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.

Incompatibility:
=================

This mod should be compatible with everything. The only thing that would cause an incompatibility is another mod that edits the same cell that this mod does (-35,-7), but I am not aware of any that do.

Licensing/Legal:
=================

You must contact me and obtain my permission before re-packaging any part of this mod. Almost all of the resources used in this mod are created by others, so check with their authors before using the resources used in this mod.

This is a reall good idea - that I will not use because Alchemy is integral to my character (probably because I am a chemist in real life). But grats on finding an needed mod niche and filling it.
