Stealth Overhaul Redux

Name: Stealth Overhaul Redux Version: 1. 0 Date: 5/25/2010 Category: Game Settings Requirements: Oblivion Patch 1. 2. 0. 416, OBSE v17 Author(s): Sandman53, JOG Description =========== This mod has been edited by me. I have stripped the mod of what I like to call \"fluff\" and whittled it down to a basic mod that does what I want it to do to sneak, and fixed some things I thought needed fixing. Here is a list of what I have done, followed by the original Readme: Edit: - Fixed the Assassination script and merged it with the main script - Removed the in-game menu in favor of a self loading ini file. Also cleaned up the ini and made it more descriptive. - Removed the Sneak toggle, Weapon Stat key, and Gear keys (See recommended mods below) - Cleaned up the scripts/quests as much as a could, but only a bit. This mod attempts to make Sneaking around more interesting and worthwhile, wearing Heavy Armor is now a serious issue, and Sneak-Attacks with the right-weapons are much more powerful. Features: - The backstabbing multiplier is dependent on the weapon\'s speed and range/size, a small dagger might have up to x15 while slow Longswords and Maces might have no multiplier at all. - Worn Heavy Armor as well as drawn Weapons and Shields now apply a penalty to your sneak skill. - Wearing no armor at all grants you a 10% bonus to sneak - Many customisation-options easy to apply with an INI file! Armor Penalty --------------------- Equipping Weapons and Armor now lowers your sneak skill: Shield: Holding any shield while sneaking will lower your sneak skill by 1/3 of the shield\'s weight. Cuirass: Heavy-Armor cuirasses apply 1/3 of their weight as sneak-penalty Greaves: Heavy-Armor greaves apply 1/2 of their weight as sneak-penalty Boots: Heavy-Armor boots apply 1/2 of their weight as sneak-penalty Combined Armor: The penalty for Combined Heavy Armor (e.g. Heavy Arena Rainment) is about half its weight (Upper Body: 16,7% + Lower Body 25% + Boots 10%) Weapon Penalty --------------------- When you hold a weapon while sneaking a penalty to your sneak skill is applied depending on the weapon\'s general type and range (size) Bows & Staffs: -6 Two Handed: -12 One Handed: 11 * range -5 (rounded up) When the equipped weapon is a dagger (very short blade) the penalty is reduced by your grade of mastery in the Sneak Skill (Novice = 0 ... Master = 4) You can customise the base penalty (that is applied to bows) the other penalties will be changed accordingly. see Customisation section for details. Backstabbing --------------------- Melee Sneak Attacks: Sneak-attack damage with melee weapons is now dependent on the weapons type and speed, and stealth-skill-mastery has more effect: Sneak Weak Standard Strong Deadly ------------------------------------------- Novice x1 x2 x2 x3 Apprentice x2 x
