Details
If you've played Sacrosanct, and you've played a Nord vampire in Sacrosanct, you know what this ability is. You probably cured yourself of vampirism just to no longer have it. This mod is an effort to fix two of its drawbacks: first, that you may want to loot downed enemies in combat without a pop-up by default, and second, that if you're halting the flow of combat to reanimate a corpse it ought to result in a summon less lackluster.
From Ancient Soil Revamp is only going to display its message box if you first put away (sheathe) your weapons/spells. Otherwise, you're just looting normally. If you choose to reanimate a corpse, this mod is going to arm it, armor it, and buff it for you, in one fell swoop. It is primarily a defensive summon, unless you are good at conjuration, which improves corpse offensive capability. Here's how it works (spoilers follow):
- It is your decision whether to leave equipped weapons on a corpse, add backup weapons to a corpse, or remove equipped weapons (to use the conjured ones), before reanimating. If the enemy AI is smart enough to swap to better weapons, it is probably most advantageous to add backup weapons. They are not forced to use any provided conjured weapons.
- Humanoid corpses gain a bonus to melee damage equal to your ((magicka / 1000) * conjuration) + (level / 2).
- Creature corpses gain a bonus to unarmed damage equal to your ((magicka / 1000) * conjuration) + (level / 2).
- Unarmored corpses gain bonus damage resistance, if you've removed all their "main armor slot" equipment first (Helm, Armor, Gauntlets, Boots).
- It is your decision whether to leave armor on a corpse or add armor to a corpse. For each piece you left them with (or added) the damage resistance bonus is reduced by a quarter. Because shields are unaccounted for, it's often advantageous to leave them one or provide one.
- Reanimated corpses (regardless of their equipment) gain buffed magic resistance equal to your (level / 2) + 10, min +10, max +50.
I'd still rather have the Breton vampire racial ability. Damned rocksucking Bretons.
Technical Details
- If you have a severe amount of lag in combat, there is no guarantee this will work appropriately. I'd recommend you sort the lag out before installing this.
- This mod makes no changes to AI. Reanimated corpses will behave however they would otherwise behave.
- Bonuses bestowed (damage/magic resistance) cannot allow their stats to exceed their vanilla maximums.
- Bonuses' amounts might be slightly off, due to rounding math.
