Hey all, I've had an idea for a fairly (what I hope to be) simple mod that basically redistributes what weapons are classified as what skill. There's two inspirations for this, one being that Skyrim is known to have One Handed/Two Handed weapons skills, and the other is that I can never decide between War Axes and Longswords for my characters.

The idea is to go through and manually change all one handed weapons to "BladeOneHanded" and all two handed weapons to "BluntTwoHanded". Then all I have to do is go into the skills, change the descriptions, and rename them (Blade to One Handed, Blunt to Two Handed). I know this will be time consuming ( I quickly experimented this morning, and noticed enchantments reset when adjusting weapon type, so I'll have to reassign those as well). I'm not running any modded weapons. All I use it's what's in the game equipment wise.

Two questions really, firstly: Has anyone else done this? There's no point in me spending a lot of time doing this if I can use someone elses mod that does the same thing (TESNexus didn't show anything). Secondly: If no-one has done this, would this work? Like I said, I had a quick experiment, but couldn't find a way to actually rename skills, just change their ID.

I think the SVN version of Wrye Bash has this under Tweak Assorted -> Skyrim Style Weapons. Check out the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1227640-relz-wrye-bash/ for instructions on how to download the SVN version and build a bash patch
