Known Issues: I think this is related to the Quest/Combat. If you want to add a vanilla or customized shout to NPCs, we know that Draugr can use some shouts, this may be the reason for not having a voice and using it as a spell. Check Quest VoicePowers/Combat Tab. Also check "VoicePowerVoicesList" for registered voices.
I chose the "Spells" that the player can acquire and thus should have worked out of the box for NPCs. It still works, they just don't always have voices - which I don't mind too much since it's supposed to be nothing more than a difficulty mod after all. But I can take a look at it once I find the time or motivation for it.
I was actually playing with the thought of adding Thunderchild shouts into my SPID a while ago, but decided against it due to balance issues and/or some shouts being too weird with NPCs. But I will take a look at them at some point again, no promise though.
You will need to replace the first NONE with "0x13746" for nords only. I have no intention of doing an upload since I want this to be a difficulty mod and not a pseudo immersive mod. Example: ;Frost Breath Before: Shout = 0x5D16B~Skyrim.esm|ActorTypeNpc|NONE|NONE|NONE|NONE|2 After: Shout = 0x5D16B~Skyrim.esm|ActorTypeNpc|0x13746|NONE|NONE|NONE|2
i'd like this more if it was conditioned to nords only. nords are the only ones who can shout right, except for the dragonborn and others blessed by the gods. but to give every npc of every race a chance to shout.. it just feels off i guess.
Well, It's marked as "not lore friendly" for a reason. ^^ And the main purpose for this mod is to add a bit of an extra challenge and keep gameplay fresh. Restricting shouts to just Nords may be more realistic, but reduces frequency of encounters with shouting enemies and bumping up the chances to combat the lack of shouting chars makes it even more unrealistic.
I don't actually care about lore-- I just want to see/hear more shouts because they're cool and will add difficulty-- but this would make them even more rare and pair nicely with other mods I use enhancing certain races and giving nords some custom armor.
Unrelated to this mod because this mod does what it needs to do right out of the box; but I was hoping I could get some recommendations from people who uses this mod.
Are there any mods to make the followers/allies' shouts not affecting player character/allies? Kaidan just roasted me with his Fire Breath; while FEC camera lets me watch myself burn into crisps, I can see Benor shout back at him and of course one-shotted by Kaidan lol

I'm an idiot so for the very stupid pls.
Example:
;Frost Breath
Before: Shout = 0x5D16B~Skyrim.esm|ActorTypeNpc|NONE|NONE|NONE|NONE|2
After: Shout = 0x5D16B~Skyrim.esm|ActorTypeNpc|0x13746|NONE|NONE|NONE|2
Do this with the others as well and you're set!

Here the info from the SPID page itself:
- Chance
Percentage chance that records will be distributed to NPCsValue is from 0.0 -100.0, default chance is 100 if left blank or NONE.
