Stronger Atronach and Dremora Summons

This mod increases the power of the various atronachs and the dremora lord that the player can summon. This is achieved by increasing the base level by 10 of each appropriate creature. This does not affect versions specifically listed as NPC summons, nor the basic creatures placed in encounters and dungeons.

This mod is created for my personal use, and uploaded for anyone else who might be interested. As with all mods, general modding saftey practices such as using a separate save file are recommended. The Creation Kit is not officially supported by Bethesda, and even simple mods sometimes just don't seem to work as intended.

I made this mod because I felt that I wanted a conjurer character that wasn't a necromancer. Necromancy, as portrayed in the game, is essentially enslaving the victim for a brief time to fight along side you. I just didn't want to play that kind of character, though. On the other hand, in order to make up for the need for dead bodies, the game designers made the zombie line of spells more powerful than the conjured atronachs. So, strategically speaking, it is superior to use zombies when bodies of decently powerful creatures are available, and atronachs when there are no such bodies around.

Because I am forgoing necromancy entirely, a creation of simple mod (maybe 10 minutes of modding really) allows me to have a sufficiently strong atronach summons. Because at level 100 conjuration I expect to use the Dremora, I also increased their power as well. This does, however, unbalance conjuration in favor of atronachs over undead, as well as increasing the overall power of summoning spells. Thus, this mod has been tagged as a "cheat" so that anyone who feels that any increase in power is unbalancing the game is forewarned.

I do not take mod requests, as I have very little time to do so. If I did have time, I'd love to make some sort of story-line or dungeon, but there's just too many important tasks for me to get done. If the mod doesn't work, though, let me know. Please keep in mind it might not be an error on my side, but if it's within my power to fix, I will attempt to do so. Sometimes mods are inexplicably incompatable with each other. Sometimes Bethesda just doesn't fix bugs within the creation kit. Usually, though, a simple mod like this works very well.
