Changelogs
Version 1.4
Same as the version 1.3 but converted in ESL format.
Version 1.3
I removed the 2 Spell Tomes from Helgen Keep and the one from the Abandoned Prison. Now the Spell Tome: Lesser Bound Bow will be added (silently, no message that will tell you item added to inventory) directly to the player's inventory the first time you load the game with the mod installed.
Version 1.2
Did few changes to make the Lesser Bound Bow more balanced compared to the vanilla Bound Bow.
Increased the damage of the basic version of the bow from 14 to 23 damage (a little more than half of the vanilla Bound Bow damage)
Now the bow can be upgraded with the Conjuration Mystic Binding perk. Once upgraded the bow damage will increase to 30. ( Almost 15 less damage compared to the basic version of the vanilla Bound Bow).
Duration increased from 80 to 120 sec.
Version 1.1
For Alternate Start mod users, i added the spell tome to the cell in the Abandoned Prison. I didn't change anything in the Alternate start mod.
This is my first mod of this kind, be patience please.
I like to play as Arcane Archer (using a Bound Bow), but starting a new game without my beloved Bound Bow was looking strange to me.
It's a spell, they can't remove it from your inventory.
This is why i created this small mod that simply add a spell tome to learn my custom spell Lesser Bound Bow.
V1.4 Same as the previous version but converted to ESL format.
V1.3 I removed the 2 Spell Tomes from Helgen Keep and the one from the Abandoned Prison.
Now the Spell Tome: Lesser Bound Bow will be added (silently) directly to the player's inventory the only first time you load the game with the mod installed.
If you like to pick up the Spell Tome directly in game, then check out this 3 locations:
Falkreath Watchtower
Winterhold, the stairs that leads to the bridge
Whiterun, somewhere between Jorrvaskr , Dragonsreach and the statue of Talos)
Lesser Bound Bow
(V1.2 Increased the damage and the duration, now can be upgraded with the perk)
Basic version: 23 damage
With Mystic Binding perk: 30 damage
Duration: 120sec.
I created the Lesser Bound Bow like this to feel the need to replace it with the regular version of the Bound Bow.
