! ! ! MOD DESCRIPTION ! ! !
Smite and Stagger is meant to give the player the feeling that every swing and spell has weight and impact when landed. The player as well as every NPC has been given new or tweaked abilities to reflect this in game. NPC's will stagger or knock you down depending on their relative size to the player, giving you a much more believable and realistic experience in combat. NPC's have also been given limitations to their movements in battle by way of "Mortal Enemies" which this mod uses as a foundation. With Smite and Stagger you will no longer be able to ignore a direct hit from a warhammer or an exploding fireball, instead you will probably be knocked off your feet and into mortal danger.
Smite and Stagger will not be for everyone, it is going to make Skyrim's combat far more dangerous and difficult, and some players may find that off-putting. And that's OK, but if you're like me and enjoy the challenge of overcoming dangerous magic and overwhelming odds then this mod is definitely for you!
This is a huge mod that makes lots of changes to magical effects, spells and races in particular in order to make this mod possible.

Here is what the mod does in a nutshell:
Major Features
Melee & Ranged Combat
- A successful melee attack now has a 2 in 3 chance of causing a stagger effect. (I chose 2/3 to simulate glancing blows in the chaos of battle)
- Anyone hit by an arrow, spell or sword will react with a stagger animation and will be interrupted if in the middle of an attack or casting a spell, this applies to the player as well as NPC's!
- To increase the intensity of combat Stamina regeneration in combat has been doubled from 35% to 70%.
- Although in this version normal attacks do not cost stamina, running your stamina too low or to zero will not allow you to attack at all, with melee weapons, bows or spells! You will not be able to attack again until your stamina has regenerated at least 5 stamina points, which explains the reason for doubling the stamina regeneration during combat.
This small clip will show the danger of running your stamina low when you think your opponent is finished.
- Gravity, skeletal collision, weapon and unarmed reach have been altered for a more realistic feel when actors are knocked to the ground or when squaring off for a brawl with the locals.
- Unarmed normal and power attacks will now stagger their opponents if not blocked! This affects the player and all NPC's! Giving out beat downs is far more satisfying now!

Magic Combat
- Most offensive spells have been given some amount of stagger or knockdown effect, making spell casting extremely deadly and effective in combat for both the player and NPC's.
- In order to make Magical staves a bit more viable in combat, most novice spell offensive staves have been given a damage buff of 50% in addition to having the same staggering effects as their normal spell counterparts.
- Players can cast up to 3 runes in combat instead of just one as in vanilla
Here's a small demonstration versus Priests of Vermina and Orc warriors!
NPC's & Enemies
Smite & Stagger was created as a companion mod to my other mod Savage Skyrim, this mod tries to cover most enemies in the game that were not covered under Savage Skyrim, including Vampires, Drauger, Skeletons, Falmer, etc. So if you're a fan of Savage Skyrim you should thoroughly enjoy Smite & Stagger!

Minor Features
- Every male and female of each race has had their height and weight adjusted to reflect a bit of diversity among the races and genders.
- The amount of downtime has been doubled for essential NPC's when defeated in combat from 20 seconds to 40.
- the amount of time dragons are on the ground and perched on buildings has been increase slightly to make fighting dragons a little less tedious.
- As an added challenge and Since magic is so deadly now, all starting spells have been removed from the player when creating a new character.
! ! ! MOD COMPATIBILITY ! ! !
This mod has no requirements and uses no scripts of any kind, it has all been done with the magic of the Creation Kit.
Unfortunately I simply don't have the time to test compatibility with all the combat mods on the Nexus. That being said it should still work with most other combat mods, but your experience will change depending on the mod in question.
This version is designed to be as vanilla friendly as possible, but will conflict with any similar game-play mods that edit effects and race records or the same values. In that case you'll need to create a patch using SSEEdit.
This mods mostly adds perks to NPC's, so it should be still be compatible with most other game-play and perk mods such as Ordinator, SPERG, etc.
Plays especially well with my other mods SAVAGE SKYRIM,
ADVANTAGEOUS ARMOR and LIMITED LEVELING!

! ! ! Load Order ! ! !
Should place plug-in below any other combat, magic, or game-play mods to insure the mod takes effect and is not over-written by any other mod.
! ! ! INSTALLATION ! ! !
Simply choose either Vanilla or XP32 Version, download and install with your favorite Mod Manager!
I would recommend starting a new game to slowly acclimate to the new combat, which will be fairly brutal when compared to vanilla.
! ! ! PERMISSIONS ! ! !
Mod authors have permission to create mods, compatibility patches or use this mod as a foundation for their own mod on the Nexus as long as credit is given and is not being sold.
