📋 About This Mod
Fighting Styles of Tamriel by Yarharhar (yarharhar@yarsoft.com) V1. 8 Bugfix Update Reset functionality can undo the weynon/orcish stance sticky values. Important Note If Manually Upgrading from 1. 1/1. 0 (without the Nexus Mod Manager or Steam Workshop) Remove the old included script files: OrcStancePowerScript.pex,/psc, FightingStyle_AddChangePower.pex/psc, and fightingStanceMenuScript.pex/psc. These files are now included in the bsa file and are easier to manage there. Updates 1. 8 - Bugfixes Apparently the Orcish/Weynon Stances are still resulting in some sticky values. I\'m working on a new way of tracking these changes to fix this, but in the meantime the Reset function can undo this bug. 1. 7 - Bugfixes I believe I have squashed the rare case of orcish or weynon stance values getting stuck in wrong states. Sneak attacking with bows in Akaviri stance no longer does insane damage. 1. 6 - Addendum Added a \'reset\' option, if needed, when upgrading from 1. 1/1. 0. 1. 5 - General The quest managing the different styles, handling future updates, and ensuring the player has the \"Change Fighting Style\" ability was completely rewritten.

Orcish Stance Balance: Power-Attacking now costs more stamina than before Balance: Orcish Stance Power-Strike is no longer a guaranteed disarm. A few factors come into play. Style section has details. Balance: Orcish Stance\'s armor-piercing ability is now a reward after staying in the stance for 1-hour. Appearance: Orcish Stance\'s animations and attack speed have been modified. Combatants now wind-up and then strike at normal speed, rather than the previous - \"Swinging through molasses\" method :) Akaviri Stance Balance: Power-Attacking in Akaviri Stance costs less stamina than before Balance: Akaviri Stance gains a reward at 1-in-game hour of use. A bleeding effect on all physical damage. 15 damage spread over 10 seconds. Weynon Stance A new stance has been added! Weynon stance is a countering-friendly way of fighting, offering high defense until struck, then momentarily giving a damage boost to counter-attack. 1. 1 - Bugfix Release, this made the Nexus and Steam versions Equivalent 1. 0 - Initial Release. Steam version worked, Nexus version did not Intro Throughout all of Tamriel and Nirn itself, warriors of all caliber have been honing their skills and talents. But not all talents, and indeed, fighting st
