What this mod does
Alchemy can and should be dangerous, especially if you are a noobie alchemist!
- If you fail at creating a potion, this mod will determine the strongest negative (configurable) effect of the ingredients used and with a 10% chance* (configurable) apply it to you!
- If the effect is Damage Health/Stamina/Magicka - you will receive it instantly, magnitude multiplied by 3 (configurable).
- If the effect is not one of the 3 effects mentioned above, you will receive a debuff for a period of time (configurable).
- You will get a notification if your potion backfires (configurable).
- Your level in Alchemy lowers the chance of backfire, magnitude and duration of debuffs.
*Important note about chances!
The formula to the backfire chance is this:
[backfire chance you set via MCM or console] x 100 / [your alchemy level]
What it means is that you set the chance for level 100 in alchemy. If your level is lower - the chance will be higher. At alchemy level 15, the chance will be 66.7%!
Here is the chart for set chances from 2 to 15:
The start of every line above is the backfire chance you'll get at game start. So I would recomment setting the backfire chance anywhere from 1 (mild) to 15 (super hardcore).
Configuration
