Hero Rebalance - Templar

Description
Templars are great heroes in vanila, but they have some important flew: they depends too much on powerful XCom perks, especially Bladestorm. Also, support perks of templar are far less appealing compared to Rend oriented perks.

This mod empowers support perks of templars, and give templar a built-in Bladestorm so that RNG does not mess it up.

Compatibility
This mod changes perk tree of Templar, so templar perk mods like Supreme Focus will not work with this mod.

Some mods that use Templar perks, like Templar Psion Class, will be using the perks from this mod. They will mostly function, but some abilities like Amplify will not work by the author's intention.

SWR Hidden Potential WotC confilicts with this mod. To resolve that, replace the Templar section in XComClassData.ini of SWR Hidden Potential WotC with contents in https://pastebin.com/pghP4aUh.

This mod is meant to be used with new campain. Activating this mod in mid-campain can cause strange behavior which I can't really fix.

Known Issue
Non-Humanoid organic enemies do not have void conduit animation, so they will be just suspended at T-pose.

So did anyone ever figure out how to make this work with RPGO?

Hi would it be ok to use some of the unreal script from this mod for a future project of my own?

There i 2 things that prevent me from using this mod. The fact you took bladestorm away from bounus skills and the fact you can't use rend with amplify. Also would like so see overcharge back into the skill tree there is an empty spot for it.

Comments saying it doesn't work, all three of Author's hero re-balancing mods work perfectly for me. Went through and made sure to delete all mods that effected their trees and gtg. WotC, all DLC, no Long War.

Doesn't work anymore sadly.
If you use this mod and want to reset your templars abilities you will need
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1370543410 - Lets you rebuild classes with console commands

and

I tried this mod in 2018 and now. Both Times the Tree is borked - The squaddie skills are repeated on corporal and I never get the colonel skills. The idea looked great, but I won't use it anymore. Since the author hasn't posted for over a year, I expect no solution, just wanted to tell ppl.

This worked right when I got it, the campaign after that, it's not working at all, didn't get fortress or reaper and I made it to colonel.
