Description:
==================

"The best way to kill something is with the bones of its own"- Jayred Ice-Veins

In Shivering Isles for Oblivion we learn that weapons made with the bones of a being have a certain degree of power over that type of being in TES lore.  The effectiveness of the Gatekeeper Bone Arrows against the Gatekeeper in Shivering Isles demonstrates this.  
Yet the Dragonbone weapons added by Dawnguard have no extra effectiveness against dragons.  I aim to rectify this oversite.  

==================
Details:
==================

This mod adds to the following weapons-
Dragonbone Dagger
Dragonbone Sword
Dragonbone War Axe
Dragonbone Mace
Dragonbone Greatsword
Dragonbone Battleaxe
Dragonbone Warhammer
Dragonbone Arrow
an effect which does 20 additional points of damage when used against dragons.  Against opponents other than dragons they will only do the normal damage of the weapon.  
You can enchant the melee weapons same as usual because I added the effect to them via a script modeled on the one used by silver weapons, so they aren't enchanted.  

==================
Installation:
==================

------------------------------
Manual Instructions
------------------------------

1) Extract the contents of the ZIP folder into your Data folder
2) Make sure the Bones.esp is checked in the Launcher


==================
Incompatible:
==================

This will conflict with any other mod which touches the weapons I listed earlier, aside from retextures which don't use an esp.  You will need to load this mod after any such mods for this mod to work.  

==================
Known Issues:
==================

Just one. The effect on the dragonbone arrows works the same way that the enchanted crossbow bolts from Dawnguard do.  Those enchanted crossbow bolts explode and vanish when you shoot them at something.  This means the arrows will vanish on impact with anything other than a dragon or other npc.  For example, with normal arrows when you shoot one at the ground it will hit the ground and stick there.  Now the dragonbone arrows just vanish when they hit the ground.  They work like normal arrows on impact with an npc, meaning you see them sticking out of the npc.  But on impact with anything else, like the ground, they vanish on impact.
