Animal Blood Potions for Vampires
Hunterborn add-on for Vampires
Where you a wilderness expert and hunter before that unfortunate incident with a vampire and see no reason to upend your lifestyle and livelihood just because your undead now?
Are you a Vampire who doesn't buy into the mythos of human blood being magically different from any other type of blood and long for some variety in your diet?
Maybe your a Vampire who simply doesn't want to prey on humans for whatever reason and needs another lifestyle choice?
Or perhaps your an adventuring Vampire who doesn't want to get that close to any bandits neck without requiring they bathe first and would like an alternative to subsisting off them?
This mod allows you to craft animal blood potions and raw meat meals at the cookpot for your vampire using the Hunterborn added animal hearts along with the meat.
Combine blood potions to make stronger versions with more healing and greater effects; or mix them with various alchemical reagents for additional, or stronger, properties. Blood potion recipes are hidden unless you possess the hearts, or two blood potions of the same type, and are found in the misc category. Raw meat meals are hidden unless you have the raw meat in your inventory.
For a survivalist play-though (alternate starts for example) animal meats will fulfill your blood lust need and, if you are using Better Vampires with blood points turned on, give you 50 blood points. They will even provide a small heal over time or stamina replenish over time effect.
Version 1. 5 Warning: In the latest version I have removed venison tartare and mammoth tartare. If you have them in your inventory please use them before upgrading or they will disappear.
In Progress: Adding more raw meat recipes and new blood potion recipes.
