LE Active Skills[Mod Request]

[cajofor]

I just want to share an idea I had(since I can't contribute with anything other than ideas right now) for a mod for Skyrim.

 

I don't know how it could be done, but I liked the Active Skills from ESO, and I think it would be awesome for Skyrim to have its own(instead of spells that try to imitate some of them), some spending magicka, others spending stamina.

 

The SmartCast mod by NeoRunek might give some directions to associating specific powers to hotkeys(via Inventory), if the author doesn't mind.

 

Some Active Skills that would be nice to have, for example, would be:

 

For the Block skill: one where you stop being able to move for the duration, but you provoke enemies(protecting your followers), become invulnerable to damage and have a chance to stagger attackers, and maybe also an area skill to turn the enemies attention to you(also to protect followers that tend to jump on the enemie's swords);

 

For the Archery skill: a Sniping active skill that temporarily increases the arrow speed of the next x shots(where x is the level of the active skill) and grants an even higher version of Steady Hand and Eagle Eye, and a Quick Shot skill that drastically shortens the bow drawing animation and time, but randomizes the trajectory within a certain angle, so it isn't very effective on far away targets;

 

For melee weapons: each skill would have its own Special(stronger than any power attack, but taking longer and spending a lot more stamina), and its own "pull", forcing the enemy closer to you;

 

For Sneak, there would be a Shadow Strike(only usable when sneaking and undetected, and transporting you behind the target to attack with 200% critical), and a "Hostage" skill, that either redirects damage done to you to be dealt on the target instead, or forces the target's position to be in front of you, facing the same direction(human shield position);

 

Light Armor would just have a "Slow Time" effect to make dodging easier, and Heavy Armor would have an effect to increase stat(Health, Stamina and Magicka) regeneration while not walking or running.

 

 

 

Thanks a lot to anyone who reads this, and much more to those that give feedback, suggestions, or decide to take up any part of this.
