Absorb Dragon Souls On Death

Very simple mod.

Upon loading this mod your character is set to essential.

When your character reaches 0 health a simple script runs to see if you have Dragon Souls.

If you do It absorbs 1 and restores all of your attributes(Health, Magicka, Stamina)

If you do not you die.

As a convenience I added a potion to the Dremora merchant in the Dragonborn DLC that stocks a potion called "Dragon Soul Essence" which grants 1 dragon soul

It is ludicrously expensive (kind of meant it as a gold sink), at level 100 speech with no known modifiers to sale prices it is 110,000 gold.

I mostly play as lategame characters who have a ton of gold to spare and I could probably make that within a month of in game time.

They were not intended to be your primary source of souls, Go kill some dragons you rapscallion.

Recommended to pair with mods that give you stuff for dragon souls to make you not want to die. (perks, attributes, w/e)

Or permadeath mods if you're hardcore ;) (I personally use Hey You, You're finally awake)

As an optional main file (only pick one) you can also make it so the mod will take filled grand or black soul gems before your dragon souls too. The priority order would be Grand first, Black second, Dragon souls last

Known issues:

Issue: Sometimes bugs out when you die due to fall damage(or any other rag doll scenario) (Loops you in death and drains all your souls)

Mitigation: don't die from rag dolling or have a save to reload

Fixed as of V2

Issue: bound weapons are invisible after a "re-spawn", they are still there and function properly but you just don't see them

Mitigation: re summon your weapon

Issue: sometimes as you go later into the game the timing can get a little skewed so you may get stuck in a bleedout state. To fix go to the console and use the help command to search for "OnDeathQuest" you should see a quest with that name tack the id and run the command stopquest <quest_id> then startquest <quest_id>
