Race: Breaton
Class: Mage
How he works:
1 - Uses Curses, Diseases, and Void Magic to kill enemies -- no weapons unless a certain effect is required.
2 - Skins enemies for their bones.
3 - Animates the bones to fight for him.
4 - Will eventually do the Undeath quest line and gain a Lich transformation, Lich is instead of Vampire or Werewolf. Must take the Dawnguard side during Dawnguard as being a Lich Vampire is buggy as all hell, which one is overwriting the other will flip-flop causing a broken experience.
Required Overhaul:
- Perkus Maximus - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/59849/ for the Bone wing of the Conjuration Tree, as well as the Death Side of Restoration.
- There are plenty of other good overhauls for Necromancy such as REQUIEM combined with Corpse Perpetration, however for the BONELORD there is no better overhaul.
- Also be sure to pick up the "TRUE-Lockpicking" fix on the same page.
- Compatibility Patches - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/59257 look over the list carefully.
- Make sure check Forgotten Magic Redone and ANY others being used.
- If you use the Community Uncapper, having that Uncapper INI checked is REQUIRED.
Required Spells and Powers:
- Forgotten Magic: Redone - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/35339/ The Foundation for all of the starting powers the Bonelord has, this will allow his Void, death, curse, and disease magics to level up with him.
- Make sure to on the Compatibility Patches for PERMA, select the Forgotten Magic checkbox.
- Apocalypse Magic of Skyrim - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/16225/ All kinds of summoning, curses, and other things that you WILL be getting later come from this.
- Make sure to pick up the PERMA Patch on the download page.
Required Adventure Mods:
- Alternate Start - Live Another Life - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9557/ Gives you the "Necromancer" start, which will give you a small playerhome inside BLACKREACH. Recommended you start on a low difficulty until you get out of there.
- Undeath - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40607 This adds hours of Necromancy to your game, including 2 lairs, "The Broker" who is a necromancy vendor for you, and a questline that if done properly will give you the Lich transformation that you will use instead of Vampire Lord or Werewolf.
- If you become a Werewolf or Vampire, transforming back into your "true form" which is the Lich transformation will cure you of these afflictions.
- For that reason you should side with the Dawnguard.
- For that reason if you want to do the Companions, you should do it BEFORE gaining this form.
- Making the "wrong" choices during the questline may prevent you from becoming a Lich.
- Performing the ritual wrong will outright kill you.
- If your playing a good character, this mod is still HIGHLY recommended as you can kill "The Broker", purge the Necromancer's Lairs, and destory the Coven's evil magics once and for all.
