📋 About This Mod

Legendary Skill Bonus

Hi, this is the first time I am releasing a mod and the first time I'm using papyrus scripting.

This mod gives you a reason to make your skills legendary and get something in return.

I play with Experience and I have no reason to use the legendary skill system.

Skills

  • []Two Handed: Increases Two Handed weapon damage

    []One Handed: Increases One Handed weapon damage

    []Destruction: Increases Destruction damage

    []Smithing -> Increases Smithing temper bonus

    []Enchanting: Increases Enchantment strength

    []Alchemy: Increases Potion strength

    []Archery: Increases Archery damage

    []Block: Increases blocked damage

    []Restoration: Increases Restoration Power

    []Conjuration: Increases Conjuration Duration

    []Alteration: Increases Alteration Duration

    []Illusion: Increases Illusion Power

    []Speechcraft: Better prices

    []Sneak: Better sneaking

    []Pickpocket: Better pickpocketing

    []Lockpicking: Better lockpicking

    I still miss Heavy and Light Armor skills, since I am not sure what kind of bonusses I should give them.

    You can enable and disable each of them and set the strength of the spell for them. All skills are disabled by default and set to 10% strength.

    I also added 300% bonus XP for enchanting since I find it so annoying to level it. It is deactivated by default.

    I also recommend Thaumaturgy since it removes the crafting skill bonusses from the vanilla enchantments.

    I hope it is useful for you. Enjoy :)
