Version 1.4

- Changed the visuals of Frost's slow cloak spell, from now on Frost will temporarily transform into Hypothermia and will encase enemies in ice which "slows" their retreat whenever they are at low health.

- [Main]
-
Version 1.3
- [Main]
- Added more details to Frost's textures.

- [Main]
-
Version 1.2
- [Main]
- Edited the default chilly aura on Frost to be thicker and appear colder. It will leave a more noticeable and persistent trail of cold in Frost's wake.
- Edited the Frost Cloak spell to appear more intense and colder.
- Increased the flat speed bonus for Frost from 25% in the last update to 50%.
- Edited Frost's combat style, he will now stand his ground more often if enemies attack him.
- Edited the effects shader for the Hoarfrost state, snow will accumulate on Frost's skin when it snows and he will look a bit more intense.
- Added a 100% bonus to disease and poison resistance.
- Removed the stamina combat regen from the prior update.
- Granted Frost complete immunity to fall damage.
- Added damage reflection to Frost, he will now reflect 50% of the damage dealt to him but only during combat. The chance for this damage reflection will randomly fluctuate between 0% and 100%.
- Added spell absorption to Frost, he will now have 50% spell absorption but only during combat. The chance for this spell absorption will randomly fluctuate between 0% and 100%. The purpose of this bonus is to help Frost scale better with combat and difficulty mods as well as higher level playthroughs.
- Added a flat 1000 point magicka bonus that will be in effect at all times and a bonus of 0.5 point magicka regen.
- Reduced the flat stamina bonus in the prior update from 1000 points to 700 points for better balancing.
- Shuffled around some of the magic effects to different spells and renamed a few of the records for better consistency with the naming conventions that the developers used.
- Created a new state or "transformation" for Frost, the "Hypothermia" state, Frost enters this state whenever it rains. This feature will be compatible with all weather mods and any world space that has regions that rain. Ice will begin to form on Frost's body in this state as a visual confirmation. Please note, Frost needs to be your last ridden mount for this feature to work; if you ride another horse this feature will be temporarily disabled, until you ride Frost again. This feature is script-free.
- In the Hypothermia state Frost gains a speed bonus of 12.5% (increasing Frost's net speed bonus to 62.5%), with a 1000 point stamina bonus. A speed boost was applied instead of a speed debuff because of the drop in temperature (that will be considered a net positive for Frost) and a speed boost will benefit those who use mods like Frostfall a lot more. The bonus stamina makes it possible for Frost to sprint for extended periods of time which further "increases" his speed. On an interesting side note, Hypothermia can benefit from the rain that falls during the Storm Call shout, giving players the opportunity to strategically boost Frost's speed in-game and at any time via that shout (of course please use the shout with caution because it does friendly fire). The point in all of this is to provide a more immersive way to add these bonuses.
- Edited the Hoarfrost state, Frost will now run at a speed bonus of 25% whenever it snows (increasing Frost's net speed bonus to 75%), while Frost's magicka reserves is increased by 1000 points. The speed buff will come as a boon to those who use mods like Frostfall and need to get out of the cold as soon as possible, while the magicka boost will grant Frost the ability to cast more "spells". On a side note, the damage reflection that was added in the first update was removed and made permanent but at half the magnitude.
- Hypothermia will grant Frost the ability to ignore 50% of incoming physical damage and a 50% bonus to physical damage. It will also reduce the chance for Frost to get staggered by 50%, while increase the chance for Frost's strikes to stagger opponents by 50%. Thus making Frost transform into a strength archetype while in this state.
- Hoarfrost will now gain a 50% increase to both spell damage and spell duration, while gaining a 50% reduction of the magnitudes and duration of incoming hostile spells. Please note that incoming fire and healing spells will remain unaffected. Thus making Frost transform into a magic archetype while in this state.
- Created a slow debuff ability for Frost that temporarily slows enemies down by 50%, a debuff similar in magnitude to the one that the death hounds use. Frost will use this specifically against fleeing enemies with low health to slow down their retreat. Visually Frost's slow cloak's colour will change into a foreboding pale greenish hue as he cast the "spell" to slow the enemy down.
- At level 100, Frost will now have about 2000 health points, 1000 magicka points and 1000 stamina points. Hypothermia temporarily ups the stamina to 2000 points, while Hoarfrost temporarily ups the magicka to 2000 points. Hoarfrost runs 75% faster, while Hypothermia runs 62.5% faster than vanilla Frost. Hypothermia gains a bonus 50% physical damage, 50% chance to both deal and ignore staggers and 50% bonus to ignore physical damage, while Hoarfrost gains a 50% bonus to spell damage and duration and ignores 50% spell damage from incoming spells and reduces the duration on said hostile spells by 50% (fire and healing spells won't be ignored). The changes will make Frost scale better with various mods enabled, however, fire will always remain the bane of his existence.
[Immersive Horses Patch]
- Carried forward the changes to Frost's Identity papers made by Immersive Horses over to the patch.
- Added Frost to the PotentialFollowerFaction like Immersive Horses.
- Added the three packages that Immersive Horses uses to allow Frost to wait and follow the player. Removed the vanilla package that keeps Frost perpetually in place.
- [Main]
-
Version 1.1
- - Increased the intensity of the blue glow for Frost's eyes
- Gave Frost the ability to walk on water to better reflect his new magical nature. Water walking is slightly tricky though, one will have to maintain the camera angle slightly upwards to walk on water (like players needing to move their camera upwards to surface after diving) - it can be shaky at times but it just works
- Set Frost from protected to essential status as an added measure to ensure that the player doesn't accidentally kill Frost
- Gave Frost the quiet casting perk to silently activate his abilities/spells
- Made Frost's frost cloak visible during combat and will remain at 10 points of damage like other vanilla cloaks. (Active)
- Gave Frost a bonus of 1000 armor rating to help him reach the armor cap. While that amount might be excessive the primary goal is to improve his survivability if any combat mod is installed.
- Added a flat bonus 500 points of health to Frost as insurance in the event that players use mods that sharply increase difficulty to the point where it would be almost mandatory to give him more health to compensate. Even if you don't use such mods, the additional health for Frost won't feel like a cheat seeing that Frost is already set as essential. (Passive)
- Added a flat 1000 points to stamina to extend Frost's sprint duration - the first step in a fair compromise for those who want a faster than vanilla horse and those who prefer keeping the vanilla running speed. (Passive)
- Added a bonus of 5 points unarmored damage to Frost, the vanilla Horse race have 10 points unarmored damage. (Passive)
- Added a bonus 0.5 point health regen and 5 points stamina regen to Frost. As a point of reference, members of the Horse Race get 1 point health regen and 10 points stamina regen. The bonus stamina regen is the second step in making Frost "faster" by reducing the downtime between sprints. (Passive)
- Added a bonus of 0.25x health regen to Frost while in combat, Horses as a race get 0.5x health regen while in combat. In addition to this a stamina regen will be applied for combat using the same 1:10 ratio used by vanilla. (Passive)
- Added a 25% bonus to Frost's speed - the third step in a fair compromise for those who want a faster horse and those who want things stick closer to vanilla. (Passive)
- Created a new state or "transformation" for Frost, the "Hoarfrost" state. Frost enters this state whenever it snows. This feature will be compatible with all weather mods and any world space that has snowy regions. He will have a white glow in this state as a visual confirmation. Please note, Frost needs to be your last ridden mount for this feature to work; if you ride another horse this feature will be disabled temporarily, until you ride Frost again. Also this feature was done completely without scripts.
- While in the Hoarfrost state Frost will reflect 100% of the damage dealt to him. The chance for this damage reflection will randomly fluctuate between 0% and 100%. (Passive)
- Increased Frost's weakness to fire from 33% to 100% - as a simple penalty (for now) to counter all of the new bonuses that were given to Frost including his new and improved form.
- - Increased the intensity of the blue glow for Frost's eyes
