--------------------------------------------------
First things first: When I was balancing this game I had Oscuros Oblivion Overhaul which already has
MOBS(Medieval Oblivion Equipment Balance System): http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5572
So for classic Oblivion users you can either grab MOBS or play with Hand to Hand having slightly better
damage difference from the Daedric Dagger at end game than with MOBS users.

Description
====================================================
Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! is a mod that rebalances Oblivion with Oscur Hand to Hand combat into being
a viable alternative to Blade, Blunt and Marksmanship, it keeps it nice and simple by tweaking
the damage only and not trying to do anything fancy or that can conflict with other mods.
You are a master boxer now, go conquer the Arena and kill half of cyrodiil with punching skills
that would make chuck norris feel insecure about his round house kick.
====================================================
Detailed Changes
====================================================
Damage:
It is meant to be balanced with other weapons and not be overpowered; by the end of the game a player with 100 Strength and 100
Hand to Hand will have fists that are slightly deadlier than a daedric dagger user with 100 Blade skill, this is in terms of raw damage
and it is not counting the damage the daedric dagger user can do with Poisons and Enhancements.
Damage for Legendary Characters:
This mod is also balanced for Legendary Heroes, players using -Elys- Uncapper or a similar mod will benefit from having
Hand to Hand and Strength over 100 up until 200.
Scaling of Damage:
Hand to Hand damage will be excellent and better than most daggers considering both skills are at 25(not counting poisons and enhancements), the reasoning behind this
is that a novice weapons user is still adapting to his weapon and barely knows how to combat effectively with it, here the hand to hand
fighter has the advantage since he is doing his killing with a weapon he was born with and has used all his life so it comes much more
natural to him.
By the time you have a skill and the strength score of 75 your hand will be doing damage similar to deadly as a daedric dagger.
By the time you have a Strength and Hand to Hand score of 100 you will actually pass the daedric dagger user by a few points of damage.
By the time you have a skill and the strength score of 150 your hand will be doing around 5% more damage than the daedric dagger and
around 10% more at 200.
Fatigue:
You can now expect on average to knock enemies down due to fatigue loss at around 1/3 of their HP, some enemies and monsters have more
fatigue so they are more difficult to knock down.
Knocking down depends on how much you hit them, the enemy type, armor type they are wearing(Usually you can knockout Heavy Armor NPC's the fastest) and how much they exerted themselves by actions such as power attacking, blocking and even
running after you, this might seem a little underwelming but I find it balanced as knocking an enemy early pretty much tosses
the balance out the window. Also remember not to let them do actions that enable them to regen fatigue such as regen fatigue, if your
punches are like a swarm of bees then you are a lot more likely to knock the opponent down.
NPC's:
NPC's that actually have hand to hand skill are actually quite deadly now, no longer can you be their punching bag for half a year without
diying, its not as ridiculous as Vivec knocking you out in 3 punches but the fatigue does quickly add up especially in encounters where you have more
than one hand to hand opponent, their damage can kill you now if you are not careful.
====================================================
Installing and Uninstalling
====================================================
Just place it in your Data folder and activat it, it should go after any other mods that affect damage of weapons if you want this one to
have an affect. To uninstall just remove the .esp files
Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! - Regular version for Oscuros Oblivion Overhual, game with MOBS mod, or Vanilla.
====================================================
Compatibility
====================================================
This mod IS compatible with -Elys- Uncapper.
It is not compatible with mods that alter Hand to Hand, if a mod alters hand to hand and adds other cool effects that you like that this doesn't just
Order this mod AFTER so it will have the effect.

Elys for her uncapper mod which is actually one of the reasons I created this.
Bethesda fom making HandtoHand craptacular enough to actually make me grab the construction set and use it after like 6 years that Oblvion has been released.
