bluff skill check and if you fail, you will always get "Rekke stares at you blankly" line. Attached 2 photos for reference. ^ The choice in question ^ I selected Serafen. But the resulting Bluff check is carried out as Watcher check(Avaritica is my Watcher's name). The check failed and the displayed message is bugged(As you can see, I don't even have Rekke in the party). Related bug report. From what I saw in the code, the original intention probably is that if you select "Rekke" to carry out check before he learn Aedyran, it will always fail no matter how high his bluff skill is. However, they messed up the script and is now bugged. This overly specific mod fix this. (Overwrite it to Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire\PillarsOfEternityII_Data\exported\design\conversations\re_scripted_interactions) Bug fix

Or maybe just buff Mohora Tanga "Gaff/Mince-to" to per encounter(with nerfed effect to compensate) ? Personally, I modded some unique weapons' abilities to per encounter because some of those abilities are crucial to weapon's "unique identity" and it is too limiting for those to be per rest(mohora tanga, queen's rule, thundercrack pistol for example). Well, I also modded rest system to be same as POE1 so for typical players, I guess you can argue that you can just rest after every fight.

Holy! You are right. I didn't try using abilities with AOE weapons before so I thought Poraga is a unique case since its extra attacks are separate "RandomAttack" rather than one big "AttackAOEGameData". But now, I just tried and even serafen blunderbuss can proc effects to all targets in AOE. So yes, I retracted my opinion. Wahai Poraga +3 looks cute in comparison. Now I feel all AOE and multi-bounce weapons are OP.
-
Wahai Poraga can be fixed by editing the "Duration" of AttackPulsedAOEComponent to 0.1 and then increasing "NumHits" to 3.(coz base code means primary target +2. However, 3 additional target is bit too strong IMO since AOE inherit effects of all "primary attack, full attack" abilities) This way, it will works as described.

About animated weapon. I checked my characters.gamedatabundle and in it, animated weapon has base level 13. I tested the ability via console and also got level 13 weapons. So it is either I modded them and forget(I tend to do that as I modded the main game files directly) or previous data were wrong. If it is former, maybe summon can't go past level 20.

Most likely. I first noticed the issue on a shrine ambush where Dichotomous Soul summoned by my level 13 monk is over-performing. That was when I checked the log and found out that they became level 17 juggernaut with legendary scaling. In case anyone is curious, there is a workaround(sort of) for this problem. Deadfire has a scaling table reserved for "NamedCharacter"). It scales characters specified as "IsNamedCharacter=true"(mainly used for boss characters) in characters.gamedatabundle independently of normal scaling rule. The scaling rule is similar to normal scaling but here scaling cap is +6. So if you are okay with boss characters having same +4 scaling cap as others, you can remove all adjustments from that table, flipped all "IsNamedCharacter=false" and then tagged the summons as "NamedCharacter". This way, summons will not get extra scaling from difficulty and always scale to your level. Alas, it doesn't work for figurines and summons where creatures summoned used the same data as bestiary enemies. (as this will cause same enemy type to stop scaling)

First of all, sorry for the necro. I figured out more details about summon mechanics which I believe is not covered here so I figured I might post it for future modders to reference. 1. Summon creatures intrinsic level is actually "creature base level+level scaling". For example, Priest's spiritual ally has base level of 9. If you summon spiritual ally in an area where +4 level scaling is active, it will scale to level 13 REGARDLESS of caster's level. If level 11 caster summon spiritual ally in an area with +4 scaling, summoned ally will be level 13. Scaling pushed it higher caster's level. If level 15 caster summon spiritual ally in an area with +4 scaling, summoned ally will be level 15.(spiritual ally obtain level 13 due to scaling then +2 level scaling to match caster's level) 2. "Summoned" vs "NotSummoned" It is known that summon creatures tagged as "NotSummoned' doesn't count towards summon limit. However, there is a disadvantage to use "NotSummoned" type. - "NotSummoned" creature doesn't scale to caster's level. In unmodded game, I believe the only ability related summon tagged as "NotSummoned" is Chanter's phrase "Many lives...". The summoned skeleton doesn't scale to match caster's level. BPM modded conjure familiars to " "NotSummoned" which unfortunately also cause them to stay at level 1. - However, if you play with level scaling on, they do get max +4 scaling which I explained above. Btw, the above apply to all summons including figurines. I did do testing on the above data however my game is heavily and messily modded by myself so if I happen to get it wrong, please forgive me.
