📋 About This Mod

This is a small, quick mod to address a bug with Sneak Attack reactions and Greater Invisibility.

When a character is under the effects of Greater Invisibility, you may notice that attacks that should qualify for Sneak Attack don't trigger the Sneak Attack reaction. The explicit Sneak Attack actions still work, but not others that depend on the reaction like Off-Hand Attack. This is because most reactions don't trigger when invisible! Note that regular invisibility does seem to work with sneak attack reactions, probably because the attack breaks invisibility and allows them to trigger. You may notice opportunity attacks also don't trigger when invisible.

What this mod does to fix this is to add a flag to the Sneak Attack interrupts (there's one for normal hits and another for critical hits).

So what are you waiting for? Cast Greater Invisibility on yourself and sneak attack your way to victory!

Installation:

Install via the usual methods. If you install mods manually like I do, add the .pak file to your Mods folder and add these lines to your modsettings.lsx after the GustavDev entry:

<node id="ModuleShortDesc">

<attribute id="Folder" type="LSString" value="SneakAttackWhenInvisible"/>

<attribute id="MD5" type="LSString" value=""/>

<attribute id="Name" type="LSString" value="SneakAttackWhenInvisible"/>

<attribute id="UUID" type="FixedString" value="0014d239-eae9-4aca-8cb4-0ca377466804"/>

<attribute id="Version64" type="int64" value="36028797018963968"/>

</node>

Compatibility:

This mod should be compatible with other mods that modify Sneak Attack, as long as it's loaded after any mods that redefine the Sneak Attack interrupt objects. For example, I have tested this mod works with Sneak Attack Plus to trigger Sneak Attack on spells that use an attack roll, all while under Greater Invisibility.

Credits:

All credit for this mod has to go to the Feats Extra mod by LostSoulMan (and wesslen for the proper fix), which fixed a similar issue to allow the Elven Accuracy feat to work with Greater Invisibility. This mod uses the same exact method.
