Description:

=================

This mod allows you to create player-made, custom potions without using your character's alchemy skill at all. This mod is meant for roleplayers who do not want custom potions, but don't want their character to use their alchemy skill. I got the inspiration for this mod while playing a pure warrior character and realizing how different the game is without the ability to make your own potions. The potions that you find in ruins or the ones you can buy are not nearly as powerful or interesting as the ones you can make. But, since I was roleplaying a warrior, I refused to touch Alchemy at all. And so I decided to make this mod.

This mod adds a vendor just to the right of the Kvatch Encampment that you can fund and hire. The vendor then lets you create player-made potions, but without using or increasing your alchemy skill. You will then need to buy the potions that you created from the vender. Thus, you have a roleplay-friendly way to create custom strength potions.

=================

Details:

=================

The vendor is located just to the right of the Kvatch Encampment, in a small valley at the base of the Kvatch Cliffs.

After hiring the vendor, he will set up an Alchemist shop. In this shop, there is a request form that, when activated, will let you make potions using the default alchemy menu. When you are done creating potions, they will be transfered to the inventory of the vendor, from whom you can buy them.

The strength of the potions is based on the skill of the vender. You can increase the power of the potions you make by this method by increasing the vender's skill, and the level of apparatus he uses. Both of these factors are increasable via a dialogue option.

One would almost hope that this would be COBL compliant so you could make potions from any ingredient from your modlist.

This is definitely compatible with COBL, and any ingredient you get from COBL can be used to make potions using this system. What this basically does is allow you to access the default alchemy menu and create potions the default way, it just won't increase your alchemy skill and you will have to buy the potions you make from the shop keeper. So you can use any ingredients added from any mods

Congrats on the RELz.

I like this mod, it's a good idea, and a very clever implementation.
