Beastly Abilities

Beastly Abilities

Beastly Abilities gives Argonians and Khajiit powerful racial abilities to make up for their drawbacks, make playing them more interesting, and add to immersion.

• []Changed the names of abilities to be more diegetic, less game-like.

  []Changed the Argonian poison ability. Spit Poison is now Spray Venomous Blood. A relatively weak poison, but it has a 70 point demoralize effect on humanoids and creatures. However, it will cost you 15 hp, as you spray blood out of your eyes like a horned lizard.

  Included the Beastly Abilities 1. 40 Patcher.esp as a way to install the new abilities on existing characters. See installation instructions below.

  The beast races don't have it easy in Morrowind. They are constantly enslaved, their animations are jank AF, and they can't wear boots or helms (goodbye, Boots of Blinding Speed; goodbye, full suit of Daedric armor). Beastly Abilities attempts to balance those drawbacks out by adding unique, powerful, and race-specific abilities and spells to Argonians and Khajiit. These should make playing an Argonian and Khajiit feel not like playing a Dunmer but without the ability to wear shoes, but instead fundamentally different from playing any other race. It also includes resistances and weaknesses to make the races more interesting to play. It is a continuation of my mini-mod Argonian Racial Swift Swim.

  Features

  Argonian Abilities

  • []Tail Propulsion - Argonians are now faster in water than on land. With their water breathing and unique swim animation, this looks as if it should always have been this way. Swift Swim 70 points.

    []Gilled - Water Breathing is now natural to Argonians, no longer a spell.note that there is one questline in the game that requires you to drown. Damaging yourself through other means will solve this.

    Daily Powers

    • []Spray Venomous Blood - Argonians can now poison on touch once a day, to scare off predators. 5 poison damage for 30 seconds, demoralize creature and humanoids 70 points for 30 seconds.

      Resistances and Weaknesses

      []Cold-blooded - Being reptilians, Argonians are vulnerable to cold. 25% weakness to frost.

      []Hard Scales - The ski
