Skyrim magic, on-hit chance, proccs, MMO-syle, possible?

[Matth85]

Hey!

 

I got a simple question, as I havn't been near Skyrim modding since.. well, since the Creation Kit was just released. As well as my skillset is in modelling and art, not in scripting :smile:

 

Now, I am wondering if a certain mod exists, or if it is possible to make. I am generally thinking about proccs, on-hit chance and the kind of system MMO build on.

This is aimed at a battlemage, or spellsword, kind of character. As it is quite clunky now, and you either become one off 2 kinds.

1) You are a warrior who uses spells at range. Pretty much overpowered.

2) You are a mage with heavy armor.

 

Now, this does not fit the theme of a battlemage/Spellsword in my head. So I had this idea with proccs, and getting certain effects at certain times, with a certain chances.

For instance:

 

You got a 25% chance per melee hit to get 1 stack. At 10 stacks your restoration spells can:

A) Become free of cost.

B) Lose any kind of casting time ( master spell)

C) Gain additional effects.

D) Gain more effect.

 

A few examples:

Every melee hit have a 5% chance to give you a procc.

The procc is called "Surge of Power".

The effects:

 

Your Destruction spells are free of cast, and gain certain new effects.

 

* Flames: It sets the enemy on fire, dealing 100% spell damage over the next 8 seconds and the enemy explodes at death, dealing X damage.

* Fire Rune: When the Fire Rune is set it summons a Fire Atronach/Fire Elemental which attack whatever enters the trap, in addition to the trap going off.

* Fireball: Instead of 1 firebolt, it shoots out 4 fireballs at a 1s interval.

* Flame Cloak: The AoE effects become bigger, and the effect is doubled.

* Fire Storm: The cast time is gone

 

As you see, just a few examples. But what this would do is make the destruction spells very usefull for a battlemage as you get "Surge of Power". It would make you be able to cast a master level spell instantly. Of course, this could only be gained at 100 destruction and perhaps after a quest. Powerfull, yet not overpowered towards the level 81.

 

Effects like "Surge of Powers" For destruction spells, and perhaps effects like:

- On-hit a chance to gain a movement speed of X%.

- Near death all spells gain a X% improvement.

- At low health you gain a shield, which is stronger if you are skilled in certain school.

- When your spell hit you for a chance to gain X% magick back.

- When your spell hits your weapon gets an enchancement, duplicating the spell damage to your weapon.

 

What this would do:

- It would make the game more fun, at least for the spellswords and battlemages out there.

- It would make it unique and dynamic. Imagine you are charging in with your sword, you get low on health. You get a shield. The shield absorbs that fireball cast on you, since you got 100 destruction. It also heals you got a small ammount, since your restoration is at 100. And it absorbs the next few hits because your alteration is at a 100.

Now, you gain "Surge of Power"! With a second you cast Fire Storm, removing all the lesser enemies. As the fight goes on, you gain a 10 stacks and get an instant, free, healing off, which also gives you a "Healing over Time" -- which is quite strong.

 

You see? This could be fun. Instead of rushing in, 1-shotting everything, or running in and juggling melee - healing - melee - healing, you get a reason to change spells.

 

So, is this possible to do?

 

Cheers,

Matth

Nothing?

I'll try to bump this again, and see if any of you godlike scripters can give me some insight :)

Yes, you can use a script to look at OnHit (http://www.creationkit.com/OnHit_-_ObjectReference) events and then use a random number generator to have a chance of adding a hidden perk to the player, and when the final one is reached you give them whatever ability.

Intriguing....

I will have to research that. Perhaps it is due time for me to learn some scripting. There is just that much fun you can do with only modelling!

 

Thanks myztikrice!
