📋 About This Mod

About:
I've always felt that shields were lacking in the world of Skyrim modding and not many interesting ones are created. wanted to create something that looked visually appealing but also contributed to a tank-like play style.
Lionheart is a big shield which you can hide behind, recuperate some health, all while tanking some enemies. This shield would be perfect for a Warrior or Paladin character and hopefully bring its own style of play that utilises its heath restore and bashing effects to defeat enemies.
What this mod includes:
Lionheart
45 Armor Rating. Active blocking gradually restores health, deflects arrows & reduces magical damage by 40%. Bashing knocks down enemies.
Obtaining:
The Lionheart is smithed under the "Daedric" category.
Questions:
Q. Are you going to make the sword too?
A. Not at this time.
Q. Can you make it smaller? I can't see in first person mode!
A. No. Also, you're not supposed to be able to see if you're hiding behind a shield, it defeats the purpose!
Q. A Mod this beautiful should have some more elaborate method of obtaining!
A. I know, but I don't have that sort of free time.
Q. Can you change the size, add this this and this?
A. These types of things are considered during the creation. The release version is how I intend it to be.
Known Issues:
- Slight clipping with some armor types. I think this goes for a lot of shields though.
Cleaned with SSEedit.
