LE Brass Knuckle mod

[crosspath]

Unarmed damage is seriously gimped in skyrim, right now unarmed characters have 2 less enchantments available due to not using weapons or shield.

So I realized that all this would be fixed adding a new weapon type into the game, knuckles. Checked for any related mod but nothing appeared, most unarmed mods are overhauls or just plain bonuses to unarmed damage.

 

With 2 enchantable knuckles unarmed characters wouldn't be so wimpy anymore...

I think that for realism sake knuckles should add really really low damage and just increase a bit if using top materials.

Iron knuckles 1 dam
Steel knuckles 2 dam
Silver knuckles 2 dam + silver perk script (creation kit thing, check silver sword, adds +20 damage to undead)

Orcish...

 

I would keep really low adding damage, player would be free to add any enchantment for damage increase via enchanting.

 

Problems to deal with:

 

-Keeping unarmed perks working:

Vanilla skyrim: Fists of steel - Heavy armor perk
Requiem: Combat training - Heavy armor perk
Martial arts - One-handed perk

 

-Claw damage bonus

-Keep unarmed spells working (Requiem - Transmute muscles)

 

-Creating a new skin

 

 

What do you think?

You clearly didn't look too hard ;3 http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/28022/?

 

It's not quite what you were saying, but they are most certainly improvements for unarmed combatants. And they look awesome.

Yes looks nice, but is totally different.

1- You need a gazillion points in smithing to craft them, only ebony+ items... Maybe my melee character shoud start using melee at level 20.
2- No enchanting nor using material bonuses (silver) as they are gauntlets, not weapons.

3- I bet they allow khajiit to use claw damage also, even wearing them.

Basically those are just gauntlets with an unarmed enhanced damage. I can do the same using player.setav unarmeddamage. Skins are awesome really nice, but is totally a different gameplay...

Thanks for showing them to me, did not see them, searched for unarmed and knuckles at nexus and they did not appear.
