LE Quivers/Enchantable Arrows

[TheKotU]

My Idea (of Many to come)

 

Is to have Quivers (to enchant), which basically allow for arcane archery as well as other abilities. I would prefer it that when using a spell that magicka be used as well as a balance.

 

Some Info:

-Quivers are just containers, and a medium to enchant to allow for this to work.

So if you like the look of the Orcish quiver, but want to use your highest damage output arrows, it would work.

-Size of Quiver unlimited if not enchanted (Arrows really should have weight but oh well.)

-Enchanted Quiver Size based on Soul Gem used to enchant it. Grand (as I've seen so far) is the largest, and will "allow" up to 100

-Power of the enchant is Scaled. So if you use a grand gem, with minimal arrows in the quiver, power of enchant will increase.

-Maximum of 25 - 100 arrows per quiver. (Balancing issue, as well as to not make feature OP, IMO)

-When Expended, Quiver will lose enchant(s), and the enchant process will need to be redone.

-May only contain ONE type of arrow.

-When enchanted Quiver will have weight, based on number of arrows and Quiver/Arrow type. (perk to decrease?)

-Quivers weight based on number of arrows (Balancing Issue, preventing OP)

-Quivers should be craftable, and have realistic crafting requirements

 

Well i have more thoughts on this, but think discussing them will be better,

 

Possible Additions POST Vanilla (as in any enchant that is in the game already) that is

-Ability to Have Grease/oil fired from arrow spawn under or at point of impact.

Useful to cause lingering damage to multiple enemies.

Can set traps, and draw enemies in. Set this oil up, place a Fire Rune, Draw an extra Arrow, and have fun. watching the fire works.

Can create massive fields of oil, and cause havoc if you wish.

-A Multi-Arrow Shot, with a bow drawn, press a toggle key, like the zoom, select multiple targets (perk?-up to max 3) then fire away

Enchant is per shot, so each arrow needs to have their own hit/miss calculation.

Fire and Forget shooting, as in if they move the arrow will miss.(if its oil who cares they'll burn anyway(if bow has fire enchant))

-Seeking Arrows (If arrow flight mechanics can be modified mid-flight this will work)

Will seek to last highlighted/active target, or multiple if you used multi-arrow ability pre-shot.

USES MAGICKA AS A MODIFIER.

Will expend magicka at a rate per arrow fired, IF arc needs altering,

As in if your magicka is to low the arrow might wander off trajectory as it cant move towards them anymore.

Stray shots can be bad if your in town.......

Eg, Mark your Target, Stand behind a wall Fire away, giggle like a little girl when your enemy screams out its last breath.

-Scroll Wrap. (only bind to one arrow regardless of how many targets selected, goes to first target selected in this case)

Want to send your target a message they'll never forget... send em a scroll.

Will activate upon successful hit, or if hitting the target location on ground, if you hit the target, it will sap its mana for the cost to activate scroll if you hit the ground it will use your magicka. (scrolls are free, but this is a feature to bows, and will balance it)

Using these scrolls are dangerous, as they are NOT bound to you, you are just as much as an enemy to them as they are to you... also will hurt you if you launch a blizzard or whatever at your feat..(more balancing)

 

ALL abilities stack, so if you have a Quiver with Oil Pouch and Fire, and a bow, with shock, and MP/HP/ST leeching, it should work.
