Bassem's better Deadly Aim perk

Description
PLEASE RATE!

Sneak attacks with bows do x6 damage instead of default x3.

This mod shouldn't conflict with anything else unless it also alters this perk.

Guys, for those of you who think this is overpowered, you can disable the mod. However let me give you my reasoning for creating this mod: The damage amplifiers on other weapons are already pretty high. I mean, 15x damage with daggers?
With good enough sneak, getting close to an enemy is not a challenge anymore. You can practically bellydance in their face and they won't notice you.
But sniping a distant target with an arrow, especially a moving target, is a challenge no matter how high or perked your Archery level is. So I think the reward for hitting your target should be better. (I am a terrible shot.) It's just more satisfying to shoot that distant running deer or patrolling bandit and see them go down.
On higher levels, this mod is not an instant kill anymore, BTW, even with good bows and arrows.

thanks for this

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll just fiddle with mod load order. Weird though, since I don't have any mods that alter perks

@Kinne hi, I just went in-game and tested it. The perk description in the skill constellation describes it as six times damage, and the status indicator when you hit someone also says "Sneak hit for 6x damage". So if it's saying 3x for you then the mod isn't being applied.

If sneak attack with a bow only does 2x, then you don't even have the perk this applies to. Get the perk and try again. Anyway, I DO have the perk, but it only shows up as 3x. Is that because you didn't change the text, or is something conflicting? Should it say 6x, or will it say 3x but actually do 6x?

Okay, I appreciate it. I have 17 other mods that might interfere too, I'm not sure. but this mod sort of seems like a standalone; just editing the sneak bow modifier

@Hewcumber I wonder if an update messed things up. If more people report this, I will re-install Skyrim and check it out.

subscribed and loaded, but my sneak attacks with bows only doing 2x?

Accepted.

@coldacid No plans to put on Nexus. I tried pasting a direct link to the file here but Steam removed it. I added you to my friends list, accept and I'll give you the link

Have you put this on Nexus?
