Description

  • []This SKSE plugin allows NPCs to (accidentally) hit their comrades, and even turn on each other with enough damage. This affects everyone, from guards to bandits.[/]
    • []Mods that prevent allied friendly fire, such as Simple Offence Suppression MCM - Block Friendly Fire, will take precedence over this mod.[/]
      • []Melee friendly fire will probably require mods that make weapons hit multiple targets.[/]
