-Overview-
This mod adds the ability to apply natural overlays to your character, specifically themed around Dryads. You can apply moss, bark, and leaves to your character, in a large variety of styles, as well as change the colors of them to match your needs. Every color can be used in these paints, as they are designed to accept any colors from the color selector, so your not limited to just browns with the bark, nor to greens on the moss. The varieties added vary in body coverage and style, so there is plenty to mix and match with! Also, now adding in natural magicks!
In RaceMenu, to access the textures, press T over one of the default values to bring up a list of textures you have installed. Press E to change the color, and pressing T within the color selection menu will allow you access to the Glow setting (excluding makeup).
New spells are added that drop from vanilla spriggans (to avoid needing all the dlc's). Spells include a similar magic attack that spriggans use, a poisonous explosive blast, and 3 new types of "skin" armor, each focusing on Fire, Frost, and Shock Resistance respectively. The defensive spells have variants from Novice to Master, ranging from 10% resistance, to 50% resistance.
When applying the overlays to your character, changing the color sliders will allow you to properly change colors. I recommend experimenting, as there are a lot of cool combinations you can make.
All overlays can be found with the prefix Natureborn, in the Body Paints, Makeup, Hand Paints, and Foot Paints Sections.
I made a few dryads based around the different seasons, and their images are in the description, showcasing a great deal of what the mod offers.
