Heart of Thunder - Ragnarok Edition v1.0
Author: OminousVoice


"Whomsoever holds this hammer, if they be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor!"

This mod aims to bring the armour and weapon of Marvel's Thor to Skyrim. Become the -Lord- God of Thunder! Shoot -sparkles- lightning! Hit things hard ...like, really hard ...so that they go flying ...n' stuff.

It's been a few years since I released the original 'Heart of Thunder'mod. Now, after what seems like an age, I've updated it.

The mod has been rebuilt from scratch, including (mostly) new meshes and new textures. Implementation has been simplified too. There are no exotic crafting materials, no jumping through hoops. Just pick up the hammer, craft the armour and smite away.


Installation & Uninstallation:

Use of a mod manager (NMM, Mod Organizer) is recommended, otherwise simply extract into your Data folder.

To uninstall manually simple remove the Heart of Thunder- Ragnarok Edition.bsa and .esp from your Data folder.

The armour comes in both heavy and light varieties. I've attempted to keep the stats balanced. They are similar to Ebony or Stalhrim, and benefit from the Ebony smithing perk for tempering, but it's not required crafting. They can be crafted at the Skyforge under the Ebony section.
The cape can be crafted under Misc.

The heavy and light differ not only in stats but in appearance.
The light version is modelled after Thor's armour in Thor: The Dark World, is sleeveless with bronze trim.

Base Stats:

Cuirass: A-38 W-6
Helmet: A-16 W-1
Bracers: A-11 W-1
Boots: A-11 W-1


The Heavy version takes after the armour in Avengers: Age of Ultron, has scalemail sleeves and silver trim.

Base Stats:

Cuirass: A-43 W-35
Helmet: A-21 W-7
Bracers: A-16 W-6
Boots: A-16 W-6


Now, Mj�lnir is a slightly different story. It's base stats are similar to an Ebony mace and benefits from one-handed Mace related perks. However, it's the enchantment that make it stand out (and perhaps a bit overpowered).

Mj�lnir: D-20 W-14

Normal attacks do standard unenchanted damage. Power attacks will send the target flying with a strength equivalent to all 3 words of Unrelenting Force. There will also be a lightning explosion which causes 20 shock damage to all in its radius. The shockwave will knock back most in that same radius.

The shockwave is actually non-hostile so as not to accidentally aggro friendlies, however, be careful using it indoors with companions.

Block Bashing will fire a bolt of lightning from the hammer equivalent to the vanilla Thunderbolt spell. Hold the attack button down while holding block to trigger the spell. Tapping attack while blocking will not work.

Given the scripted nature of the enchantment, it cannot be disenchanted and reapplied to another weapon.

Location:

Mj�lnir can be found up the small mountain in the middle of Whiterun plain. Head to the north side and you'll see a path leading up the mountain. As you approach you'll see a pillar of light, head towards that. You'll find the hammer bathed in a rather pretty and atmospheric shaft of light. (see images)

Known issues:

If the power attack effect doesn't fire, unequip the hammer, drop it, pick it up and re-equip it.



Happy hammering!
