📋 About This Mod

Chocolate poise is a mod that I've been using and enjoying for quite a while. However, it took me a ton of tweaks and some complimentary mods to really bring the experience together. My goal is to share the culmination of these tweaks to other people who might be interested.

  • []Adds poise perk integration for most major perk overhauls (Except for Vokriinator)

    []Reworks stagger animations to better fit with a poise system

    []Tweaks INI and JSON settings to better fit with other combat overhauls

    []Adds integration with other combat overhauls

    Hard Requirements

    • []Chocolate Poise (and all of its requirements)

      []Keyword Item Distributor

      []Open Animation Replacer

      []Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID)

      Note: Chocolate Poise comes with an ESP. The ESP adds extra conditions to prevent instances where you could attack, move, etc. while staggered and also changes the Vanilla "Power Shot" perk. All of the ESPs included in my mod already contain these fixes, so make sure you either delete or disable this plugin, as it may conflict with other mods.

      Recommendations

      • []Valhalla Combat AND/OR Sekiro Combat S

        []Fenix Stamina Overhaul OR Blade and Blunt OR Plus Combat

        []NK's Faster Walk Speeds or anything that improves vanilla walk speed

        []Stagger Direction Fix

        []First Person Stagger Animation Remade (If you play in 1st person view)

        []Any Dodge mod that gives you I-frames

        Important Installation Notes

        []If you install this mod, make sure you delete or disable the ESP from the original Chocolate Poise mod to avoid conflicts

        []Keep in mind that Fenix Stamina Overhaul is only available on SE 1. 5. 97 and lower. If you are playing on AE, you will have to use a different combat overhaul.

        []If you decide to use both Fenix stamina overhaul and Valhalla, make sure you set Fenix's combat stamina regen to 0. 00 and Valhalla's combat stamina regen to whatever you want (I would recommend anywhere from 1. 5 - 2. 5).

        []If you want to
