📋 About This Mod
Weapons and Armors Attributes
This mod aim to provide something that lacked in vanilla, attributes for armors and weapons where every vanilla and mod-added equipment will have unique attributes based on it`s material.
Armors feel more unique as armor rating is not the only thing to be considered as they also provide coverage from elemental damage but reduce the wearer stamina and magicka regeneration rates as well as movement speed based on it`s weight. Every armor will have a different coverage and encumbrance stats as it`s dynamically calculated based on it`s base armor rating, weight and material. This feature extend to NPCs as well and the player receive a lesser power called "Armor Inspection" for a convenient way to check how your currently equipped armor is affecting you.
Weapons and armors also have material attributes that make sense and is as balanced and lore-friendly as possible. Iron, Steel and Leather are commom materials and easy to use, thus it`s attributes focus on the wearer condition, Orcish armors is made of a hard material and can stagger the attacker on unblocked hits, Dwarven is heavy and the attacker will have a hard time when hitting you, damaging it`s stamina, Elven have magical properties and can absorb incoming spells, Daedric can cause fear on the attacker and call for daedric favors at night time, and so on, see the full list bellow.
Many times, armors and weapons of the same material will have a nice synergy with each other or you can mix then to favor your playstyle. To unlock armor attributes you need at least 3 pieces equipped of given armor type.
