Bytz Expanded Heroes: The Runesmith (Updated for S&F)
Updated for The Silence And The Fury
This is one of a number of mods that work to give the various heroes from different races a more distinctive feeling and to add a couple more skills for them to unlock.
The Dawi Runesmith has received some much needed love since this mod first came out. So this mod just kinda adds some more runes that either weren’t included in the update, or were done weirdly (looking at you Rune of Flight). The Runesmith gets 11 new skills, including 8 new runes divided into two tiers; 4 are active, and 4 are passive. They do not tie into the new rune magic system (so no need to worry about whether a smaller effect will penalize you in combat) they provide some pretty fun new buff abilities, such as a significant anti-large for the Rune of Dragon Slaying, or a massive speed boost from the Rune of Flight (flying animation not included).
In total with this mod you can spend up to 11 more skill points, and gain a total of 8 new abilities (up to 4 active, the rest passive with a varying level of effects). All the runes included with this are based on runes from the table top, though their effects I had to get creative with so as to avoid overlap.
I’ve tried to keep the numbers relatively normal, but there’s always a good chance that something that sounds balanced in my head is very much not.

There is now a companion mod that replaces the "Runes as Followers" for the Runelord

If you notice anything is functioning a little bit wonky, let me know. If you want to make this compatible with SFO or any other mod feel free to, I just ask that you give me a nod. I don’t know if there’s much to translate, but if you want to translate it, you have my full permission to do so.
