📋 About This Mod
Please Endorse :)
This mod works well with my 'Classic RPG Archtypes WITH FULL NPC Perks' Overhaul mod....for those looking for a D&D style Cleric/Paladin build (and much more).
While exploring, you find cool sounding weapons like the Blessed WarAxe, or Sanctified Mace, or Reverent Sword.....wow, sounds like those filthy undead are in trouble now! These weapons are perfect for a Paladin or Cleric RP play through...right? Nope, not really.
Even IF the undead don't resist the effect (which they likely will), you then have to chase it all over the place in order to finally kill it. It's often easier to just kill undead using a non-enchanted weapon....which kind of defeats the purpose of the Turn Undead enchantment.
This mod makes the 'Turn Undead' enchant more effective vs undead!
The lower end 'Turn Undead' enchantments on found/bought weapons have been slightly increased to effect higher level undead
Player BASE LEVEL enchantment 'Turn Undead' now effects slightly higher level undead (base start 10 changed to 13)
Any MELEE weapon enchanted with 'Turn Undead' does 20% more damage vs undead. This includes the blessed/reverent/sanctified weapons found randomly, as well as any you enchant yourself.
ADDITIONALLY, wearing a Divine's Amulet will further increase that damage vs Undead by 5%....wearing an amulet of Arkay increases it by 10% (for Lore reasons).
the enchantment still requires a charge in order to function. Better keep some soul gems handy! :P
Also, the undead target can still resist the effect if it is too high a level vs your weapon's Turn Undead enchantment level!
*this mod IS compatible with EVERYTHING!
This mod enhances the vanilla Turn Undead enchantment in Skyrim by adding 20% extra damage against undead for melee weapons, with a further boost if you wear a Divine Amulet. It's a simple, focused tweak for players who want holy weapons to feel more effective.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Directly improves a lackluster vanilla enchant, making holy builds more viable.
- Simple concept that fits the immersion theme without overhauling combat.
- Decent community traction with 271 endorsements and over 6.6k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects melee weapons, so ranged or magic users get no benefit.
- Requires a Divine Amulet for the extra boost, which may be hard to find early.
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter the Turn Undead enchant or amulet effects.
For Skyrim players who enjoy paladin or cleric roleplay and want their holy weapons to actually hurt undead more. Also good for those who find the vanilla Turn Undead enchant underwhelming. Skip if you're not into melee combat or don't care about undead enemies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to grab a Divine Amulet early—check vendors or temples for a chance to find one.
- This mod only affects melee weapons, so pair it with a one-handed or two-handed build for best results.
- If you use other enchantment overhaul mods, test this one in a separate save to ensure no conflicts.
