“We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, undone by the blood”
The goal of Rogue-like Encounters is make the world of TES5: Skyrim more interesting and dangerous. This is done with new creatures, spells, combat, minor mentions of prior TES lore, cooking recipes for every food, and overall spice-of-life additions.
RLE is hefty, weighing in at 2.14gb as of its final version 1.8, featuring over 400 creatures derived from many open content resources across nexus, steam, dark creations forums, and other locations. The library of ESP files contain the cores, optional features to the main mod, and compatibility patches. At its 1130th day as of 10/10/2018, RLE is now FEATURE COMPLETE.

- lore (mo): no new player spells/gear/recipes
ARCANE KNOWLEDGE
(core module)
As of RLE 1.8, amongst the Dwemer, you will find some boss creatures that are left-over creations of the Numidium itself. These creatures drop a variety of clockwork weaponry that rival daedric weaponry in power. They also drop knowledge cubes which add to gameplay:
Cube of Embers:
allows the player to turn skulls of daedric wardens into Skulls of Unresting Souls, single use items that can resurrect one creature level 40 or under for one hour. Combining a SUS with a filled black soulgem, doubles its level of effect.
Cube of Arrow Infusion
allows the player to infuse dwarven arrows or bolts into dire magic arrows/bolts
Cube of Scroll Infusion
allows the player to greatly simplify scroll-creation by nullifying the need for enchanted ink, but an ink vial must remain in inventory for the symbolic bond
ROGUE WIZARDRY
(core module)
As of RLE 1.8, Skyrim will have an alternate implementation of magic present for both players and NPCs, based on study and preparation, not memorization and channeling.
With this system, one need only collect the books for the appropriate spells and use them to craft batches of scrolls at a forge, as the formulas below illustrate:
Blank paper + enchanted ink(with Tome X in inventory) = Scroll of Tome X.
Blank paper(with Tome X, the Cube of Scroll-crafting, and a vial of ink in inventory) = Scroll of Tome X
Ink vial + filled soul gem = # of enchanted ink vials
Log of Firewood = 15 sheets of paper
Charcoal/BlueMountainFlower + Glass Ingot = 3 vials of ink
As illustrated, you are copying tome X to scroll X without exhausting it or memorizing it. Also illustrated, the Cube of Scroll-crafting greatly simplifies the process, but it is dropped by a rare dwemer boss called "The Soul-Warden of Numidium."
Paper, ink, enchanted ink, and scrolls will spawn on npc mages as of 1.8. The can also be bought on vendors.
DRAGON COMBAT
(dragoncombat module)
Dragons now have fixed combat styles encouraging a higher likelihood to engage in melee, attacks that cool down for usage instead of waiting for combat styles to queue them, conjuration magic, disarming power words to combat weapon users, armor magic, necromancy, and more breath weapons.
Breath weapon assignments
Frost dragons:
water blasts, bloodstealing, and magic burning
Fire dragons:
lightning, ash, and acidic breath
Tundra drakes:
last wind perk, roars, water breathing, and acid spitting attacks
Griffons:
last wind perk, roaring and ice storms for the snowy griffon
Tundra chimera:
last wind perk, lightning, firebolts, ice volleys, roars, and water volleys
Chaurus queens:
acid, water volleys, and the last wind perk
The 'Last Wind' perk gives the npc a chance to heal 50% of their health when close to death if they aren't staggered or busy casting/attacking
Raid adds
Dragons now have mmo-style adds which spawn mid-fight. Regular dragons get two or more dragonlings at 50% health. Alduin gets dragonlings at 50% and 2 or more Blackguards of Akatosh(black daedroths wielding daedric greatswords) at 25%
TRUE ARMOR
(core module)
All creatures have armor values added to their basic mesh relative to their mass and skin/fur thickness. All creatures also have relevent magic resistence values.
CRITICAL HITS
(core module)
Most non-humans now have a 1 in 10 chance to do critical damage with melee or ranged attacks.
BLOCK-RUNNING, QUICK-DRAW, & FASTER MOVEMENT WHILE AIMING
(core module)
You are just newly a dragonborn, for the first time in your life taking up arms. All around you stand men, women, and creatures who have been in arms for years. They are in shape, and used to holding a bow and shield.
CLEAVES
(core module)
Most large creatures that have sweeping attacks which target one opponent but pass through others have unlocked attack hitboxes that effect all targets in their swing path. These include dwarven centurions, giants, trolls, mammoths, bears etc.
ARMOR DEGRADATION & BLEED
(combat module)
All power attacks, bashes, and unique attacks debuff armor and cause internal bleeding. These balance combat by rewarding parries and bashes as well as clean power/unique attacks and punishing the reciever. These effects are also distrobuted by cleave and amplified by critical hits.
As of 1.75, the combat module will allow "sunder-stacking" for all melee combat via the 8 second vulnerability window. Basically, the first bash or power attack(X&Y) will reduce the target's armor by X or Y's sunder value, starting the window of vulnerability. During this window, any other incoming bash or power attack affects the target's armor by double. Every unit, pc or npc, can stack 2 bash sunders and 2 power attack sunders in total. When the window of vulnerability clears, sunders are only 1x.
This revision has been added to balance end-game playability.
STAGGER
(combat module)
As of eqRLE 1.5, the entire world now has a script-less, engine-based stagger system applied to melee combat, based on the gargoyle's vanilla combat effects. For the player, taking a heavy or unique attack causes screen-shake and drunken movement. This effect stacks, and while freedom is maintained, accuracy becomes very difficult. NPC's merely go through their own stagger animations.
SCALING
(combat module)
Bleed/trauma(from melee) and spells in the special combat+ module scale with the character levels of npcs and players from 1x at level one to 4x at level 80 in a quasi-exponential manner, as such:
1-10(1x), 11-20(2x), 21-40(3x), 41-80(4x)
SITUATION-SCALING
(core module & combat module)
Certain creatures are incredibly good at combat, and others are very basic. As such, for example, a brawl with a Daedric Concubine will always go differently than a brawl with a bandit. Little details like getting struck while attacking, getting struck while moving with your guard down, or even letting your stamina get too low, will render you weak on your next attack, wobbly, hamstrung, slow, bleeding, slightly blinded. Keep your eyes on your attacker, your guard up, and counter when possible to reverse the flow.
Some bosses and enemies have a special adds perk which makes other npcs spawn to fight for them when they are injured, so don't be alarmed if the falmer pursuer you just attacked is joined by a pair of faceless hounds.
The meaning of this module is to provide a consistent challenge for melee combat.

A) Download the DATA and ESP files as well as any additional modules relevent to your game
B) Copy a core of your choice, DATA files, and any additional modules to your data folder
C) If you are running this and vanilla, THIS IS ALL YOU NEED TO DO. If you run any other creature mods, go to
(E). Additional modules have their own instructions.
D) Create a BASHED PATCH and possibly a MERGED PATCH, making sure to correct any issues undone by the unofficial patches. This mod edits many leveled lists, creature forms, race forms, and other important parts of vanilla. Without these patches, you will get bugs when playing with other mods.
E) Download any memory or performance patches you may need to stabilize your game. (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
F) enjoy
