This Mod has been replaced by my 'Classic RPG Archtypes AND FULL NPC Perks GAME OVERHAUL' mod.

Please Endorse! :)

I made a Berserker mod a while back, and people were very interested in how I implemented the Berserk Daily Power.  The same people tended to  also be interested in my Dragonborn Empowered Shout concept.

...the problem was that I had a ton of penalties/gimps that people did NOT want to endure!  Well, this mod basically removes the penalties that the original included.

Keep in mind that this mod's NPCs can use many of the same perks as the player (especially bandit types) = NPCs can more formidable than in vanilla.  Beware!

Finally, this mod works fine on its own....but is intended to be used with 'realism' enhanced difficulty type mods...such as Vigor, Skyrim Unleveled, Potion Animation, Scarcity, iNeed, and so on!

What does this mod do?


1) Nords and Orcs now both have the Daily Power 'Berserk'...but it is VERY different than vanilla: 

There is also a slight difference between the Nord and Orc's Berserk (see below).  Berserk increases in power as you level up.  However, using Berserk is taxing on your body, and you suffer afterwards...it could even kill you!  Here is what Berserk does:

Bonuses:
-Fortify Health 100 for 1 minute
-Fortify Health 50 for 90 seconds IF at lvl 20 or higher (additive)
-Fortify Health 50 for 2 minutes IF at lvl 40 or higher (additive)
-Fortify Health 50 for 150 seconds IF at lvl 60 or higher (additive)
-Fortify Stamina 100 for 1 minute
-Modify incoming stagger -50%
-Modify player Attack Damage x2 IF melee/unarmed/bash type damage
-Modify player intimidation by +20 (addition)
-Modify incoming damage -20% IF attacker weapon is melee/unarmed
-*Orcs take -10% less damage vs melee blunt weapons (mace/warhammer/unarmed)
-*Orcs take -5% less damage vs non blunt/unarmed melee damage

Penalties:
-Health Damage (1hp per second) for 7 min IF at lvl 30 or less
-Health Damage (0.5hp per second) for 7 min IF over lvl 30
-Stamina Regen at -300% for 7 minutes
-modify enemy critical hit chance vs player +20 (addition)...reckless aggression has it's drawbacks



2) Dragonborn Empowered Shout...this only works for Nords.

Basically, every Dragon Soul you absorb (without using up to unlock words) gives a 1% shout cooldown bonus.  So IF you had 100 Dragon Souls available = you would have a 0% Shout Cooldown.

This gives actual meaning to 'absorbing a dragons soul and stealing it's power'!



3) The Following Perks have been adjusted:

Agile Defender 00 = 55% weight reduction for worn Light Armor + Clothing pieces
Juggernaut 00 = 55% weight reduction for ALL worn Armors + Clothing
Quick Reflexes set to 80 Skill requirement
Cushioned Perk (now called 'Padding') gives 3% less stagger per piece AND 3% more armor rating per piece
