I support this!

I have developed this mod all by myself for more than a year (1000+ hours!) so if you like my work and want to support it, here are the links !

Do not use the bell for the shadow curse in the vampire area, it can break your game.

If you are in honnor mode or with only one save, do not use it outside the original maps!

All your progress might be loss, I just experienced it yesterday :(

Mods Recommendations

For a better experience here are the mod(s) I recommend to accompany Fangs and Skulls:

- Any mod that allow a slower XP progression. Fangs and Skulls add encounters and quests so it adds XP rewards.

To equilibrate this, I recommend using a mod that increase the XP required to level up such as Custom XP.

Using x1. 25, x1. 33 or x1. 5 factors should give you a better general experience.

What's new ?

- 09/09/2025

-I Changed the sound of Kruikna for a lower sound.

-I tried to make the pixie bell unusable in my custom areas. I hope it works. Also automatically apply the pixie shield if the bell is in the inventory in the vampires area.

-I added the specific Swashbuckler sneak attacks to work with Heads Or Tails Armor. Remember, you have to specificaly use the sneak attack spell (click on it and on your target) to

increment the kill counter. It does not work if the sneak attack is automatically applied with a regular attack.

-NOTA BENE : It seems that the mod scripts only work if the mod is loaded before the game is created. If added on a on going game, the scripts do not work, so the mod will not either.
