Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Leadership bonus - 5m limit?

Personally don't like this 5m limit its way too small.

I love the idea of the leadership skill but I simply don't see the logic in why characters must be so close to the leader to get the benefits.

The bonus should apply if they are in the same fight. This should be the only requirement.

Or if they can see the leader perhaps.

I think it was like that before but was too OP. Seems to have gone a bit far in the other direction now. I agree 5m isn't far - especially if your leader is an archer or something.

IF it was 5M and goes up in range and effect as you level it up then it will be fair.

But LoS or whole area won't work especially when you have to consider that they might make future enemies with Leadership and giving a global dodge/res to every enemy in the game will make it more frustrating to play than anything when you start missing tons of hit. It add a strat where you have to keep the leadership enemy away from the area and that you either need to have a guide or Loremaster to know which one has the "leadership"

issue is,
1. Leader do not get any bonus.
2. Bonuses are useful for melee >>> Leader should be a mage.

To fix a Leadership, make it 6m wide and add something for owner of the skill.
fearless ?
More HP ?
MA/PA bonus?
initiative bonus ?
