-JSO- Combat Module

-Jimmy's Skyrim Overhaul-
Combat module

Hey guys, Jimmy here. Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed Skyrim, and enjoyed playing through with and without mods, there was a lot of things which I thought were never truly adressed, or not adressed in the way I would like. A lot of mods changed to much for me; so I have created a series of modules, made with compatibility in mind and to change simple things.

This Module adresses the fact that melee combat in Skyrim is, to put it simply, nowehere near as deep or interesting as it could be. Tossing up between using certain weapons just comes down to number crunching, and the unique perks do little to help this. This module changes weapon effectiveness against various protection ala Chivalry or War of the Roses, adding another layer of depth to combat.

-Weapon Effectiveness-

Rather than the choice of "Sword, Axe or Mace?" being about all of +3dmg or 15-20% faster swing speed, they all now have unique strengths and weaknesses:

Swords and Greatswords: Do 20% extra damage to opponents in light armour, 20% less to opponents in heavy armour

War Axes and Battle Axes: Do 10% extra damage to both types of protection

Maces and Warhammers: Do 20% extra damage to opponents in heavy armour, 20% less to opponents in light armour

-Armour Effectiveness-

In the base game, armour choice is obvious, as both can reach the armour cap, and light armour doesn't slow you down. Now there is some tactics behind the choice:

Light armour: You take 20% less damage from Maces and Warhammers, but take 20% more from Swords and Greatswords

Heavy armour: You take 20% less damage from Swords and Greatswords, but take 20% more from Maces and Warhammers
