About this mod

An overhaul of the dragon Odahviing that makes him more powerful and unique – more shouts, scaling damage, and blue fire effects.

Overview

This mod attempts to improve the summonable dragon Odahviing so he’s more than just a regular fire dragon. And there was also a problem with levelling – once your character levels up and you get harder enemies with more health, his damage just wasn’t enough, especially on legendary difficulty with mods that make combat harder and add more spawns. So, I’ve altered/added the following:
  • Damage scaling – his magic damage is multiplied by 5% of the player’s level (for example, it’ll be double at level 20, and increased by 340% at level 48). This requires SKSE64.
  • Fire Breath – now it’s a gradient of blue/purple shades (similar to what this mod does, but involves different and more hues), and leaves flames on the ground that emit light and hurt enemies. Additionally to regular fire damage, Odahviing’s fire breath deals unspecified (ignoring resistance) damage equal to 8% of the target’s current health (I’m going to add that effect to vanilla fire breath, including the player’s, in a separate mod).
  • Dragon Fireball – this is the attack dragons use when the target is far away; I added the aforementioned unspecified damage to it.
  • Drain Vitality – added absorb health/magicka/stamina effects.
  • Disarm
  • Unrelenting Force
  • Cyclone – slightly better range than the regular one.

I also edited the textures in a very minor way to make the colours more harmonious, and more fitting for the new fire effects. If you want a more significant texture overhaul, there are other mods that do that, just overwrite my files.


Installation

This mod requires SKSE64 to be installed first. If you want to install my mod manually, just unpack the archive into your Skyrim Special Edition/Data folder.


Compatibility

My mod will conflict with anything that changes Odahviing’s actor base, so load it after any dragon overhaul mods. I provided a patch for Deadly Dragons users to pass forward extra dragon abilities from that mod. Any fire attacks from Deadly Dragons have their FX changed to blue (for Odahviing only).
