Witcher Race Mod (feel free to suggest with me)

So whenever I Roleplay as a Witcher I end up using vanilla races because there are no good Witcher race mods out there. So i decided that since im not a major modder and that plently of people like to RP as witchers that I should try and share my thoughts on what would make playing as a witcher be unique. So here are a few of my Suggestions and i hope to hear some of yours

 

 

Change Physical Atrributes.

 

Witchers are physically stronger and faster than your average human/elf and as such one of the things that would add a real sense of uniqueness to the race would be modifying its movement speed jump height and maybe even their weapon attack speed. obviously this might cause balancing issues so maybe you would want to remove the weapon attack speed change, but im just throwing ideas around. Alternatively you could give the witcher a daily power similar to the one that the orc race has that sends them into a blind fury causing them to deal extra damage but instead this time it increases their attack speed.

 

 

Signs and Magical Passives

 

Witchers use a several magical Signs and ive been thinking about ways to implement them so I will list them down below and add my ideas.

 

Igni: This is probably the simplest of the signs as it is based in Fire and there are many ways to use fire in the game. Honestly i think that all that should be done in this area is add a 20% debuff to any ice or shock spells and give the Witcher access the the Flames and Firebolt powers from day one. This would enforce the roleplaying on the witcher causing him to choose only fire magic while not making him overpowered by buffing his powers.

 

Aard: Now this one is tricky as there are no air powers in the game, but there is the unrelenting force shouts. Now ive seen new spells added to the game that copy that affect but they are all extremely overpowered so i would suggest instead of giving the witcher one of those spells you could create a spell that uses the second words affect which would only stun/stagger the enemy. You could alternatively give the character access to the shout and just call it ard 1 ard 2 and ard 3 which would enforce a cool down of the power or you could do both.

 

Axii: This one has to be the hardest, but if you think about it their are many ways to add this to the game. You could give the witcher the ability to use illusion spells causing someone to attack others or become calm, you could give the player a vampires seduction like power where you use the power button and then the person is more likely to give you a good deal at his store, or you could add an extra dialogue option and call it Axii or you could simply raise his ability to persuade people in the first place, the possibilities are endless.

 

Quen: Now with Quen i can think of a few ideas, 1 you have access to a ward that can be raised instantly, 2 you have access to a Stoneflesh like power called quen, or 3 youre given a ward that absorbs damage and heals you for 20% of it... another option would be that your Stoneflesh type powers are buffed.

 

Yrden: This could be utilized through runes where you would stun your opponend or maybe knock him down or simply do damage I'm not entirely sure nor am I that excited about this sign to be honest since ive never used runes in skyrim and I only used Yrden in the Witcher games when the boss required it.

 

 

A few Extra Notes.

 

As one of the most immersive parts of the witcher games has to be the hatred people have for witchers i would love to see there be some... disposition changes so that most people will insult the witcher when they pass him and so people will try and scam the witcher and give them a bad deal at a shop.

 

And if youre looking for a lore friendly way to bring witchers into tamriel (some spoilers for the witcher 3) remember that Ciri can travel between worlds and that geralt did so once without Ciri to bring him along. It is entirely possible that some witchers could have traveled through a portal that lead them to the world of the Elder Scrolls (elder scrolls? elder blood? that give me an idea for a quest mod! if only i was a modder)

 

Anyways this is Cornelius of Cornelius Geekdom and I wish anyone who picks this idea up all the luck in the world! I really hope i inspired some part of your mod.
