[REQ] Simple Tougher Dragons Mod (SPID)

[melvinius]

Hi all,

This particular mod is probably something I could figure out how to do, but the Creation Kit is giving me fits right now.

 

I'd like to see a mod that adds a couple perks to all dragons.  Firstly, I'd like to see a perk that buffs dragon health across the board by 100HP per dragon level.  Yes, that's a lot I know.  Secondly, I'd like to see a 20%-40% spell absorption spell on all dragons.  Yes, that's crazy I know.

I'm leaning towards 20% spell absorb but not sure what the actual optimal amount would be.  Here's my thinking: dragons use their magicka pool for shouts and I want them to shout more often against "cheaty" characters with a lot of magicka/special abilities/etc.  So the absorb percentage ideally should be pretty high but also low enough that shock spells can still effectively drain the dragon's magicka if the clever spellcaster want to use that approach.  I have no idea how to calculate this.

SPID would be the optimal way to distribute the perks in a compatibility-friendly way to all dragons, something like this:

Perk = 0x800~NoDragonHealthRegen.esp|ActorTypeDragon

(Using mod No Dragon Health Regen's SPID file as example, though obviously that mod does the opposite of what I want and nerfs dragons)

Anyways, many thanks to anyone who decides to tackle this.  Dragon combat at high levels just isn't as dire as it should be.

Cheers,

Mel
