SSE Alduin ArmorSet SideView Test
(The Description is just a copy paste of the one for LE)
This is part of an armor set I have been working on for a little bit now and is far from finished (this is a very early concept). The armor set is going to be obtainable by defeating alduin (who I also plan to overhaul when I finish the armor) and using materials from him to craft the armor at a special forge you will either find while adventuring or by playing a prologue quest I will create, it will also change physically based on what your skills are this is only the mage variant there will be multiple variants for each combination of skill types (warrior, thief, mage), it will be able to undergo a transformation by summoning an aspect of the world eater using the shout AL-DU-IN that also changes depending on what variant the armor is (mages summon the soul, warriors summon the scales, thieves summon the wings). But due to the absolute OP nature of the armor it is going to have some downsides, these downsides will decrease as you level up and gain control of the armor.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The downsides are:
- Loss of control: Alduin has a chance to take control over your armor
and go on a killing spree, the chances of this become greater as your
health get lower.
- Weakness opposites strength: whatever variant your armor is, it will have weaknesses that are the opposite of your
strengths (Mages will be weak against physical attacks, Warriors will be
weak against magic, etc...)
- Exertion: using the abilities of the armor too much will cause you to slow down and eventually start losing
health which will eventually lead to death.
-more to be added...
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Each variant will also have skills and abilities you can access other than
the transformation that will be both passive and active.
Warrior skills:
- Increase damage with one-handed and/or two-handed (scales with the skill trees)
- Increase Physical defense (scales with heavy armor)
- Use dragon souls to increase the potency of smithing (scales with smithing)
- Thorn Shot: Summon a thorn made of alduins horns to use in place of an
arrow. (causes knockback, bleed, and weakness to physical attacks. scales with archery)
- Reflect Damage: Perfect blocking will reflect a % of damage to attacker (scales with block, max block reflects all damage)
- World Eaters appetite: consume the souls of your enemies be they dragon or not, at the risk of losing control to alduin. (consuming souls extends transformation timer, lessens shout timer and restores stats, the stronger the enemy the stronger the effect)
- Survival Instinct: Survive a killing blow at the cost of a dragon soul and allowing alduin to take control. (option will appear to use ability when you die and once you hit a certain level you no longer lose control to Alduin)
- Scale Shed ability (only when transformed): shoot out sharp scales around you to stagger npcs and cause them to bleed, this can stack.
- No Pain (only when transformed): you take no damage from physical attacks while transformed but all the damage you don't take, up to 90% of your max health, will be taken when you leave the transformation.
- Hardened Scales (only when transformed): physical attacks from foes cause them to stagger with a chance to disarm if using a melee weapon.
Thief skills:
- Chance to slow your perception of time when attacked (scales with light armor)
- Harder to detect when sneaking (scales with sneak)
- Dragons Claws: use alduins claws to pick locks, drains stamina when in use, if stamina runs out claw breaks (scales with lockpicking)
- Slight of hand: pickpocket a foe while in combat (Success depends on pickpocket level)
- Use your blood to increase the potency of Potions and poisons (scales with Alchemy)
- Shouting can cause any npc to flee in fear (scales with speech)
- World Eaters Shadow: while in a shadow or dark area you are harder to detect and can teleport to other shadowy areas, you can also teleport others to you but doing so increases the chance of Alduin taking over.
- Lose control: in a dire situation you can surrender control over to alduin causing all npc to freeze in fear. (once you hit a certain level
you no longer lose control to Alduin)
- Wing flap (only when transformed): use the wings of alduin to give yourself extra jumps that also cause stagger to those around you.
- Evasion(only when transformed): attacks seem to pass through you sometimes but if they do hit you they hit hard.
- Dodge (only when transformed): use the wings of alduin to push you in any direction.
Mage skills:
- Increase damage of spells (scales with destruction)
- Increase conjured ally amount (scales with conjuration)
- Reduce magicka usage for spells (scales depending on spells school)
- Use dragon souls to overcharge enchanted items (scales with enchanting)
- Chance to absorb magic (scales with alteration)
- Dragons Mend: use your other stats to restore health (scales with restoration)
- Distraction: summon illusions of yourself to divide your foes attention (scales with illusion)
- Magical Effort: if you run out of magicka your magic will use stamina, if you run out of stamina and magicka you use health.
- World Eaters Voice: Shouts no longer have a timer, they now use magicka and are effected by Magical Effort. (as you start draining other stats you have a higher chance to lose control to Alduin)
- Magicka Eruption: call upon the powerful magic of Alduin making pillars of pure magicka to erupt around you while giving you infinite magicka, this alsocauses Alduin to take control.(once you hit a certain level you no longer lose control to Alduin)
- Summon Aspect of the World Eater (only when transformed): summon an aspect of alduin to fight for you.
- Magicka absorption (only when transformed): all magic used against you is absorbed and added to your magicka increasing your magic damage, absorbing too much will leave you without magicka for a while after leaving the transformation.
- Magicka Mirror (only when transformed): copy any spell or shout you are hit with for as long as you are transformed
If anyone has any ideas they would like to share with me I would be happy to hear them :)
