Skirmisher - Throwing Weapons Expansion

===================

Description

===================

Skirmisher is a mod that aims (get it?) to make throwing weapons a viable choice for specialization.

The two main properties that constrain this in vanila are:

Lack of appropriate perks

Scarcity of actual weapons

(e.g in the vanilla game, you only come across throwing knives and hatchets very rarely, and spears are only somewhat available, but only if you fight the legionaries...)

To offset those constraints:

This mod adds a bunch of new recipes that will allow you to make and improve throwing weapons.

It also adds three new perks that will help your character specialize in throwing weapons and unlock even better recipes.

There will also be new poisons for you to craft at campfires.

The mod is inspired by, and is a direct improvement of the Throwing Weapon Recipes by Sankis (see credits), with my own changes, and contains elements from a couple of other mods as well.

Aside from letting you craft all standard throwing weapons, and improve them at a workbench, you will also be able to make Tomahawks and Proton/Inversal throwing axes once you start the appropriate DLC.

(I did this by checking if you completed the introduction quest for the DLC, for example: Protonic Throwing Axes will only be available after you complete "Midnight Science Fiction Feature!".)
