Related topic (v8.* but inherited to v9.1):
"Power Draw skill = 0 in Companions overview (details page)" by me

Not only "Power Draw" but also "Persuasion" and "Entertainment" are wrong. I hand-disassembled the *.txt and found out the cause and the solution.



As shown in the image above,
- In case that via the [P] key (party member list) we ask a specific companion about their skills, the correct value appears to be displayed, as it seems to be hard-coded.
- In case of companions overview (Market menu or Report menu), "Power Draw", "Persuasion", and "Entertainment" are wrong.
- The code that cause the problem is a try_for_range_backwards in jq_brows (scripts.txt)

My hand-disassembly for a part of it:
Code Select
try_for_range_backwards reg1 0 37  # 36, 35, 34, ... 1, 0
  is_between|neg reg1 3 4    # other than 3
  is_between|neg reg1 5 8    # other than 5, 6, 7
  is_between|neg reg1 21 22  # other than 21
  is_between|neg reg1 29 34  # other than 29, 30, 31, 32, 33
  store_skill_level reg2 reg1 "$jq_dude"
  str_store_string 1 "@{s1}^{reg2}"
  overlay_set_text "$jq_allskills" 1
try_end

The four ranges should be corrected as the solution below;
Code Select
2 3    # other than 2
4 7    # other than 4, 5, 6
21 22  # other than 21
28 33  # other than 28, 29, 30, 31, 32

By doing this (solution), the set of numbers used as skill will correctly change as below.
(I don't have header_skills.py of AWoIaF, and use the file of Module system 1.171 instead. I experimentally checked (cut-and-tried) and understand that "skl_reserved1 = 3" is assigned for the "Entertainment" skill of AWoIaf.)

- How to reproduce it/when/why it happens:
Hire several companions, take screen shots their skill by asking from [P] (party member list) as true values. Visit a town, select "Trade with locals" - "Companions overview", or "Report" - "Companions Overview" at the world map. Select each companion you have, and compare the "Power Draw", "Persuasion", and "Entertainment" skills with the true value.

- Game version (and steam or downloaded):
AWoIaF v9.1, v8.2. Warband v1.174 downloaded
(Note: v8.1 + WB v1.167 has the same problem. v7.11 + WB v1.167 has no problem)
