SphincterVision Attacks

SphincterVision Attacks!

Tweaks to combat formula to increase skill's contribution to hit chance and adding critical strike damage.  Inverse scaling of materials for hit chance.  Also includes combat messages to show attack effectiveness and evasion.  Armor now absorbs damage, and evasion more effective with less armor.  Difficulty settings allow the player to choose how much damage is given and received, as well as enemy skill and total health of class enemies.  Can toggle whether monsters do critical hits.  Settings to always do maximum damage on a critical hit, and also a toggle for all attacks to always hit, with missed and dodged attacks only doing 1 damage.

Settings menu allows the player to choose how to scale player and enemy damage, from x0. 3 damage to x3. 0.  This can help if one feels they are doing too little or too much damage at their level.

Settings also allows the player to adjust the enemy's skill - one chooses the level where the enemy has 100% skill.  Vanilla is level 14, this mod defaults to 18.  The lower the level in this setting, the more difficult the enemy is regarding to their skill success (higher accuracy, higher dodge, higher success rolls, etc.)  This mod sets it to 18 so that the player's dodge skill stays more relevant longer, along with agility.

Another setting sets the maximum level to scale class enemy health, Vanilla is unbound, while this mod defaults to level 18.  If you feel class enemies get too much health at higher levels, this can make it more manageable.

A setting that allows monsters to critical hit.  By default it is off, as this can cause some huge damage spikes with higher level enemies that already have their damage set high.

A setting to always roll maximum damage on a critical hit, this is on by default to match the description of critical hits doing explosive damage on hit.  However, this also applies for enemies too!

A setting to turn off higher materials decreasing accuracy - this makes higher than silver neutral to accuracy rather than decreasing with better weapons.  Default is off.

A setting to change how Endurance affects health on level up - this makes endurance apply to minimum health rolls to reduce the reliance on increasing endurance for health.  Setting is off by default.

A setting to turn on always hit on attack - missed attacks in the calculation will do 1 damage instead of miss.  A requested a feature, however it does make it easier to beat down opponents, unless the damage is adjusted that is.  By default, this is off.

A setting for Skilled Poison - poison attacks are based on attacker's backstabbing skill, a percent chance on a hit to apply the poison.  Affects both enemies and players.  Default is on.

Critical Strike now applies damage to a successful critical hit along with hit chance, as per the Daggerfall Chronicles:

Critical Damage = 1 + (. 50 + critical strike/200) x damage
