📋 About This Mod

Removes the damage cap on Hand to Hand attacks, main file removes Strength (optional Strength included version) from improving Hand to Hand allowing you to dedicate points elsewhere, and balances the damage scaling to hopefully match normal

WAY OF THE FISTDOES NOT UNCAP ANY ATTRIBUTES OR SKILLS, ONLY MODIFIES THE DAMAGE FORMULA

Removes the damage cap on Hand to Hand attacks, removes Strength from improving Hand to Hand allowing you to dedicate points elsewhere, and balances the damage scaling to hopefully match normal weapons. A restoration/conjuration spell to improve melee damage is in the works!

Several game settings were modified to balance and improve hand to hand throughout the game. NPC Hand to Hand has also be modified so they aren't as keen to drop their swords and throw a jab.

How it's done

Hand to hand damage formula written in python:

# Online Python - IDE, Editor, Compiler, Interpreter

def sum(a, b):

return (a + b)

#Player Stats example

StrengthAttribute = 60

HandToHandSkill = 50

# Game Settings

fHandDamageStrengthMult = 0

fHandDamageSkillMult = 0. 0192

fHandHealthMax = 80000

fHandDamageStrengthBase = . 0184

fHandDamageSkillBase = 0

fBlockAmountHandToHandMult = . 5

iPerkHandToHandBlockRecoilChance = 40

# Original Damage Scaling

Damage = 1 + (15 - 1) (StrengthAttribute / 100 0. 75 + 0) (HandToHandSkill / 100 1. 0 + 0)

# Way of the Fist Damage Scaling

WayOfTheFistDamage = 1 + (fHandHealthMax - 1)

(StrengthAttribute / 100 fHandDamageStrengthMult + fHandDamageStrengthBase)

(HandToHandSkill / 100 * fHandDamageSkillMult + fHandDamageSkillBase)

print('Vanilla:', Damage)

print('Way of the Fist:', WayOfTheFistDamage)
