Hello,

I've been compiling a list of Perks and Items that will make your Werewolf and Vampire lord more resilient and powerful. Post what you think would be good additions and I'll add them.

***This list is just thing/perks/items that will make you more powerful in Werewolf/Vampire Lord form only, not for when you are in normal form (even though they will probably help) ***

***No racial/race benefits/powers will be listed, as they have no effect while transformed. (correct me if I'm wrong?)***
***No Stones will be listed either (players choice)***


Werewolf:

------PERKS:

-------------Alchemy:
Alchemist (stronger potions with effects that will last even when transformed)
Benefactor (stronger potions with effects that will last even when transformed)
Snakeblood. %50 resist poison when in werewolf form

-------------Stealth
Stealth: (from what I've read, it will actually make you more stealthy when in werewolf form
Lightfoot (won't set off traps etc in werewolf form)
Silence (I heard this also helps you with stealth in werewolf form)

-------------Restoration:
Avoid death (will heal you for 250 health in werewolf form)

-------------Alteration:
Mage Armor: Casting Flesh spells (Ebonyflesh) (just before transforming) will be stronger during werewolf form.
Stability: Casting protection spells (just before transforming) will last longer during werewolf form.
Magic Resistance: Helps resist magic in werewolf form.
Stability: Longer spell length like Ebonyflesh (cast just before you transform)

-------------Werewolf perks:
Obviously All actual werewolf perks taken.

-----ITEMS:

Hircine's Ring: is a powerful ring that grants unlimited werewolf transformations, assuming that the Dragonborn is already a werewolf.





Vampire Lord:


------PERKS:

-------------Alchemy:
Alchemist (stronger potions with effects that will last even when transformed)
Benefactor (stronger potions with effects that will last even when transformed)

-------------Stealth
Stealth: (from what I've read, it will actually make you more stealthy when in VL form
Lightfoot (won't set off traps etc in VL form)
Silence (I heard this also helps you with stealth in VL form)

-------------Restoration:
Avoid death (will heal you for 250 health in VL form)
Respite (restores stamina when casting Drain Life on a target in VL form)

-------------Alteration:
Mage Armor: Casting Flesh spells (Ebonyflesh) (just before transforming) will be stronger during VL form.
Stability: Casting protection spells (just before transforming) will last longer during VL form.
Magic Resistance: Helps resist magic in VL form.

-------------Vampire Lord perks:

-----ITEMS:

Amulet of Bats
Amulet of the Gargoyle
Ring of Beast
Ring of Erudite
Activating the Bloodstone Chalice (temporarily upgrades the Drain Life spell to drain magicka and stamina in addition to health )

You've got Stability listed twice under Alteration for the Werewolf form - do you mean Dualcasting?

Actually, same question for Vampire Lord form.

I've been playing around with an alchemist who's also a werewolf (my version of Jekyll/Hyde), and I'd love to hear any more additions to the above. Just for the record, potions that have an effect in Beast Form include this rather short list:

Fortify Health (checked this)
Resist Magic (no way to really check this, but it seems to work)
Resist Fire/Frost/Shock would I believe also work

Breton's Dragonhide power (in Beastform, attacking a group of witches once I noticed I was taking *very* little damage from Fireball spells, etc. I had just activated Dragonhide before shifting, as well as gulping some Resist Magic/Fire/Frost/Shock potions, and having a rank in Resist Magic from the Alteration tree.)

The Breton's racial passive Resist Magic probably doesn't work, as when you shift your race turns to Werewolf.

I have read that passive effects from stones *do* work, though. If so, the useful ones would include Atronach, Lord... and that's all I can think of.
