📋 About This Mod
About
This mod adds spear/javelin weapons and the animation to go with it. These are of the sword type and
uses the one-handed perk tree. Both the player and NPCs can use the
spears along with animations. The spears can be crafted and can be found
on bandits you encounter.
Update: As of now and future releases will not support FNIS/Nemesis and will instead be utilizing DAR
(Dynamic Animation Replacer)
Skyrim LE version: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/97220
Spear Grip Mechanic: When using the spear with a shield or off-hand weapon the one-handed animation will be used. If the
left hand is unequipped and empty then both hands will grip the spear
and the two-handed animation will be used. While in this pseudo
two-handed mode you gain an attack damage boost of a fixed 1 point.
Using magic on the left hand is considered empty, both hands grip the
spear until you cast a spell.
Javelin Throw: Blockbash and power blockbash will throw the javelin. Javelin damage is
the base damage x2. 5 ignoring armor and can stagger the foe.
Custom Skeleton: This mod uses a custom skeleton to enable sheathing the spear/javelin
to the back. If you use a different mod that includes a skeleton then
this mod's skeleton will not be used. So if you use XPMSE then my
skeleton will be ignored and the game should resume with XPMSE as
