Description:
This mod uses a Perk to dynamically multiply Weapon Damage & Magic Magnitude by random percentages within a configurable range for each weapon & magic type when attacking or applying magic.
All multipliers are controlled by Global Variables, meaning that setting a given Global to 10 will multiply the damage or magnitude of the corresponding weapon or magic by random values between +10% & -10%.
All multipliers are controlled by Global Variables, meaning that setting a given Global to 10 will multiply the damage or magnitude of the corresponding weapon or magic by random values between +10% & -10%.
Weapons are categorized by Animation Type & Keyword, so custom weapon types can be supported easily. Multipliers do not affect base damage.
Magic is categorized by School & Keyword and applies to any Spells, Enchantments, Scrolls, Potions, Poisons, Shouts, Staves and Diseases with the appropriate metadata, but not Food, Armor Enchantments, Powers, Lesser Powers or Abilities.
Magic can qualify for multiple categories simultaneously resulting in an overall reduction of variance.
- The output of Concentration effects are not randomized whilst continuously affecting a target
- Conjuration magic has its Duration multiplied instead of its Magnitude because the latter is almost meaningless in the base game
- Weapon & Magic usage by Non-Actors (traps etc) won't be affected by this mod, nor Scripted damage
- Indirectly cast spells (including some Hazards) aren't fully supported in all circumstances, but this may improve in future versions
MCM Settings are saved & loaded automatically, persisting across different Characters.

make use of these if you wish to exclude anything from the mod.
