Dovahsil - Unarmed balance

Description
Have you ever wanted to just punch things, but at higher levels/difficult you felt left out?
This mod provides a way to balance the Unarmed Damage with a different scaling

I love Skyrim is such a fun game, but sometimes you can feel things arent exactly ok and your gameplay gets affected or you plainly loose motivation to keep playing. Thats why once I started an unarmed character and finding that there are few mods that deal with rebalancing unarmed damage in a way that suits me that I decided to make my own for my personal use. But since maybe there are others who might find this useful I decided to upload it.


Comentaries:
This is my first mod, so if you have ideas on rebalancing a bug or perhaps wants a more personalized setting, just make a request on the forums.
Also, this mod use an interesting (and so far unique I think) way of scaling the bonus; Instead of using the most common linear way (each 10 you gain 1 point... etc) im using a logarithmic (Log) way.
Example:
  • at 5 you gain 1
  • at 9 you gain 2
  • at 15 you gain 3
etc, etc
With this scaling you will get the maximum effect once you reach the higher threshold but at lower levels you will only receive some of the bonus, this ensure that you wont be overpowered at lower levels and still being able to dish some damage when you reach the higher levels.


What does it do?

Dovahsil means Dragon Soul in dragon language, and so its the main feature of unarmed balance of this mod (+ some small bonus) :

Draconic Claws - Your hands become deadlier due to the draconic energies infused into you
  • Adds a scalable (Log) unarmed damage 100 max. distributed from 1 up to 50 currently owned Dragon Souls
Draconic Skin - Your skin infused with the dragon souls gives you some resistance.
  • Adds a scalable (Log) Fire, Frost, Shock and Magic Resistance 10 max. each distributed from 8 up to 50 currently owned Dragon Souls
Draconic Blood - Your blood infused with the dragon souls gives you a healthier and stronger body.
  • Adds a scalable (Log) Health, Magicka and Stamina Bonus 100 max. distributed from 5 up to 50 currently owned Dragon Souls

Also, the mod adds Unarmed Damage based on:
Level - Growing Strength - Your body grows stronger with the passing of time.
  • Each 4 levels, you gain 4 points of Unarmed Damage
Skill (single) - Dexterity - Your Dexterity gained with Smithing, Two-Handed, One-Handed and Archery gives you Unarmed Damage per each skill
  • Adds a scalable (Log) unarmed damage bonus 10 max. per each skill named, distributed from 10 up to 100
Skill (combined) - Combat Prowess - Your combat Prowess in the 3 skills (Two-Handed, One-Handed and Archery) gives you a bit more of Unarmed Damage
  • Each time your skills of Two-Handed + One-Handed + Archery reach 10 levels, you gain 1 point of Unarmed Damage

And finally it add 2 more levels to the perk Fist of Steel.

Sounds pretty good. Unfortunately I think the bonus levels for Fists of Steel might make it incompatible with what I'm currently running, and I just can't bring myself to give up the total perk tree overhaul I'm using for a bonus to punching.

I'm Batman, and what that means is that I can't kill people unless I use my fuckin' bodacious fists of justice, so this helps a great deal.

The math behind the Log scaling confuses me. I've taken differential math courses and I can't figure out how your inputs result in your outputs based on log functions. I'm curious about what the equation is so I can calculate my damage at high levels.

Hmm, was just about to download it, but with 2 out of 7 ratings with "overpowered" I might not. Additionally I was able to create restoration-alchemy-glitched enchanted rings and gauntlets to add unarmed damage to make it playable on legendary.

By the way: As unarmed person, it is vital to line up with the stormcloaks, become officer to get those nice bracers with claws on them and also if you have Dawnguard, align with the vampires to get the hawk-like ring. Looks absolutely brilliant on a khajiit ^^

Hallejulah, In Morrowind and Oblivion I practised Khat-Fu religously and then Skyrim killed that. Thankyou for bringing it back to life!
