📋 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.
