About this mod

Switch stances on the fly, channeling the ferocious aspects of Skyrim's native creatures as you weave the unique animations of The Bear, The Cat, The Stag and The Wolf seamlessly into combat.

Permissions and credits
The goal of this mod is to retexture the Stances icons in a way which will further increase immersion and mood in your game. I have chosen fitting animals, all native to Skyrim, whose aspects best represent the four stances presented in the Stances - Dynamic Animation Sets mod.


The Bear Spirit represents the High Stance
The Bear stands tall with considerable strength, but lumbers slowly and will tire quickest and take additional damage.

Fighting with the aspect of The Bear can end fights quickly, especially if you can one-hit your foes, but get caught swinging multiple times slowly or miss any of your swings and you might not have the sustain to survive the long fight.



The Cat Spirit represents the Low Stance
The Cat crouches low, striking quickly and moving nimbly without tiring but takes hits harder.

Channeling the aspect of The Cat is great for maneuvering the battlefield, striking multiple targets in quick succession and making use of spinning attacks, rapid blows, and the increased regeneration to fight ferociously. 


The Stag Spirit represents the Mid Stance
The Stag is a stubborn, noble spirit. The Stag blocks efficiently, resists damage and staggers less often.

Taking on the aspect of The Stag is useful in situations where survivability is key. Stagger resistance will prevent you from getting tripped up by swarms of enemies and the flat damage resistance will keep you going for the long haul. Shield users will want to switch to Stag often for the block bonus. 


The Wolf Spirit represents the Neutral Stance
The Wolves of Skyrim are numerous, and fierce. As such, they represent the balanced fighter - fully in tune with nature and not sacrificing any aspects of themselves for another.

This is the default stance. It also has the second to highest damage. Very reliable stance when you can't afford the downsides of the other stances and don't necessarily need the damage increase of Bear. Enemies without stance support will default to this stance.
