Ever Wound Yourself?

[TheMerryPloughboy]

Guys you ever wound yourself with your weapon? I'm experiencing the strangest phenomenon. Sometimes, when I do a power attack (even on a downed opponent) its me who takes the damage. This is true with greatswords and normal swords at least. The darndest thing.

 Wait a sec. I notice the mobs are called bandit thornhides. OBIS stuff. Maybe they randomly damage you by chance?

It's probably a variation of the vanilla perk Reflect Blows, that's been modified and given to all of them. I don't run OBIS so I'm not entirely certain, but I bet that if you open the mod in CK or TES5Edit, or you have the MFG console mod and click on an NPC and look through their active effects and perks, you'll find something to that effect within the normal stuff.

Do you have something like Deadly Mutilation or something?

The thornhides do actually do hurt you, yes.
