📋 About This Mod

The drakians or Dovahkan are the child of the sky it is said that they have been on this plane for just as long as the Dov have. Their draconic heritage make them both mighty at controling the elements and very likely to enjoy conversation.

I heavily recommand the true dragon wings from http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/53271/ with this mod so to perfect your dragonkin ideals.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>VAMPIRE COMPATIBILITY FIX>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

this is the ''how to do'' for drakians who wish to become dracopyres (you might need to set your race to the vampire race via a console command)

Dawnguard vampire lord fix:

Since basicaly we dont have a perfect transfer system for custom race yet you will have to use the console to make the transition to vampire as drakian

console -> player.setrace drakianracevampire

console -> player.setrace drakianracewithhornsAvampire

console -> player.setrace drakianracewithhornsBvampire

this must be done before accepting transformation by harkon or it will not work

you can also try the dawnguard race compatibility fix availlable via this link wich should just do the same thing.

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/24168

about non dawnguard player: since the drakian use a dawnguard eye for the vampire you will proly end up with empty eye soccet. dont panic just do showracemenu in the console a second eye choice is availlable for dracopyre you just need to switch to it (its the default drakian red eyes)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now works with alternate starts! go get your shouts from priestess rakatosk

Scaled body: -50% damage from fire

Drakian scales: + 25 base armor

Dragon blood: -20% shoot cooldown

Dragon breaths: as of version 2. 1 all drakian can use both grand fire breath and grand ice breath wich are two unique shouts only a drakian can learn inately.

The shouts are both teached to drakian character by a npc in the stormpeak named High priestess Rakatosk but require dragon souls to be used

Both breath have superior damage to their non drakian comparison as well as improved effect and are availlable only to drakian.

New words of power

Grand fire breath:

This shout create a huge fireball wich will push and burn your foe in a line

Ahn - Flare

Ehn - Cinder

Shaar - Incineration

Grand ice breath:

This shout create an ice orb wich will freeze and and encrust in ice for in a line if not potentialy para
