💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a Morrowind mod, make sure you have the Morrowind Code Patch or OpenMW for best stability, though not required.
  • If you use a mod manager like Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2, install this mod and let it overwrite any conflicting combat mods.
  • Test combat early with a low-level character to see how the 100% hit chance feels—you might need to adjust difficulty settings.
