THE TWEAKS

Shadowscale power: Makes it easier to blend into the shadows, like the Argonian Shadowscale Assassins of Elder Scrolls lore. Movement is silent, you're nearly invisible (see the cover art) and 30% harder to detect when sneaking (Argonian followers automatically use the power when sneaking). When underwater, you're completely invisible, so swimming doesn't hinder stealth. The power also gives you a potent poison cloak. If you stop sneaking when attacked, you and Argonian followers emit an ominous black mist, poisoning nearby foes 6 points a second (followers use the cloak when health gets low).
Improved Histskin: Argonian followers automatically use the power when health gets critically low.
Hist Assist: You can also call on the power of Hist to reduce the cost of Restoration spells by 20%.
Hist Wisdom: You learn Restoration skills 20% faster. If you have the sign of the Mage Stone, Restoration skills are learned 40% faster.
Sign of the Serpent: Once a day, you can paralyze a target for 5 seconds and poison the target for 5 damage a second. If you have the sign of the Serpent Stone, you can do this twice a day.
Argonian Poison Crafting: You know the secrets of making all poisons 25% stronger.
Argonian Claws: Now Khajiits aren't the only race with claws! Unarmed damage is 4 times more than human fists for you and Argonian followers.
Argonian Scales: Tougher than the skin, the reptilian scales add 10 to the overall armor rating for you and Argonian followers, even if you're wearing no armor.
Underwater Night Vision: Makes it easier to see the hidden treasure and alchemy ingredients in murky waters. Lesser power can be activated any time you're swimming.
Water Breathing: Same as in the unmodified game.
Poison Resistance: Now %60.
Starting Health and Skill Boosts: New player characters get +30 Health; +15 Restoration; +10 Sneak; +5 Destruction, Light Armor, Lockpicking, and pickpocketing. Total skill bonuses are now +45.

COMPATIBILITY AND DISABLING

IMPORTANT: Before disabling, it's a good idea to have your character sleep in a bed for at least 4 game hours and save your game to ensure there's no combat and the effects of the new powers are inactive. After disabling, load the save you made. This mod is fully compatible with other ART! mods that change other races, but not with ART! Ebonheart. Mods adding new characters should also be compatible, as this mod changes only the Argonian race, and the race's powers and abilities.

SUPPORT FOR THE VICTIMS OF UKRAINE

100% of the DP points for all of our mods go to support the Ukrainian families who are victims of Russia's war against their country. Many thanks to Nexus for providing this opportunity to assist them.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

Did you know we spend more time playing the game without mods than we do making them? We do this to help ensure each mod works as expected, and glitches are fixed before they're released. But no one is perfect! If you think you've found a glitch, please let us know.
