Sunvaar-Ah adds playable Witcher races to Skyrim, with unique stat bonuses and powers. It offers two racial variants with distinct strengths and weaknesses, plus Witcher Senses and Adrenal Surge abilities. A solid choice for fans of The Witcher series.

✨ Key Features

Adds playable Witcher races with two variants: Human-stock (heartier) and Elven-stock (more magicka).
Provides stat bonuses: +150 Health, +150 Stamina, +20 Magicka, and 500 base carry weight.
Includes skill bonuses: Two Handed +10, One Handed +10, Light Armor +10, Heavy Armor +5, Archery +5, Alchemy +5.
Adds Greater Power Adrenal Surge: recover health and stamina 10x faster for 15 seconds, but magicka regen is permanently 50% slower.
Adds Lesser Power Witcher Senses: detect enemies and other living beings.
Races can be any of the existing races, with Bretons and Khajiit having lower survival chances (lore-based).

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want to roleplay as a Witcher with unique racial mechanics. If you're a fan of The Witcher series and want a lore-friendly take on the mutations, this is for you. Skip if you prefer vanilla races or don't want the magicka penalty.
