All magic stuns about as well when you have the doublecast thing and are using bolts.

That isn't entirely accurate. Enemies later can become resistant to the doublecast stun.

Believe it or not! the 2 points into damage (the 10-20% damage) allows you to maintain stun on pretty much every enemy in the game with few exceptions.

Though as I've said many times... If your not double casting spells your wasting them.

Honestly this whole time I thought the Dragon Priests were Liches.
They are liches though.

nah, they don't have phylacteries, which are a rather important part of lichery in ES

It's not like there's any kind of unread that doesn't have phylacteties in TES, though. Container for your soul? Soul gem.

Goodness I just had such a reflex to go "No it isn't a requirement" until I saw the "in ES"

Could the masks be their phylactories? Maybe they have a soul gem in the construction somewhere.

Given that their masks are... them (even to the extent that they might be alive)

It is a distinct possibility.

They *are* enchanted, which requires a soul gem, so... yes?

Well, saying the dragon priest masks are enchanted and thus follow the normal rules of enchantment is like saying that there Daedric Artifacts are enchanted and so follow the rules for conventional enchantment. Like, we're talking about a whole new level of power here.


Also: Morokei is most useful mask. I mean Goddamn that +100% magic regen is insane.

I'll concede the point. They're almost like liches, but not quite. I guess they were created by the same process as the rest of the draugr.

Konahrik is the best mask and helmet in the game. It has the highest base armour (24), and when your health hits 10%, it can do one of many effects: completely heal you, flame cloak, or summon a dragon priest. It's also improved with gold ingots, though you'll still need the daedric smithing perk.

Are they like mummies in that they are meant to defend the burial mounds?

Because I swear if they are evil for the sake of having an enemy to fight I'll be pissed...

Their point is to either defend the barrow/sacred dragoncult sites or, in the barrows/temples with actual priests, to feed energy to the dragon priest. There's a book about that bit.
