Nidbanes scale in power with their target, the quality of their fetter, and the severity of the crime. The Nidbane has the target's stats, times a factor per crime -- 0.3 for theft, 0.5 for vandalism, 0.6 for battery, and 1.2 for murder -- softcapped by the Fetter's qualities.
Not sure if I can make it much more clear than that. Fetter softcapping is important, once character reaches Titan stats it makes Nidbanes sent against it are more or less useless. (Especially with crop caps and removal of spiraling further reducing highest possible Fetter quality) Although Nidbanes are generally considered useless because people can/tend to commit crimes with alts that have no combat stats and then use much stronger character to kill any Nidbane(s) sent against the crime alt.
