Need perk ideas for an Assassin Guild Mod.

[joshua121]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm working on a huge mod right now, that adds something similar to the Dark Brotherhood quests into FNV. It's coming along nicely but I need some perk ideas for the mod.

 

I need to come up with a leveled perk, that you get when you join the guild, a perk that would advance in level every time you gain rank and advance in the guild

 

I have the first Rank of the perk for when you are an initiate, it adds 10% to movement speed while sneaking. Rank 2 adds +5% to damage against humans and non-feral ghouls, Rank 3 adds +5% to attack speed with all weapons...

 

These are very simple and they work, but I'd like some cooler ideas.

 

The only real guide line is that it should be something that would fit an assassin.

 

You guys are always throwing out cool ideas, so I'm hoping you can help me out here. Thanks.

Love the idea. The New Vegas Bounties is a nice mod but I really want to take out non hostile targets and do assassin stuff. I'll have a good old think and see if anything comes to mind. If there's anything else you might need help with shout me. I'm mostly good at music but I can use the geck.

To be honest, I would love to get a team together or at least get a few more modders on board with this project. I've already got about 200 + hours in this thing already and I have no end in sight.

 

I've already got about 10 assassinations along with other odd jobs (blowing up some tunnels to close them off, etc..) Custom armors, perks, factions, hundreds of lines of dialogue ( all voice acted and lip synced, save for the people wearing helmets.)

 

I need more ideas, more voice actors... more help.

 

So yeah, if you'd like to help I would LOVE that.

 

 

Here's some eye candy from the mod...

Cool,

 

Well I can help with voices (I'm English BTW). One idea that I did have was to make it so when you join you receive a perk pack. If the player has already taken a perk that comes in a pack they just get -1 perk. I guess its to add some dimension to your assassin character. Obviously I get that making your own perks is cool but I though it might be worth mentioning. Let me know how I can help.

 

some examples....

 

Stealth

 

• 
   
  
• Ninja 20 Melee Weapons 80, Sneak 80 1 x1.15 (instead of +15 luck due to a bug) critical chance with melee and unarmed weapons, +25% damage with melee/unarmed sneak attack criticals.
  
• Heave, Ho! 2 ST 5, Explosives 30 1 +50% thrown weapon velocity and range.
  
• Mister Sandman 10 Sneak 60 1 Can instantly kill a sleeping non-player character, and earns bonus XP
  
• Silent Running 12 AG 6, Sneak 50 1 Running no longer factors into a successful sneak attempt.
  
• Slayer 24 AG 7, Unarmed 90 1 The speed of all your melee and unarmed attacks is increased by 30%.
  

 

Gunslinger

 

• 
   
  
• Nerves of Steel 26 AG 7 1 20% faster AP regeneration.
  
• Gunslinger 6 1 +25% accuracy in V.A.T.S. with one-handed weapons.
  
• Shotgun Surgeon 6 Guns 45 1 When using shotguns, regardless of ammunition used, you ignore an additional 10 points of a target's Damage Threshold.
  
• Rapid Reload 2 AG 5, Guns 30 1 All of your weapon reloads are 25% faster than normal.
  
• Quick Draw 8 AG 5 1 Makes weapon equipping and holstering 50% faster.
   
  

Sniper

 

• 
   
  
• Sniper 12 PE 6, AG 6 1 25% more likely to hit the target's head in V.A.T.S.
  
• Travel Light 4 Survival 45 1 While wearing light armor or no armor, you run 10% faster.
  
• Grim Reaper's Sprint 20 1 A kill in V.A.T.S. restores 20 AP immediately.
  
• Friend of the Night 2 PE 6, Sneak 30 1 Your eyes adapt quickly to low-light conditions.
  
• Better Criticals 16 PE 6, LK 6 1 +50% damage with critical hits.
  

 

Engineer

 

• 
   
  
• Light Step 14 PE 6, AG 6 1 Floor traps or mines will not be set off.
  
• Splash Damage 12 Explosives 70 1 Explosives have a 25% larger area of effect.
  
• Hit the Deck 12 Explosives 70 1 +25 DT against explosives.
  
• Piercing Strike 12 Unarmed 70 1 All your unarmed and melee attacks negate 15 points of DT.
  
• Weapon Handling 16 ST < 10 1 Weapon Strength requirements are now 2 points lower than normal for you.
   
  

Brute

 

• 
   
  
• Bloody Mess 6 1 +5% overall damage, more violent death animations.
  
• Adamantium Skeleton 14 1 Damage taken by limbs reduced by 50%.
  
• Unstoppable Force 12 ST 7, Melee Weapons 90 1 x4 normal damage through enemy blocks with melee and unarmed attacks.
  
• Paralyzing Palm 18 Unarmed 70 1 Can paralyze an enemy for 30 seconds with a V.A.T.S. unarmed attack.
  
• Super Slam 8 ST 6, Melee Weapons 45 1 All melee (except thrown) and unarmed attacks have a chance of knocking your target down. 15% for Unarmed or one-handed melee, 30% for two-handed melee.

Cool,

 

Well I can help with voices (I'm English BTW).

 

I will definitely take you up on that. I have actually posted a few times that I need some voice actors.

 

There is a character named Wilkes who is one of the assassins. He carries around an old Chinese Officer's Shock Sword. He says he took it off an Enclave Officer many many years ago. I want to have a quest so that you can get the sword from him, but haven't thought of what it should be. If you are really interested in helping pm me, I can send you some stuff and we can really talk ideas.

 

Anyway, I brought up Wilkes because I need someone to do his voice acting.

 

Thanks.

perks for different types of assasins

 

so some for melee/unarmed

 

some for guns (specificlly making snipers weapons that can have scopes or silencers or are silenced better to the assassin playstyle)

 

some for energy weapons (thats how I do things nseak attack critical then loot the ashes)

 

and some for explosives (is that a stick of dynamite or are you just- oh oh my)

 

something to make poisons more effective (and make yourself less effected)

 

and something concerning stealth boys (a perk to craft them or maybe theyre more effective)

 

definitly lean towards accuracy and better criticals then straight out power to me an assassin should be able to kill in one quick blow

 

some perks for lock picking and hacking (find a way to add a rank to the perks that let you try again to let you try a second time-for those of us who dont use the known hacking exploit)

 

thats it for now

 

I just started my own project but hey I can always try and help
