NPC No Block - Exhaustion

What is this?

This is a "Experimental" mod I make when I trying to fix a combat issue when developing PROJECT SKYRIM.

Which is : NPC keeping Blocking when player keep attacking until NPC dead.

1. This mod make NPC into "Exhaustion" state when run out of stamina (stamina hit 0).

2. NPC can't start blocking during "Exhaustion" state.

3. NPC recover (hit 100% stamina) to out of Exhaustion.

This can effect NPC and the gameplay logic depends on what mods interaction you have. like stamina management mod, SCAR for NPC combo.

Even on it's own, it still make a huge difference.

It create a window for player to attack, make NPC vulnerable after they attacked you with all their strength(run out of stamina).

This "Exhaustion" state can also used by other mod as a condition, or add a magic effect on it.

Like work as a "framework" to work with other mods such as EVG Conditional Idles / EVG Conditionals extended

You can use the spell "IsExhaustionSpell(0x803)"  for other interaction like OAR mod like use as a condition or to make a damage debuff etc.

eg. HasSpell("NPC No Block Exhaustion.esp"|0x803)

Configuration MCM

Requirement

Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID)

With Valhalla Combat Exhaustion

If you using Valhalla Combat with it's Exhaustion feature, NPC can't attack once they run out of stamina until fully recover.

However, they can still block, and blocking cost stamina, which make them can't fully recover.

If player keep attacking them, it stop them form recover to get out of Exhaustion, and they have to block because they can't attack, and will lost stamina by it.

So they end up will block forever until they killed by player.

With this mod, they can no longer block when exhausting.

GamePlay side It go both ways:

For Player, it is your time to strike, try to kill them before they catch up their breathe, also rewards you for surviving their deadly combos.

For NPC, they will no longer try to block which slow down their recover(which will cause their doom), instead, they will refreshes themselves as fast as they can and back to the fight fairly.
