Dragon Soul BOOST

This mod provides bonuses based on how many Dragon Souls a character has and has not used. For these bonuses, it has arbitrarily high limits and is fully configurable in the menu provided in MCM. Inspired by the mod True Dragonborn, I decided to make an "infinite" version that continues to give bonuses indefinitely.

Install:

MOD management

Take the Data folder from the zip file and dump it into the Skyrim Special Edition folder, then enable SoulBoost.esp in the launcher.

Require:

SKSE is required.

For MCM, SkyUI is required, but the mod may work without it (Disclaimer: Not tested)

compatibility:

Should work with anything

Each type of effect gives you a certain amount of boost per number of souls, and you can set both values.

If Boost is set to 0 for a given value, it is disabled.

By default, it provides the following effects:

Shout Recovery (1% per 3 souls)

Carrying capacity (5 per 1 soul)

Enhanced life (5 points per soul)

Fortify Magicka (5 per 1 soul)

Enhance endurance (5 points per soul)

Restore health (1 for every 3 souls)

Restoration Magic (1 for every 3 souls)

Restore stamina (1 for every 3 souls)

Fire Resistance (1% per 2 souls)

Resist Frost (1% per 2 souls)

Earthquake Resistance (1% per 2 souls)

Resist magic (1% per 4 souls)

Resist disease (1% per 3 souls)

Resistance to poison (1% per 1 soul)

This script runs every time you absorb a Dragon Soul, and will also periodically check to see if any Dragon Souls have been lost.

You can configure how often it checks, but the impact of the checks is negligible, so it's a redundant option that I didn't bother removing.

For those curious about how this module works:

Although inspired by True Dragonborn, its methodology does not allow for a fully dynamic system, so I had to write this mod from scratch.

First, I created a series of magic effects for each bonus type, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, etc.

This is because by combining the numbers correctly you can get any value between them (e.g. 70 would give you 64 + 4 + 2).

The benefits are hidden in the UI and I used this method so that after reloading before the script starts running it will still run fine. This way I don't have to run the script as soon as the game loads, but can wait and let other scripts run.

Bonuses do have limits, for example the enhancement stat bonus stopped at around 262,143 as I thought that was enough.

Also, I left the Papyrus source files in the mod so anyone can take a look.
