📋 About This Mod
With this mod, any attack, no matter if Player's or some other actor's, which has hit its target will have a chance to be upgraded to a Critical Hit, dealing much more damage than usual. The Critical Hit chance depends on the Attacker's Luck attribute:
Crit Chance(%)= ((Luck / 100) ^ 3 / 2)
(meaning, with 40 starting Luck your Crit Chance would be around 3%)
The Critical Hit damage is first multiplied by a base value (configurable in Mod Configuration Menu, 3 by default) and then by the weapon's Speed rate (varies from 1. 0 for most weapons to 2. 5 for daggers):
Crit Damage = Base Damage Base Crit Mult Weapon Speed
Requirements:
The latest MCP and MGE XE
The latest development version of MWSE 2. 1
MWSE 2. 1-dev requires MGE XE 0. 10 or higher!
