Sneak Attack Experience

Simple MWSE Lua mod that adds Sneak experience when an enemy is hit via a sneak attack. For instance, if you manage to do a critical strike with a bow then this mod will add Sneak experience together with the already existing Marksmanship experience. The reason this mod exists is to include leveling Sneak as part of the core gameplay of a stealth character. You can finally stop hugging walls in taverns to grind sneak and instead play that stealth character you really like.

A note about leveling: this mod doesn't remove the standard way to level up Sneak meaning that a real "full stealth" character will level up Sneak fairly quickly. This is on purpose as the more Sneak is used the faster it should level up. The consequence of this is that illusion+stealth+melee characters will level up fairly quickly but that was the case also in the OG mechanic. In Morrowind, sneaking up to an enemy and manage to hit them with a melee attack is quite the feat and should be rewarded :). My mod just makes it even more effective. I may add a configuration later to slow down leveling up sneaking if I realize it's too fast.

This mod uses MWSE Lua and is not compatible with OpenMW. I love OpenMW and it should be the way to play Morrowind but I have no idea how to make such mod for OpenMW.

technically Morrowind has no concept of sneak attack. In this mod a sneak attack is a critical strike while sneaking.
