About this mod
Adds a collection of stilettos for the distinguished assassin
- Permissions and credits
Carried over from the Old-rim version, this mod adds stilettos that can be both crafted and found in loot. There's a stiletto for pretty much every standard material type and one unique one for particularly shadowy assassins. There's also a Legendary version that adds dragonbone and stahlrim stilettos.
So, what exactly is a stiletto? It's not a shoe, we can get that off the table right away. A stiletto is a knife or dagger designed not to cut, but to puncture, and the narrow blade means the wielder can get into spaces a normal dagger is too fat to get into. Because of this, stilettos are pretty much poop if you just use it like a normal dagger due to their low damage. Swinging it like the Avatar in the SNES version of Ultima 7 is just going to make you super-dead.
Where the stilettos excel is in assassination. If you sneak attack your foe while wielding a stiletto, they're dealt 1.5 times more damage compared to if you just smacked them, resulting in either severe wounds or death. Silver stilettos, if used against foes that are susceptible to silver, are dealt 2.5 times more damage, provided you sneak attack them of course.
As mentioned above, stilettos can be crafted or found in loot, whether it be chest loot or in the hands of an enemy. Crafting them requires the necessary perks for the material type (except for Iron). There is a unique stiletto, the Shard of Twilight, which can be found in Nightingale Hall.
