Enchant effects on Power Attacks Only

[boryss]

I think having a mod or script that only applies enchant effects and uses charges from a weapon on power attack would be a nice change to the default system, giving you full control over charge use. It would make certain types of enchantments such as: disintegrate, burden, silence, fear and many others an actual strategic use within the game. Might also be possible to do this on bows if charge use = bow drawn back >2 seconds or something like that.

 

If someone already has a mod out there that can do this i'd love to know, haven't found one myself.

 

If not, i would appreciate if this was attempted, I'm also interested in other people's opinion on this subject.

try the mod "The Soul of Ilithiel" This magic soul gem will impose her will to almost any weapon, and will only use its enchentment if the creature is worth it I assume this is the closiest thing to (on power attack) that i can think of... You will be pleased trust me !

It actually could be easy to implement with some key combo, like if you're attacking, a script checks if that other key is pressed, and if not it removes the enchantment from the weapon just for a while to add it back later. Checking for a power attack could be also done but I think it limits a bit your choices. If you want I could do it myself (I've been messing with very similar code recently), I just warn you that it will require OBSE, so if you want it just let me know how do you want it and I'll do my best.

 

PD: There are also other kind of magical strikes possibles in oblivion. Conduit magic lets you imbude a spell you own to a weapon and "cast" it on strike, consuming magicka each strike. Also my Chargeable Spells mod will include in it's new release the option to channel a spell that you're charging throught your weapon, even bows, kinda you interrupt the charge to deliver a magic strike, and Duke Patrick has developed a way to channel spells when striking with bare hands. They're all pretty fun to play :)

Thanks for the alternatives in replies.

 

Good to see you are putting more effort into that Chargeable Spells mod grmblf, you have seem to have some great ideas. I might try out the conduit magic but i must admit i would be stoked if charge on power attack was possible. I'll be sure to check out the new release of your mod, sounds like you are putting a lot of work into it.
