However, the stagger spell never actually staggers. Nothing happens at all. I know I got this to work on the player, but it seems to do nothing to NPC's, despite almost all vanilla force effects using this spell archetype. Whenever I use it though, it does absolutely nothing (I'd like to try and do a similar effect to unrelenting force, but not as severe). And I know my spell effect is correctly applying because I get the correct hit sound.
Any help on this? Or is it impossible to stagger NPC's without using Papyrus or using hard-coded effects that I can't actually take advantage of? Or is it just yet ANOTHER thing in the CK or game code that is totally broken?
