Make Hep ancestor dodge your shots

[PlatinumSpider]

You should still be able to fire at an enemy when the ancestor is in the way like with demonic guardian.

If Hep is considered already on the strong side, what power reduction would you suggest to go along with the above?

Shutting off friendly fire is more of a quality-of-life sort of thing. It makes having an ally less annoying, which is preferable regardless of what impact it has on character power. Perpetual irritation should not be the sort of penalty applied to compensate for a particular upgrade's strength.

This. Playing as a hunter or conjurer and using a knight ancestor is annoying when it should be fun. Why should the god of ally make a worse interaction for your ally than a demonspawn mutation? If you need to balance it, which is questionable with it already taking 10% of your health, then you can apply a -1 slay to ranged attacks through ancestors.
