DESCRIPTION

This mod will put a curse to the Dragonborn, and once afflicted it prevent them to do any form of combat as well as affecting their idle. The curse is not curable within conventional means. To make up for it, two lesser powers are bestowed on the Cowardborn to make them not entirely useless in the battlefield. In order to overcome Cowardice, the Cowardborn must press on his journey and embrace his destiny as the Dragonborn.

FAQs
How do I receive the curse?
Upon loading the game, you will be asked whether you believe in Violence is the key to solving Skyrim's problems. Answer NO to get afflicted with the curse.
Alternatively, you may also use the console command to get the Ring of the Coward.

How does Cowardice affect the life of a Dragonborn?
Unsheathing a weapon causes the Cowardborn to drop the weapon. 
Even harnessing Magic would just fizzle from the Cowardborn's hands leaving them unarmed. (Using Scrolls might still work however)
No matter how much the Cowardborn tries to attack, it causes them to fall down on the floor. (You can do quick jabs but they aren't always successful)
Despite that, the Cowardborn still can shout and call on the power of their kind. (Any type of Voice-equipped spells can be casted)

What does the two newly added powers do?
Cheer randomly buffs/supports your allies with one of the following: Healing, Damage, or Ward.
Faint forces your enemies to ignore you but it's not always effective. This is also activated when you are trying to attack.

When/How can I get rid of this curse?

Continue the Main Quest until you reach Sky Haven Temple, A Ring of the Brave can be found in the table OR reach level 20 and receive the blessing of the Divines.

What's the purpose of this mod?
Just for roleplaying purposes. This mod works well if you love being at the backline and supporting your allies just like your fellow harmless NPCs. Enjoy it as you see fit.
