📋 About This Mod
More unique and thematic Poison damage by adjusting the duration and magnitude of all vanilla poison effects. Optional: cheaper poison spells.
Aside from my modded MGEXE game I'm occasionally playing TESmp with somebody who's playing an Argonian poison mage and man poison kinda sucks. It's very expensive in magicka, tons of targets are completely immune, but, worst for the roleplayer: the spells don't feel like poison. It's mostly 1s damage effects exactly like Frost, Fire or Shock.
So, here's an attempt to give poison an identity. The base mod, slow poison 10s. ESP edits all vanilla spells and enchantments with a Poison effect. The effects have at least 10 second duration now, and the magnitudes are reduced proportionally and rounded up. All spells already 10s or longer in duration had their duration doubled and their magnitudes halved (rounded up). Tastes like poison to me.
This also makes Cure Poison more viable! Cure Poison potions may be too strong actually, unless you use a mod like Controlled Consumption. Even Cure Poison at altars may now be useful in some cases.
It has no effect on player-made spells. It also doesn't affect spells added by mods. I may make patches for those when asked.
Since this mod makes the spells actually harder to use, I strongly recommend combining this with cheaper Poison base magicka cost. If you're not using a rebalancing mod that already makes Poison less expensive (most of them do, 9 is just excessive), you can use the Poison Cost 5. ESP included as an optional download. It sets the base cost to 5, same as Fire and Frost. One can argue it should be lower.
Let me know what you think about it!
