About this mod

*Updated* Adds *16* special craftable arrows that have various offensive effects.

Permissions and credits
UPDATE CHANGELOG:
Added 5 new arrow types that can be crafted.
These are taught through a new book called 'Archer's Toolbox 2'. A second book called 'An Archer's Obsession Vol. 2' that describes their effects is also added

Arrows added:
Silver Arrow- deals damage to undead, werewolves, and ghosts for 3 seconds

Frenzy arrow- explosion frenzies an area for 10 seconds

Amplifier- deals massive damage to enemies below 50% health

Sapping Poison- deals poison damage and weakens one handed and 2 handed damage by 50% for 8 seconds

Dragon Torment- Forces dragons to land and prevents them from flying for 20 seconds.

I also added a book called 'Summon Ancestral Archer' that allows you to conjure a spirit archer as a greater power. This archer is your ancestor and is the author of the books that teach you these arrows. It comes equipped with barbed, sapping poison, and disarm augmented arrows, and a bow that drains stamina.

The new books are found on the floor of the tent inside Graywinter Watch, which is West of Whiterun.

Additional changelog:
*increased amount of some of the arrows that are crafted from 5 to 10
*increased Armor Piercing trigger chance from 50 to 75%
*increaed AoE of earthquake arrow
*modified name of arrows so they should be compatible with any CFM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arrows included:
Barbed Arrow-does bleeding damage over time

Fire Bomb- delayed explosion that ignites and makes people run in fear

Ice Prison- delayed explosion that freezes things in place

Silence- prevents casters from casting spells for a short time

Smoke Bomb- blinds in an area and slows movement speed

Dragon Poison- damage over time poison to dragons

Disarming Arrow- disarms enemies if they are performing an attack

Raise Dead- raises a corpse to fight for you for a short time

Short Circuit- temporarily disables dwarven automatons

Earthquake- knocks down everything near where it strikes (including you)

I personally enjoy playing skyrim as an archer/ranger type character. I even found that when I did mage or warrior-type playthroughs that I would end up using archery in fights anyways. I still like the magic system in Skyrim, but it is somewhat lost on me since I cannot commit to a pure mage. I wanted to add elements of spells to archery besides the bland enchanting effects. I also found it strange that enchantments were applied to bows, when it is in fact the arrows that damage the target and apply the effect. The recipes to create these arrows will require fairly rare and unique ingredients. I did that because I love to go around and explore skyrim and collect as many things as I found, but I would very rarely find use for the rare items and would usually end up just selling them.


This mod makes it so you will be cycling between different arrows in your quiver to fit the different fights.Each one of these arrows specializes in a combat style or against certain types of enemies, so you will never be unprepared with your bow. I aimed to make it so these are not overpowered, but still have great utility when used correctly. Feel free to endorse if you enjoy this.



Where to find:
Inside Clearspring Tarn on the table where you find the Bow of the Hunt, you will see the 2 books next to it (see in images). After you read the books you will be able to craft the arrows at any forge. *Also, the books contain a bit of my own lore that gives the creation of these arrows a little history*

Installation: NMM or drag the .esp into your Data folder
Version 1.10 is the current file, it contains all 16 arrows

Notes:
This is the first draft of the mod. As far as I know this should be compatible with any other mod.
I intend to expand on this in the future, any comments/questions/suggestions are welcomed
