Dynamic Stamina - combat actions and movement use stamina

Dynamic Stamina

Mod Author: skyrimaguas

Have you ever felt that stamina is pretty much useless? Aside from power attacking and sprinting, there isn't any much use for it because by default, its influence on your character is purely optional. I always end up with tons of stamina boosting potions and food which I never really felt the need to use.

This mod aims to change that and make stamina a vital attribute in performing actions. Now, combat actions and movement will use a certain amount of stamina making it relevant to your character as much as magicka or health.

Stamina becomes your character's "energy" points or "action points" (like in Fallout) and having more or less of its amount will have consequences on your gameplay - you can become "tired" as you lose stamina by doing actions in combat, getting hit or simply moving around in general. You will need to take a short rest to recover stamina (or drink that stamina potion or eat food).

With Dynamic Stamina, investing in your character's stamina points will matter as it can allow you to do more actions.
