Bruiser - Hand to Hand Skill

Bruiser: Hand-to-Hand Skill

Bruiser: Hand-to-Hand Skill adds a new unarmed skill, complete with a perk tree, skill scaling effects, skill boosting enchantments and alchemy effects. A C++ SKSE NG plugin is used to enable most of the features, so the mod is very script light.

The perk tree uses your normal skill tree perk points, not a special perk point system. It is intended to be treated like a regular skill tree.

Each hit of an unarmed attack advances your Hand-to-Hand skill, scaling with the current damage as modified by perks and current effective skill level. Skill experience is based off the same formula as what the game uses for other skills. Refer here for how that works. You can adjust Hand-to-Hand leveling as you like by modifying the file in SKSE\Plugins\BruiserHandToHandSKSEPlugin.ini

You gain player experience using the same formulas a regular skill level up, ie. Hand-to-Hand Level Earned * fXPPerSkillRank. If you use an alternative experience mod, you can disable this.

Bruiser is ESL flagged and won't take a regular ESP slot.
