does sneak/crouch improve chance to avoid hits ?

Post by LoneWolf »

A while ago during a tough melee fight I accidentally touched ctrl (i've set it as toggle) and crouched in sneak mode. My opponents suddenly missed a lot more.

I thought it was just a coincidence but have used it more frequently and do have the feeling avoiding to get hit is easier in both ranged (archers) & melee fights when sneaking .

I do use https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/43108 which changes i1stPersonSneakDelta from 10 to 25 .

Uesp wiki & openmw wiki/research don't mention sneak as changing hit/to-get-hit chances.

Maybe a crouching character has a smaller hit box and is therefore harder to hit ?
