Apply a perk to all races except the player?

[MisterRADical]

I want to add a perk to all races except for the player. I know you can make a quest for the player but how do I go about it when I want to do it for an entire race? Just saying my scripting knowledge is also pretty basic.

 

If you're wanting to know what I'm doing, I want to increase everyone's damage once the player has reached certain levels.

The effects on Perks can have conditions so you could have a condition that exludes the player.

I would not recommend adding the perk to every Race record as many mods modify individual race records for their own purposes (i.e. lots of mod conflicts)

- But -

A quest alias can be a reference alias collection (such as a list of races), and you can add a perk to a quest alias (via a spell) to automatically add that Perk to every item in that list - no script required.

Quest aliases can be quite complex so there is probably even nicer ways that others will recommend.

A very simple solution would be to update the value of HC_IncomingDamageMult actor value for the player actor when the player reaches certain levels. Unfortunately, editing the base form of a certain actor or race would lead to incompatibilities with a lot of mods.

 

Edit: Unless you want different races to get different damage boost perks.
