📋 About This Mod
Description
New Scimitars with drow theme. All weapons have a two hands version (Executioner Draich) and one hand version (Drow Scimitar). You can change between both at any moment using the Elven Smithing Kit (See Customization below).
All with new models and textures. The Legendary models and Avernus Ember are dyable.
Executioner Draich are finesse but require 10 strenght to use them "properly". To account for the extras the damage dice is one step lower (1d10 from 2d6) and have "Execution", a powerfull weapon action that can kill medium or smaller targets on a critical. They lose "Lacerate" as they have build in bleeding.
Drow Scimitars have damage bonus when dual wielded, they also will get the bonus when using an Elven Blade or Elven Dagger offhand. "Lacerate" is improved to "Double Slash" that attack two times.
Location
They can be loot on the world, in each place you randomly find either a 2H or 1H version:
- Uncommon: Backpack nearby the skeleton with the Spurred Band.
-Thraen (Uncommon): Storehouse in the underdark. Inside a trapped chest with scrolls.
-Rare: Looted from BOOOAL.
-Very Rare: Inside the Potter's Chest in the Ruined Battlefield. Same one with the Luminous Gloves.
-Avernus Ember (Very Rare): Looted from a Heavy Chest in the room just north of Yurgir. Same one with the Boots of Brilliance.
-Legendary: Dropped by a Spectator in Hope's prison. Same one with the Burnished Ring.
As always if you want the items asap, you can use Elven Weaponry - Tutorial Chest.
Customization
You can change between Executioner Draich (2H) and Drow Scimitar (1H) using the Elven Smithing Tool (not included, separate download. Follow the link). This will change the look, stats, special effects and sometimes even name.
Avernus Ember only have 2H version (It won't look well in 1H).
