Enchanted Arrows for Characters

Description
In the wood elf 8th edition army book, Lords and Heroes equipped with bows had access to 6 different enchanted arrows, none of which are available to them in the base game. This mod allows Glade Captains and Glade Lords to take the three base game enchanted arrows (Hagbane, Swiftshiver and Starfire) if they spend skill points in the appropriate skill. Furthermore it brings in the three missing arrow types (Trueflight, Moonfire and Arcane Bodkins) which also can be gained by spending skill points in the appropriate skill. The first skill level can be taken as soon as a skill point is gained and grants Moonfire and Trueflight arrows, the second skill level can be taken at level 5 and grants Hagbane and Starfire arrows and the third skill point can be taken at level 10 and grants Arcane Bodkins and Swiftshiver arrows. All of the enchanted arrows are represented as followers. Of note is that they don't apply effects to the characters weapons but replace them with different ones. This means that equipping multiple enchanted arrows to a single character does nothing. Since the AI is unable to handle the use of enchanted arrows, I have made it so that the AI will never take the skill that grants enchanted arrows.

All Arrows
  • Increases AP missile damage of Glade Lords and Waystalkers to 122.
  • Decreases base missile damage of Glade Lords and Waystalkers to 158.
  • Increases AP missile damage of Glade Captains to 96.
  • Decreases base missile damage of Glade Captains to 118.
  • This is overall a buff as base missile damage gets replaced with AP missile damage which means more damage except against zero armor targets (which just have equal damage inflicted).
  • The above list does not apply to Swiftshiver Shards and Arcane Bodkins.

Moonfire Shots
  • Shots become Flaming.
  • Shots apply the Moonfire custom contact effect.
  • Moonfire inflicts -30 Accuracy to enemies struck.
  • Moonfire inflicts -20% Range to enemies struck.
  • Moonfire inflicts +20% Reload time to enemies struck.
  • Moonfire inflicts -90% Detection Range to enemies struck.

Trueflight Arrows
  • Shots are more accurate and will home more than typical Glade Lord, Waystalker and Glade Captain arrows.
  • Infinite tree grace period.
  • +22 Range.

Hagbane Tips
  • Shots apply the Poisoned! contact effect.

Starfire Shots
  • Shots become Flaming.
  • Shots apply the Burnt contact effect.

Arcane Bodkins
  • All missile damage becomes AP.
  • Missile Strength becomes 237 for Glade Lords and Waystalkers.
  • Missile Strength becomes 184 for Glade Captains.

Swiftshiver Shards
  • Decreases base missile damage for Glade Lords and Waystalkers to 145.

  • -50 Range
  • Shoots 2 arrows per volley.

Complementary Mod

This is the mod that inspired me to make the mod you're looking at since his doesn't have the same system for characters. While neither of these mods require the other, I think they are great complements for each other.

Alternative Waystalkers
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2739853912
A submod for this one and Female Waystalkers, allowing the Female Waystalker added to take Enchanted Arrows and changes the Waystalker Enchanted Arrows to match the mods changes.

@Autumnchain Alright. Hi-ho, hi-ho, a modding I will (have to) go *whistles away* Thanks for your time and, again, for your mod!

@Dozer There's a submod for the alternative Waystalkers but not a SFO version.
Dozer 27 Feb, 2022 @ 11:30am 
@Autumnchain, is there a SFO version for this awesome mod of yours AND for the Alt Waystalker (females) as well... that you know of? Lastly, thank you very much for sharing your work with the community!

@HereticKannon Sorry it took so long. I was having computer issues.

For reference, here is a comparison between the two Waystalkers' skill trees with both mods running.

The male has the arrows but the female does not. The skills added by the female waystalkers mod are present for both of them and the only other custom skill present is the skill point dump from the skill point mod I'm using https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1660538458 in case anyone is looking for a good x2 skill points mod, this works on just about every modded hero/lord available right now and works even though I'm not using sfo at the moment.

This is a great mod, I'm enjoying the variety of arrows added. More choice is always welcome and I feel like Waystalkers needed something after the Talon of Kurnos nerf. Would you consider making your mod compatible with this Waystalker mod that adds in a female variant?

I quite like the variety it adds along with new skills, but your arrow skill doesn't show up for the female variant of the Waystalker so they don't have access to them. Recently I hardly used Waystalkers in my armies, at least before I found this mod and the female variant one I mentioned above. Either way, thanks for putting in the time and work to make this mod.

Would be interesting to see this but redone for HE factions, the blandness of lords and units in this game bothers me deeply!
