📋 About This Mod

This mod is an overhaul of some of Ordinator's perks. Specifically Cast Aside, Backstab and Flame of Magnus. It also adds in a gun parry perk.

Compatible with Combat Gameplay Overhaul and Skysa Grip Switch. Incompatible with other mods that change any of these perks and Ordinator's Archery Perk Tree.

Cast Aside: Can now be used with all weapons and not just 1 handed. After doing a power bash with your shield, hit your enemy to deal critical damage.

Backstab: It's the same as before but can be used with all weapons and not just daggers. Yes, it can be used in combat.

Flame of Magnus: Now a 100% chance of dealing a critical strike

Gun Parry: This new perk does nothing on it's own, but when used for any mods that add in pistols, you can fire a pistol at an enemy while they are attacking. If shot at while attacking, enemy will be staggered. While staggered, if struck with a melee weapon then you deal critical damage. Uses any of the patches in the optional files for the mods that add pistols.

Credit goes to Vicn for Vigilant and Glemorial and EnaiSiaion for Ordinator.

  • Last updated in April 2024, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or Ordinator versions
  • Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the same Ordinator perks
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who love Ordinator but want a more Souls-like challenge in combat. If you're into dodge rolls, stamina management, and punishing difficulty, this could be your jam. Skip if you prefer vanilla-style perks or don't want to mess with your existing Ordinator setup.
