Those characters might be using a custom ability (built for their mod) that mimics the normal abilities. Look in that mod's files to see if you can find any AbilityNames. Then open this mod's files and add those AbilityNames to the list of ValidHeadshotAbilities

So I found an issue, I use the trainable skirmisher, templar, and reaper class mods, and it seems like none of those characters can benefit from these. How would I go about fixing this?

Ripjack strikes and the Wrath ability with Skirmishers don't work for some reason :/

Thanks for the compliment! Unfortunately I am long retired from XCOM 2 modding, but anyone is welcome to take this mod and make an alternate version!

I do love your mods, thank you for them! Although I find this one particularly easily to cheese :( Is there any chance of an alternate version that maybe doesn't refund the full point, maybe like gives a reduction to move, or something? Some way of nerfing it? With a templar who can dash and deal good damage it's a little full on!

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.
