One of the little problems with the Forsworn is that for all of the ways they supposedly have a different culture from the Nords, worship Daedra, and practice old magic, this doesn't translate to any difference in their combat other than liking dual-wielding a little more. They are, essentially, Antler Bandits, and very little about how they fight sets them apart from any other enemy type.
This mod edits the Forsworn Berserker leveled lists so that after level 14, 1 out of every 3 enemies added to the list will be a skinchanger instead of a dual-wielder. Skinchangers have no normal weapons or spells, but when they enter combat, they will transform into a werewolf or werebear. These enemies are dangerous mini-bosses and should be treated as such.
Adds new Forsworn enemies that transform into werewolves and werebears mid-combat, expanding Skyrim's enemy variety. With 2,259 endorsements and 365,285 downloads, this mod is a proven favorite for players seeking fresh challenges. Last updated in 2020, it remains popular for its unique mechanic.
