RealShaman Mod

[tanakakenshin0]

I tried to find something like this for many 3 days, but failed. Only thing I could find is fur "bikini", wich is nothing common with shamanism...

So, I'm writing my idea here.

 

In minimal format it is a set of items.

Shaman Costume - based on vanilla leather armor with brighter texture, i think, but with som elements of vanilla fur armor (animal tails), different pendants (teeth, little bones), primitive painting (animals, birds. skulls). Sleeves and pants dekorated with feathers and tapes.

Items of Power - granted by spirits, other shamans and gods. Gives powerfull spells wen equiped. Looks like set of dreamcatchers, differents stones (jade, amber - no precious stones) and teeth etc.

Item of Might - filled Dreamcathers. One-use spirit summoning item.

Shaman mask - fur helm or hood with wooden mask of witch doctor. Also, may be added animal masks (wolf, deer, bird, bear etc).

Shaman tamburine - blunt weapon, decorated with primitive painting and feathers. Easy to break (one-two hits), but adds shaman spells while in hands (different lesser spirit summoning, etc).

Shaman ritual knife - animal bone dagger, can harm ghosts, some enchentements (poison)

Shaman bow - based on iron bow mesh, decorated with feathers. Grants lesser combat spells.

Empty Dreamcatcher - little special item, a bit similar to Star of Azurra. Used to create Items of Power by capturing spirits.

 

Also may include some special spells. For example, script spell of summonig ghost creature from soulstones or dreamcatcher.

 

Max format including class, quest... and scripting.

Something like choosing shaman class triggers special quest of becoming the shaman.

1. From the start of the game PC suffers of shaman illnes. Slow health loss, nightmares, maybe - sporatical atacks of some nature spirits. Spirits demands PC to learn the way of shaman.

2. From some sources PC knows of old shaman (some place near the Gnoll mountain, maybe) who can learn him (from clerics, mages or books)

3. PC going to shaman and tals to him, gets from shaman special dream potion. After drinking potion PC teleports two the Netherworld (separated location, looks like foggy forest... or something like KotN's heaven (where PC talked to Pelinal), where he passes the trials, speaks with animal spirits about way of shaman and choose his personal spirit protector (gives permanent bonus to attribures, like Bear Spirit - +10 Endurance, Stag Spirit - +10 Speed etc). PC gets Spirit Sight power (detect life + nightvision for 30sec).

4. After returning (trevel to spirits realm took 3 days), old shaman starts a new line of quests about making of shamans tools.

5. After starting tools set completed (costume, tamburine, mask), player joined to shamans&spirits faction

6. To become more powerfull shaman, PC must find another shamans and spirits and fulfill thir quests. PC will gein Items of Power, renewed costumes and tools, new spells and faction ranks. To achieve max rank, he must gain respect of gods by doing quests for them.

 

According to shamans, their are four worlds: Mortal world, Spirit world, Heavens (where Nine Divines and Ancestral Spirits live) and Underworld (daedra world). To acess spirit world shaman must cast special spell, to achieve Heaven and Underworld he must use special items - shaman ledder (painted and decorated ledder to access Heaven) or shaman boat (painted and decorated log, to access Underworld). Many quests involve such Trevels.

 

Nearely all shaman spells require costume, Items of Power, tamburine. Tamburine for lesser spells (like dispells, curses, banish spells), Items for summoning (combat spells and spirits summonings).

 

If PC have much infamous, he can't visit Heavens safely and will be atacked by shamans, animals and nature spirits on sight. In this case, he can become Lawless Shaman and get respect of dark daedra and gods. Capturing NPC's or animal's souls without permission, undead creating etc gets PC infamous.

 

If shaman is out of animal souls and he don't want to be Infamous, he must ask great spirits about permission for refilling his dreamcathers. If permission granted, great spirit summons requested animal, hostile to PC. If PC wins, he gets the soul for his dreamcatcher.

This is a really good idea back in 2008 i really wanted to make a shaman as i was addicted to world of Warcraft back then and i looked their history and roles up and I was desperate to play as one in oblivion as oblivion was (and still is) one of my favorite games of all time.

Now I am desperate once again so please if someone is reading this and they know how to make a mod like this please do this.

Please I beg you this is a great idea and I implore all modders please attempt this idea
