Mod «Skill: Combat Prowess» for Project Zomboid

Master the art of melee combat! With each Skill Level you fight longer, fatigue slower, and learn weapon skills faster.

This mod introduces a new custom skill under the Combat category: Combat Prowess. It represents your character's overarching physical conditioning and adaptability in close-quarters combat. You gain Combat Prowess XP organically by simply hitting zombies with any melee weapon. As your Combat Prowess levels up, you will unlock two benefits: Muscle Strain Relief and a passive XP multiplier for all other melee weapons.

The Combat Benefits

• Muscle Strain Relief: Every level of Combat Prowess actively reduces the Stiffness (Muscle Strain) applied to your arms when swinging a melee weapon.
• Transferable Skills: Your Combat Prowess level grants a passive XP multiplier to all standard melee skills (Axe, Long Blunt, Short Blunt, Long Blade, Short Blade, Spear).
  • Level 1: 10% Weapon XP Boost & Minor Arm Stiffness Relief
  • Level 5: 50% Weapon XP Boost & Moderate Arm Stiffness Relief
  • Level 10: 100% Weapon XP Boost & Massive Arm Stiffness Relief

Note: The arm stiffness reduction is applied dynamically the moment your weapon connects. High levels allow you to fight through entire hordes without your arms turning to jelly!

Confirmed working in 42.18. Compatible with other mods. Can be safely added to an existing savegame and multiplayer server.
