What this Mod Is
Sandbox area for testing out new effects to be implemented in ACE - Comprehensive Enhacements.
Some files are in beta, some work, all are open to discussion and building better ones.
Several modders have access to this page and more can get access if they want to participate in R&D. :)

Future Plans & Ideas

ACE Archery
- same stamina drain for longbows?
- after X distance, shots do -% dmg, long shoot farther thn short
- implement the z arrows
- If the Archery skill is 33, arrows get 1/2 chance to do critical damage after medium range, if 66 then after long range, if >90 then full no penalty. Long and Light arrows would have different medium & long range values

ACE Armor
- Light armor's dodge bonus does not apply while flat-footed or prone, is halved while standing still or sprinting, and is 50% better while walking or running
- When carry weight is within 10% overweight, stamina/magicka regeneration and movement speed are reduced by 25%
- When carry weight is between 10% and 20% overweight, stamina/magicka regeneration and movement speed are reduced by 50%
- When carry weight is between 20% and 30% overweight, stamina/magicka regeneration and movement speed are reduced by 75%
- When carry weight is between 30% and 40% overweight, stamina/magicka regeneration and movement speed are reduced by 95%
- When carry weight is 40% or more overweight, stamina/magicka regeneration and movement speed are reduced by 100%
(so max movable weight is at 39% overweight, so if you play with a base of 300, then with more than 417 weight you are unmovable)
(max movable weight will also be lower if other effects are currently reducing your movement speed, as they stack)


ACE Conjuration (not yet in master file)
- check out summoning bound armor


ACE Enchanting
- more ideas?


ACE Melee
- possible to use some stamina on misses (Maybe put this in RF)
- make all weapons add a % of the weapon skill level to critical damage (to overcome the flaw in vanilla where criticals don't increase as you get stronger)


ACE Realistic Fighting
- waiting for feedback and ideas? :)


ACE Smithing
- add effects to weapons if player has their material's smithing perk
- Tempering bonus for light weapons that are made of materials associated with light armor (daggers, swords, 1h-axes, light bows)
- Tempering bonus for heavy weapons that are made of materials associated with heavt armor (1h maces, 2h maces, long bows)
(not sure what to do about 2h axes and greatswords ... the rationale is that the "light" materials are better suited to slicing edges and piercing points, but that the "heavy" materials are better suited to mass-impact and hard surfaces )


ACE Speech
- Make followers smarter

ACE Synergy
- figure out a way to display what effects are active, maybe byog-type show effects display, or a book ...
- move effects to area-effect type spells, if it's not too laggy
- add bonuses based on blessings and standing stones
- add more bonuses (suggestions moved to the bottom of this page since there are so many)

Casting Forms
- Certain conditions unlock casting forms, forms are powers that set one of the following forms.
- Forms can be unlocked based on which perks the player has, skill levels, or other factors
- Forms last 20 minutes of game-time, they are a state of mind and can't be changed often
- Once a form is set, another one can not replace it until the first one expires

Asyrin's Trees & Zenogais' Block

Concept: Currently there are two offensive melee combat trees and one defensive combat tree. In order to be effective in modified complex combat, a character must choose one of the two offensive trees and some or all of the block tree. Two-handers, Spellswords, and Duelists often take the “stump” of the block tree in order to enhance their game despite the fact that the tree was primarily designed with a shield in mind.

Goal: Differentiate the melee combat trees to better compliment differing fighting styles in a more intuitive fashion while maintaining a balance of both game difficulty and perk points spent.

Overview: Specialize Two-handed, Block, and One-handed trees into unique and complete melee packages that would allow for a far more distinct and different feel to each style.

Protection - Replaces Block Tree. The character who specializes into Protection has mastered the Art of combining one-handed weapon and shield. More than just a board to take hits on, the shield becomes an offensive weapon as well as a defensive tool. This tree focuses on utilizing weapon and shield together offensively and defensively. This character has an answer for most everything and her abilities are often in response to or anticipation of attacks by her opponent.

Finesse - Replaces One-handed Tree. The quintessential Weaponsmaster. The tree allows for further Customization into the Twin Blades (Dual Wielding), Spellsword (One hand spell, the other weapon), and Duelist (Off hand empty) styles. All three styles focus to one degree or another on misdirection, speed, and agility. They dodge, parry, disarm, and strike with lightning fast attacks enhanced by their chosen path.

Savagery - Replaces Two-Handed Tree. A mountain of power. A rage and fury unrivaled in Skyrim. This tree focuses on pure brute force, the Berserker who thrives on the blood of his enemies and a massive weapon few would be able to hold much less wield with the deadly accuracy she's capable of. Instead of dancing around like the Finesse fighters or cowering behind a metal sheet like the Protection fighters, she embraces the adrenaline of combat, using it to rejuvenate her and fuel the burning swath of death she leaves behind her.

Zenogais Block:

Wrote out a very rough 'first sketch' to what's on my mind for this tree. There's 3 trees (off_stance, general, and def_stance). The passive effects/bonuses to Power Bash should be restricted to that stance only (ie if in off_stance, no perfect_wall benefits, etc.). The [Burst_Stance] can be opened to either stance, as a once a day 'super form'.

Here is a sketched perk tree design. For the most part, everything's in placeholder status (perk names, passive bonuses, etc.). The layout and general order of power are what I'm pushing. ^.^

General flow is each perk requires the previous. Notable marks:
- : 'Dead-End' branch from previous perk.
=: Last perk of the branch

(Novice Block): +Effectiveness; +Deflect_Arrow%

[ShieldMaster]
(Power Bash): Unlock Power_Bash; +Effectiveness; +Disarm%
(Quick Reflexes(1)): +Effectiveness; +Deflect_Arrow%; +Disarm%
(Quick Reflexes(2)): 2sec Time_Dilation
-(Block Runner): +Move_Speed_while_Blocking; -Received_Stagger_Duration
-(Shield Charge): +Sprint_Knockdown; -Received_Stagger_Chance
=(Elemental Protection): +Magic_Damage_Reduction; +(Low)Deflect_Magic_Projectile_Chance

[Offense_Stance]
(Improve_Stance): +Stance_Passive
-(Power_Bash_Proc): +Damage_Buff_upon_Successful_Bash (short duration; 1/2 attacks)
(Mobile_Ram(1)): +Move_Speed_while_Blocking; +Shield_Charge_Radius
(Mobile_Ram(2)): +Shield_Charge_Radius; +Shield_Charge_Damage; -Sprint_Paralyze_Chance; +Stamina_Cost_while_Charging
=(Burst_Stance): +Improved_Stance_Passives/Proc(short duration; 1 use/day)

[Defense_Stance]
(Improve_Stance): +Stance_Passive
-(Power_Bash_Proc): +Stamina_upon_Successful_Bash
(Perfect_Wall(1)): (While Immobile+Blocking) (Large) +Deflect_Arrow%; +Deflect_Magic_Projectile_Chance; -Stagger_Chance
(Perfect_Wall(2)): (While Immobile+Blocking) (Perfect) Deflect_Arrow; Deflect_Magic_Projectile; 0_Stagger_Chance; (HUGE) +Stamina_Cost_per_Received_Attack
=(Burst_Stance): +Improved_Stance_Passives/Proc(short duration; 1 use/day)

Notables:
Shieldmaster tree: Dead end branches and final perk are logically placed against each other, but not perfect for stance trees (particularly Perfect_Wall/Elemental Protection). If possible, The improved effects in the stance branches should be null until the shieldmaster perk that unlocks them is taken.

Off_Stance: Theme here is charging into the enemy, and pounding their faces in(with their shield). Mobile Ram (in theory) drastically improves Shield Charge, while costing more stamina. The Power Bash proc here is to simulate followups with your main hand weapon.

Def_Stance: Theme here is an immovable Wall that will outlast any onslaught. Perfect Wall drastically changes immobile blocking to make the wielder untouchable/unmovable, but only until your stamina is gone. I'd want this to handle a dragon's breath attack through most/all it's duration. Power Bash Proc is to help endure/recoup during long fights.

Stance_Passives: Not solid on what these should be yet. +Disarm% should be a defense stance passive. +Bash_Damage should be an offense stance passive. Beyond those...not sure yet.

Options:
-Bash_Proc and Improve_Stance could be swapped, letting Improve_Stance improve the Proc effect.
-Moving Shield_Charge, Block_Runner, Elemental_Protection around.

Ideal Passive Range(s):
Block Effectiveness: ~10-50% (Def_Stance: ~65%; Perf_Wall: cap)
Deflect_Arrow_Chance: ~10-50% (Def_Stance: ~75%; Perf_Wall: cap)
Disarm_Chance: ~5-15% (Def_Stance: ~15-50%)
Move_Speed_while_Blocking: ~10% (Off_Stance: ~15%; Mobile_Ram: ~25%)
Magic_Damage_Reduction: ~33%
Deflect_Magic_Projectile_Chance: ~10% (Def_Stance: ~15-25%; Perf_Wall: cap)
Power_Bash_Damage: ~1x-3x (Off_Stance: ~3x-10x)

Off_Bash_Proc: ~5-10% +Damage; ~0.5-1 second duration
Def_Bash_Proc: ~5-10% +Stamina; (+Stagger Chance?)

Off_Passives (+Burst Effects): +Bash_Damage; +Move_Speed; +Off_Bash_Proc; +Charge_Radius
Def_Passives (+Burst Effects): +Effectiveness; +Deflect; +Disarm; +Deflect_Magic; +Def_Bash_Proc
Burst_Stance: ~10-15 second duration; 1/day usage

Effectively, the burst stance should either cap the stats(minus what Mobile_Ram(2)/Perfect_Wall(2) give) of the stance you're currently in, or improve the stats of the stance you're not in (giving Def_Stance Offensive stats or vice versa). This would, for example, make a Defense Stance character act as if using Perfect_Wall(2) while moving, or grant the Defense Stance character the damage bash proc and increased bash damage, etc.

Stamina use: I see the second perk perks(Mobile/Quick/Perfect) in each tree (they each add new mechanics) as "new skills". The stamina usage of these should reflect the drastic change (and also why they're second perks and not required to progress to the end of the branch).
-As mentioned in above post, the Perfect_Wall should be able to handle a dragon's full breath duration (if just barely, or not quite the full). Something that'd be helpful to prevent exploitation (twitchy players surely can stop and block at a moments notice) would be to place a delay timer on the immunity effects (say; 1-1.5 seconds).
-Mobile_Ram should have increased stamina cost for each target 'charged'. Damage could be comparable to baseline power bash (whatever you can get out of shieldmaster perks) or higher, and should have a huge (100% even?) stagger chance (if not already).



Specific Files and their Contents
ACE Z Melee
This is a new project by me, Zeromus, to further enhance the ACE Melee module. This will be focused on letting players get abilities organically when they reach a certain skill level and have certain perks, as well as capitalizing on ACE Realistic Fighting's directional effects.

Shield Abilities:
- Defender: Lowers attack by 25% but gain a 25% boost to armor rating (or damage resistance)
- Sentinel: Enormous boost to physical damage resistance that degrades over time, but alters enemies aggression to pursue you forever
- Shield Smash: Temporary boost to shield bash damage
- Rampart: Temporary boost to magic resistance

Duelist Abilities:
- Grace: Boost to movement speed
- Duel Stance (Spirit): Halves melee damage in favor of doing 50% damage to opponents magicka
- Duel Stance (Vigor): Halves melee damage in favor of doing 50% damage to opponents stamina
- Disarming Lunge: Bonus to disarm on weapon bash
- Parry: Boost to block skill when using one weapon

Dual Wield Abilities:
- Sneak Attack: Boost to damage and crit chance when attacking from behind
- Berserk: Lowers armor rating by 25% but gives a 25% boost to damage
- Kidney Stab: Boost to damage when attacking from the side

Nifty Arrows
Nifty Arrows are some arrows I made just for fun and are subject to change based on user feedback. I will be updating the ESP file so they're easier to find, but for now the instructions to get them are in the comments section. I will update this when I've uploaded a new esp to use.

There's now a chest in The Drunken Hunstman in Whiterun containing all my arrows thus far for testing!

Arrow Effects are as follows:
- Napalm (Regular, Trap, Timer): Regular napalm arrows explode and release flaming gas at the point of impact, burning any targets in range. The Trap arrows allow you to fire and arrow and set it up as a trap. When an enemy comes within range, it detonates and leaves burning gas in it's wake. The timer allows you to shoot an arrow that, after 3 seconds, detonates with flaming gas. The timer arrow has a wider area than the regular or trap varieties.
- Poison gas arrow: Releases a cloud of poisonous gas in large area. Eventually this arrow will do a bit less damage in a shorter area.
- Blitz arrow: This arrow spawns a shock trap on impact, dealing damage to health and magicka. Will eventually be changed to deal more magicka damage than health, making this arrow invaluable against mages.
- Diamond Dust arrow: On impact, momentarily freezes target and reduces movement speed by 75% for 20 seconds, making this a great "get away" arrow.
- Frenzy/Calm gas arrows: Frenzy or calm targets in a small area for 10 seconds. A good opener or if you just need a chance to catch your breath
- Proximity arrow: Very simple arrow, causes arrow to become armed with an explosive after firing. When an enemy comes within range...boom.



These are suggested ideas for Synergy Bonuses

These are mine and player suggested bonuses to be considered & discussed:
* If you like any of these ideas, now is the time to comment or suggest something! *


[Mage]
? Conjuration & destruction relevant elemental damage or effect perk = stronger summoned atronachs.
[How about: all 3 basic elemental atornachs exploding upon death (much like the flame atornach already does, only make it much more powerful), causing respective elemental damage, based on destrucions skill level.]
? Alchemy & Restoration skill levels = +15% stronger restoration potions and/or fortify potions
? Master of the Mind + Master Alteration = Cannot be staggered while casting.
? Restoration + Experimenter 2 + Green Thumb = Food has additional benefits and stronger healing.

[Warrior]
? 1-handed & 2-handed = a kind of melee master
[how about: When both are level 90+: A higher % chance of finishing moves.]
? Shield charge & Reflect blows: % chance to disarm enemies when the succesfully hit you with a melee attack.
? Blocking + Two-Handed 90 = Bashing with a two-handed staggers all enemies in front of you.

[Thief]
? Sneak & Speechcraft & Locksmith = a kind of master thief
[How about: When all thief skills are level 100 (very hard to do), neutral NPC's will no longer turn hostile upon witnessing crimes. Requires presence perk.]
? Archery and Sneaking, permanent buff of detect life.
? Sneak and Speech, sell stolen goods in any vendor
? Top Light Armor perk + Shadow Warrior = additional chance to dodge any attack, ranged or melee.

[Warrior-Mage]
? destruction & light/heavy armor = spells do more damage to armored enemies
? Adept Alteration & Fighting Stance = Bull's Strength (power attacks with one handed weapons deal +damage)
? Adept Alteration & Champions Stance = Giant's Strength (power attacks with two handed weapons deal +damage)
? Disarming Bash + Enhanced Flames/Shock/Frost lvl3 = Power Bashing with a damage cloak increases the damage of the cloak.
? Kindred Mage + Champion Stance = bonus melee damage to Calmed enemies.

[Warrior-Thief]
? Intimidate & power attack perks = enemies have a chance to flee on power attacks
? Lockpicking + all Dual Wield perks in One-Handed = slightly increased "sweet spot" on locks of all difficulties
? Reflect Blows + Lockpicking + at least 3 Lockpicking perks = Once a day use your brute strength to smash a lock to pieces.

[Thief-Mage]
? Powershot & Intense Flames = Flame Imbued Shots (causes targets to flee if their health is low)
? Powershot & Deep Freeze = Frost Imbued Shots (paralyze targets if their health is low)
? Powershot & Disintegrate = Shock Imbued Shots (disintegrate targets if their health is low)
? Powershot & Poisoner = Assassins Shot (additional damage dealt as poison damage)
(Could do the same with this with One Handed and Two Handed weapons, but lessen the effects to balance it with the higher attack rate of melee weapons)
? Adept Alteration & Eagle Eye = Cat's Eyes (bow shots whilst zooming cause + damage)
? Quick Hands + Adept casting for all Alteration/Conjuration/Destruction/Illusion/Restoration = Spellcasting Prodigy (Charge up speed of all spells increased)
? Archery + Alterration, you can get closer to beasts before they spot you.
? Destruction & stamina > 75% or stamina is highest attribute = you can cast faster.
? Restoration & Speechcraft = normal heal spells heal all friendlies around you also a bit.

[Warrior-Mage-Thief]
? Snakeblood + tier 3 sword perk(s) + Alteration + Kindred Mage = chance on crit to deal poison damage over time

[Racial]
? player race & skill related to lore or racial power = ? for example, a wood elf with high archery
? Player race & enemies equipment & smithing perk = take less damage from your races weapons, do more damage to your races armors
