Karnaj Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hello, I have been trying to figure out how to mod and script for days and just don't seem to have the knack for it, however I do have an idea for a race or class that I think would be unique and interesting. First a little history on the development of the idea. This first spark of inspiration came from the ability given to the Wood Elves in the Race Balancing Project. They were able to make arrows from bones in their inventory. Sounded like a great idea that fits what I think of for the rugged outdoor elves. Then I saw the SINAZs Aracana Fletcher mod and noticed that he was able to create a bow that would add and arrow for every use of a bow. Basically a bow that would generate its own ammunition. This brings me to my idea. I would like to create a race of elves that has the ability to create it's own ammunition for ANY bow it uses out of their Magicka reserve. Upon drawing the string of a bow the elf is summons the power of his own soul and creates an arrow out of pure energy. The Breakdown.Able to create an arrow for each draw of a bow so that there is no inventory taken (if possible, if not only one arrow in inventory at a time. Although invisible inventory slots would be better for immersion, again if possible.) Creation of the arrow will have a Magicka AND Fatigue cost as it will drain the maker both physically and spiritually. I would like the arrows to level in power as the character levels (example: Iron Arrows equivalent to start, at lvl ?? Steel, lvl ?? Silver, etc etc.) I would also like for the arrows to persist in the world as normal arrows do. Nothing more satisfying as an archer than to see your enemies become pin cushions. If you are able to not make them collectable from corpses that would be good too. Options.I know I said either a race or a class. I left that open because if this is possible at all I don't know which would be easier to develop for. I would prefer the new race of elves. Names, stat allocation, and other bonuses/penalties are left up to whoever is willing to pick this idea up and run with it. I appreciate you all reading this and hope that this is a possible mod and I see it come to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnaj Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Addendum: If anyone does pick this up and is good with texture/meshing, making the arrows appear to be made of mist would be cool too. You know just lighten the edges and make them appear grey/white in color. Something along the lines of the Spirit Wolf in the Wolven Expansion mod. Just another idea I forgot to mention. If someone does pick this up PLEASE send me and pm or drop a line in this thread to let me know it's being worked on. I am VERY excited about this idea, I just can't understand modding and can't seem to find a tutorial/manual that puts modding in to plain English so I can understand.

Karnaj Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Oh I'm a patient man. No need to rush. As far as the looks of the race itself I was actually thinking of a basic Wood Elf skin tone. Some effect in the eyes, like a glow or aura of some kind would be a nice touch. I'm not really looking for a visually different race, just a style. I will leave that ball in your court, feel free to get creative and have fun.
