About this mod

There are already mods that add copies of Auriel's Bow to the game. None of them do precisely what I want, so I decided to make another one for the Nexus collection. This mod adds two craftable, enchantable versions of Auriel's Bow to Skyrim SE, one vanilla, and the other scoped (drawing on OutLaw666's model from Scoped Bows SE).

Motivation

There are already mods that add copies of Auriel's Bow to the game. None of them do precisely what I want; some add scripts, some are too overpowered, others have worldspace edits that don't mesh with my personal load order. Given these considerations, I decided to make another Auriel's Bow mod for the collection. Mine focuses on compatibility with the base game, adding two craftable, temperable, & enchantable versions of Auriel's Bow to Skyrim SE, one vanilla, and the other scoped (drawing on OutLaw666's model from Scoped Bows SE, the author having granted permission for other authors to use those assets). This mod is in ESL format, and so won't take up an ESP slot.

What This Mod Does

This mod adds two bows to the game: the Prelate's Bow, and the Prelate's Bow - Scoped. The naming is meant to be immersive, following the naming of the Prelate's Mace. Both bows are craftable, temperable, and enchantable. They require the Elven Smithing Perk, and have the same damage rating as the Dragonbone Bow for endgame viability. Damage aside, I have retained the bows' speed from the original, so their DPS is higher.

This mod makes NO worldspace edits, adds NO scripts, and should be compatible with everything with which Scoped Bows SE is compatible. The Prelate's Bow uses a copy of the original unscoped Auriel's Bow model (because the original model is completely replaced by Scoped Bows SE) while the scoped version uses the model from Scoped Bows (making Scoped Bows SE a requirement for this mod). Thus, if you have a mod that edits the Auriel's Bow model from Scoped Bows SE, then it should replace the model for the scoped Prelate's Bow, but not the unscoped one.

Requirements

Scoped Bows SE is a hard requirement.

Permissions
 
While OutLaw666 grants permission for others to use the assets from Scoped Bows SE, that mod remains a Nexus Exclusive. Therefore, I must require the same for this one. In the same vein, if you wish to use my mod as the basis for your own efforts, you are welcome to do so. I ask that you credit OutLaw666 and/or myself, as pertinent.
 
Compatibility

Should be compatible with everything with which Scoped Bows SE is compatible. Anything that changes the scoped Auriel's Bow model will change the Prelates Bow - Scoped, too. The Prelate's Bow (unscoped) uses a copy of the original Auriel's Bow, and thus won't be affected by mods affecting Auriel's Bow. You'll need to make a patch if you want to change the Prelate's Bow.

Acknowledgements

My thanks to OutLaw666 for Scoped Bows SE; it was one of the first mods I downloaded when I started modding Skyrim. I hope this mod adds something special to your game.
