Imperial Pugios – LE by Xtudo v1.1
Adds the historical roman Pugio daggers. There are 13 Imperial Pugios and 1 Royal Pugio scattered throughout Tamriel. The Royal Pugio has a complete set of special buffs that progresses along with your One Handed Skill. 8K-4K-2K-1K.
Description
The Pugio entered Legion service as a compact sidearm modeled after Cyrodiilic tradition. Worn by officers and scouts alike, it served both as a mark of authority and a practical backup weapon, ensuring no Imperial was ever without a blade in battle. Its broad yet aggressive shape made it not just a strong weapon, but also very lethal. Higher ranking officers are sometimes seen wielding more ornate versions of this dagger, the Royal Pugio is usually not just made with better materials, but it may have some magical properties to it.
IMPORTANT:
This mod edits several cells and world records. I carried on the Unofficial Skyrim Patch fixes to those records (but USLEEP it’s not required). Also install this mod before mods like ELFX, Sounds of Skyrim, JK’s Skyrim, or Realistic Water Two, for example; and checkout your load order with TES5edit, if you know how to use it.
The common Imperial Pugio is slightly stronger than a Steel Dagger, but due to its proportions, it is a bit heavier than most daggers.
Now, the Royal Pugio has stats on par with a Daedric Dagger, when equipped, grants the player if a unique ability, Imperial Honor.
