Worried that playing support is boring or too easy? In group battles you'll find that targeting your ally becomes a challenge, and if your allies are ever defeated, watch out, you're next! Juggle buffing multiple summons and your henchman and keeping each at full capacity. Manage your magicka so that you can give the ally the boost they need right when they need it!
You may find yourself using spells you used to think were useless, such as Ward, which is now fantastic for supporting an ally in battle.
The goal of this mod is to introduce a very balanced and seamlessly integrated set of spells to enable a viable gameplay experience for support-caster types of all disciplines. Each spell is inspired by a vanilla balance for cost, power and level requirement, referencing the few existing "On Other" spells for guidance. Further, the spells are added to all the appropriate leveled lists, making growth as a support caster a completely organic experience from the very first spell vendor all the way to the College of Winterhold. Your magic skills level up as expected as your allies benefit from your spell effects. We have been keeping a close eye on not overlapping existing effects in the game, so the buffs to skill and health in Illusion have not been replicated in other schools.
As this is the first release of Protector Spells, we are delighted to receive your feedback, especially where balance is concerned, but also for spell mechanics that you feel are missing from Skyrim. The initial release focuses mostly on turning existing mechanics into "On Other" versions, with a few brand-new additions such as "Mend" spells, which heal over time, and Symptom reduction spells (currently only on self) to combat diseases. We intend for future versions of the mod to add brand-new spells that are crafted from the ground-up to expand the support caster's toolbelt, such as the "Explosive Wards" that create shockwaves when they reach their limit and break, "Elemental Wards" that absorb much greater amounts of damage, but only from specific elements, and more!
