The Wielder class is a homebrew class aimed at providing a new playstyle. The class features specialized Weapons that scale along with your character level. Most of your abilities and passives themselves and provided from your Weapon (subclass) you choose.

Wielder currently features Excalibur, a legendary sword from Netheril providing you with different necrotic and force damage themed abilities. Perun, an ancient Lightning Axe inspired by Slavic lore with Lightning abilities. Nekhakha, an ancient Egyptian inspired flail with special CC abilities.  Many more to come.

This mod is still very active in development, and I have lots of features planned for future updates. However, I would still love to hear any suggestions or thoughts you have about its current state.

Wielder Class is a class mod for Skyrim that introduces weapons scaling with character level, with abilities tied directly to the weapon. It offers subclasses that level alongside the player, providing a unique progression system. With 244 endorsements and frequent updates, it's a solid choice for players seeking a weapon-centric playstyle.

✨ Key Features

Weapons scale with your character level, ensuring consistent damage throughout the game.
Abilities are derived from the weapon itself, not the class, offering a distinct gameplay approach.
Subclasses (chosen weapon) level alongside you, granting various benefits as you progress.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid community backing with 244 endorsements and over 88k downloads.
  • Weapon-scaling mechanic keeps your gear relevant without constant swapping.
  • Subclass system adds replayability—each weapon type offers a different experience.

⚠️ Cons

  • Description cuts off mid-sentence, leaving details about later perks vague.
  • No explicit mention of compatibility with other class mods or perk overhauls.
  • Requires manual installation—no mod manager instructions provided.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a class mod that revolves around their weapon, not spells or stats. If you're tired of outleveling your gear and want a cohesive leveling experience tied to your chosen armament, this is for you. Skip if you prefer traditional class systems with skill trees and passive bonuses.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the mod is manual install, drop the files into your Data folder and enable the .esp in your load order.
  • If you use a mod manager, you can still install manually—just make sure to activate the plugin.
  • Test the weapon scaling early to see if it fits your playstyle before committing to a subclass.
