📋 About This Mod

Thane Weapon Reforged

-

LotD Edition

Legacy of the dragonborn and Thane Weapon Reborn offers a distinctive approach to the enchanted rewards granted upon achieving the prestigious position of Thane in various holds.

Instead of receiving a generic enchantment, these mods bestows upon you a truly exceptional artifact that befits your esteemed status as the champion of that hold.

Every weapon is imbued with an automated progression system, ensuring its prowess evolves over time. This progression enhances key attributes such as damage, critical damage, critical multiplier, speed, and knockback.

These upgrades take effect at intervals of every 5 player levels, up to level 50, culminating in a weapon that slightly surpasses the capabilities of the daedric counterparts.

Furthermore, each weapon comes equipped with captivating abilities akin to enchantments, which become visible in your active magic effects roster. Notably, these scripted effects are designed to coexist harmoniously with any additional enchantments you choose to apply, allowing you to customize the weapon's attributes according to your preferences.

What's more, the uniqueness of each weapon's form is preserved throughout its growth, persisting even after it undergoes upgrades.

To add to the versatility, these weapons can be reforged at any blacksmith anvil or forge, facilitating conversion between one-handed and two-handed variants, although this process nullifies any personal enhancements previously added.

Additionally, all iterations of these weapons can be tempered, ensuring their durability and combat effectiveness remain consistently exceptional.

Thane Weapon Reforged - LotD Edition is an overhaul of the LotD Thane Weapon with new model and abilities.

A version designed for Thane Weapon Reborn (standalone) will come very soon.

Base damage are aligned on their Nordic counterparts.

    []First shot gives you a 20% chance of inflicting 30 points of bleeding damage in 6 seconds and marking the target.[/si
