I didn't see a topic for this if anyone has any info would be greatly appreciated. I was wondering if the vampire Lord skills are affteced by the regular perks That I take i am a heavy conjuration using no matter what play through and i thought it would be cool to be able to summon two gargoyles at once while \in VL mode while I will take conjuration regardless if it does afftect VL mode I was considering also some of the other magical fields but i don't want to take something Im not really gonna use if its useless for VL mode
Well, I would assume the answer is yes, since your vampiric skills are affected by the related school skill. And other perks still affect you as a VL, such as Necromage from the restoration tree, which kind of makes you OP.
No, I am almost certain your skills do not affect VL skills. VL is affected by some things about your normal character, but perks and level in a skill I don't believe are one of them.
