Training Dummies and Targets

This Mod doesn't work with Falskaar.

Description

Have you ever wanted to practice and improve your combat skills on the practice dummies in Skyrim, only to find you can't? Well, now you can.

This mod adds to all practice dummies and archery targets (apart from snow-covered ones) the ability to train your skills. The player can use these to train their One Handed, Two Handed, Archery, and Destruction skills, depending on what weapon you use. The skill increase is less than real combat, but works to simulate the player "learning" while practicing.

What trains what, and how it works

Practice Dummies will train your Archery, One Handed, Two Handed, and Destruction skills (using Fire, Frost, or Shock spells).

For spells like Fire Hands that have a stream, short bursts that last a second or two work best for the training script.

Archery Targets (not snow-covered) will only train your Archery skill. If you are too close to the dummies and targets when you fire your bow, it won't improve your skill and a notification will show in-game. Your archery skill increases more the further back you are from the target and dummy.

All you have to do is attack the dummy or target, as you would an enemy. Simple!
