LE Enhancing Skyrim's combat styles

[janaseca]

Hey guys, CK is out so I just want to give some ideas for you about combat styles.

 

I was playing a Khajiit and trying hand to hand combat. I know there are some mods improving the HTH dmg and combat, but my idea was different.

I was thinking about a real Monk, a mage who use robes and your mind to enhance your damage and defence. The most important school should be alteration, we will need to add some spells like "empowered blow" to buff you hand to hand damage by X for Y seconds, we could add criticals to hand-to-hand dmg, skills to guarantee a critical after 3 successive blows, power power attacks to disarm/stagger, etc

 

Anyway the main idea is you to be a melee fighter naked (you can be penalized by using armor, like the way mage armor works) with all your offensive power based on spells (buffing spells or others).

 

The other idea was to make the destruction school more rich, improving the current or giving more short range spells. Could be a armored battle mage like a shaman enhancement in the world of warcraft. We already have cloak spells, we could add temporary elemental dmg buffs to weapons, these elemental weapon buffs should have restrictions to make your physical wepon damage scale with Destruction skill and not 1handed or 2handed skill making the things more balanced. Of course, the physical damage will grow up more slowly, cos you have the elemental damage growing too, to complement.

 

At the end, I think we can have 2 relatively different styles of combat to play.The naked monk doing physical damage with your hands.

And the armored (or unarmored) battle mage doing damage with temporarily enchanted weapons (doing both physical and elemental dmg).

 

Anyway guys, sry if these aren't good ideas I'm still high on skooma.

If you could add an alternate style of fighting with some craftable staves(and thus lootable from the enemies) that would be outstanding. I could get behind a martial artist/monk mod using alteration if the spells had the right "flavor" text.
