JamesTJ Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Sword breakers were used during the Middle Ages. It is a long and very sturdy dagger with slots on one side to capture a sword blade, then a quick twist of the sword breaker could snap the opponent’s sword blade. Here's a pic. http://www.kultofathena.com/images/HK2087.jpg Is anyone making one for Oblivion? I know we currently can't actually snap off our opponent's blades in Oblivion, but...

LHammonds Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I imagine it would simply use the disintegrate enchantment. Would be best if it were scripted to only work on swords though. Maybe even increase the chance to knock the weapon out of their hand too. ;) LHammonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exanimis Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 It would be awesome if this could be used in place of a shield, with a chance of breaking the opponents sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unavi Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 i like the idea, and started on a model. Here's a pic: no textures and materials, just the model. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little long and thin, it looks more like a sword but that's an excellent model/mesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unavi Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 thank you. :) yeah i noticed that it is to long just when i've uploaded the pic.I'll update tommorow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTJ Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Wow - the mesh looks good! I did a bit more research, and found that these sword breakers were mostly used against narrower swords - rapiers, epees, sabers, duelling swords and other one-handed swords - not claymores. I think it'd be a little difficult to snap off a claymore blade - unless the tempering had gone wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant0 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 It would be awesome if this could be used in place of a shield, with a chance of breaking the opponents sword.Actually, I believe this could be possible with OBSE. Basically, when worn as a shield, or without a shield, detect if the player is blocking. If the player is blocking, detect for a deflected hit (think one of the shield mods has a system for this), on the deflected hit, get the ref of what target is in the crosshair, check to see if this ref has a sword equipped, get that equipped sword's reference, lower its durability slightly, and do whatever else you want to make the effect a bit more complete. Not something I could do since I'm only slightly familiar with OBSE, but believe it's feasable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdarknight Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I'll look into the scripting. The biggest challenge is accurate detection of whose blow you blocked (if being attacked by more than one close range). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
