Throwing around racials ideas (Excellent Racials Package)

[Rikiaz]

And for RP reasons they should really get a bonus from eating meat and should be unable to eat fruit, but food items don't have the correct keywords to do it without touching individual food items. :(

 

Actually the Green Pact only applies to vegetation from Valenwood. Stuff from Skyrim would be perfectly fine for a Bosmer to eat.

Inb4 some joker sells Valenwood fruits just to screw over the next bosmer that comes along. :smile:

Update:

Imperial ability: Cosmopolitan
Imperials are all talk and no action. This makes vendors cut you a better deal (yawn), reduces bribe costs (yawn) and enables you to give any non-hostile non-Stormcloak willing to chat with you a wad of cash and permanently increase their disposition to Ally so they can become your followers and stuff. Yes, you can buy friends.

Imperial power: Colovian Star
(1/day) If your health, stamina and/or magicka are below 20%, it regenerates said stats at a rate of 25 points for 15 seconds. You can use this as a free full heal, or a free full magicka refill, or stamina refill, or all three if you time it right. Oh, and the percentage increases by 1% every 2 levels up to a cap of 50%.

Argonian ability: Histborn
Gives waterbreathing (yawn) and when your health, stamina and/or magicka dips below 20%, half of the difference between them and 20% is regenerated per second. This also applies to enemies. trollface.jpg

Sounds great so far =]

I do like the idea of having a permanent Dunmer ancestor spirit, perhaps leveling along with the character?

[EnaiSiaion]

Changed the functionality of Colovian Star (at 2AM lol). It now restores 10 (+0.5 per clvl) points per second for 15 seconds if your stats are below 25%, and also doesn't kick in if your stats are lowered below 25% after it is cast, so you do need to time it.

Maybe you could give bretons some ability that lets them know when an enemy has resistance to certain magics.

Which race would make sense to have some kind of magical radar?

[EnaiSiaion]

I don't want to give races abilities that specifically improve certain builds. This creates the whole favoured build syndrome I'm trying to avoid (aka why build a non-mage high elf?).

 

A nonmagical radar is a bosmer skill.

Not much progress today, but I did implement:

Dunmer ability: Balefire
A blast of hellfire from Red Mountain that kills the target but also damages you based on how much damage it did.

Dunmer ability: Whispers
Periodically indicates a nearby human with magical loot, kill or pickpocket.

And graphics for Ancestral Guardians!

Dunmer powers will interact with these guardians in various ways.

I see. But hey, judging by those new skills, you make me want to start a Imperial. Though will the Voice of the Emperor be erased or it will stay?

[EnaiSiaion]

I want to get rid of the vanilla racials because they are just copies of regular spells or boring passives. Except berserk, that one's interesting with a few tweaks.

 

Currently working on the altmer abilities. I hope to be able to finish off all of the 'mers by the end of the week.
