Simple mod makes blocking a more reliable tactic.
Reliable blocking
Simple mods can make blocking more reliable, while mods only make blocked attacks cost stamina instead of health, and the stamina consumed is calculated based on your difficulty, enemy weapon damage, and your blocking skill. If you don't have enough stamina to block the entire attack, the difference will take a toll on your health.
Marked as ESL so slots are not occupied in load order
Require:
SKSE
compatibility:
Major: Shouldn't conflict with any mods, but if you find any issues please let me know
Minor: Mods that add timed blocking mechanics will still work, but may still take health damage if you're low on stamina
Known issues:
The main problem is that any current perks that alter effective blocking effects (such as Block Mastery in Vokrii) will become redundant as they will have no effect on the damage dealt since this mod manages block damage independently of vanilla.
This mod has its own scaling mechanism that reduces stamina by 0.4% per level in an attempt to fix this, but if anyone has any suggestions I'd be grateful

Marked as ESL so won't take up slot in load order
Requirements:
SKSE
Compatibility:
Major: Should not conflict with any mods but let me know if you find something
Minor: Mods that add timed blocking mechanics will still function however if you are out of stamina its likely you will still take damage to health
Known Issues:
The main issue is that currently any perks that change how effective blocking is (e.g. Block Mastery in Vokrii) will be rendered redundant as they will have no effect on how much damage is dealt as this mod manages blocked damage separate to vanilla.
The mod has its own scaling mechanics decreasing damage to stamina by 0.4% per level in attempt to work around this but if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
