📋 About This Mod

I've been a fan of Madrilous's Throwing Weapons mods for a long time. The problem is that they were too script heavy for my machine to handle quickly. This mod is a fix for that and implements throwing weapons in a very "script light" fashion.

The weapons show up as ammo in your inventory, have weight, and are equipped to the right hand. NPCs and followers can also use the weapons. They're added to the leveled lists dynamically using scripts so it can maintain compatibility with all other mods.

The damage of the weapons increases in relation to the player's one-handed (or marksmanship) skill and level it up on successful hits. They also cost stamina to throw and damage can be doubled or halved depending on how much stamina you have when you throw. Damage from the throwing weapons also benenfits from sneak attacks and is reduced by the target's armor rating or can be completely negated with a shield or ward.

As of Version 2. 0, new grenade weapons have been added. These weapons can be crafted using a new power you recieve called "craft grenades." You start off knowing only how to craft a couple of them and have to collect formulas that can be found on enemies, in dungeon chests, and occasionally in alchemy shops.

Currently, these are the weapons available:

Throwing Knives:

These are the fastest to throw, do weak damage, and fly at a medium distance. Weight is 0. 1. They lightly stagger opponents and also benefit from added damage during a sneak attack.

Throwing Axes:

These do the most damage, fly the shortest distance, and have a medium throwing speed. Weight is 5. They stagger opponents on hit.

These fly the farthest, do moderate damage, and but have the slowest throwing speed. Weight is 9. They heavily stagger opponents on hit.

Dwarven oil pots that lay down a burning slick of oil that damages anyone that is caught in them. Weight is 0. 25.

Frost Potion Grenades:

A bottle of ice cold liquid that freezes opponents solid on contact and does frost damage. It's also available as a poison that can be found

in alchemy shops and be applied to weapons and arrows. Weight is 0. 5.

Smoke Bombs:

Bombs that stagger opponents caught in the initial explosion and release smoke clouds that blind opponents and can be used as cover. Weight is 1.

The most powerful throwing weapon of all! Explodes with massive force and heavily damages anyone caught in the explosion after a few seconds.

Be very afraid when you hear the trademark sound of this weapon's burning fuse. However, if you're quick enough (and brave enough) these weapons can be disarmed by activating them. Weight is 3.
