Recommandation by author how to use the mod!


AS some of you already know i designed this mod primarly for players on lvl 30 + who play on either Master Level Difficulty or Legendary difficulty.

I'll release the Lite version of the mod also after the new 4.0 version, so stay tuned. More about Normal version and Lite version is described in this description.

If youre using these mods:

Deadly Monsters Tweaks (Deadly Dragons Optional Plugin)


Make sure that you set up for each type of NPC:
Health 50% + (I have it on 300 % from lvl 10)
Damage 100% +
Armor 50 +

With this setting Bloodmoon Rising really starts to "shine", not only it gives you survivability but good damage output.

SkyRE + SkyRE Combat + SkyRE Enemy AI


With this mod things get a little harder, use tactics to avoid enemy attacks, altough Bloodmoon Rising still scales very good with SkyRE combat and enemy AI.
One thing to mention if youre using SkyRE:

Since SkyRE changes Fortify Unarmed Damage (werewolf fortify unarmed damage is excluded by SkyRE), the WerewolfImmunity (Werewolf BLood), will give you 40 % reflect damage except Fortify Unarmed Damage, which is low but useful.
Im playing with all those settings + SkyRE, the game is very hard in human form, but in werewolf form slightly easier but still chalanging.

Again i aim always for balance and better scaling without overpowering the werewolf, so i hope you enjoy the mod as much i enjoy to improve it! Also dont forget to endorse! :)

This mod is now as it should be since i wasnt satisfied with the first release so i hope you will be satisfied with this new release, this mod is continiuation of the mod by Xahstur ToL Werewolf Overhaul The Call Of The Bloodmoon.


Also dont forget to endorse it keeps me motivated to continue working on this mod. Ty!
