Hand-to-hand rebalancing

Improved fist weapon stats and fixed existing bugs to make unarmed combat more enjoyable and consistent

While there are plenty of mods that alter Skyrim's unarmed combat, there are few that alter your own fist stats. I find this unfortunate because there is something inherent in Fist weapons that makes them feel clunky and unreliable. This mod aims to solve this problem by changing some statistics and fix some bugs related to unarmed attack data in race records.

The changes to fist weapons are as follows:

Attack speed increased by 25% (1->1.25)

Interleaving increased to 0.7 (was 0)

Sound detection level changed to silent

Changes to the match record are as follows:

Fists' dual-wield power attacks now correctly deal 1.5x damage, consistent with dual-wield weapon ability attacks

Dual-wielding fist power attacks now have 0.5 staggered power (from 0), consistent with one-handed fist power attacks

Fist dual-wield power attacks now correctly use 50% of the stamina cost per attack, consistent with dual-wield weapon ability attacks

-This means that the total stamina cost of a two-fisted power attack is 1.5x that of a standard power attack, instead of the vanilla 3x stamina cost

Fixed a number of inconsistencies in match attack logs.

Weapon editing is not compatible with mods that edit or replace vanilla fist weapons. Patches for SPERG are provided, but I can patch other incompatible mods upon request (assuming they are in fact incompatible). Ordinator compatible, no patches required.

EthnicityEdit

Any mod that edits vanilla playable races is incompatible with my edits. Therefore, I separated the race Edits into an optional esp.

-These compatibility *might* be fixed with a Smash Patch, but I haven't tested if the attack data is patched

-Morningstar-Skyrim Minimalistic Races are compatible as it does not edit the race record itself, only its power

-I provide the patch for Fighting Game Overhaul in the installer.

While there are plenty of mods that alter Skyrim's unarmed combat, there are very few that alter the fists' statistics themselves. I find this unfortunate, as there are a few inherent properties within the Fist Weapons that make them feel clunky and unreliable. This mod aims to fix that by changing a few of these stats, as well as resolving some errors related to the unarmed attack data in the Race records.

The changes to the fist weapon are as follows:

Attack speed increased by 25% (1 -> 1.25)

Stagger increased to 0.7 (was previously 0)

Sound Detection level changed to Silent

Changes to the Race Records are as follows:

Dual Wield Power Attacks with fists now correctly deal 1.5x damage, in line with dual wield weapon power attacks

Dual Wield Power Attacks with fists now have 0.5 Stagger Mult (up from 0), in line with single handed fist power attacks

Dual Wield Power Attacks with Fists now correctly use 50% stamina cost per attack, in line with dual wield weapon power attacks

-This means that dual wield fist power attacks will use 1.5x the stamina cost of a standard power attack overall, as opposed to the 3x staminaconsumption of vanilla

Fixed numerous inconsistencies within the race Attack Records.
