Does the Bloodskal Blade have any leveled variations?

You know how the game secretly has five different versions of some weapons (The Pale Blade from the quest The Pale Lady for example,) that have scaled stats based on your level, so in order to avoid getting a powered-down version forever and get only the most powerful version, you have to defer starting the quest until you're the right level?

Just want to make sure the Bloodskal Blade from the Dragonborn DLC doesn't do that. I've been thinking of starting a new playthrough with a focus on two-handed greatswords, with the endgame goal being to have and use the Bloodskal Blade.

when in doubt and you don't feel like firing up CK to look yourself, go to the trusted source:

correct, no levelist variants. Because no one uses it once they use it for what it's for. You can always throw it on a grinding wheel if you have leveled smithing enough to unlock improving magic weapons, so not that important, and if you really love that red beam thing, you can apply it to any weapon with whatever enchants, see https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/jvkmw8/i_found_a_way_to_apply_the_bloodskal_blade_effect/

level only changes the projectile i think, you only get the DLC2BloodskalBlade item no matter the level of your toon.

The UESP wiki makes no mention of any leveled versions of the blade. The only thing that seems to change is the extra damage the sword does to Zahkriisos.

Oh wow I knew it could be upgraded and figured I'd use that to make it viable, but I had no idea the red energy beam ranged attack could be applied to other swords. Hmm, gives me an idea. And yes, I was planning to have it as my main weapon because it's the only greatsword that has a ranged attack and that sounded fun to play with.

It certainly can be fun to play with... and by "play with" I mean edit the thing and make your own micro-mod, let's call it usernames_2hswords.esl...

don't forget the CK is right there, just install it... you can "fix" it or make your own leveled list if you want to bother... it's actually a fairly involved weapon definition, like 8 parts, you got the blade, the glow effect, the 3 projectiles, each powered by an auto-cast enchantment, and 3 bits of papyrus scriptlets to make it so you don't have to refill it with soulgems to "cast" the spells when you swing.... a great item to learn how all that stuff is connected and utilized, actually! The blade also has a cant_enchant flag on it, I'm guessing if you removed that and head to the enchant table...

I use it, mainly cause it's an effective tool for level 1 challenges. The blade beam doesn't level up 2 handed, just make sure the sword itself doesn't hit anything. Combo'd with veggie soup is quite effective.
