Do you remember the first time defeating an Ash Spawn on Solstheim and looking forward to looting and wielding that flaming weapon for yourself?
Well, turns out you are in bad luck, because those weapons disintegrate with the Ash Spawn's body!
This mod says no more! Now Ash Spawn have a small chance of leaving their weapon behind (I never said it would be easy!).
The weapon they leave behind will be "smothered" as the fire inside dies along with the Ash Spawn that wielded it.
A skilled smith might find a way to rekindle the fire though..
But that's not all!
This mod also adds new Ashen weapons for you and the Ash Spawn to carry into combat!
There are 6 new weapons, a shield, and 3 more weapons if you use one of the addons for Heavy Armory and/or Animated Armory!
Ashen weapons are divided into 3 weapon materials
- Ash Spawn
The versions of the weapons that Ash Spawn wield. About equal to Glass in damage.
These weapons can't be dropped or used by the player.
Ash Spawn can only use War and Battle Axe animations, so these versions are set to use those animation types only!
- Smothered Ashen
There's a small chance an Ash Spawn will drop a Smothered Ashen weapon. These are weakened and are about the same level as Dwarven.
- Ignited Ashen
With the right knowledge and material a Smothered weapon can be ignited again! Ignited Ashen weapons are on par with Stalhrim.
Just like Stalhrim gives a bonus to Frost enchantments, any Fire enchantments placed on an Ignited Ashen weapon will be 20% stronger!
The Glass and Arcane smithing perks are needed to craft Ignited Ashen weapons.
Should work with any mod that doesn't change the Ash Spawn Race or their inventory items directly (I don't know of any mod that does).
