I get them from the Marksman mod as well. Thing is, I like everything else
about the mod except that. It's called the Marksman mod, because it
improves all the marksman weapons and such, but it pretty much FORCES you to
use marksman weapons whenever you come across these things, because unlike
regular Cliff Racers, they don't come down close enough for you to hit with
melee weapons. One thing I found which helped was a spell added by, oddly
enough, the Chalk mod. This mod basically just allows you to make marks on
the ground with pieces of chalk, but it has a few hidden quests which you
can find by following chalk arrows on the ground. Anyhow, in one place,
there's this kid that's stranded out in the wilderness, and when you lead
him back to town, his father will teach you one of three spells, one of
which is called "Fastfall". It's basically "Levitate _ pts for 30 seconds
in 10 feet on target". Since there's no value in the Levitate spell, it
basically sets their levitate to 0, which causes them to fall to the ground
and be unable to fly again. I'm not sure if you could enchant that item
yourself, as it might be scripted? Never tried. Anyhow, it's invaluable
against Cliff Racers.
