📋 About This Mod
============================================================= ********************************************************** The Southlanders ********************************************************** Version: 1. 5 (Version 1. 0 required) Playable race, NPC camp with wolves, bow, and book. By Pimpskinny If you encounter any issues, please post a comment. ============================================================= =========== Description =========== This mod adds a new playable human race called the \"Southlander,\" a Southlander NPC camp with wolves, a Southlander Bow, and a book on Southlanders. It is being developed further. Southlander Race: Southlanders are a bit taller than Imperials with skin darker than the fair-skinned races but lighter than a Redguard. You can typically identify a Southlander for their traditional varieties of face paint. They\'re tough, strong, agile, and most effective with a blade and bow. However, they start at a disadvantage if choosing to practice magic and aren\'t exactly easy to get along with unless you know them. Among the options for character generation (in addition to expanded Vanilla options) are a few of Ren\'s Hairs and Nequam\'s Elaborate Eyes that I thought would befit a Southlander, as well as Trigger190\'s bald style. There are also six face paint options to choose from (including no face paint at all). Southlander Camp: The camp is north of Elsweyr and populated by five Southlanders. Two of them are Druids who will summon a bear on you if you cause trouble. You can buy and sell there, train skills (blade, marksman, light armor, and alchemy up to a high level), and discuss rumors. There are also two large painted Southlander wolves that make the camp their home. The Chief Demonhunter at the camp, Indigo, is accompanied by a spirit wolf who will fight for her. When angered, the spirit\'s soul burns. Southlander Bow: Available for sale at the Southlander Camp, it is a re-colored steel bow to look like copper. The bow ignores normal weapon resistance and does the damage of ebony but requires repair more often. Southlander Book: \"The Southlander Enigma\" has been added to the First Edition bookstore in Imperial City by Imperial anthropologist Kastav Caro, which details his observations of Southlanders and his theory on their origins. =============== Version History =============== 1. 5: Tweaked racial physical appearance. Changed Indigo\'s appearance. Tweaked Southlander NPC clothing, weapons, levels, items for sale. Made all NPCs essential. Added respawning poison and medicine bags to camp. Fixed IDs in Construction Set to all begin with \"SLR.\" Added book \"The Southlander Enigma\" to the First Edition in Imperial City. Gave Indigo a spirit wolf companion. 1. 0: Initial Release (Six \"10\" ratings! Thanks, everyone!) ============== Race Specifics ============== Attributes (Male/Female) Agility: 45/50 Endurance: 45/45 In
