📋 About This Mod
The liches and wraiths in Oblivion have very little loot - an ingredient and (possibly) a weapon - despite being dangerous opponents, especially for low-level characters. With this mod I wanted to change it slightly.
Now the loot is as follows (in addition to vanilla one):
Lich
1 or 2 potions
1 or 2 scrolls
1 or 2 soul gems (any type, randomized)
possibly some enchanted jewelry (75%)
Nether Lich
1 or 2 scrolls
1 soul gem (any type, randomized)
possibly some enchanted jewelry (25%)
*If you have the Spell Tomes DLC installed, you can sometimes find a spell tome instead of a scroll.
Gloom Wraith
1 or 2 soul gems (any type excluding Black; leveled)
Wraith
possibly a soul gem (75%; any type excluding Black; leveled)
possibly a potion (75%)
Faded Wraith
possibly a soul gem (50%; any type excluding Black; leveled)
For balance reasons (or loot reasons, depending how you look at it), armed varieties of all three types of wraiths now have a 100% chance of having poison in their inventory.
Installation
Copy the .esp into your Oblivion/Data folder & check it in your Data Files or Oblivion Mod Manager.
Removal
Delete the .esp.
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with anything that does not alter these types of enemies. If you have a mod that does it (and is not an esp-less mesh/texture replacer), it may or may not be compatible, you'll need to check that. Specific wraiths or liches, like Lorgren Benirus or the King of Miscarcand, are left unchanged. Please notify me about any incompatibilities.
