Description
A meta-mod for class designers.
NOTE: This mod does not replace any vanilla LW2 perks or will affect your current soldiers, because it has no ini modifications.
You are meant to download this mod and abuse it for your own purposes.

Scaling Defensive Perks implements three perks for Long War 2 that scale with your equipment.
While offensive perks scale with your weapon's power, Formidable and Bulwark fall off due to the fact that its provided stat bonuses are static.

Adds three new perks
Formidable (does not replace vanilla Formidable) no longer has explosives damage reduction but now adds 1 armor per armor tier.
E.G. plated armor causes this perk to add 2 armor, powered causes this perk to add 3.

Bulwark (does not replace vanilla Bulwark) has had its armor effect given scaling too.
Still retains the original high cover to adjacent units bonus.

Blast Padding: Either adds two ablative HP or doubles the effectiveness of your plating, whichever gives higher ablative HP.
E.G. wearing Carapace Plating adds another 5 ablative shielding to your soldier.

To use:
New Formidable's code is Formidable2, so adding the skill to your soldier will look like this: (AbilityName="Formidable2" ), \\
Blast Padding's code is BlastPadding. Adding it will look like this: (AbilityName="BlastPadding" ), \\
New Bulwark's code is Bulwark2. Adding it will look like this: (AbilityName="Bulwark2" ), \\

Free Use License:
I give open permission for anyone to use any component of this mod in their other projects,
so long as they provide proper crediting and do not use this mod for profit.

@SentySent I uploaded a fix that should rectify the problem. Just make sure you also didn't grab Formidable2 in the last instance. That perk just grants the bonus armor but it can be easy to confuse you.

@SentySent Oh dear. Didn't anticipate a duplication error. Looks like I'll have to apply eDupe_Ignore on this one. Standby....

So I have a bug that one of my Spark specced with the new Bulwark got double Bulwark2 perks, causing my Spark having more armor points than needed.

@SentySent No. That's too much for one perk.

I got a question to ask: Does Blast Padding provide explosive damage reduction?

@Ah I need a medic bag this mod does not affect the AWC list. You'll have to change that yourself.
Dreyfus0414 8 Aug, 2017 @ 10:16am 
So is formidable an AWC perk now?

@Ah I need a medic bag. Formidable (Formidable2) just has scaling armor. If you want ablative go for Blast Padding (BlastPadding)
Dreyfus0414 7 Aug, 2017 @ 7:49pm 
for formidable, does formidable have ablative and armor or just armor
