📋 About This Mod
This mod will enable classic Poise like DS1 and DS2. By classic, I mean the standing poise too, no more Hyperarmor=poise bs. The mod is only offline compatible, by playing online, you will risked getting ban and I do not hold responsibility for any losses.
I am aware that many mods had done this but not one of them are tailored for vanilla gamers so I decided to create one for the vanilla lovers.
Credit to Yapped creator, TKGP and Cinders's mod creator, Xylozi. I have to thank Xylozi for cracking the mystery of DS3 poise thus allow the making of this mod and do not forget to check out his DS3 total conversion mod, Cinders! And now with the mod engine release, another one added to the credit list: Katalash, as always, thank all of you for working on creating tools for all modders!
