Changelogs
Version 1.4.0
- Skills are now unlockable at certain levels. This is an attempt to avoid making the gameplay with the Thunder Axe too overpowered at the start of the game: Level 1: Unlocks Thunderfist Level 5: Unlocks Thunderward Level 10: Unlocks Thunderspeed Level 20: Unlocks Thundershot Level 30: Unlocks Thunderleap Level 40: Unlocks Thunderblast Level 50: Unlocks Thunderball Level 60: Unlocks Thunderstorm Level 80: Unlocks Thunderstrike
- Reduced base damage of the Thunder Axe
- Reduced base damage of Thunderfist
- Removed buffs that do not fit with the theme of the Thunder Axe (effects such as improving pickpocketing, sneaking, two-handed, speech, archery, lockpicking, etc.).
- Removed paralysis effect of the Thunder Axe as it seems to glitch out some enemies when the Thunder Axe hits them.
Version 1.3.0
1. New ability - Thunderward (If the ability is now working or showing up, try to drop the Thunder Axe and pick it up again if you have recently updated this mod to 1.3.0)
- Thunderward is a passive ability that lets you cast a ward in front of the player with the Thunder Axe.
- Thunderward can only be cast if the player has equipped the Thunder Axe on the right-hand and simply executing a blocking action.
- If the player has a shield equipped on the left hand, Thunderward will not be cast.
- Thunderward will block and/or resist melee, ranged and magic magic attacks. Arrows that hit the Thunderward will vaporize.
2. Updated Thundeleap mechanics (Requires "Jumping Bonus Fix by argonil" OR "powerofthree's Tweaks by powerofthree")
- Thunderleap will no longer try to systematically change the jumpheigt value as it seems to interfere with other mods that also try to modify the game's jumpheight setting. Add to your mod lineup, "Jumping Bonus Fix by argonil" OR "powerofthree's Tweaks by powerofthree", to be able to use Thunderleap.
- Adjusted the landing height that will activate the ground bursting landing effect.
3. Updated Thunder Axe weapon ability mechanics
- Unequipping the Thunder Axe will no longer remove weapon abilities like Thunderball, Thunderblast, Thundershot, and Thunderstrike. This is to reduce the notifications of adding and removing abilities to reduce UI clutter, and to avoid breaking the favorites menu set up of the Thunder Axe abilities.
- Activating a Thunder Axe weapon ability with a different item equipped either on the right hand or the left hand, will automatically dispel the selected Thunder Axe weapon ability.
- If one were to try to trigger a Thunder Axe weapon ability after equpping a different weapon, the selected Thunder Axe weapon ability will simply not trigger.
4. Updated activation of Thunder Axe powers and abilities
- A minor tweak that will no longer make Power of Thunder selectable
Version 1.2.0
A. Reworked Mechanics: 1. Thunderfist now has a shocking and paralyzing effect upon hitting a target and will send the target flying away from the player for a short distance. Hits are now accompanied by a thunderous sound and a bright spark
2. Activating Thunderfist will now unequip the Thunder Axe automatically if equipped.
3. Deactivating Thunderfist will now re-equip the Thunder Axe automatically if the weapon is present in the player's inventory.
4. Thunderspeed and Thunderleap are no longer bound by a time duration. The player can now activate and deactivate these abilities whenever they want.
5. Activating Thunderspeed will automatically deactivate Thunderleap if it is already activated. Effects of Thunderspeed, and effects of Thunderleap will no longer overlap each other.
6. Activating Thunderleap will automatically deactivate Thunderspeed if it is already activated. Effects of Thunderspeed, and effects of Thunderleap will no longer overlap each other.
7. Thunderleap will now have a thunderous effect when jumping. This effect will make any character near the player stagger and/or drop from the force generated by the jump. This jumping effect is non-hostile.
8. Thunderleap will now have a ground bursting effect when landing. This effect will many any character near the player stagger and/or drop from the force generated by the landing. This landing effect is non-hostile.
9. Thunder Axe weapon abilities like Thunderball, Thunderblast, Thundershot, and Thunderstrike can now be activated by left-hand power attacks.
10. Thunder Axe weapon abilities like Thunderball, Thunderblast, Thundershot, and Thunderstrike will no longer trigger when sneaking. This is so as to avoid interfering with stealth mechanics.
11. Thunder Axe weapon abilities like Thunderball, Thunderblast, Thundershot, and Thunderstrike can now be activated without deactivating the other weapon abilities. Activating one of these abilities will now automatically deactivate the others if already activated. Therefore, Thunder Axe weapon abilities can no longer be stacked together.
