📋 About This Mod

-Shout, shout, let it all out-

This mod alters nearly every shout by either increasing its damage, increasing its duration, or adding new, unique effects. Additionally, all shouts have been altered to reduce cooldown, allowing the player to use shouts in devastating combinations to enhance combat. This mod uses no scripts and can be installed or uninstalled on a new or existing saves at any time.

Utility shouts and low-tier damage shouts such as fire breath now both have very low cooldown times so that combat can be more dynamic and complex. Whereas previously it did not makes sense to use these less powerful shouts because their cooldown time was so great, it will now feel natural to add lower-tier damage shouts and utility shouts back into your combat repertoire.

For example, you could use the sprint shout to move quickly out of the line of fire, shoot an arrow, use a low-tier fire breath shout, attack with a sword, and then finish your adversary off with a high-tier fire breath shout. Such a combat sequence is very easy with this mod and makes fighting much more interesting.

The Mod is also flagged ESL

NOTE: This mod will not make you overpowered. Instead, it will make combat more dynamic and interactive.

4th- Slow Time using the first word only

Shout Changes:

Storm Call:

As of version 4. 0 In addition to what is detailed in the spreadsheet above the shout Storm Call now also does the following:

[]Storm Call has been modified so that the shout no longer damages allies or civilians in town. It only damages creatures, enemies, and people hostile to you. That said if you make the people in town hostile to you then of course the lightning will kill them.

[]When a lightning bolt from storm call hits a ally they will be empowered and shrouded in a electrical cloak that will do damage to hostiles around them. If the ally becomes a enemy because you attack and try to kill them, then the cloak will dissipate.
