Increased Enemy Poison Durations

This mod increases the duration and decreasing the damage per second of poison attacks from enemies and traps. This makes poisons more similar to some old-school RPGs, in which a poisoned player will stay poisoned until using an appropriate item or ability. Save those poison curing potions, because they will be much more important.


Here is a summary of the changes...

Each posoin damage causing spell and weapon enchantment used by enemies has had its magnitued and duration edited.

Magnitude: Magnitude is set equal to equal the level of the spell. For example, TrapDartPoisonWeapEnch03 does 3 damage to health per second, and TrapDartPoisonWeapEnch05 does 5 damage to health per second.

Duration: Durations have been set to either the level of the spell x30 sec or the level of the spell x60 sec depending on the poison source. For example, spit poison attacks and gas trap poisons have shorter duration than bite or dart trap poisons.

Magnitude of poison gas trap effects have not been changed, but their durations have been doubled. I made them an exception because most poison gas likely does not continue to harm a person long after exposure has ended (Sort of talking out of my ass here. Mostly I just wanted variation in poison effects).

v.1.3 (Revision 5)
Basic damage heal poisons (ones that can be found, not crafted) also have increased duration with reduced magnitude. Also, some higher powered enemy poisons have had their magnitude reduced (from already modified values), since they can be overpowered when stacked.

v.1.2
I have removed the additional "damage health regeneration" effect which was added with v1.1. I found it to be overpowering and obtrusive in the UI when applied multiple times.

v 1.1
Each poison attack from creatures or traps now inflicts an addition effect that reduces health regeneration 100%. Therefore, your character basically has no health regeneration for a significant duration after being poisoned. This effect is typically lasts 3x as long as the base damage effect of the poison. For example, a poison that damages health for 60 seconds, will now also reduce health regeneration for 180 seconds.
