This is one of the most interesting mods I've seen dealing with combat. I believe you might like it, seems to fit with the goal of TLR. I really hope you choose to integrate this mod into yours officially.

Just saw that you've posted in the thead, so you're aware of the mod. Well what do you say? Isn't it pretty great? Enough to be in TLR?
