📋 About This Mod
Introduction
Have you ever been one-shot killed as a Vampire Lord or Werewolf? These creatures are among the most fearsome to encounter in all of Tameriel. They are not supposed be as easy to kill as a mudcrab. One-shot deaths can commonly occur on high level characters, and/or if you play on higher difficulties.
This mod adds Magic Resistance, and Damage Resistance to the Vampire Lord and/or Werewolf race. There are several percentage choices to choose from. These resistances are only applied after obtaining the first perk in the Vampire Lord and Werewolf perk tree. This is a conditional perk check only and does not alter the respective perks or their trees in any way. This helps with COMPATIBILITY and makes sure these changes are ONLY APPLIED TO THE PLAYER CHARACTER.
This mod is compatible with Better Vampires, Sacroscant, and Moon Light Tales SE.
