📋 About This Mod

An attempt to improve and extend the poisoning experience in Skyrim, giving you more options for applying poisons, and showing you what your weapons are poisoned with.

Once installed and running, you can highlight a poison in your inventory, and use hotkeys (B and N, by default) to immediately apply it to your right-hand or left-hand weapon. Once done, SkyUI wil show you what poison is applied - and there are even widgets on the HUD so you don't have to open the menu :)

Features

See current poison

Something that really bugs me in the vanilla game is that, once a poison is applied, that's it. You can see your weapon is poisoned, but not what with - and there are several times I've found myself wondering what on earth is going to happen when I whack an enemy with my mystery-poisoned sword..

With this mod, any equipped poisoned weapons will show their poison on the Item Card in the SkyUI inventory screen (the one on the right, with the image). I've positioned it next to the rather nice snake icon which indicates poison, and done my best to make it a useful size. This works for NPCs too! As long as their weapon is equipped, going into their inventory will show what venomous nastiness they've got on their blade.

I've also included widgets for the HUD, so you can see at a glance what your current weapon is poisoned with, and how much poison is left on it. Speaking of which..

Add more doses

Poison running a bit low? About to head into a big fight and don't want to re-apply poison every few seconds? Well, me neither - so if you have multiple vials of the same poison, you can keep pressing the relevant hotkey and adding more doses to your weapon.

Clean poison

Another annoyance in vanilla was that I couldn't remove a poison once it was applied. That seems silly, so using pressing the 'apply' hotkey when a weapon is selected will attempt to clean the poison off. You'll lose all doses of the applied poison, but at least you'll be able to put another one on now.

Non-poisonous poisons

This happened completely by accident, but I decided to leave it in.. Since the mod simply attempts to coat your weapon with whatever Alchemy item is highlighted, it's now actually possible to apply restorative potions to weapons! Why on earth would you want to? Well, I'm not sure you would, most of the time - but in that one circumstance where your friendly Mage follower is far far away and flat out of Magicka, you might appreciate being a
