in steel and magic

Items that grant these abilities can be found in barrels outside the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood.

This mod also uses "pose". These are the combinations of armor and weapons that can (or can't) be used to use this feature. The player's stance is checked when they draw their weapon (usually "r", ready).
