📋 About This Mod

This mod makes enemies (and you) drop random items from the inventory when struck in combat. With a low but meaningful chance, each unblocked hit to the arms can knock a weapon or shield loose, to the torso - a potion or another misc item, to the head - a helmet or a circlet.

This mechanic encourages to scan the battlefield after a fight - there might be something worth picking up among the corpses... including your own dropped gear.

How it Works:

  • []Uses Core Impact Framework (CIF) to detect valid hits that will trigger a spell

    []The spell runs a script

    []The script finds one random item in the target's inventory with a special keyword and makes them drop 1 to maximum amount available

    The system only processes:

    • []Torso hits: 1% chance to drop a random misc item or unequipped weapon

      []Arms hits:

      []1% chance to drop the currently equipped weapon

      []1% chance to drop the currently equipped shield

    []Head hits: 1% chance to knock off the helmet

    []Not blocked hits

    []Humanoid races (except dremora)

    Items That Can Be Dropped:

    Unequipped:

    • []KIL_AllowedMisc applied to:

      []Ingredient

      []Potion

      []Misc Item

      []Soul Gem

      []Ammo

      []Weapon

      Equipped:

      • []Weapons: KIL_AllowedWeapons

        []Shields: KIL_AllowedShields for any item of type Armor that includes shield or buckler in the name or editorID

        []Armor: KIL_AllowedArmor for items in slots 30 (head) and 42 (circlet)

        Customization:

        • []Change main configuration: Edit the KnockItLooseEffect.json inside SKSE\CoreImpactFramework\ to adjust values

          []Change dropped items: Edit the Knock It Loose_KID.ini to add or remove something
