📋 About This Mod

Vampires in Skyrim are often bland and weak. This mod aims to fix that issue. Between Vampire Knights, Unique Bosses with Unique abilities, and a more interesting weakness based system, vampires will now be the monsters they should have always been.

The long and sort is this: Vampires now have critical weaknesses (Crossbows, Sun, Fire) and some major new strengths. After the rank of Blooded, all vampires will receive some unique passives to make them appropriately stronger. Unique bosses are extra strong, and they come with unique passives that make their boss fights memorable. New Vampire Knights carry powerful enchanted items and are clad in armor.  Intrigued? Read the full list of changes bellow:

  • []All vampires have adjusted resistances. They are 50% more resistant to frost and take 20% less physical damage. However, that reduction does NOT apply to silver weapons, crossbows, and auriel's bow. Finally, they are 30% weaker to fire and take 90% more damage from sun spells.

    []Vampire Mistwalker: 20% movement and weapon speed

    []Vampire Nightstalkers: 40% movement and weapon speed

    []Ancient Vampires: +100 Health, +50 Armor, +5% magic resist

    []Volkihar Vampires: +150 Health, +100 Armor, +10% Magic Resist, +20% Movement and Weapon Speed

    []Nightlord Vampire: +200 Health, +150 Armor, +15% Magic Resist, Aura Of Intimidation

    []Volkihar Master Vampire: +250 Health, +200 Armor, +20% Magic Resist, Aura of Intimidation (Nearby enemies are 5% less efficient with melee weapons)

    []Nightmaster Vampire: +300 Health, +250 Armor, +25% Magic Resist, Aura of Extreme Intimidation (Nearby enemies are 15% less efficient with melee weapons)

  • Unique Vampire Bosses (Vyrthur, Harkon, Movarth): +450 Health, +400 Armor, +40% Magic Resist, Aura of Extreme Intimidation + A UNIQUE passive!

 Harkon's Fiery Ambition: When bellow 40% Health, Harkon is cloacked by bloodfire and a swarm of bats, dealing 5 points of fire damage to nearby enemies and draining 2 points of health per second from all enemies.

Vyrthur's Corrupted Light: While above 60% Health, Vyrthur is surrounded by an aura of corrupted light, further increasing his resistances.

Movarth's Fists of Fury: Movarth fights unarmed, brandishing a pair of bound gauntlets that increase his unarmed damage and make his right hand power attacks send enemies flying backwards.
