RacesOfValheim

A comprehensive Valheim mod that allows you to play as different unique races, each offering distinct mechanics, visual transformations, and a deep progression system tailored to your journey in Valheim.

Features

This mod currently introduces 5 custom races:

1. Skeleton

• Stamina-less Combat: Skeletons do not consume stamina and do not use the stamina bar.
• Undead Diet: You cannot eat standard food. Instead, you consume bone fragments directly to gain strength and heal.

2. Skadi

• Ice Affinity: Gain unique resistance and affinity to the cold.

3. Fenrir

• Beast Form: Transform into a powerful wolf-like beast.
• Progression: The beast form evolves as you defeat Valheim's bosses, granting new abilities, cooldown reductions, and power scaling. Immune to fall damage in beast form.

4. Cultist

• Fire Mastery: Transform into a Cultist to wield fire abilities.
• Progression: Unlocked capabilities and cooldowns improve as you progress through the game's boss tiers. Immune to fall damage in Cultist form.

5. Aswid

• The Vampire: A creature of the night with powerful life-draining abilities.
• Bat Transformation: Press G to transform into a bat, allowing you to fly over obstacles and travel quickly.
• Blood Magic: Block to channel a life-draining aura that saps the life of enemies in an area around you (doubled radius at night).
• Night Prowler: Your passive speed and jump bonuses double during the night.
• Undead Vigor: Like the skeleton, the Aswid has infinite stamina. You consume the lifeforce of fallen foes directly instead of eating standard food.
