About this mod
Rebalance throwing, shoving, and ranged in a more realistic and stat diverse way.
- Permissions and credits
- Reduced max throwing distance
- Reduced max shoving distance
- Increased diversity of ranged weapons
In vanilla, shove distance is unrealistically high and caps out at the low value of 14 strength (12 is virtually the same) With this mod, shoving is much less effective below strength 16 and continues to benefit from strength increases until 20.
Example:
Vanilla shove with strength= 8(1m) 10(2m) 12(5m) 14+(6m)
Modded shove with strength= 12 or less(1m) 14(2m) 16(2.5m) 18(3m) 20(4m)
Throw distance has been reduced for game balance and to emphasize use of a ranged weapon or spell instead.
Throwing tiny objects (like potions) are always capped, but larger objects will now benefit from increased strength up to 22.
Example:
Vanilla throw large object with strength= 10(3m) 12(6m) 14(10m) 16(15m) 18+(18m)
Modded throw large object with strength= 10(3m) 12(4m) 14(5m) 16(7m) 18(8m) 20(10m) 22+(12m)
Changes to ranged weapons are pretty straightforward, their range is changed slightly to set them apart and to coincide with the shorter throwing distance.
