📋 About This Mod
Unlocks weapon skills for summons that normally can't use them. Swords can score a wicked bleed; spears can run someone through; axes can ask gnarly questions. Doesn't necessarily make AI use the skills, though.
Very little testing. Have only tested this with a handful of skeletons in a single save instance as part of a solution to the issue (working so far but undesirable in the smaller scope of my use-case), and don't intend to pursue it further. So I just released this since I figured others may want it, too.
Overwrites the Name attribute associated with the AI_BLOCKWEAPONACTIONS tag. Load order shouldn't matter unless something else is overwriting the tag.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (166k) shows it's a go-to for summon players.
- Tiny mod that does exactly what it says—no bloat.
- Recently updated (Jan 2024), so likely works with current game version.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 178 endorsements compared to downloads—maybe not everyone's cup of tea.
- Limited scope: only affects summons with weapons, not all summons.
For summoner builds who want their minions to be more than just meat shields. If you rely on weapon-wielding summons and want them to unleash special attacks, this is a must-try. Skip if you prefer pure vanilla summon behavior or don't use weapon summons.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game version is compatible with the mod's last update (Jan 2024) before installing.
- If you use a mod manager, install via that to keep track easily; otherwise, drop the file into your mod folder.
- Test with a summon that has a weapon to see the new skills in action.
