Simple Dash & Dodge Powers

Classic Version: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/79610/?

Adds two Powers, and two hotkey-able (as a favourite item) rings for casting them.
Quick Dodge - 70% speed boost for 0.65 seconds. Costs 20 stamina, 1 second cooldown. Cannot be used while sneaking.
Quick Dash - 100% speed boost for 1 second. Costs 40 stamina, 7 second cooldown, during which stamina regeneration is reduced.

Update: Both are also subject to the default 3 second cooldown for Lesser Powers. Using the rings bypasses this.
If you want to use them as Lesser Powers there's an optional file that reduces the cooldown setting to 1 second.
Remember that this affects all Lesser Powers. It's safe for Quick Dodge, but the setting was apparently put in place to prevent some scripted powers from breaking, so don't spam something unless you're confident that it won't break.

Update 30/11: Changed Quick Dodge to 110% speed boost for 0.7 seconds. More fitting if you use mods that reduce run speed, but with vanilla movespeeds the regular version should be fine.


No clue why you'd want that, or can't quite picture what it does? Here's a video (was made before adding the dodge + rings):



I made it as an alternative to Silent Roll, which felt stupid because it was often correct to use it constantly and roll everywhere. Quick Dash also turned out to be useful and fun to use in combat as a costlier, bursty sprint that works in any direction, making it a decent script-less alternative to dodge mods.

Since the dodge mods of Skyrim classic rely on SKSE, I decided to update this mod with a shorter, weaker variant on the original power designed for sidestepping attacks in combat. Both powers have also been linked to two 'Cast Ring' items, which take no biped slots and cast their respective powers when equipped.


Enemies in vanilla Skyrim track perfectly during an attack - remember to grab Mortal Enemies or Attack Commitment to go along with dodge mods!


Leave any bug reports in the comments and I'll get to them! The mod is really simple though, and shouldn't have any major problems.


My other stuff!
Empowered Throw Voice (and Undetectable Whispers) - changes the 2 and 3 word effects to make Throw Voice into a cooler tool for sneaking.
Richer Pockets - more delicious stuff to steal from Skyrim's citizens.

And I have a Youtube channel, where stupid and funny things happen.
