📋 About This Mod

Adds three new weapons to the game: Hunter's Longbow, Blackwood Longbow and Marksman's Longbow.

Every bow in this mod has a special ability: Hunter's Longbow does extra damage to animals, Blackwood Longbow has higher than usual sneak attack multiplier and Marksman's Longbow has a chance to knock the target off their feet. The weapons can be enchanted without losing the special abilities.

All weapons can be crafted at a forge, found under 'Wood' category. Crafting the bows requires level 30, 40 and 50 Smithing respectively. Perks are not required for crafting but 'Steel Smithing' perk doubles the improvements. The weapons are sometimes used by enemies and sold by merchants. They start to appear in game after reaching levels 10, 15 and 20 respectively. The weapons are injected into leveled lists with a script.
