📋 About This Mod
-
[]2. 0+ is a full rework of the mod to make absolutely certain, without a damn doubt that you don't accidentally kill people.
[
]Toggle Non-Lethal Attacks is now Toggle Non-Lethal Aura. A 30 meter radius where enemies inside will not die, and are instead knocked unconscious.[]Toggle Non-Lethal Aura is a per-character toggle to keep it performance friendly.
[]Toggle Non-Lethal Aura even works when you're dead.
[]The restrictions on what types of characters can be knocked out has not been removed, so blowing up quest flags by knocking out someone you shouldn't have won't take place.
[]For the moment this includes all enemies, and allies regardless of where the damage actually comes from so long as they're in range. In the future I may come up with a more immersive solution, but for now just providing everyone the option to not suffer with the fickle vanilla mechanics is good enough.
Known issues:
- []None.
Known conflicts:
- []Non-Lethal Ranged Attacks and Spells
Load order:
- []Load after other mods editing the "NonLethal" passive, or the "NON_LETHAL" condition.
