Melee Lost Headshots

You are right, I misremembered.

I don't think it was in the vanilla

Doesn't Rend and Sword slash already allow your soldier to attack again? I don't have this mod and I'm pretty sure I recall being able to mop the floor easy with my Templar with his Rend ability.

The bonus Momentum for Templars combined with this mod allowed my Templar to LITERALLY walk from end of the map to the other after killing 8 Lost in a single turn.
I'm going to have to unsub to this, it's just too silly with how melee talents work in this game.

I got the point. That really helps. Thank you very much!

+ValidHeadshotAbilities=WOTC_APA_SwordSlice <For Proficiency Sword
+ValidHeadshotAbilities=IRI_Rider_Intercept <For Stormrider Intercept
+ValidHeadshotAbilities=MZShieldCharge <Shield Attack from the updated Shield Mod
+ValidHeadshotAbilities=IRI_Rider_PowerKick <Stormrider Powerkick
+ValidHeadshotAbilities=IRI_Rider_Haymaker <Stormrider Haymaker
+ValidHeadshotAbilities=DP_PistolWhip <This is for Akimbo but do note it acts funny. The first hit must kill. The second hit does not count for the mod, period. I think this is an engine issue.
+ValidHeadshotAbilities=WOTC_APA_Rend <For Proficiency Templars
+ValidHeadshotAbilities=WOTC_APA_RipjackStrike <For Proficiency Skrimishers.

Here are some examples from my mod list. This is not all of them but I will add the rest later, point is this is what they should look like. Stupid thousand word limit.

For anyone wondering why some melee skills are not working, modded characters and abilities will needed to be added to the XComData_SoldierSkill config. For example, proficiency Templar does not work because the name of the attack is different. You need to find the name of the skill in the XComClassData of each of your modded classes, find the note for the skill in question, copy it without the quote marks, and add them to this mod's XComData_SoldierSkill.

It should be SwordSlash, I also don't get headshots with my templar too. Don't know what's the deal here. Thx for response @Alex Nares.

I am retired from XCOM modding. I didn't know Hunter's Axe was counted separate from SwordSlash. Some weapon characteristics are hard coded and can't be edited via INI. It's possible Hunter's Axe is one such weapon.

Modder are you still checking this mod? I thought axe attacks are the same as SwordSlash, it still should be. Why do you think it isn't working on Hunter's Axe equipped on Jane Kelly? I was concealed while slashing, is there an interaction?
