Vampire Hunter - Slayer Edition
Description
__________________
You lived a good portion of your life as a powerful Vampire that mortal men feared, but whether it was the longing for all the luxuries of the living, or the contempt for your undead brethren, you sought out a cure to return to your former self. Fate, however, amusingly intervened causing a mutation to manifest in the cure. The multiplicity of the vampire powers remained, changing you into the living embodiment of something new, something powerful, something those in the darkness now fear....a Vampire Hunter.
Preface
_________________
I would like to start by saying this mod is based off of 'Vampire Hunter' by DanAngelus and all credit should go to him, so please endorse his mod.
I found a few issues with his mod, including some of the applied vampire hunter abilities/skills being applied via spells instead of abilities, and as such, they didn't even work in my play-through. I also wanted the Vampire Hunter's abilities to kind of match the vanilla vampire when they were most powerful. Lastly, the original mod was dirty, and included a lot of unnecessary scripts. I have made my own adjustments and cleaned the mod, but all the hard work goes to him for his original creation and inspiration.
Out Of The Box
_________________
In your play-through, you must become a vampire. If using a vampire mod, it is best to use a more simplified vampire mod/system. Simple reverse vampire mods are fine. Be warned, any mod that has its own cure, potion especially, or become a vampire multiple times, or any vamp mod with a lot of scripting (Unholy Darkness/Vampire Revolution/LTD-Vampire) will probably not work with this mod.
You then must cure yourself, using the vanilla vampirism cure quest or anything that will get you a vanilla vampire cure potion, even if it is the console command. Once you drink the potion, you will become human again and consequently, you should see the new Vampire Hunter abilities/skills/resistances/weakness/spell applied. Go forth and lay waste to evil!
A Vampire Hunter's Life
__________________
You have a keen hatred of vampires now, and they feel the same. The system automatically makes you an enemy of all vampires.
VH Abilities/Skills/Resistances/Spell;
Skills: Acrobatics (20) / Athletics (20) / Hand To Hand (20) / Illusion (20) / Sneak (20) / Mysticism (20) / Destruction (20)
Attributes: Speed (20) / Willpower (20) / Strength (20)
Resistances: Resist Disease (100) / Resist Normal Weapons (20) / Resist Paralysis (100)
Spell: Vampire Hunter Instinct (Mysticism (50)) - acute sense of what life is around in 100 feet radius for 45 sec.
Abilities: Gains permanent Water Breathing ability. The hunter's lungs hold a residual vampire trait that allows him to stop breathing under water where vampires like to hide during daylight.
Weakness: Fire weakness (25), as it seems a bit of the vampire's weakness to fire carried over during the transformation.
Installation
___________________
You can use a mod manager or place the .esp file into your game's 'Data' folder and activate. Use Loot to order the mod.
Uninstalling
___________________
See notes below on how to properly remove the VH abilities from your player if you want to continue on as a normal human or return to vampirism. Else, with new games, just deactivate the mod in your mod manager, and remove the .esp mod file.
Returning to Vampirism A Second Time or More
___________________
The original creator of the mod either meant for the player to remain a Vampire Hunter for the remainder of the game, and/or did not build out a system that removed the VH's abilities if bitten a second time. In fact, if bitten or obtaining the disease again, I don't think it will transform you. Role play that you are now resistant to Porphyric Hemophilia as a Vampire Hunter.
If you want to return to being a vampire, it gets messy, but doable. You will have to use the command console and Tes4edit. I am no coder, so if someone would like to add this removal ability, please contact me. This should get you there the messy way;
1. This part require you to use Tes4edit because the first two digits of the mod's ID numbers change with each game install, so we must find what it is on your system. Open up Tes4edit and on the left, find this mod listed, and click the plus to expand its inner workings. Open up the 'Spell' section by clicking its plus, and under the 'FormID' column, note the first two numbers of the 8 digit codes. This is what you want, now close out of Tes4edit.
2. Open the command console in game (the ~ key) and type the following hitting the enter key after each one, and note, the 'XX' needs to be the two digits you obtained in step #1 above.
player.removespell XX000ED3
player.removespell XX000ED4
player.removespell XX000ED7
player.removespell XX000ED9
3. You can choose at this point to uninstall this mod if you never want to be a VH again living out the remainder of your days as a normal human, or continue forward in the next step to become a vampire again. It is highly recommended to do a save, then uninstall this mod, save, load to new save, save again...preferably inside a building.
4. If you want to become a vampire again, turn to your trusty console and type the following, hitting the enter key after each one;
player.setav Vampirism 0
Set PCVampire to 0
Set vampire.hasdisease to 1
player.addspell 0003DB3D
You will then need to feed and/or sleep, and you will be a vampire again with full powers.
Note - Mods that promise multiple Vampirism (ie Vampirism Reinfecting Mod) or modded potions to change into a vamp, will NOT work with this mod/method. You will need to use the console commands listed above.
Recommended Compatible Mods for a Vampire Hunter
____________________
Vampire Hunting - Order of the Virtuous Blood by David Brasher - King of the vampire hunting mods, highly recommend for more quests and more vamp killing.
Mannimarco Revisited by Miltiades - as the notes state, Mannimarco as he should have been.
Verona House Bloodlines by dawson.tom - Champion pitted against a sinister cult, what could go wrong? Note, use the updated version found on afkmods, google it, contains fixes to the original mod on Nexus.
Thieves Guild HQ - Unhealthy Competition Punk Stevo - Continue on after the Thieves Guild story and combat new threats in Cyrodiil using your thieving skills, cunning and stealth.
Slayer Scythe by murfy27 - adds a Buffy The Vampire slayer weapon scythe/axe, unenchanted, to the game.
Apachii Heroes Store by apachii - you will find all your vampire hunting apparel, weapons, accessories and training under one roof here, always a must have in my mod list.
Supreme Magicka Update by Strategy Master - One of favorite magic mods and a less intrusive ones, really well done. Don't forget to also grab Suprime Magica Enchant Unlock mod as well for enchanting needs. I keep the SMU mod at the bottom of my load list. This mod is especially great for Vampire Hunters with spells like;
- Holy fire (Destruction) spell casts a light and fire damage against enemies, great for vampire hunters.
- Changes to the Detect Life (Vampire Hunter Instinct Spell) to color code certain enemies and more.
- Fire spells can cause a very small additional burning damage. And so much more!
Daywalker - A Vampire Saga by kandelai (that's me!!) Shamelessly plugging my own vampire mod, but it works well with this mod, and it is also a simply, light weight vampire system that doesn't conflict with leveling or magic mods, like the more heavily scripted vampire mods.
VMCs Vampire Mod by vcaine - An old but simple, reversed vampire mod system that works really well with this mod. I am going to upload my own version of this mod soon, which includes a slant to day walking vampires, except for the last phase of vampirism. This mod has a lesser sun damage system and a few typo errors in some of the abilities, nothing game breaking. I will fix all that in my version. You also will want to clean their mod, it came up dirty. What is nice are the two added bite spells you can use on NPCs/enemies. Highly recommend, a good light and fun vampire system that will not interfere with my system, just use Loot to order after installing.
