About this mod

A Standalone Sword!
Adds a craftable and temperable "Estoc" to the game.
Added to Silver Hand weapon lists.

Permissions and credits
=========================================================================================================================
A new weapon mod from me!
This time altering the mesh for the silver weapon.

This is a standalone weapon mod, by the way. Will not replace anything!

I attempted to create an Estoc looking sword, within Skyrim's limit of course.

An Estoc, or English "Tuck", is a two handed thrusting sword capable of piercing armor. It has NO blade.
...Looking at you, Dark Souls...

Now don't get excited. I said this is within Skyrim's limit.

This "Estoc" (more like a swag sword...) IS capable of piercing armored opponents. A whopping 25% I might add. Armored opponents including Heavy and Light armors, Dwemer Automatons, and Dragons. Yes, Dragons.

This "Estoc" is also one handed...
"Why?"
Thanks for asking! I have three (3) Reasons:

1.)Swords are typically sheathed at the waist.
2.)Skyrim's Two-handed animations are a little more barbaric than the one handed animations.
3.)Stabbing with swords in Skyrim? That's too realistic! Save that for the flashy killmoves!
========================================================================================================================

ALRIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH BORING BASHING OF SKYRIM'S LIMITATIONS AND BORING ESTOC RAMBLING!
SHOW ME THE SWORDFAX!

Okay okay... calm down.

The damage lies between a Skyforge Steel Dagger and Sword.
The speed is in between a sword and dagger.
The reach is in between Sword and Greatsword.
Stagger rate is lower than a sword and higher than a dagger.

Ultimately, it's low in damage compared to a sword, but it's fast, long, and can penetrate armor.  Please, if anyone can suggest any tweaks to improve balance if needed, please say something!

To craft you'll need: the Steel Smithing Perk, 2 Silver Ingots, 1 Leather Strips, and 1 Steel Ingot
To Upgrade you'll need only 1 Silver Ingot.

The Weapon is also silver, it has the same abilities as a silver weapon.

Any texture mods that alter Silver Weapons is compatible.

For the Screenshots I used the following Visual Mods:
Bethesda HD Texture DLC
VandB enb Nature
ELFX
SweetFX for Sharpening
