Get Ready for Battle
Prepare to become a formidable force against the undead! Level up your Combat Mastering, choose your traits wisely, and dominate every encounter with faster, more effective strikes.





That's all for now. I was planning to add more modifiers, but as I tested, I found it to be unbalanced and too easy. I'm open to suggestions.

why does this work on weapons????
somehow it's ridiculous that I spend 15 rounds to kill one zombie (if you take a negative perk and there will be 0 level of battle astress)

shooting a gun shouldn't give exp unless it would also work on guns

It’s already a beautiful and well-made mod, so I’m definitely not nit-picking — just sharing a couple of small suggestions that might make it even better:

It could be nice to give it a simple, single-word name like “Prowess”, “Brawl”, or “Handling” or "Agile", "Lethal"... a short name would look cleaner in the menu and also feel more in line with the vanilla naming style.

It might also make sense for it to be placed under the Combat category, since that would match its theme and make it easier to find among other related skills.

@GersonRess > You're welcome brother! Thanks to YOU for the mod and for fixing it up!

@CFW Magic Thanks a lot for your contribution. I hadn't noticed it myself. I'll update the mod as soon as I can.

Okay, after testing, I've found the fix. In CombatMasteringSkill.lua, add this code block to the beginning of combatMasteringModify function:

if not handWeapon then
return false
end


This will check if there is a weapon in the player's hands on every execution, and if there isn't one (when weapon breaks) will immediately return out of the function. I've checked and debugged and it seems to be working. Here's the link to the fixed version of the mod so you can see/test it for yourself. It's unlisted and I will remove it when/if you implement the fix:

Hello there, I'd like to report a bug. When doing multiplayer, every time a weapon breaks there's an error. As far as I can understand it, it's because there's no sanity check (check for null value) in the file client/CombatMasteringSkill.lua. As a result, when weapon breaks, game tries to apply combat mastering while there is no weapon in player's hands.
