SSE Skyrim SE linking Encumbrance to Sneak

[Pradallama]

Iâm planning to update my mod with an effect that makes encumbrance directly affect the players sneak skill. The question is what do you guys think is appropriate, my feelings are something along the lines of this:

 

Every 10 points of weight 50 - 100 hits the player for 1 sneak skill point

 

Every 10 points of weight 100 - 150 hits the player for 2 sneak skill points

 

And so on until 300, if over 300 it hits you for 10 straight off.

 

This will stack so if the player has 300 inventory weight they will be hit for 75 points of sneak.

 

Is that too much? To me if you are carrying that much you can pretty much rule out sneaking. Thatâs what Iâm going for.

 

Do perks become unavailable if your skill is debuffed below the required amount?

I would be more tempted to base it on percentages. I.E. You can sneak just fine up to 50% of your max carry weight. Then, for every percentage point over that, you lose a corresponding number of points in sneak.

 

I don't *think* that having a skill reduced negates perks....... as there are a fair few potential debuffs in game...... But, no evidence to support that opinion.

Yeah that is food for thought. My original plan sounds good in theory but might be harsh in game. Edited December 1, 2018 by Pradallama

Just as an idea, personally I wouldn't actually reduce skill points, I would debuff the stealth result instead. Basically same as there is a clothes enchant that buff stealth, except with a minus.

That's actually a better idea. :)
