I did not get the "broken" sneak attack behavior mentioned below even without the patch. I was able to get sneak attack damage while actually hidden. However, when standing right in front of a guard while in sneak mode and blasting him I got no bonus sneak damage prompt and my sneak damage multiplier in the debug console was "0".
Test this mod personally before deciding if you need a patch or not.
The sneak attack bonus portion of this mod is completely broken. It doesn't actually check if you are detected by an NPC, the only thing it looks for is if you are in sneak mode. Therefore you can stand in front of an NPC in daylight while in sneak mode and still get the damage bonuses.
Hi, this looks really interesting. I've installed the mod, but how do I check it's working? I get no 'magic sneak attack' messages in top corner, for example but the entry in character sheet for intelligence modifier is there. I've turned on the debugging mode, but nothing appears in the console when I cast a spell. Is there a command I'm missing to check what's happening to my spells? Thanks.
Just in case, magic sneak damage only starts to kick in when being an apprentice in sneak or higher. Note that the mod only does something when a spell hits an actor, not when it is cast. I take it you're checking after casting spells on self, or after they reach their target? It is strange that nothing shows in the console with debugging on even in that case. Are you using the latest OBSE version? This mod needs v21.
