Important notes ;
- This mod is designed for RtwP. Most of its content should work for TB, but I haven't tested it that much,
- The mod's packages included here are in English only. It will work with any language setup though, but modified texts will appear in English. However, the mod has a Russian translation that you can download there (follow the installation instructions):  https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/467/
- This mod has been designed and tested with the content of PoE2 Community Patch (I own no rights on CP, but I want to promote it).
- This mod will apply to any newly created character. For existing ones :

• Active abilities will work
• Passive abilities may or may not work, but arespec will allow them to work
• Passive class and Racial abilities cannot be re-acquired via respeccing, so they might not be available to existing characters at all. This is only a problem for Sharpshooter, Mageslayer, Trickster nerf and some of the Racial traits, I think. Re-adding the ability throuh console command might work, but I advise saving before and checking character sheet after to avoid issue.
  

 

The files are split between 4 packages :

- Balance Polishing Mod Buffs : most of the changes are in this package. It also include glitch correction and minor rework
- Balance Polishing Mod Nerfs : not mandatory, but enables a more interesting gameplay by excluding the most broken stuff. Also include
a couple of ability which were completely reworked. The change in this package are highlighted in green in the mod description.
- Balance Polishing Summon Rebalance : a package dedicated to summon rework. Some were buffed, nerfed or both nerfed and buffed so it was
complicated to include in one of the previous packages. Described in Chapter "2) Summon Rebalance" in the patch notes below.
- Potion of Enlightenment : This package contains a new item called Potion of Enlightenment, developped by Noqn. This is a copy (for advertising purpose) of following mod : https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/501

Installation instructions, In order to get the intended experience :
- The mod is supposed to work with all DLC installed, including Free DLC :
   - Beast of Winter
   - Slayer, Seeker, Survivor
   - Forgotten Sanctum
   - Critical Role Pack
   - Rum Runner's Pack
   - Beard and Hair Pack
   - Scalawag's Pack
   - The Deck Many Things
Missing one of these DLC may cause Black Screen.
Sorry for not being able to optimize the mod without the purchasable DLC, and be sure to install all the free ones (might not be necessary for all of them but this is the configuration I personnally use). 
- Get the Community Patch first and follow the installing instructions :  https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/335
Note : Current version of Balance Polishing Mod is compatible with Community Patch 2.0. You might notice a couple of redundant changes between the 2 mods but this does not prevent the mods from working together.
- Download the mods archives above.
- Open <Pillars of EternityII>/PillarsOfEternityII_Data/ folder.
- Find the /overridesubfolder. The correct file path would be: <Pillars of Eternity II>/PillarsOfEternityII_Data/override/
- Extract the archive into your override directory, such that you get <Pillars of Eternity II>/PillarsOfEternityII_Data/override/BalancePolishingModBuffs and <Pillars of Eternity II>/PillarsOfEternityII_Data/override/BalancePolishingModNerfs
- Launch the game (see below in case of trouble),
- Check the mod menu. The files should be loadedafter the ones from Community Patch, so they have to be lower on the list,
- If you don't want the Nerfs, de-select them from mod menu (or just don't install them).
- If you don't want a particular change,search the file with the corresponing name in the PillarsOfEternityII_Data\override\xxx\design\gamedata directory and delete it.
- In case you want to update the mod with a newer version, it is recommanded to erase previous version before copying the new files (to avoid troubles with deleted or renamed files.
- for modified items, you may have to re-equip the item for the change to take place.


Known installation bug : if installing this mod leads to a black screen, might be due to loading order :

• Move BPM components to a dummy directory. Relaunch the game. If it works, it would confirm conflict with BPM. 
• After the game is launched, go to mod management menu. Put back BPM files in the override directory. This won't crash the game.
• Use the refresh command from mod management menu.
• BPM files should be loaded after Community Patch ones. BPM nerfs should be loaded after BPM buffs.
• Relaunch the game and check if it works. 
  
  

 


Detailed list of changes :

 
1) Class changes :



A) Fighter

Inspired Discipline : 
3 Discipline -> 2 Discipline
<Version 2.5.2> 30s ->45s

Power Strike & Inspired Strike :
4 Discipline -> 3 Discipline
6s Stun -> 10s Stun
6s Staggered -> 10s Staggered
<Version 2.0> Cone attack receives a special +15 Accuracy to compensate for the absence of Acc scaling.
Inspired Strike : <Version 1.5.4> Acute now applied to every ally within 2.5m
<Version 2.0> Cone attack receives a special +20 Accuracy to compensate for the absence of Acc scaling. 

Take the Hit :
4s Recovery -> 0s Recovery
<Version 1.4.3> 1 Discipline -> 0 Discipline
<Version 2.5> Now grants 33% less damages to allies and +33% more damages to Fighter per protected allies. Duration set to 12s

Into the Fray & Upgrades :
2  Discipline -> 1 Discipline
10 – 14 damages -> <Version 1.5.4> 3 – 5 damages

Mule Kick :
Most upgrades use the PL of the original ability. A PL3 upgrade of a PL 1 ability used by a PL5 character will for example get a scaling of +4.
There was a glitch that counted Mule Kick asPL3 instead of PL1, so I corrected it for ruleset consistency. This basically gives Mule Kick +2 PL.

Toughened Fury :
25% proc chance, as announced by CP (CP implemented only 20%)
<Version 1.4.3> replaced by 8% <Version 1.4.9> 10% chance of +1 discipline every time the fighter is damaged (instead of crit).
<Version 1.4.4> corrected a display bug which indicated that the ability was still based on Crit. Now correctly displayed on receiving damages.

Critical Defense :
<Version 1.4.3> 25% Crit to Hit -> 50% 

Unrelentling :
<Version 1.4.3> +3 Discipline on Knocked out -> +5

Confident Aim :
<Version 1.5.4> 30% Graze to Hit -> 25% Miss to Graze

Hold the Line :
<Version 1.5.4> Now also provides Immunity to Push and Pull effects

Tactician:
Tactical Dilemna now activates on Flanked or Hurt or Below (less than 75% health) and gives +50% recovery malus.
<Version 1.4.2>  Tactical Dilemna now activates on Flanked or Bloodied or Below (less than 50% health) and gives +50% recovery malus and Confusion (but not Shaken)
Brilliant Tactician cannot activate when Bloodied or Flanked. (Brilliant Tactician and Tactical Dilemna are mutually exclusive as in vallla game).

Unbending:
<Version 1.3> PLScaling as a Tier IV ability -> PL Scaling as a Tier V ability
(There is a small bug that caused it to get +1 PL.)
<Version 1.4.3> partial redesign of the ability. Now the percentage of health returned does not depend anymore on Intellect, Power Level and Beneficial effect duration extension effects, and depends a lot less on the number of hit taken (refer to following link to understand better how the ability works in the base game :
https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/109535-mechanics-various-testing/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-2213583  )
Now the percentage only depends on Healing Received buffs (and on number of hits taken but far less than before).
Unbending & Unbending Shield returns a base 40% <Version 1.4.5> tweaked up to 50% of damages taken.
Unbending Trunk returns a base 60% <Version 1.4.5> tweaked up to 75% of damages taken.
Health is restored over 12s (fixed) per tick of 1s

Constant Recovery & Rapid Recovery :
<Version 1.3> Set to Infinite Duration, but ticks every 6s instead of 3s
<Version 2.0> added scaling according to level (as for Blood Mage regeneration) :
Constant Recovery : 5hp per 6s +1 per 5 level
Rapid Recovery : 7hp per 6s +1.5 per 5 level
Constant Recovery (Black Jacket) : 2hp per 6s +0.5 per 5 level
Rapid Recovery (Black Jacket) : <Version 2.5> 4hp per 6s +1 per 5 level (Rapid recovery now grants as much benefit for Black Jackets as for other subclasses)  <Version 3.1> Corrected a bug that caused Cosntant and Rapid recovery to stack for Black Jackets instead of having Rapid Recovery replace Constant recovery (still displayed as separate effects but the summed values are equal to the expected values for Black Jacket Rapid Recovery) 

Clear Out :
<Version 2.0> Damages reduced by 25%
<Version 2.0> AoE attack does not require a successful Fortitude attack roll to apply an attack versus fortitude (basically compensate the reduced damages, the effect will look cleaner).
Clear the Path :
<Version 2.0> Push distance 3m -> 6m

Unbroken :
<Version 2.5> Display change : permanent speed reduction does not appear anymore on combat UI

Overbearing Guard :
<Version 2.6> Now adds +1 engagement

Guardian Stance :
<Version 2.6> Now adds +3 foes necessary to flank the fighter (works the same as One Stand Alone)

- Zealous Exhortation : Swift for 15s <Version 1.4.3> for 25s

Reinforcing Exhortation & Upgrades :
2 Zeal -> 1 Zeal
12s Duration -> 10s <Version 2.5> upgrades have been set to 15s. 

Reviving Exhortation & Upgrades :
<Version 1.4.6> Revive with 300 health -> Revive with 999 health (note that this is intended as a Constitution buff, since 300 health already brought most characters to full health.)

Reviving Command & Rebirthing Exhortation :
<Version 1.4.6> Duration 15s -> 25s (damages will occur at the end of the duration, change NOT applied to the unupgraded version)

Glorious beacon & Upgrades :
3s/4s Cast -> 0,5s/4,5s Cast
1,5m AoE -> 2,5m AoE
8s Duration -> 12s Duration (for all effects, including upgrades) <Version 1.4.2> Now only applies to the +15 Deflection effect of Enduring Beacon. Other effects are back to 8s duration.

Sacred immolation & Upgrades :
4 Zeal -> 3 Zeal <Version 1.4.3> 2 Zeal
32 raw damages per tick -> 20 damages <Version 1.4.3> deleted
(I overrode the 3,5m radius from Community Patch <Version 1.4.1> including for upgrades)
<Version 2.4> Now counts as a self buff : Pulse attacks and self damages happen at the same time. Self damages duration can't be reduced. Duration increased with PL.
<Version 2.4> Sacred Sacrifice rework : Do not revive the caster anymore, but duration is greatly increased 12s -> 60s (unless the caster is downed)
The following only applies to Sacred Sacrifice upgrade :
<Version 1.4.3> 32 raw damages to self per tick -> 40 damages
<Version 1.4.3> 20-30 damages per tick -> 26-36 damages
<Version 1.4.3> Corrected a bug that prevented the self raw damages to have its duration reduced by Hostile effect duration reduction effects (such as Resolve) as it is the case for Sacred Immolation and Divine Immolation.

Wrath of the Fives Suns (Pallegina special ability) :
Penetration : 7->12 
Penetration properly scale with PL (currently it does not)
Damages : 5-7 -> 5->15 <Version 1.4.5> tweaked down to 5-10 (x5 Projectiles)

Shieldbearer :
<Version 1.4.3> Shielbearer's version of Lay on Hands does no provide anymore a 4s buff preventing death.
Instead, for 6s, if the allied target becomes Near Death, a 200pts damages shield is applied for 6s (effect is less powerful but last longer)
<Version 1.4.7> Shielbearer's version of Lay on Hands does no provide anymore a 4s buff preventing death.
Instead, for 5s, if the allied target becomes Near Death, a 150pts damages shield is applied for 5s (effect is less powerful but last longer)  

Steel Garrote's Garrote :
<Version 2.1.2> For consistency with similar affliction, the raw damages is applied even if the Paralysis is downgraded by Resistance or Immunity.
<Version 2.2> Corrected a bug that caused the DoT to last indefinitely.

Divine Retribution :
<Version 2.4> 2 Zeal per ally downed -> 1 Zeal
<Version 2.5> 2 Zeal per ally downed has a 30s cooldown. However, Divine Retribution also grants a chance to get 1 Zeal back every 12s. Chance is equal to the percentage of health loss (helps relying less on ally summon deaths)
<Version 2.5.1> Prevent the Zeal gain from health loss to apply when knocked down. (it also caused Providence to eventually trigger...)   

Exalted Charge :
<Version 2.5> 10% Hit to Graze -> 15%

<Version 1.3> Corrected a display bug from the previous versions.

...Each Kill Fed His Fury :
Contrary to the ability it is upgradedfrom, this ability provides mere +5 stats boost instead of inspirations.
As it seemed really random, I replaced the statboost by actual Strong, Fit and Steadfast Inspirations.
<Version 2.5.2> No more extension per kill (this one is sometomes buggy, and Fit inspiration seems enough). Changes moved to Nerf package.

The Bride caught their ruse & upgrade :
<Version 2.5.2> 30s -> 35s 

Boil Their Flesh From Skin to Bone & Upgrade :
Secondary Cones replaced by simple 2,5m radius AoE. This enables the Acid Explosion to be properly centered on the victim.

Blood Thirst :
Cleaned the mess that causes it to proc twice on the same target and prevented it from being stackable with Crushing Blow.
Now proc only once except sometimes when 2 targets arekilled in a row (it applies twice then, cause Recovery is cleared before second target is killed, so you keep one charge)
WARNING : This change sometimes causes Blood Thirst not to trigger on Full Attacks. 

Barbaric Blow & upgrades :
Removed the PR and Damages bonus to make the ability more focused.
Now Barbaric Blow & Upgrades do :
- 75% Hit to Crit chances

Wild Sprint & upgrades :
<Version 1.5.4> Duration 6s -> 10s

F) Wizard

Blood Mage :
Blood Sacrifice Recovery to 3s (does not apply on TB Mode, thanks @Rooksx for testing and changing it for TB mode)
Added a -100% healing received for base 6s when using Blood Sacrifice, to make it more tricky to use. <Version 1.4.1> The duration of this effect does not scale with Power Level and Intellect anymore. <2.6.2> This effect is displayed independantly on the tooltip.
Minor/Medium/Major blood sacrifice now restore spell Tier up to Tier 3/6/9 instead of 4/7/9 as probably intended
<Version 2.5> Damages aren't random anymore but always equal to their average values. Damages aren't increased by Power Level (only by level).

<Version 1.5.3> Cast Time / Recovery : 3s/4.5s -> 3s/0s
(It's not very well known, but Familiars provide a +1 stacking and generic PL Bonus, as well as random +3 to one stat and a minor bonus.)

<Version 1.3.2> Added Poison Keyword

Also applies to Wateshaper's Version

Malignant Cloud

G) Cipher


Soul Whip, Draining Whip and Biting Whip rebalance :

<Version 3.1> Draining Whip doubling focus generated was too much, even with Community Patch buff to Biting Whip (20% added raw lash weapon damages).
Focus generation for other Whip abilities rised while Draining Whip remains the same :
- Soul Whip, Biting Whip focus : 0.5 focus per damage -> 0.625
- Draining Whip : +100% focus generation  -> +60% (0.625x1.60= 1 focus per damage as it was before)
- Ascendant bonus focus generation : +50% -> +40% (but 40% of 0.625 is the same amount as 50% of 0.5)

With this change and Community Patch buff, Biting Whip generates about 62.5%x1.20% = 75% due to causing more damages. One with Biting Whip would deal 120% weapon damages and generates 75% compared to Draining Whip.

<Version 3.1> Biting Whip multiplies Soul Annihilation bonus damages per focus by 1.33. Granted that a Cipher with Biting Whip generates 75% focus of a Cipher witj Draining Whip, Soul Annihilation bonus damages per focus should be the same with both Soul Whip upgrades.


Wild Mind :

<Version 3.1> Wild Mind subclass rework. Wild Mind now has 3 effects :

1) 50% chance of +2 PL for 3s
 
2) 20% chances of 1 out of 10 additional effects, each with 2% chance (these are similar to unmodded game, usual leaning a bit more on the positive side) 
- -2 PL for 3s
- +2 Empower Point 
- -1 Empower Point 
- Foe Random Tier 3 Affliction for 8s vs Will (+2 Accuracy per PL beyond 0)
- Foe Random Tier 3 Inspiration 8s
- Push Target
- Echo Spell cast
- Foe set invisible for 15s until next attack
- Give Full focus
- Miscast :
      - 2.5 radius around catser, Hostile only AoE attack
      - 7 PEN shock damages (Electricity Keyword)
      - Interrupt on Hit
      - Empty caster focus, 0.75 base damages per focus lost (base 75 damages for 100 focus lost)
      - PL Scaling : +2 Accuracy, +0.5 PEN, %5 Multiplicative damages per Power Level beyond 0.
 
3) Empowered Spell has 100% chance of triggering "Miscast effect" as described above.



Beguiler :
<Version 2.0> Damage bonus is properly applied vs Mind Afflicted targets instead of being applied vs Mind Inspired targets (Thanks to Teslum for this one)
<Version 2.0> Draining Whip now generates 100% focus versus Sneak attack targets instead of only 75%. (as for other subclasses, but limited to Sneak Attack target, as Beguiler description states it should get normal focus vs these targets)

Wild Mind :
Miscast: set to foe only, but damages lowered to 0.5 x Focus.

Tenuous grasp :
0.5s/4scast time -> 0.5s/2s

<Version 1.3.1> Corrected display still stating Weakened instead of Enfeebled.
<Version 1.4> Corrected a bug that caused Enfeebled to have unlimited duration
<Version 1.4.1> Nerfed duration 20s -> 12s 
<Version 2.4.1> Duration 20s -> 30s, cast/recovery 0.5s/4s -> 0.5/3s
Previous version was considered too impactful by the community. If you still prefer it, you can still find the right file in version 2.4 of the mod. 

Haunting Chain :
Duration 20s -> 40s.

Soul Ignition :
Target Fortitude -> Target Will (due to Cipher's passive, this is a buff)
16 damages per tick -> 20 damages 
Duration : 15s -> 18s

Mindweb:
Now breaks after being damages 3 times.
<Version 1.4.1> Duration : 30s -> 22s (aligned with CP 2.0).

<Version 1.4> +2 max Focus per character level, up to +40 max Focus (Cipher gets 25% of max focus at start)

KeenMind : +1,5 starting and per character level,+30 starting Focus
<Version 1.4> +1 starting and per character level, up to+20 starting Focus 
<Version 1.4.1> back to 1,5 starting and per character level, +30 starting Focus

Psychic and Brutal Backlashes :
<Version 1.4.2> Now have a 60s cooldown instead of only having one trigger per encounter
Added Accuracy scaling based on PL
Brutal Backlash : 
<Version 1.3> Damages 20->40. Added PL scaling.

Soul Blade on Kill effect :
<Version 1.4> +10 Max focus for 30s - > +5 +1/lvl
<Version 2.6> This change was removed after realizing the focus increase is stacking. Use previous version if you want it back.

Echoing Horror :
<Version 1.4> Add a +1 Accuracy scaling bonus for each PL beyond 7 as other similar abilities
<Version 2.4> Duration 12s -> 20s
<Version 2.4> Does not stack with Resolve debuffing effects

Ancestor's Memory :
<Version 1.4.2> 12s -> 15s (this is a direct consequence of Brilliant Inspiration nerfing tweak).

Screaming Souls :
<Version 1.4.8> Now correctly affects all Vessels/spirits in the area (including allies). The effect is a set to a foe-only 1.5m radius excluding origin vessel/spirit per target, but the damages have been lowered to 12-20 raw (the non-foe only version was tedious because the ally-harming AoE wasn't possible to visualize)
<Version 2.1.2> Primary Aoe reduced from 5m to 2.5m and secondary AoE reduced from 2.5m to 1.5m. 
<Version 2.2> secondary AoE back at 2.5m 

Psion Soul Mind  :
<Version 1.5.2> Now Focus regeneration stopped by Hit (not Graze, but applies to every Hit)
Note that is a rework (nerf) from Community Patch and might be cancelled if Community Patch is reworked.

Time Parasite :
<Version 2.1.0> Fixed a bug that prevented duration from benefitting from PL.

Ascendant  :
<Version 2.3> Corrected a bug that caused Ascended Ascendant to get +20% damages to everything on top of what soul whip provides. Now Ascended Ascendant gets +20% weapon damages on top of what Soul Whip provide.  

Reaping Knives:
<Version 2.4> Only generate focus from weapon hits, focus gain 5->8 per hit, proper description of the effect. 

Pain Link  :
<Version 2.4 > Duration 15s -> 30s
<Version 2.4 > %25 damages returned -> 30%

Death of 1000 cuts  :

A Soul's Echo  :
<Version 2.6> 15% Hit to Crit on Cipher Spell vs Will -> 20%

Wild Leech :
<Version 2.6.2> Tier 1 Random inspiration to target / Tier 1 Affliction (Tier 2 with Community Patch) -> -10 Random Attribute to target -> +10 attribute to self
Note that this is in the nerf package because not a strict upgrade, especially compared to CP Version.

Body Atunement  :
<Version 3.0> -2 AR (target) and +2 AR (self) for 25s
(Note that Community Patch -3 AR (target) and +2 AR (self) for 20s ; this version is equivalent in power but match more closely original intent and description) 

Draining Whip :
<Version 3.1.0> Corrected a bug that caused Draining Whip bonus damages (the same as Soul Whip) to still apply at max focus for no-subclass Cipher, Soul Blade and Wild Mind (Ascendant Whips are never deactivated at max focus and Beguiler Draining Whip already worked properly).




H) Rogue

Trickster :
Sneak Attack 20% + 5%/PL -> 10% + 5%/PL

Streefighter:
Indirect nerf : Blunderbuss Modal : Distracted for 10s -> -10 Accuracy for 10s

 - +50% +5% per Power Level beyond 1
 - +50% +5% per Power Level beyond 1 to foes ABOVE 50% health (bonus damages is doubled vs foes who are "Hurt" or Above)
<Version 2.1.1> Backstab Bonus now applies for fixed 1s after Invisbility and Stealth is broken (this allows most Full Attacks to apply Backstab Bonus to both attacks) 
Note that this version is mutually exclusive with Community Patch One. If you prefer CP Version, delete the cl.rogue.backstab_rework file in BPM Nerf package.

Smoke Veil :
2 Guile -> 1 Guile

Shadow Step & Upgrade :
3 Guile -> 2 Guile
Paralysis 6s -> 8s
Flurry of Blades
<Version 2.4> damages 14-28 -> 10-14 but with 3 raw damages per second for 8s 
<Version 2.4> AoE 1.5m radius -> 2.5m 

Shadowing Beyond & Upgrade :
3 Guile -> 2 Guile
+50 Deflection that was cancelled inconsistently on 1st or 2nd attack (and most of the time only applies when invisible and therefore didn't have any purpose) -> +25 Deflection for whole duration

Smoke Cloud & Upgrades :
Interrupton Hit -> Interrupt on Graze
<Version 1.3.2> Pernicious Cloud now gets Acid Keyword 
<Version 1.4.6> 4s recovery -> 3s

<Version 2.1.0> +3%damages per % health lost from 50% -> +4% damages per % health lost from 100%, up to +400%
<Version 2.1.0> Unconditional +50% damages bonus removed.
<Version 2.1.0> Eliminating Blow description now correctedly indicated that foes close to the target are Shaken (not Frightened)

 Devastating Blow :
+6%damages per % health lost from 50% -> +3% damages per % health lost from 100%
<Version 2.1.0> +6%damages per % health lost from 50% -> +5% damages per % health lost from 100%, up to +500%
<Version 2.1.0> Unconditional +50% damages bonus removed.
<Version 2.1.0> Devastating Blow now causes Prone on Hit instead of Interrupt on Hit.

Sap:
Hobbled for 30s -> Shaken for 30s
Added "impossibility to receive Concentration debuff" on target for 30s. <Version 1.4.9> Removed (only applies to Perplexing Sap now). This tweak may still be found in previous versions archives. 

Perplexing Sap :
Removed the weird Confusion on target's attack effect.
Upgrade Skaken from changed Sap to Frighten.
 <Version 1.4.9> Upgrade unlocks "impossibility to receive Concentration debuff" on target for 30s that was previously applying even with only normal Sap.

Strike the Bell & Upgrades (complete rework) :
 - Still Full Attack that Interrupts on Graze, with +25% damages and +2 PR.
 - Now all versions adds a 15s Dazed effect
 - Melee 1 Hander adds a -25 Will debuff for 15s
 - Melee 2 Hander adds a -25 Fortitude debuff for 15s
 - Ranged Weapon adds a -25 Reflex debuff for 15s
 - All other effects removed.
 - The upgrades now allow their respective -25 defense debuff to last for the whole Combat (in a similar fashion as Gouging Strike)

Confounding Blind :
Start at -10 deflection malus, -2 per hit up to a total of -34 (doesn't stack with flanked from Confounding Strike's Blind)
Fix the stacking not working from CP.
<Version 2.1.2> The deflection malus is applied even if the Blind affliction is downgraded by Resistance or Immunity.  
<Version 2.2> Malus no longer considered as a beneficial effect.

Persistent Distraction :
 -Deflection and AR malus doesn't stack with similar effect anymore, as for all others Distracted Afflictions.
<Version 2.1.0> Now Persistent Distration does not apply Distracted Affliction anymore. Instead, engaged foes get -5 all defenses.
<Version 2.1.2> Corrected a BPM bug that sometimes caused the all defenses malus to persist after battle.

Deep Wounds :
Now applies 20% fixed amount of weapon damages in 4 ticks (2s ticks) as announced by CP. (CP implemented 3 ticks (3s ticks) for a total of 15%).
<Version 1.4.1> Removed from the mod. The ability is corrected by CP 2.0 (4x 3s ticks)

Wall of Flashing Steel :  added 10% chance Guile on Crit <Version 1.4.9> tweaked to 10% chance of getting +1 Guile every 3s while the 5s effect is active. This means a single crit gives 20% (more with more Int) chance of Guile, but a single attack with multiple hits can's give more chance. Blunderbuss/Mortars and Gambit spam will give less Guile but normal attacks will give more. 
<Version 2.5.1> Now also grants 1 Guile on Crit, but this effect has a 30s Cooldown. Note that the Guile gain is equal to previous version on average, but the effect is less random and the description less confusing.  

Toxic Strike :
<Version 1.3.2> now gets Poison and Acid Keywords.
Perishing Strike :
<Version 2.4> Now inflicts Enfeebled directly for 15s 
<Version 2.4.1> Now Weakened is upgraded to Enfeebled for 15s also when the target health becomes <50%

Riposte : 
<Version 1.5.1> Corrected a bug from Version 1.4.9 that indirectly caused Riposte ability to not work properly when Distracting Training mod file is used.  

Gambit :
<Version 2.4> now attack from each hand grants 2 Guile if Crit at least 1 time (important for AoE and Multi-Hit Weapons, as a Graze or Hit - but not Miss, caused the next roll to not be able to give back Guile. e.g. Miss then Graze then Crit and Crit did not regenerate Guile on a Blunderbuss 4 Hits attack)  




I) Druid

Also refer to Summon Rebalance for changes specifically about summons.

Wall of Thorns  :
No actual changes, but this ability displayed a base PEN of 7 which was wrong : it is actually base PEN 9, so I corrected the display
<Version 1.3.2> Now correctly gets Poison Keyword

Nature's Terror :
Casting time changed from 4,5s/3s to 3s/3s.
<Version 1.3> Set to foe only.

Sunlance : 
- Casting time changed from 4,5s/3s to 0,5s/4,5s.
- Added Interrupt on Hit.

Nature's Bounty :
- Now its effects (20 health restored, +2 PER and MIG, +20% Action Speed for 30s) will apply directly instead of summoning potion.
- AoE reduced 5m -> 2,5m to compensate that it now affects summons and everything.

Tornado:
- AoE set to 10m radius.
- Range set to 20m
- Added a true "Interrupt on Graze" effect, which is consistent with the Vertical Launch part.
- Casting Time tuned from 6s/2s to 4.5s/3s
- <Version 2.4> 7 PEN -> 10 PEN
- <Version 2.4> Launch target in the air for 0s -> 3s

Great Maelstrom :
<Version 2.4> Keywords set back to vanilla game (remove Community Patch rework because Ice KW was applied to Burn/Shock attack)
<Version 2.4> Crush/Ice attack 7 PEN -> 6 PEN
<Version 2.4> Burn/Shock attack 9 PEN -> 6 PEN
<Version 2.4> Burn Shock attack 40-60 damages -> 30-50 damages 

Touch of Death :
- Set casting time to 0,5s/3s instead of 3s/3s.
- Add a +25 Acc modifier for this spell. So if your accuracy is equal or greater than foe's Will, the kill is guaranteed.

Taste of the Hunt :
<Version 2.2> Damages over time replaced by damages on tick (the amount is roughly the same, this is a display change)

Weather the Storm :
<Version 2.2> Now also adds +5 AR vs Crush damages.
<Version 2.3> Now also applies to Tekehu chanter subclass version of Weather the Storm.

Twin Stones :
<Version 2.2> Now the stones explode on the first target, a wall isn't needed. Initial Hit has been has PEN 7->9, but AoE has PEN 9->7.

Wildstrike Frenzy :
- Changed from Procs on Kills to Proc on Crits
- <Version 1.3> Added PL scaling.
- <Version 1.4.3> Centered on target instead of centered on the Druid (important for Fury druid) <Version 1.4.5> corrected a graphical bug which made the AoE still appear on the caster (even if correctly applying to target)
<Version 2.2> Now Wildstrike damages stack with Druid Power level :
- Wildstrike is 10% +3%/(PL-1)
- Greater Wildstrike is 10% +5% per PL (e.g. +45% at PL 7)

Fury Strom Blight Weapons :
-Now properly count as weapons (generates focus, etc...)
<Version 2.2> damages rised from 8-13 to 10-15.
<Version 2.3> Now can get bonus from Extra Bounces (such as Driving Flight). Note that their attacks only bounce to targets behind main target now. Credits go to Noqn for making this change.

Spiritshift :
<Version 2.0> Now can be used an infinite number of times per encounter, but with a Cooldown of fixed 90s <Version 2.2> 120s. Notes for Subclasses :
- Lifegiver -5 Rejuvenation Power Level penalty after Spiritshift is cancelled when Spiritshift is used again (works as Drug crash when Drugs are used again).
- Shifters can use all the forms an infinite number of times per encounter, but with a Cooldown of fixed 60s <Version 2.2> 75s (Shifter Spiritshift duration is still longer and they are still healed after each Spiritshift). 
(Note that if you want to be able to use all Shifter forms with separate cooldown, the following mod implement this alternate feature. I don't consider it balanced, but pick it if you think it's funnier for you :
Alternate Shifter Spiritshift Cooldown at Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com) )
<Version 2.2> Corrected a bug that caused Wildstrike to apply during the Cooldown.
Note that this change will sometimes cause a crash when spiritshift is used with Cabalist's Gambison enchanted with Arcane Extension. 

Shifter self-heal effect after Spiritshift :
<Version 2.0> 15hp + 5 per PL -> 15hp + 3 per PL  
<Version 2.2> 25hp plus 5% multiplicative per PL.

Spiritshift duration:
<Version 1.4> Duration scales +5%/Druid Power Level (I had to set Boar Wounding DoT to a fixed 9s to avoid it scaling too).

Spiritshift Stag :
<Version 1.3.2> Carnage implemented by Community Patch now receives +1 Accuracy per PL (as other abilities, carnage damages already scaled)  
<Version 1.4> +7 all defenses -> +10 all defenses
<Version 1.4> Carnage implemented by Community Patch adjusted to base 33% weapon damages.
<Version 2.2> Carnage replaced by a version closer to stag pet : On Crit, trigger a 1.5m AoE (including main target), dealing 8-16 Slash / Pierce 9 PEN damages with normal scaling rules. 

All Spiritshift Forms :
<Version 2.2> all base Form bonus are considered passive for the purpose of stacking (so they stack with everything). This include :
- Boar and Bear +1 engagement
- Staf bonus defenses
- Wolf speed bonus (and new defenses vs disengement)
<Version 2.2> All forms (except Fury's) now deal Pierce/Slash damages.

Spiritshift Shark:
<Version 2.2> Added +25% base damages.  

Spiritshift Storm Blight:
<Version 2.2> Added +10% damages on Kill (stacks up to 3 times) until the end of Spiritshift.  
<Version 2.3> +10% bonus damages on kill (stacks up to 3 times) now lasts for 30s instead. The extended duration on kill has been removed to avoid weird duration bug with from Wildstrike Frenzy. Note that for technical constraints, it was impossible to put the later change in the Nerf Package.

Spiritshift Wolf:
<Version 1.4> +25% Stride -> +50% Stride
<Version 1.4> 1 Knockdown -> 3 Knockdowns
<Version 2.2> Added +20 defenses vs disengagement attacks.

<Version 1.4> Now also provides +1 PL to corresponding "element" when shifted (Fire, Electricity, Acid/Decay, Ice/Water)
<Version 1.4.7> Corrected a description display bug.

Greater Widstrike :
<Version 1.4> Now also provides +2 PL to corresponding "element" when shifted (Fire, Electricity, Acid/Decay, Ice/Water)
<Version 1.4.7> Corrected a description display bug.
<Version 1.4.9> Corrected a bug that prevented the Widstrike PL bonus to corresponding "element" to be applied to Wildstrike Frenzy.  

Venombloom, Vile Thorns, Plague of Insects :
<Version 1.3.2> Now correctly receives Poison Keyword.

Rot Skulls, Spreading Plague :
<Version 1.3.2> Now correctly receives Disease Keyword.

Cleansing Wind, Nature's Bounty :
<Version 1.4.7> Set to Restoration Keyword (can be cast by Fury). Restoration KW applies to spell with instant Healing. 
<Version 2.2> Suppressed. These spells follow CP classification as Rejuvenation, as it does not allow Fury to get it. 

Garden of Life :
<Version 1.4.7> Set to Rejuvenation Keyword (can't be cast by Fury). Rejuvenation KW applies to druid spell with Healing over Time.

Purge of Toxins :
<Version 1.3.2> Cast time set to 0.5s/3s
<Version 1.3.2> duration 30s -> 60s

Beetle Shell :
<Version 1.3.2> Cast time set to 0.5s/4.5s

Firebug  :
<Version 1.5.2> -25% damages per jump -> -10%

Infestation of Maggots :
<Version  2.1.0> 10 base damages per ticks ->  15 base damages per ticks <Version 2.4> 12 base damages per ticks (still reduced by % of health, e.g. 7.5 damages per ticks at 50% health) 

Rusted Armor :
<Version 2.1.2> Target Reflex instead of Fortitude. (also applies to Scroll and Berath's versions).
<Version 2.2> Target Deflection (as most single target attacks) instead of Fortitude. (also applies to Scroll and Berath's versions). 

Conjure Blights :
<Version 2.2> Summoned blight is not random anymore :
Conjure Lesser Blight summons a Lesser Storm Blight (and ability is tagged Electricity and Storm)
Conjure Blight summons a Flame Blight (and ability is tagged Fire)
Conjure Greater Blight summons an Ice Blight (and ability is tagged Frost) 

Winter Wind  :
<Version 2.6.2> 3s/4s cast/recovery -> 3s/3s
<Version 2.6.2> 17-25 damages -> 19-28
<Version 3.0> Damages also changed for scroll version (cast speed is fixed for all scrolls)

Also applies to scroll.




J) Priest

Also refer to Summon Rebalance for changes specifically about summons.

For deeper changes about Priest Subclasses, feel free to check following mod :
https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/476?tab=description 
It adds subclasses for all gods and all priests get an unique or "borrowed from another class" spell on each tier depending on their deity.
The mod has been designed to be compatible with Community Patch and Balance Polishing Mod.

Holy Radiance :
<Version 2.0> Now can be cast a virtually infinite number of times per encounter, but with a Cooldown of fixed 90s.

Divine Terror :
- Duration 20s -> 30s

Salvation of Time :
Changed to a lasting beneficial effects which adds 0.5s to every beneficial effects every 1s. That effectively halves their ellapsing speed of buffs for 24s fixed (not benefitting from INT and PL)
Basically adds 12s but :
- Now applies to effects cast after it (especially useful for Vanishing Strikes...)
- Useless to cast several times in a row
- The most important : now a single effect cannot haveits duration more than doubled. 
<Version 1.5.4> tweaked to fixed duration
It is still a very good spell, even better than before, but it is now impossible to abuse by combining it with Brilliant, and all other buffs will also have to be re-cast again at some point.

Hand of Berath :
- minus 5PL -> minus 10PL
- Now auto-hit.
- <Version 1.5.2> Duration 30s -> 45s

Revenge of Skaen :
- Range 5m -> 10m
- Added a -20 Accuracy effect in addition to Blind.
The -20 Acc does not stack with -10 Acc from Blind but theidea was to create an effect that goes through Perception Resistance

Blessing of Wael :
-+5 All defenses -> +10 <Version 2.4.1> +8 all defenses
- Changed the Blind affliction (which was too redundant with Skaen's Revenge) for a random effect of -10 <Version 2.4.1> -8 PER, INT or RES.
- Now riposte effect works vs any kind of attacks (not just melee ones). <Version 1.5.2> Now ripostes on damages, not on Hit or Crit
- Now riposte effect targets Will

Symbol of Berath :
- Added Acid Keyword

Gaun Spells  :
- Added Plant Keyword (bugfix from CP, not base game)

Wael Confusion  :
- Added Illusion Keyword (bugfix from CP, not base game)

<Version 1.3.2> Now foes only and get a +15 Accuracy bonus. Does not apply to Wizard's version of the spell.
<Version 2.4> Now also grants full healing and 10% Fire Absorb (instead of taking damages) for 45s

Magran's Version of Ray of Fire :
<Version 2.4> Renamed Divine Ray of Fire
<Version 2.4> Range 5m -> 10m

Barring Death Door :
<Version 1.4.3> Does not provide an effect preventing death anymore. Instead, the next time (no time limit for this part) the target becomes Near Death, a 300 pts damage shield is applied for 12s (the effect is less strong, but is longer and can be cast preventively).

<Version 1.5.2> Base 20s -> Fixed 30s (can't be extended by INT, Salvation of time, etc...)
Also applies to scrolls.

Circle of Protection :
<Version 2.2> duration 10s -> 20s (also applies to scrolls)

Writ of Mending : 
<Version 2.4.1> Now adds -100% healing receives. This effect is redundant with Enfeebled affliction, but contrary to it can affect even CON Affliction Resistant or Immune foes

Minor Intervention :
<Version 2.5> Reduction of Hostile effects -5s -> -10s   

Light of Eoathas :
<Version 2.5> Reduction of Hostile effects -10s -> -20s

<Version 2.2> Corrected a display bug that gave wrong values for threshold.

Dichotomous Soul :

Raised Torment :
<Version 2.0> Cone attacks receives a special +15 Accuracy bonus and PEN raised from 9 to 12 to compensate for the absence of Acc/PEN scaling. 

Long Pain and the Pain Persists :
<Version 2.4> Now summon a weapon with 3s recovery instead of 4s. No change to Instrument of Pain.   
The Pain Persists : 
<Version 2.0> +1s duration for each Crit -> +3s <Version 2.4> +4s

Flagellant Path upgrades :
<Version 2.2> now the upgrades do 5-10 damages as the unupgraded version (instead of 5-7)
Shared pain :
<Version 2.2> Now the raw damages are per ticks, as apparently intended in the code.

<Version 2.4> Now launches target for 2s 

Unarmed attacks :
<Version 2.2> Unarmed attacks for Monks, Monastic unarmed training and normal characters are set to 14-19, but without Talent, they have 0 PEN. This is to address a bug where NPC monks not getting their base 5-8 damages replaced by proper damages.

2) Summon Rebalance :


Weapon & Armor Scaling :

The biggest change is now that all summons weapon and armor scale with level (as Animated Weapons, Companion Pet's Weapons and a handful of other summons already do).
They all follow therules of the table in the link below (+1 PEN, +4 Acc, +15% damages for their weapons and +1AR at level 5, 9, 13 & 17) 
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/227477-pillars-of-eternity-ii-deadfire/faqs/76599/non-pl-scaling

(Only exceptions are some of the Tier IX Summons because you get them after level 17. But most of them will have legendary quality weapons, or strong enough weapons anyway. )
 


Wizard & Monk :

Most of their summons already had scaling weapons & armor. 

Ninagauth Killing Bolt :
<Version 1.4.7> The summoned spectre now has Weapon & Armor scaling.



Druid :

Ondra's Whip, Watery Double, Lashing Vine : 
No changes. I think these abilities are balanced as they are (and their weapon and armor all scale at levels 5, 9, 13, 17 ).
<Version 1.5.4> Watery Double lasts 45s (Watery Double AI wasn't able to use its abilities, so it is a compensation).

Summon Sporelings :
Added Weapon & Armor scaling.

All Blights Summons :
Added Weapon & Armor scaling.
<Version 2.2> Flame blight explosion now follow normal scaling rules (also applies to foe blights)
<Version 2.2> Lesser Storm blight attack debugged and set to 8-13 damages, 10m range and 1 80% damages bounce. Storm Blight attack set from 8-13 to 10-15 damages ( also applies to foe blights)
Note that <Version 2.2> "nerf" package set summoned blights to non random. Refer to druid main section.  

Call to the Primordials :
Added Weapon & Armor scaling.
Reduced the number of oozes from 3 to 2.
Reduced the duration from 30s to 20s.
Bog Ooze removed from the list of potential summons, replaced by Lesser Bog Ooze (but with the added scaling, it's actually somewhat stronger).
<Version 1.4.2> Lesser Bog Ooze now has exactly the same abilities as Bog Ooze.

Fire Stag : 
(Weapons and armor already scaled)
- Change its fire shield so itprocs on "damaged" as other fire shields, and not on Hit/Crit.
- Set Engagement limit to base 3.
- Adjust base damages to 13 - 19 with PEN 8 (equivalent of a sword with +2 PEN and fast attack rate).
- Explosion is now triggered by death instead of ability activation. That means Barring Death Door will prevent it from exploding and doing any damages. But when Fire stag is killed byfoe, it explodes as if the ability was triggered. Fire stag can still kill itself to trigger the explosion.
- Explosion has been set to foe-only.
<Version 2.2> Fire shield and explosion now follow normal scaling rules.
<Version 2.5> Now counts as dual wielded (-30% recovery)

Aspect of Galawain :
(Weapons and armor already scaled)
Adjusted base damages to 13 - 19with PEN 8 (equivalent of a sword with +2 PEN and fast attack rate), so it feels better for a summon of this Tier. (Wolf gets higher base damage, and Lion has bonus attack speed).
Adjusted armor :
- base 5 AR -> base 8 AR,
- 25% recovery -> 0%recovery. Bear gets +2 AR on top of this.
Added an Interrupt on Hit effect to its base attack.
<Version 2.5> Now counts as dual wielded(-30% recovery) Note that wolf already did in unmodded game.



Priest:

Spirtual Ally :
Added Weapon & Armor scaling (its armor scales up to equivalent of legendary plate).
Tuned down duration to 25s. 

Incarnates :
Changed-5 PL for 35s into -1 PL (stacking if used multiple time) for 120s.
<Version 2.4.1> Changed -5 PL for 35s into -3 PL for 35s 
This counts as a hostile effect and is decreased by Resolve and similar feats.

Now for specific Incarnates :

- Eothas :
Equipment set to Legendary Quality. 
Replaced one of the priest incarnate by a copy of the first since it had an infinite recovery and could only act once.
Duration reduced from 35s to 20s (triple summons would be too strong for 35s). <Version 2.4> discarded change 

- Berath : Equipment set to Legendary Quality 
Duration reduced from 35s to 25s (double summons would be too strong for 35s). <Version 2.4> discarded change

- Magran : Weapon and shield set to LegendaryQuality.
Buffed to be a defensive juggernaut :
Set her CON to 25, RES to 25
Armor changed to 14 AR without weakness apart Cold and its Recovery would be lowered from +67% to +34% (this value is the one from a Fighter with Armored Grace wearing a heavy armor).

- Skaen : added +2 weapon PEN, +10 Acc, damages set from 14-20 to 18-25 (fast attack speed). +2 AR.
(Basically similar to a scaling from Exceptionnal to Legendary.)

- Wael : get scaling bonus (+4 PEN, + 16 Acc, +60% damages with weapons, +4 AR). I also gave him +10 CON so its health pool is more in line with other single Incarnate, albeit still the frailest. I also added +5 DEX, +5 PER.

- Rymrgand : No changes to this monster.



Chanter:

Skeletons :
Added Weapon & Armor scaling. They start as poor so they have "exceptionnal" weapons at level 20.
Note : "Many Lives..." phrase skeletons don't really scale anyway.
<Version 2.2> Base duration for skeleton set to 18s (secondary skeletons from brittle bonus duration is unchanged)

Phantom :
Added Weapon & Armor scaling.
<Version 2.2> Base duration 12s -> 25s
Phantom upgrade duration : 25s -> <Version 2.4> 120s

Wurms :
Added Weapon & Armor scaling.
Base Duration lowered from 25s to 18s.
Upgrade cost : 4 phrases -> 3 phrases

Wisps :
Added Weapon & Armor scaling.

Ogres :
Added Weapon & Armor scaling.
Set their active abilities to 1 per encounter. (I didn't want them to be better than Drake at AoE or better than Wisp at Interrupting.)
Changed their "Down the Hatch" ability : it doesn't provide Tenacious and Robust anymore : this would have lead to too much AR and PEN if added with the scaling. Now "Down the Hatch" is renamed "Ogre Defiance" and only provides 10 health per 3s for 20s. Disoriented drawback has been removed. 
I added 2 PEN to their non-weapon based attack abilities to compensate for the loss of Tenacious.

Drake :
Added Weapon & Armor scaling.
<Version 2.4> Duration 25s -> 50s  
Added : Ground Immunity, Fear Aura and Dex Resistance that all other drakes have (Dragon Summon gets an improved version of Fear Aura).
Knockdowns :
- 2 per Encounter -> <Version 2.4>  5 per Encounter <Version 2.4.1> 3 per encounter
- Damages set to 15 - 25, base PEN set from 7 to 10. <Version 2.4.1> Damages set to 25 - 35
- Only affects Hostiles
Fire Breath :
- 1 per Encounter -> <Version 2.4> 5 per Encounter
- PEN set from 6 to 9

Dank Spore :
Added Weapon scaling. AR already scaled, but I aligned it with other summons progression.
<Version 2.4> Duration 25s -> 50s 
Foul Thing explosion on death :
- added 40 - 55 raw poison damages
- set Sickened affliction to Infinite duration as announced by the ability.
- only affects Hostile
- corrected a bug that prevented the Sickened affliction to be displayed.
<Version 2.2> Foul thing explosion now follows normal scaling rules. 

Animated Weapons :
Are currently already fully scaled.
<Version 2.4> Weapons activable abilities limited to 3x encounter each (inspired by a change from Testlum)

Dragon:
Will receive the benefit of full weapon / armor scaling.
In addition toscaling, I changed Dragon stats because they currently don't make sense, with a bottomless pit of health but lower AR and
attack than the drake :
- Armor 7->10(+4 from scaling) with resistance to Fire and Slash and vulnerability to pierce. (Based on the (scaled) version of the Drake, +1 AR)
- <Version 2.4> Now is immune to Fire damages
- Health 200 + 50/level-> 100 + 30/level
- Attack : 16-22 CRU/PIER, 7 PEN,normal attack speed -> 20-26 CRU/PIER, 9 PEN, fast attack (+scaling) (this is based on the drake attack, but slightly improved)
- <Version 2.4> Now the Frightened aura properly applies for the whole duration of the summon
- <Version 2.4> Added the same DoT as Drake to the breath attack
- <Version 2.4> Tail Lash now causes Prone on Hit
- <Version 2.4> Knockdown renamed Overbearing Knockdown. Suppressed erroneous reference to Disoriented Affliction. Damages set to 60-76 Pierce/Crush 12 PEN. Cause a -15 Fortitude debuff for base 30s (stackable 3x up) 



3) Miscellanous Changes :


All summoned Weapons : 
<Version 2.5.4> Unsummoned when knocked out. This should correct a bug that cause equiped weapons to be non lootable.

Natural Weapons :
<Version 2.4> Natural weapons (such as claws, bite, etc...) now count as weapons for all effects concerned (such as Distraction Training...)

Item Passive Abilities Scaling:
<Version 2.0> Attacks from Passive abilities from items does not receive any Power Level or Character Level scaling, which means they have subpar Accuracy, damages, and Penetration. Balance Polishing Mod now adds following bonuses according to Character Level, which means they scale approximatively as a normal ability :
- +0.25 Penetration per 2 Levels (up to +2.5)
- +1 Accuracy per 2 Levels (up to +10)
- +5% additive damages per 2 Levels (up to +50%)

Warnings :
- If several items from the following lists are equipped simultanneously, the bonus above will appear as being applied by the first one. However, all the equipped items of the following lists will benefit from it, so this is only a change in the combat logs.
- If several items from the following lists are equipped simultanneously, then the first one is removed, the bonus may not applied. In this case, just re-equip one of these items.
- In order to confirm that the bonus is properly applied after equipping, just shift+point on weapon damages : the bonus shall appear (greyed out, because it doesn't apply to weapon damages, but it is enough to confirm that the Attacks from these items will receive the bonus).
- This scaling does not seem to work with effect on knocked-down for summoned clones (such as Essential Phantom)

Raw Damages Effect Penetration :
<Version 2.1.0> Raw Damages effects now have a base Penetration of 7. This is meant to prevent non-raw damages lashes applied to raw damage attacks from having super low Penetration.
Thanks Noqn for making this change.

Brilliant:
Now only restores spell Slot up to Tier 3 for Priests, Wizards and Druids. <Version 1.4.2> Discarded change
<Version 1.4.2> Now only restores spell Slot up to Tier 3/6/9 for Priests, Wizards and Druids. The maximum regenerated tier is cycling : Tier 3 after 3s, Tier 6 ater 9s, Tier 9 after 15s and so on until the end of the effect. Brilliant does not restore ressource anymore before 3s for all classes.
Note that this change is based on Phenomenum and Maquest work with Community Patch (with some tweaks).

Auranic Megaboss :
<Version 2.1.0> Auranic Megaboss now gets back a spell slot every 12s for the duration of the fight.
This is meant to prevent her from running out of spell, especially when facing a Party with Potions of Enlightenment.
Hanging Sepulcher : <Version 2.6.1> Have increased area Level from 6 to 8 in order to avoid overscaling when upscaling is enable (level 6 was probably an oversight aligned with Temple area, credits to Ivanfyodorovich)
Animals attacking Sayuka :
<Version 2.2> Now properly tagged as beasts (thanks to Noqn)

Fire Godlike :
Fire AR +2 -> +4 
+1AR under 50% -> +2
Base Damages 2-4 ->4-5 Damage increase : +20%/PL <Version 1.3> 2-4 Damages, +20%/PL, +0.5 PEN/PL, +2Acc/PL and applies independantly from current health (condition to be under 50% health has been removed, only applies to AR bonus now)
<Version 1.4.6> Damages set to base 3-5

Moon Godlike :
Silver Tide : 10 health +2/PL <Version 1.3> Set to 10 health +1/Level instead
<Version 1.3> Added passive Crescent Purity : 25% resistance to raw damages +4 Corrode AR
<Version 1.4.8> Crescent Purity not displayed anymore as an icon right to character portrait. Crescent Purity correctly displayed on Character Creation menu.   

Death Godlike :
<Version 1.3> +20% Damages against Near Death foes -> +20% +2%/Level
<Version 1.4.8>+20% damages against Near Death foes -> +5 +1/level Accuracy (up to +25 accuracy) against Near Death foes. This is meant to provide a better synergy with spells that destroy Near Death targets on Graze and Hit such as Death Ring. 
<Version 2.4.1> Pallid Fate now persists for <Version 3.1> 10s after Death Godlike isn't Near Death anymore (but still lasts indefinitely while Near Death)

Nature Godlike :
<Version 1.3> Added Passive EvergreenVigor : 10 + 0,5% per level healing received while ABOVE 50% health.
<Version 2.1.2> Added Passive EvergreenVigor : 5 + 0,5% per level healing received while ABOVE 50% health. (value slightly reduced)
<Version 1.4.8> Evergreen Vigor not displayed anymore as an icon right to character portrait. Evergreen Vigor correctly displayed on Character Creation menu.

Avian Godlike :
<Version 1.4.8> Resistance to Intellect Afflictions and Perception Afflictions -> Resistance to Intellect Afflictions and Immunity to Perception Afflictions  

Marine Godlike :
<Version 1.4.8> Added Immunity to Push/Pull effects and +3 Armor Rating versus Crush damages (in addition to Water and Slog Zones Immunities), but removed purging of Fire Status (that also removed beneficial effects and was impossible to correct).

Ending Godlike :
<Version 1.4.5> +5 all defenses vs afflictions -> +10 

Island Aumaua :
<Version 1.3> Added +10 All defenses against Ground Based attacks.

Martial Casting :
15% Action Speed -> 100% Action speed when casting summoned weapons.

Combat Focus :
<Version 2.6> +1 Concentration at the start of combat -> +1 stacking Concentration at the start of combat and every 30s after that.

Quick Summoning :

Spell Resistance Ability :
<Version 1.4> 10% Resistance - > 15%
<Version 2.6> In addition to the 10% Resistance, the ability now guaranteed that the first spell attack every 30s vs the character will fail.
This provides a predictable effect, useful for example when you want to cast a Spell AoE with friendly fire on your own character.  

Uncanny Luck :
<Version 2.1.2> Added 5% Misses to Grazes and 5% Grazes to Hit to the 5% resistance, 5% Hit to Crit.
Note that this conflicts with Community Patch version. Please delete it if you prefer CP Version.

Adra ban set to for 10000 gold per unit : removed in <Version 1.3.1>

<Version 1.4> Added Missing item "Torc of the Falcon Eye" (headgear, +2PER) at Una's Shop

Stun :
<Version 1.4> Cyclopedia updated according to Community Patch (Cyclopedia said it was -10 all defenses but it was wrong : it is -10 Deflection and another -10 Reflex with CP)

<Version 1.4.8> Not partially displayed anymore as an icon right to character portrait

Binding Block :
+15 Accuracy ->+20

Lasting Empower :
Corrected CP bug (duration increase applied to many stuff including non-empowered attacks), but I had to go back to base game version.
<Version 1.4> Not applicable. Refer to Empower section.

Bashing Shield :
Now Bashing Shields (Magran's Blessing and Best Defense) Accuracy, PEN and Damages upon attacking increase according to the shield quality
(example for exceptionnal shield : +8 ACC, +2 PEN, +30%)
Special thanks to @Noqn for implementing this very clean ruleset.
Not applied to Tuotilo'sPalm (its stats increase according to Transcendant Suffering / Monastic Unarmed Training as in the base game)
Damages and PEN set to base 7-10 with base 7 PEN to match their scaling.
<Version 1.4.9>  Damages set to :
- 8-12, 8 PEN for Best Defense 
- 10-14, 6 PEN for Magran's Blessing

Magran's Blessing Fire Shield slightly reduced (to compensate for the scaling applied also to retaliations) :
- 5-7 damages for base Fire Shield <Version 1.4.9> also applies to Purifying Flame upgrade.
- 8-12 damages for greater Fire Shield

Tarn's Respite :
<Version 2.2> Maluses caused by upgraded are now properly considered as Hostile effects instead of Beneficial.

Engoliero Do Espirs :
<Version 2.2> On Kill effects triggers on any kills with Cruel Blade (as for upgraded Blade Feast) 

Wahai Poraga :
<Version 2.0> Now correctly triggers 3 additional attacks instead of 1 (thanks Avaratica for correction)

<Version 2.0> Fixed the bug that prevented the effect from applying.

<Version 2.0> Added Frost Keyword to Frostbitten Palisade attack.

<Version 2.4> Now applies correctly to all attacks from Stealth/Invisibility and 1s after.

<Version 2.5.4>  Bring Low now correctedly displayed as 50% chance as actually working. Note that Bring Low requires a secondary roll vs fortitude.

<Version 2.5.4>  Mercy Strike now correctedly displayed as 30% chance as actually working. Note that Bring Low requires a secondary roll vs fortitude. 

Eccea's Arcane Blaster : 
<Version 2.5.4>  Bullet time changed to -66% reload time for 10s since reload time is anyway capped to 1.67s min.

Saint War Armor : 
<Version 3.0>  Veteran's maneuver immunity to attack vs Reflex isn't cancelled by "Hit" from friendly buffs. Credits to Ivanfyodorovich for this fix.

Dragon's Dowry : 
<Version 3.0>  Dragon's Breath does not erroneously display 10-15 initial damages (which did not exist), but only the "flame wall" ticks damages (4-7).

Eccea's Arcane Blaster : 
<Version 2.5.4>  Bullet time changed to -66% reload time for 10s since reload time is anyway capped to 1.67s min.

<Version 2.0> Returning Orbit now prevented from applying to any Hit (limited to Sungrazer Hit)

The Red Hand :
<Version 2.1.1> Reload time : 6.8s -> 9s (still allow 2 arquebus shot before reloading)

Cuttlefish nerf  :
+1 Crew Morale -> +0 Morale

Weapon special effects can't count as melee crits :

- Effort (Hemorrhaging)

- Sanguine (weeping wounds) 
- Distraho (Menace)
- Wicked Beast (Bad Dog, Hounding) 
- Ball and Chain (Crushing Yoke, Subjugation, Shackles)

All Food :
<Version 2.3> Now food bonuses always stack with everything, as for other bonuses after rest (Inn room bonuses...). This only makes the behavior more consistent as currently it was somehow possible to make food bonuses stacking by saving/loading.     

Scordeo's Edge  :
<Version 1.5.2> Blade Cascade : base 5s -> Fixed 6s (can't be extended by INT, Salvation of time, etc...)
<Version 2.0> Double Strike now prevented from applying to any Hit (limited to Scordeo's Edge Hits)  

Drug Crash and Arcane Dampener interaction :
<Version 1.4.2> When Arcane Dampener removes a Drug effect, the drug user still gets a drug crash penalty (and Nalzapaca malus if applicable). But now when Arcane Dampener elapses and Drug effect resume, the Drug Crash stops.

Crossbows :
<Version 1.4.3> Hit to Crit bonus now only applies to Crossbows itself (and not to any ability when crossbow is held)

Strand of Favor, Ooblit pet, Cabalist's Gambeson :
<Version 1.4.3> Beneficial duration bonus from these items now only applies to effect received after equipping (which prevent from extending effect by equipping/unequipping repeatedly).
<Version 2.1.0> Corrected a Cabalist's Gambison bug and removed misleading UI indications.
WARNING : Cabalist's Gambison Arcane Extension fix soemtimes cause crash with Form Change effect (such as Spiritshift) so it's advised not to use them in conjunction.

<Version 1.4.2>  : Various text corrections thanks to Atomic Dragon of Mars's review.

Companions and Sidekicks attribute buff :
<Version 1.4.5> The total number of attribute points for Companions has been increased by 2 to compensate for the lack of optimisation when compared to hirelings. See details below :

Pallegina : +1 PER, +1 RES

Vatnir : +1 PER, +1 RES
Important note : this change can't be applied to an existing game. Only new games will benefit from it. If you really want this change, the workaround is to use console commands to align with the proposed stats.

Power Level Scaling of Triggered attacks :
<Version 2.0> Added a note explicitly stating that the triggered attacks of following abilities have their Accuracy, PEN and damages scaling with PL (no actual change, it works like this in the unmodded game) :
- Heart of Fury
- Whirling Strikes
- Whispers of the Wind
- Cleaving Stance / Mob Stance
- Swift Flurry

Intrinsic Ability Level Bonus of Triggered attacks :
<Version 2.0> Added a note explicitly stating that following abilities have an intrinsic Accuracy and PEN bonus (no actual change, it works like this in the unmodded game) : 
- Riposte : +4 Accuracy and +1 PEN
- Heartbeat Drumming: +12 Accuracy and +3 PEN
- Barbaric Retaliation : +16 Accuracy and +4 PEN 

Monastic Unarmed Training :
<Version 2.5> Every class can now pick this talent (Wizard, Paladin, Cipher, Chanter, Druid previously couldn't) 
<Version 2.5.2> Corrected a buf that enabled Wizard, Paladin, Cipher, Chanter, Druid to pick it even when they already had Transcendant Suffering from their monk multiclass.

Constitution :
<Version 1.4.5> +5% health per point -> +6% health
Note that this also applies to foes and bosses, and to values below 10. Therefore, it isn't a true buff and is included in nerf package.

Potion of the Final Stand :
<Version 1.5.2> Base 6s -> Fixed 18s (can't be extended by INT, Salvation of time, etc...)

Potion of Enlightenment :
<Version 1.4.2> : Standalone package that is a copy of following mod https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/501  by Noqn
Potion of Enlightenment is an expensive consumable that adds +1 ressource every 30s for the duration of battle.
This item is made to make Megabosses battle more manageable for parties without specific classes. Discussion reference :
https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/121328-alternative-effect-for-brilliant/page/5/?tab=comments#comment-2257052 

< Version 1.3> Dorudugan:
35 RES -> 30 RES
-15 Base Deflection
-1000 Base HP
Base AR -> 14
Slash AR -> 16
(This change is included in the nerf package because it is meant to compensate for the removal of most cheesy combos from this package)
<Version 1.4.2> Discarded change (Potion of Enlightenment is meant to address Megabosses fights in a more satisfying way). Refer to previous versions of the mod if you want to restore this change.
