hey all! first, thanks to any replies I get, any help is greatly appreciated. so I'm trying to make a mod that changes various variables in Skyrim, namely those that affect combat. namely, I want to make attacks (magic, bows, and melee) from both the player and NPCs deal more damage, blocking more effective, and make armour vs. attack a D&D style roll to determine if the attack does any damage or if the armour blocks it; and yes, I realise this is essentially identical to the Deadly Combat and Duel mods, except for the last part.

what I'm really asking here is if anyone knows what variables I should be looking at, and how I might go about setting up that D&D style rolling in the damage equation(s)? there are a number of other things I'd like to do to combat, but this is the main bit.

can anyone set me off in the right direction? I've been looking through the Global variables section in the CK for some time and I can't quite make out what affects combat at all.

again, thank you for your assistance.
