📋 About This Mod

Stormcrown - A Shout Overhaul

Stormcrown is a complete overhaul of Skyrim’s Shout system designed to balance existing Shouts, add new Shouts and new effects for Vanilla Shouts, and provide additional progression for the player’s experience as Dragonborn.

Requirements

Stormcrown requires Address Library for SKSE Plugins and the most recent version of Custom Skills Framework. Stormcrown requires a save in which you have not yet asked Paarthurnax to teach you to meditate on the Voice. If you've already passed that point in your game, please start a new game before installing.

Dragonborn Perks

When you complete your training at High Hrothgar, and the Greybeards officially recognize you as the Dragonborn, you will receive a Lesser Power called Meditate. Using the Meditate power will cause your character to enter a meditative pose, and will grant you access to a new Dragonborn perk tree.

You acquire new perks for the Dragonborn perk tree by killing dragons and absorbing their souls. The first five perks require two souls each; the next five perks require three souls each; the next five perks require four souls each; the sixteenth and final perk requires five souls. All told, completing the Dragonborn perk tree requires that you kill fifty dragons and consume their souls. Note that these souls are not consumed by the perk tree, and you are still free to use them to unlock or upgrade Shouts.

Dragonborn (2/2) - Your Shouts are 25/50% stronger.

Dragon of the North -  You resist 25% of incoming stagger, and you take 25% less damage while staggered.

Sky Above (2/2) - Your Shouts last 50/100% longer

Voice Within - Your Shouts are silent to others

Windcaller (2/2) -  Your Shout cooldown is reduced by 25/50%.

Way of the Voice - Once every ten minutes, when you fall below 25% Health, your Shouts have no cooldown for 10 seconds.

Deep Breath (2/2) - Your Shouts have a 25/50% chance to deal double damage.

Ancient Voice (2/2) - Your Shouts have a 50/100% chance to stagger enemies.

Sharp Tongue (2/2) - Your Shouts deal 50/100% extra damage to enemies who fall below half Health.

Stormcrown - Your Shouts have a 25% chance to have no cooldown in combat.

Dragon Shouts

Stormcrown overhauls every Shout in the game. Some Vanilla Shouts, such as Disarm and Animal Allegiance, had particularly forgettable or undesirable effects, and have been changed drastically. Stormcrown also fixes numerous bugs with existing Shouts and adds two new Shouts to the game, Lightning Breath and Poison Breath
