LE Become a Hagraven, as part of a forsworn quest line

[Morbox]

Had an idea that could be interesting for a quest mod: A mod that makes you a hagraven, which would make fighting with your "fists" awesome and give you some interesting ritualistic/magic options. You could have a spell that makes you look like a beautiful young women, but kills all your combat capability, kind of like this one lich mod for oblivion (I'm too lazy to search, sorry). One could make this part of a forsworn-questline and give you a way to opt out if you don't like it anymore (perhaps by sacrificing a Werewolf's head, ;-) ). You could have unnatural rituals increasing your life or mana permanently (but requiring some rare stuff added by the mod and, of course, innocent humans...). Or another one, where you create your own corrupted spriggan from a load of taproots. I think altar magic with these, where your coven helps you in these rituals. It could increase your spellpower. Drawbacks are, of course, that cities become an issue (more so than for vampires) and perhaps that you can't have any followers (they'll attack, as soon as you become some evil witch thing again). Also your maiden form could be slightly unstable. You could have a spell to lure people when in maiden form, also giving you some interesting combat abilities. Perhaps make the maiden siren-like, so you can lure stupid bandits to their doom (a room that you have prepared with some ingenious trap). A new spell could be the ability to corrupt animals and make them some form of slowly-dying companion. I would also propose a flying spell, but these stupid town-cells piss me off. Why do towns have to be extra cells? Villages aren't! It would be cool to be able to fly into cities unseen! A problem would have course be that hagravens are all female...but there may be a solution in making you a "special case", a forsworn 'saviour', which would also explain some extra capabilities and your quick succession in rank. I think a special hagraven model in male and female form might be nice - no one wants to look like some generic Skyrim monster...

Well, that's about it. Any ideas, comments, etc? Someone willing to get in on this thing? I'm unfortunately not very capable with editors, etc., though I've done simple stuff in Morrowind and Oblivion. But I'm willing to learn, if someone shows me the ropes of scripting or modeling ;). I think this could be pretty awesome.

I was thinking this! I really need to find a mod!

For the male variant you would become a Briarheart I think. That would be really cool. For either transformation you would have to collect certain items, like birds' feathers or a briar heart, and perform a special ritual with the hagravens. This honour would probably be granted only after serving the interests of the Forsworn in a new quest line. This would also make other hagravens, except perhaps a feral variant, non hostile. Although there could be different opposed covens that hate each other.

 

You would get a couple of unique spells and the option to transform back and forth as a female. As a male you would gain new combat bonuses and some kind of new power stemming from the briar heart - something linked with the old gods of the Reach - but you would be stuck as a Briarheart, with some negative side effect, unless you get the hagravens to turn you human again. The Briarheart could be compatible with vampires etc., but the Hagraven transformation would be mutually exclusive with all others.

or for a male variant, you could o through annother ritual to become a female first
