📋 About This Mod

This mod was born when I realized the book Troll Slaying is written as a how-to, but it doesn't teach you anything. It's not a skill book and it doesn't help you do anything to fight trolls. Let's change that, shall we?

Currently the mod modifies a total of 16 books to teach some small perks when the player reads them.

  • []Troll Slaying:

    []Buffs your attack damage by 5% against trolls.[/]

    []Reduces troll damage by 10% when blocking.[/]

    []Chance of finding more troll fat on troll corpses.[/]

    []Immmortal Blood:

    • []Buffs your vampiric drain spells by 5%.[/]

      []Reduces damage from incoming vampiric drain spells by 5%.[/]

      Additionally, because this book is a tale of Movarth's hubris, it offers insights into how he thinks that will benefit your fight against him and his minions during the raid on his lair in Laid to Rest:

      • []25% spell and attack damage buff against vampires in Movarth's lair during the raid.[/]

        []25% reduced damage from vampiric drain from Movarth's vampires during the raid.[/]

        []Herbane's Bestiary: Ice Wraiths:

        • []Buffs your attack damage by 10% against ice wraiths.[/]

          []Reduces duration of ice wraith bite by half.[/]

          []Chance of finding an extra ice wraith tooth.[/]

          []Herbane's Bestiary: Dwarven Automatons:

          • []Block 10% more weapon damage from Dwemer automatons with your shield.[/]

            []5% more physical damage to automatons.[/]

            []Chance to find more Dwarven oil on broken automatons, increasing with their size.[/]

            []Herbane's Bestiary: Hagravens:

            • []10% more weapon and bash damage against hagravens.[/]

              []Weapon hits or bashes against hagravens restore 10 stamina.[/]

              []Herbane's Bestiary: Spriggans (from Little Library):

              • []10% less poison damage from spriggans.[/]

                []5% more weapon damage against spriggans.[/]

                []Chance to find spriggan sap.[/]

                []Herbane's Bestiary: Chaurus (from Little Library):

                • []10% less poison damage from chaurus.[/]

                  []10% lower chance of stagger from chaurus.[/]

                  []The Wispmother:

                  []Reduces power of most wispmother spells and the wisp drain attack by 10%.
