• Some unusual weapon types may need to be forcibly excluded or included in the True Damage system.
 • This is achieved using two keywords which can be added to any weapon:

 • TrueDamageExclusion - forces TD to ignore this weapon. No stats will be altered.
 •  This is typically used to exclude ballistic weapons whose damage should be derived primarily from the receiver, not the ammo itself e.g. bows, crossbows etc.
 •  Bear in mind that any damage present on the ammo that this weapon uses will remain, however, since that can only be edited via a patch.

 • TrueDamageInclusion - forces TD to include this weapon, reducing its damage by 90%.
 • Useful if you want to include any specific non-ballistic weapons.
 • It's worth noting that only physical damage can be added to the ammo record, so patching energy weapons into the TD system will replace their energy damage with physical.
• The only way around this is to add your energy damage via an explosion on the projectile.

2. Expand the Weapon tab and select the weapon(s) you want to patch.

4. Select <newfile>.esp with the ESL flag only. Name your patch starting with "TD - " then the mod name. E.g. "TD - LString Bow".
5. Right click on your new patch in the left hand column. Select Add Master... then select True Damage.esp.
6. Double click your new patch in the left hand pane and find the copied weapons record(s).
