Description
This mod adds Kodachi swords to a vendor shop.

Location
The weapons can be purchased at A Fighting Chance in the Imperial City Market District.

Details
The kodachi is a small Japanese sword that is shorter than a longsword but longer than a dagger...typically about 2 feet in size. It was made back in a time when Samurai were the only ones permitted to wear longswords. This allowed merchants to carry weapons that were larger than daggers.

The model is a modified Akaviri longsword and the UV maps were kept the same so that any Akaviri re-texture should work for this weapon as well.

The weapon stats are slight greater than Glass and are fully enchanted.

The primary sword is enchanted and can be used 100 times and has the following enchantments:
- Absorb Health 10 pts on strike
- Absorb Fatigue 10 pts on strike
- Absorb Magicka 10 pts on strike
- Fortify Blade Ability 10 pts

The off-hand (shield) version has the following enchantments:
- Fortify Strength 10 pts
- Fortify Intelligence 10 pts
- Fortify Willpower 10 pts
- Fortify Block 10 pts
- Reflect 10% Damage
- Restore 1 pt Health
- Restore 1 pt Fatigue
- Restore 1 pt Magicka
- Shield 10 pts

Please see the readme for more details.

None.
