== Explosives ==

This mod adds various explosives to the game. 

My character is a sneaky fighter, not a mage. Sometimes I sneak up to a bunch of enemies all standing next to each other. But there is nothing I can do to hit all of them at once. It may sound weird, but in situations like these I wish I had a grenade or something similar. So I made this mod. It doesn't add grenades, instead it adds various types of dynamite to make it feel at least a bit like it could belong into a traditional fantasy world.

The various types of dynamite are:

Regular Dynamite

Comes in packs with 3, 5 or 7 sticks of dynamite. Each pack can be bought with a short or a long fuse. Short fuse burns for 9 seconds, long fuse burns for 18 seconds. Simply activate the dynamite to ignite it. Igniting dynamite, running around with an ignited pack of dynamite or standing next to an ignited pack of dynamite owned by you is a crime.


Dynamite with Arrow Trigger

Comes only in packs with 7 sticks. To detonate it you need to fire an arrow at it. Firing an arrow to ignite the dynamite is a crime.


Mines

Comes with either 4 or 8 sticks. The dynamite is tied to a pressure plate. If you activate the mine anyone who steps on the pressure plate will cause the mine to explode. You can disarm an activated mine and pick it up again if you like. Activating a mine, running around with an activated mine or being seen while standing next to an activated mine owned by you is a crime.


The explosives can be bought from general goods traders in each city. Note that not all traders will have all types of dynamite for sale, eventually you need to look around a bit to find what you want. Some shops may also have multiple NPCs selling wares, not all of them will sell you explosives. The shops that sell explosives are: 

Anvil - Lelle's Quality Merchandise
Bravil - The Fair Deal
Bruma - Novaroma
Cheydinhal - Borba's Goods and Stores
Chorrol - Northern Goods and Trade
IC Market District - Three Brothers Trade Goods
Leyawiin - Best Goods and Guarantees
Skingrad - Colovian Traders


= Installation =

Put the content of the archive into your Oblivion/Data folder and check the Explosives.esp in the launcher.


= Compatibility =

I made sure that this mod is compatible with Oblivion XP (since I use it myself). If you don't get any xp after killing someone with a bomb you may need to set ObXPSettings.scriptKillingDelay to a higher value. Personally I have it set to 0.3 (even before I made this mod, just to save performance) and it works very well for me (both with this mod and in general)


= Permission =

You are free to use any part of this mod in your own mods as long as you give credit.
