LE Vampire Hunter Weapons

[DanteWrath]

This is a mod I would love to see, either as a stand-alone or as a plugin for one of the great vampirism mods available.

If you begin to read many of the hundreds of different myths behind vampires, there are always weaknesses involved. In fil;ms and on TV, vampire hunters make use of these weakness and form weapons from them.

I was disappointed to see the lack of this in the elder scroll series.

The following weapons are ones I'd love to see in the game, I have waited hoping that someone may add a few of these on their own, but have yet to see anything of the sort.

I would like you to bare in mind while reading these ideas that I am not a modder, nor do I know anything about modding, so I apologise if the ideas I suggest are difficult or impossible to achieve.

 

The first thing I would suggest would be actual weapons designed to do more damage to vampires.

My first and most obvious suggestion would be to add wooden crossbow bolts that would do additional damage to vampires, perhaps even a version for bows as well.

My second suggestion stems back to the old vampire mythologies about them being only able to feed from the living, and that blood from other sources could make them ill.

With that in mind, I think adding a new type of poison, 'Dead Man's Blood', would really spruce up vampire hunting.

The idea would be that you could collect blood from any dead humanoid and apply it to your weapon. The blood would have to have no effect on normal NPCs, but would cause poison damage and intermittent paralysis to vampires.

Expanding on that idea, if infact getting a poison to apply only to certain NPCs is possible, another variation that could be added would be a 'Werewolf's Blood' poison.

This could be gained directly from the player (If a werewolf), alchemy shops, from members of the companions or possibly from wild werewolves (If used in conjunction with a mod that adds them to the game).

Werewolf blood would be much more damaging to vampires, it would cause extreme levels of poison damage (Although would not paralyse as with dead man's blood). If this was being used, for example, along side the great 'Tales of Lycanthropy' mod, the blooded weapons could also possibly be used to infect normal NPC's with Sanies Lupus.

Another, more difficult, vampire fighting 'weapon' I thought would be interesting would be a spell (Or perhaps staff) that would produce 'Sunlight' and damage vampires in the area.

 

And of course, it would also add a new level of gameplay to being a Vampire if the weapons, spells and poisons could also be used by the NPCs.

I don't know if any of these ideas are possible, but I am interested to hear back and find out.

Thanks in advance for any responses.
