v1.6.8 — a Skeleton that eats, a bat that stays to fight

Races of Valheim developer

Each Skeleton player can choose to eat and to spend stamina, the Aswid can't take wing in the middle of a fight, the Dvergar build the black marble set with stone, and a faction can fight as a group. None of it was tested in game, so please report what you find.

Skeleton: Mortal Habits​

Two options under Skeleton - Mortal Habits, both off by default, each player picking their own. Eats Mortal Food: you eat like the living, and your health and stamina come from your meals. The boss-tier health bonus goes away, since it stood in for food. Feels Fatigue: you spend stamina; if you don't eat, your stamina grows with your standing. Every other Skeleton power stays. Thanks to Celepito for the request. See Skeleton.

Aswid: no bat mid-fight​

You can't take bat form until 2.5 seconds after you last lost health, from a hit or a tick of fire, poison or bleeding. Turning back is never blocked, and a hit still doesn't knock you out of bat form. Aswid - Bat Form → Combat Lock sets the time; 0 turns it off. See Aswid.

Dvergar: deep-folk builders​

A Dvergar pays 3 stone for each black marble and 2 fine wood for each Yggdrasil wood on building pieces. Stations, furniture, containers and fires keep their cost, and the marble pieces still need a Stonecutter, the Yggdrasil ones a Black Forge. Cheap pieces carry the Dvergar icon in the build menu. Taking one down gives back what was paid for it, so a cheap wall never turns into black marble. Thanks to Wargles for the idea. See Dvergar.

Factions: fighting as a group, and Valheim 1.0's skeletons​

Turn on Factions → Grudge spreads to kin and hitting a creature of your own faction makes every creature of that faction within 20 m (Grudge spread radius) turn on you too, the way vanilla's Dvergr treat a human. Off by default. Thanks to Joacwoo for the idea.

The regional skeletons Valheim 1.0 added (the green swamp ones, the blue mountain ones, those of the Meadows and the Deep North) were missing from the swamp faction and attacked Skeleton, Aswid and Draugh players. They keep the truce now and run the Skeleton's faction shop. Thanks to Joacwoo for the report. See Factions.
