painful effort

A simple "painful effort" feature that allows you to temporarily lose weight, but with some added side effects. Can be activated once a day.

This is a more balanced version of my mod Endurance that saves weight (it's a simple cheat). This was a request from IchBinKeinRoboter, so his idea is appreciated.

After loading the game, players will receive the power of Pain. It can be activated once every 24 hours in the game. Effect of activating power:

Stamina regeneration speed increased by 100% for 5 seconds,

Movement speed increased by 20% for 30 seconds,

Carrying weight increases maximum endurance by 50% for 30 seconds,

Adds +10 melee damage bonus for 30 seconds.

Weapon speed is increased by 10% for 30 seconds.

After the stamina regeneration buff is depleted (after 5 seconds), painful side effects take effect:

Stamina recovery rate reduced by 50% for 300 seconds (5 minutes),

Within 25 seconds, bleeding damage will reduce health by 25 points.

All effects and their remaining time are visible in the "Active Effects" tab of the Magic menu.

So now, instead of being a simple cheat, this power has some real consequences and can potentially be used in some more creative ways (like when you're surprised by a fight because you over-support).

Require

------------------------------

SKSE (any version) is a mandatory requirement. It provides functionality that allows effect sizes to be changed dynamically in scripts. It allows me to minimize scripting and make most of my mods using magic effects in CK.

Install

----------------------------

Talk to your mod manager. Back up your saves - I always recommend this.

Uninstall

----------------------------

Scripts and effects only run when the power is activated, so removing mod-playthrough will not destroy your save. But before doing so, make sure you are not affected by the power (check the "Active Effects" tab in the magic menu). Keep in mind that removing mid-game playback may leave some warnings in Papyrus logs.

This is a more balanced version of my mod Stamina to carry weight (which is a simple cheat). It was requested by IchBinKeinRoboter so the credit for the idea goes to him.

Upon loading the game the player receives the Painful Effort power. It can be activated once every 24 in-game hours. The effects of activating the power:

Stamina regenerates 100% faster for 5 seconds,

Movement speed increases by 20% for 30 seconds,

Carry weight increases by 50% of maximum stamina for 30 seconds,

Adds +10 pts melee damage bonus for 30 seconds,

Fortifies weapon speed by 10% for 30 seconds.

As soon as stamina regeneration buff wears out (so after 5 seconds), the Painful Effort Side Effects kick in:

Stamina regenerates 50% slower for 300 seconds (5 minutes),

Health is lowered by 25 pts of bleeding damage for 30 seconds.

All effects and their time left are visible in the Active Effects tab in the magic menu.

So now, instead of being a simple cheat, the power has some actual consequences and can be probably used in some more creative ways (for example when you're surprised by a fight while being over encumbered).

Requirements

------------------------------

SKSE (any version) is a hard requirement. It provides a function that allows changing magnitude of the effect dynamically in the script. It allowed me to minimize scripting and make most of the mod with magic effects in CK.

Installation

----------------------------

With your mod manager. Backup your save - I always recommend it.

Uninstallation

----------------------------

The scripts and effects run only when the power is activated so removing the mod mid-playthrough should not break your save. But before you do so make sure that you are not under effects of the power (check the Active Effects tab in magic menu). Remember that removing a mod mid-playthrough can leave some warnings in the Papyrus log.
