📋 About This Mod

18/12/2025: I've had multiple people approach me about this mod not being able to be cleanly uninstalled, unfortunately, I have not been able to reproduce this issue.

I personally use only about a dozen mods or so and never had an issue

with selecting, customizing, respeccing, or uninstalling. However with

this many people reporting issues I want to make it clear that there

might be a real risk you will be stuck with the mod, at least for the

playthrough you used it on. Anything to do with draconic scales in the

game code is extremely buggy and difficult to sort out and I currently

do not have the time to go through everything again, even more so as it

seems only a number of people are negatively affected. Download this mod

at your own risk.

Compatible with patch 8!

Adds the option to select draconic sorcery scales. Compatible with any class/race in the game!

- You're only able to select very basic options in CC, this is a UI limitation which I'm currently unable to bypass. For detailed customization, you HAVE TO use the magic mirror in camp. I recommend selecting draconic sorcerer so you can access the editor in CC, selecting the presets you want and remember them for when you get to the magic mirror. If you don't wish to add the scales, you can simply select 'No draconic scales' and nothing else will be affected.

- Compatible with ongoing playthroughs, simply go to withers to respec and choose a dragon ancestor that way. If you want the same class, simply click on another class and back to your preferred one during respec, and you should also be able to choose a dragon ancestor this way.

- Not compatible with draconic sorcerer as the mod edits its files. Simply disable the mod and you will be able to get the proper progression on the subclass again.

- Compatible with custom races

- Not compatible with custom classes, as the mod relies on edited class progression files. If there's any requests for specific modded classes let me know and I will be able to patch them in.

- You will be able to select basic options for origin characters, but in order to access the editor in the magic mirror Appearance Edit Enhanced is required.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use the magic mirror in camp to access the new scale options — it's the only way to apply them.
  • If you're using mod manager, make sure the mod is active before loading your save.
  • Check if the mod requires a new game or if it works with existing saves — the description doesn't specify, so test on a spare save first.
