There was a topic on the BSG Forums where someone was looking for a "plain and simple" running drains stamina mod.

This mod has no scripts. The effects are applied via vanilla spell effects.
As this is the initial release, I expect to make changes as people comment on the mod.

See Change Log for detailed changes.

** Readme **
Name: Activity Uses Stamina
Version: 3.1
Date: 02/28/2014
Category: Gameplay and Effects
Author: Aellis

Description:
============
Movement uses stamina. Different types of movement consume stamina at different rates.
You must rest (be still) to replenish your stamina. None of the vanilla activities that usually
consume Stamina have been changed, i.e. Sprinting, Power Attacks, etc.
If you use 50% of your stamina without resting, the stamina loss double because you're tired.

The rates selected are purely subjective. At 100 stamina, you would use approximately 2/3 thirds
of that 100 to walk from the Whiterun Stables to the Sleeping Ginat in Riverwood.

All of the reduction rates are applied through magic effects, not scripting.
The use rates are set as follows.


From lowest to highest
--------------------------
Walking: 0.20 point per second.
Tired: 0.20

Running: 3.75 pps.
Tired: 3.75 pps.

Sneaking: 0.25 pps
Tired: 0.25

SneakRun: 4.0 pps
Tired: 4.0

Swimming: 4.75 pps
Tired: 4.75

SwimRun: 8.5 pps
Tired: 8.5


You can use the console to turn off or on any of effects.
Change any of the desired global values to 0 to turn off, change it to 1 to turn them back on.
Open the console and type

set X to 0, where x = a global listed below.
