Alternate Stat System

• What is it?

With the vanilla system, it is possible for a mage with maxed magic skills to only have 100 mana. This is silly. Instead of having health, mana, and stamina be determined by a random level up, this mod allows these stats to be determined by the skills of the player.

• Is it a 1-to-1 relationship?

No. For example, 1-Handed and 2-Handed Weapons both increase health and stamina, but they do it differently. 1-Handed attacks require a lot more dexterity than 2-Handed attacks, which require strength. These will increase your health and stamina values differently.

• Strength? Dexterity? What?

As a middleman between stats, all skills influence one of 6 possible secondary stats, which then go on to influence health, magicka, and stamina. These stats are Strength, Dexterity, Endurance, Intelligence, Willpower, and Personality. Currently these secondary stats only handle the primary attributes and do nothing else to your game. In the future these stats can optionally do different things.

• Cool! Let me install it!

Awesome! To use this mod, you MUST HAVE SKYUI (for it’s MCM menu). So go and get it if you haven’t already! Why does it need SkyUI? Well the mod is enabled there and the player’s secondary stats are displayed there as well. Currently, customization options on that menu are under development. If you don’t like it then you can “uninstall it” via the MCM menu, which will stop this mod scripts from running and provide a cleaner save game once you uninstall. Use the console to get your stats to a level that you like.

• Compatibility & Issues

This mod is nearly compatible with anything and everything. It doesn’t even use Skyrim.esm as a master and can thus be used with even total conversions (Enderal!). However, please report any issues you find to the comments board at the Nexus. There are some obvious incompatibilities (Third Era Attributes, AutoPerk/Stats/Level, etc).

There is however, one issue, I cannot disable the “You have leveled up! Choose an attribute!” on the skill page when you go and distribute your perk points. Whatever stat you pick on that page is useless as this mod will eat it when you close the menu. If anyone knows how to disable the message please contact me As far as I know it is hardcoded to the engine, but I can be wrong
