Locke31 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Got another wish for enchantments. One that I can apply to a sword and would probably need a script to enact. How it would work is that say 95% of the time the strike has an enchantment of 10 points health damage, but 5% of the time, the enchantment would be Soul Trap for 2 seconds and 5000 points of health damage. Essentially there would be a 5% chance of immediate soul trapping a.k.a. a Sword of Soul Stealing that isn't too overpowered. I've tried to modify the enchantment and script form SI's Ruin's Edge, but the bow vs sword conflict just doesn't pan out right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidzebra Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 You should probably look at the script attached to Mehrunes' Razor from the DLC with the same name: The most unusual aspect of this dagger, however, is the Daedric Banishing enchantment, which has a chance of instantly killing its target.The chance that Daedric Banishing instantly kills is based upon your luck and is not leveled:DeathChance = PlayerLuck * 0.05DeathChance is at least 1 and at most 10. The script then generates a random number from 0 to 99; if the random number is less than or equal to DeathChance, the dagger kills instantly. http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Mehrunes'_Razor_Items#Mehrunes_Razor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke31 Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Works excellent for insta kill, but does nothing for soul trapping :confused: I do like the implementing of Luck in the calculations tho'S'pose if I can't figure out a way to implement the Soul Trapping I may just go with this. Anyhoo, thank you for the research and reply AcidZebra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMastersSon Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 The comments on acidzebra's page are worth noting imo, especially about protecting essential characters etc from insta-kill weapons. One swipe can cause problems in any number of quests. The same caution is given for poisoned apples for the same reason. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke31 Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Tried adding the insta kill with safety to a soul trap sword, but not quite what I wanted... it tends to soul trap many low level opponents. What I wanted was, only a 5% (or so) chance of instant soul trap,other wise just normal damage (maybe with a slight bonus) and if you kill your opponent they just die. Not sure if I'm explaining this right ... Edited December 5, 2017 by Locke31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
