Changelogs

Version 1.47d
- Fixed some stability issues with unarmed enemies.
Version 1.47c
- Main module: armor skills now gradually level while moving around with the appropriate armor equipped. Togglable in the MCM menu.
- Main module: fixed fist enchantments being reset by shapeshifting (werewolf, vamp lord, etc.)
- Creature Abilities module: added some fixes from the upcoming unofficial skyrim/dlc patches.
Version 1.47a
- Fixed unintentional scaling of Armored Brawling and enchantment unarmed damage bonus.
- Reworded some perks descriptions to be clearer.
- Fixed some issues with equipping/unequipping the unarmed 'weapons' not applying/removing perks correctly.
- Mystic Fist now requires Enchanter's Fist instead of Flowing Strikes. Mystic Fist skill requirement up to 90, Enchanter's Fist requirement down to 70.
- Updated Flowing Strikes description to note that it only affects normal attacks (attack speed has no effect on unarmed power attacks) and buffed its speed bonus to 25% to compensate.
Version 1.47
- You are now given a pair of unarmed 'weapons' that allow unarmed attacks to be strengthened by and level your One-Handed skill. Some unarmed perks only work with these 'weapons' equipped. Equipping them indicates lethal intent and will break brawls.
- Armsman, Fighting Stance and Elemental Burst made to work with unarmed attacks. Their descriptions have been updated appropriately.
- Reworded description of Duelist's Stance to make it clearer it does not work with unarmed.
- Added One-Handed perk: Enchanter's Fist. See readme for full description (too long to post here).
- Elemental Burst also reduces enchantment charge costs by 30% during the multi-hit dual wield power attack (the multi-hit unarmed power attack gets a 50% magnitude boost but no cost reduction).
- Concussive Strikes armor penetration changed to 30%.
- Flowing Strikes reworked: Your attacks are 20% faster and cost 25% less stamina as long as you are not wielding spells or weapons and have at least half your maximum stamina.
- Martial Fist base damage bonus reduced to 0.25 per point of One-Handed, but now also boosts unarmed crit damage and causes Fortify One-Handed enchantments to affect unarmed damage.
Version 1.46b2
- Script update for wards not being affected by unarmed attacks. If updating from 1.46b, just replace your script files and you're good to go, no in-game proceedure necessary.
Version 1.46b
- Reverted the attempted optimisations to enemy attack stamina usage; I misunderstood the functions involved and enemies were losing stamina when ANYONE ELSE attacked.
- Added an overdue fix for the vanilla Invisibility googly-eye bug. The idea was suggested by someone, but unfortunately I've lost your name. D: I'll add you to the credits if you feel like stepping forward.
Version 1.46a
- Added PC-only tags to certain player-centric perks so that ASIS won't use them for NPCs if automatic perks is enabled.
Version 1.46
- You can now cancel melee attacks by tapping the Sneak button during windup.
- Enemies can also cancel their attacks. They are more likely to do so when using heavy weapons at low stamina.

Version 1.45
- Some attack script optimisations using new SKSE functions.
- Added new perks that trigger if you press Jump while attacking/casting: Burst of Strength, Burst of Speed and Spell Stride.
- Tweaked counterhit stamina damage. It now considers the attackers heal/stamina/magicka ratio, meaning that warrior classes (i.e. more health than stamina/magicka) will deal more stamina damage than other classes of the same level.
- Wearing armor now reduces counterhit stamina damage received. The amount reduced depends on the total weight of your armor, your armor skill, and the total weight of the attacker's weapon. To balance this, base stamina damage has been increased.
Version 1.44
- Added Light Armor perk: Safe Landing - You can fall further without taking damage if you are not wearing Heavy Armor. Distance scales with your Light Armor skill.
- Corrected vanilla magic .esp still requiring Dawnguard.
Version 1.43

- Telekinesis may now affect living targets if they are exhausted, staggered or bleeding out when you start casting. (Note: this isn't 100% reliable at the moment, but it works well enough and I don't think it can be improved much further.)
- Hammer Blow now causes your unarmed power attacks to stagger opponents.

- Fixed hitstun not inflicting stagger like it should and instead causing a temporary attack speed slowdown.

==================================================
-==CURRENT VERSION==-
==================================================

The current version is v1.47d.

It is recommended that you reset your perks or start a new game before running this mod.

This mod requires the Skyrim Script Extender 1.6.16 or newer (download at http://skse.silverlock.org/).

A compatibility version for Staves of Skyrim by Kearsage is available in the optional files section. Install it over the main 1.47 file, and be sure to load StavesofSkyrim.esp before Combat Remastered.esp

==================================================
-==UPDATING==-
==================================================

Overwrite the old .esp and script files, and when you load an old save, open the console ('~' key) and enter the following command:

SetStage aaCRMMainquest 100

Close the console. In a moment, you should receive a message saying that the plugin is updating. You should then be ready to resume play.

See ReadMe for further details on updating.

==================================================
-==DESCRIPTION==-
==================================================

A combat adjustment package inspired by mods like SkyRe, ACE, and Deadly Combat. Credits to the authors of those mods for their excellent work.

To summarise:
-Stamina is now significantly more important and you need to raise it to keep up with higher level opponents and use stronger weapons, otherwise they will quickly exhaust you.
-Both you and enemies can cancel attacks (press the Sneak key during attack windup). Enemies will cancel attacks to conserve stamina and intimidate you.
-One-Handed and Two-Handed are given deeper weapon specialisation perks and new stance perks. Two-Handed now benefits more from tempering than One-Handed, keeping it viable even at high Smithing levels.
-New Armor formula. Every point of armor increases protection without limit, but you will never quite reach 100% protect (to those who played Warcraft III, the formula is similar). To capitalise on this, Heavy Armor now gains many bonuses to Armor Rating (again, to keep it viable at high Smithing levels), while Light Armor gains more movement-related passive bonuses. Light Armor perks also work when unarmored now.
-Both Heavy Armor and Light Armor have additional movement-focused perks. Jump safely out of the way of attacks with Light Armor or stomp on opponent's faces from above with Heavy Armor.
-Optional modules are also provided for Archery, Sneak, Speechcraft and Magic.
-An optional module replaces the Lockpicking skill with an Inventing skill. This module requires Merged Thievery Skill by LukeH. Be sure to load Combat Remastered - Inventing.esp after MergedThieverySkill.esp.

See the ReadMe for a comprehensive list of changes.

========================================================
-==INSTALLATION==-
========================================================

Unzip contents to your Data folder and enable the plugins you wish to use.

Some of the files in the main directory require Dawnguard and/or Dragonborn.

For those without Dawnguard or Dragonborn, use the alternate .esps in the "Vanilla plugin files" folder.

For those with Dawnguard but without Dragonborn, use the alternate .esps in the "Vanilla + Dawnguard plugin files" folder.

==================================================
-==COMPATIBILITY==-
==================================================

Main file is incompatible with mods that alter weapon speeds or the weapon, armor or block trees. Also any mods that make use of the Infamy actor value (it's used by Combat Remastered to control armor damage reduction) or the Fame actor value (used to control damage output).

Archery file is incompatible with other changes to the Archery perk tree.

Magic file is incompatible with changes to the spellcasting perk trees or vanilla spells.

Inventing file is incompatible with other changes to the Lockpicking perk tree.

Speechcraft file is incompatible with other changes to the Speechcraft perk tree.

Creature Ability file is incompatible with other changes to creature racial abilities and actor records.

Enchantments file is incompatible with other changes to enchantment effects and enchanted rings.

========================================================
-==TO-DO LIST==-
========================================================

Sneak module that changes stealth settings and Sneak perks.

Balance tweaks and any required bugfixes, any extra perks/features as I think of them.

==================================================
-==SOME RECOMMENDED MODS==-
==================================================

Heavy Armory by PrivateEye
