📋 About This Mod
Stamina in skyrim is boring. This mod aims to make it complete gameplay feature.
Mod was completely reworked and completely renamed. In a few releases it will be perfect, I suppose.
I have a discord server now, where you could find useful info about my mods, suggest your ideas for
released or new mods and give me a feedback. Also I planning to record
some tutorials about SKSE modding soon, you could find it in the
according channel.
Mod has actually 3 separate functions (working with both player and NPC of course)
- [] Block actions if the actor does not have enough stamina for them.
[
] Сustom configurable stamina consumption for many actions.[] Сustom configurable stamina regeneration.
Everything is highly configurable and you can tweak this in MCM, which is persistent across characters. interesting, how many people skipped my mod just because of mcm absence :(
Blocking actions
Actions you can block/allow with low stamina:
- [] Melee attacks;
[] Bashes;
[] Bow shots (do not confuse with crossbow);
[] Blocking;
[] Jumping;
[] Running.
Player melee attacks can either be blocked or scaled. It means that you still can attack with low stamina, but with less damage. For example, if attack cost is 50, you have only 10 stamina, then you deal only 20% of total damage.
Also you can allow any action, in this case you can perform the action no matter how many stamina you have. In this way it is possible to make deal power attacks without stamina.
Action cost
Action cost depends on weight of appropriate part. Below is a list with them:
- [] Melee attack — attacking weapon (or fist);
[] Bash — bashing item (weapon, bow or shield);
[] Bow shot — bow weight;
[] Bowstring taut — bow weight;
[] Blocking — blocked item (weapon or shield) + attacking item;
[] Jumping — curiass;
[] Swimming — curiass;
[] Running — total equipped weight.
In general, formula is ‘k weight + b’, where k & b you can tweak for every action type.
Level influence
If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!
As the level increases, the costs of the action increase. To be able to perform same number of actions during you playthrough, you should upgrade stamina every ‘k’ levels (configurable).
Skill influence
As the skill increases, the costs of the action decrease. You become more and more efficient warrior, you less tired. The skill nat
- [] Melee attack — attacking weapon (or fist);
- [] Melee attacks;
