Compatibility: 
- PTF edits: All buffs, armor_type, and weapon_class files are custom made or minimal edits, therefore compatible with any unrelated mod. Incompatible with mods implementing identical or similar buffs/mechanics, or specifically editing Unarmed MS/Disarm perks, and stamina values in rpg_param, or SoulStateEffectContext.
- Non-PTF edits: SurfaceTypes and arrest dialogue.

Additional Notes (PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBSCRIBING):
- Armor should only be worn when gearing up for a fight. When fast-traveling, passing time, or sleeping, it's best to wear only essential protection (or no armor), since your exhaustion rate will be much higher when armored, sleep quality low, as well as significant reduction in stamina. Movement speed is also heavily penalized while wearing armor. Therefore, in order to sprint while armored, Henry will need either "Hermes Haste" or "Ironclad" perks.
- Grappling and Half-Swording (with swords) are now viable means of fighting armored and unarmored opponents. By winning in the clinch, Henry can deal devastating damage with his sword, overwhelming armor's protection. However, NPCs also have this ability.
- Stealth knockouts are restricted to NPCs NOT wearing head protection. Any NPC wearing a helmet can only be stealth killed, not choked out.
- There are NO clinch attacks for Polearms in the game. To enable clinch attacks for polearms, you'll need a separate mod:

- Against bandits, public enemies, or hostile factions, getting knocked unconscious will mean instant death (wear helmet).
- Some quests require killing all enemies (you need to mercy-kill unconscious NPCs).
- When wanted by authorities, if Henry surrenders, or is incapacitated, he can no longer fight or escape. He must either pay the fine, accept his punishment, or talk his way out. This is to prevent a bug associated with adding knockout mechanics to weapons.
