True Bleed - A Damage Over Time Bleeding Overhaul

Have you ever felt that combat in Oblivion looks brutal… but somehow no one never actually suffers from bleeding?

True Bleed fixes that.

This mod introduces a real, physical bleeding system to melee and ranged combat. Blades cut. Axes tear. Arrows pierce. And when steel bites flesh, blood flows — slowly, painfully, and relentlessly.

Not every hit causes bleeding. Not every bleed is the same. Sometimes it’s a light cut… sometimes it’s a deep wound that won’t stop pouring.

Welcome to True Bleed

🩸 What Does True Bleed Do? 🩸

True Bleed adds a Damage-Over-Time (DoT) bleeding system that applies to:

✔️ The player

✔️ All major weapon types

✔️ Hand-to-hand combat

✔️ With full level scaling

When a successful hit lands, there is a chance to apply a bleed effect. If it triggers, the target will take damage every second for a short duration — just like a real wound that keeps draining life.

Think of it as:

“You didn’t die from the hit… but you might die from the bleeding.”

⚔️ Weapon-Based Bleeding (Not All Cuts Are Equal)

Every weapon type has its own bleed profile.

A dagger might cause small but frequent cuts.

A longsword can open deeper wounds.

Axes tear. Blunt weapons sometimes cause internal bleeding — and sometimes none at all.

Each weapon has multiple bleed tiers, meaning:

Different damage values

Different durations

Different rarity

Sometimes you’ll cause a light scratch.

Sometimes you’ll land a vicious strike that makes your enemy stagger as their health drains away.

This creates natural combat variation — no two fights feel exactly the same.

🎲 Randomized Tiers = Organic Combat

Bleeding is not guaranteed.

Each hit rolls against a small table of outcomes:

Strong bleed

No bleed at all

This keeps combat unpredictable and fair. You won’t be applying DoTs constantly — but when it happens, you feel it.

Enemies can bleed you out ju
