This is my very first "mod" that I'm releasing to the public(though it's really more of bugfix). I was a bit irritated by the fact that the RedWave reward item never leveled up with your character, making it nothing more then a novelty at higher levels; I believe this was just a simple oversight by Bethesda since the leveled phases ARE there, they're just all identical to level 01. Well This fixes that by simply giving RedWave new stats for each of its leveled item phases, I tested it and seems to work fine(can't really imagine what could go wrong with a simple stat edit anyway). Also, the sword has in no way been made an uber item, the stats increase in a steady and consistent manner.
Installation:
The usual routine, just drop the RedWaveFix.esp into your Oblivion/Data folder and make sure to put a check mark by it in the oblivion launcher(or Wyre Base/OBMM for you more savvy users).
UPDATE 1.1
Thanks to the insight of Sativarg, I now know the importance of adding author/description information to all esp files, so now this fix contains that info. Sorry about the oversight on my part folks!
Also, I tweaked the damage a bit from the previous version, nothing major, here is the breakdown for damage on each leveled phase.
Level 01 - 11 DMG Drain health 15 pts for 6 sec
Level 05 - 13 DMG Drain health 18 pts for 6 sec
Level 10 - 15 DMG Drain health 21 pts for 6 sec
Level 15 - 17 DMG Drain health 23 pts for 6 sec
Level 20 - 20 DMG Drain health 25 pts for 6 sec
Level 25 - 23 DMG Drain health 25 pts for 8 sec
Level 30 - 26 DMG Drain health 28 pts for 8 sec
If anyone feels that this does too much or too little damage, I can always release an alternate version to better suit your fancy.
Also, one other thing about the file. This fix does not actually cause RedWave to level up while it's in your inventory, I'm already aware that the wonderful quest award leveler does this. This merely fixes the fact that the stats on each level of RedWave were all exactly the same. Hope that adds a bit of clarity. Anyway, Enjoy and remember, you are a Pirate!
