About this mod

Adds certain buffs for characters who only wish to use one hand and removes the first person idle fist.

Permissions and credits
Introduction:
Adds certain buffs for characters who only wish to use one hand and removes the first person idle fist.

Finally true one handed characters should make a comeback! Remember the days in RPGs where using a single weapon was standard and dual weapons was the exception? Now it seems with every new rpg the thieves have to be as much like Drizzt as possible, well hopefully with this mod you'll be able to play a single handed thief, mage, or soldier, losing your offhand and gaining a buff in return!

When you're only using one hand equip (sword, mace, spell, shield, etc) and have a free hand (or torch) you get the following buffs:
Melee +10% Damage
Weapon Speed + 15%
Pickpocket + 10%
Movement Speed + 15%
+5% Crit Chance
Increased Magic Power
(can't give a real number on the magic since it effects each school of magic differently)

Added perk to One Handed tree:
Swift Strikes (Requires armsman and 30 one handed)
Additional +10% attack speed and +5% crit chance while using only one hand.

With the perk you have +25% attack speed and +10% crit in total

If this is too powerful or not powerful enough to make a single handed character viable, please let me know!

As an added bonus when you have nothing in your hands you will no longer see a fist, you can still punch and see your fist swing then, but otherwise the fists are gone, this is to let you really play one handed without feeling like you need to punch everything. See the video for more information on how the fist works.
