Adding New Races

Post » Tue Nov 02, 2010 2:24 am

I'm looking to use one of the many playable Dremora mods to make available the only race missing from RBP (which, I suspect, was left out because a: it might be too similar to Xivilai and/or b: lore reasons surrounding Dagon and his Dremora servants).

However, the poor Dremora race would be weak compared to his fellow races. So, the point of this topic is to balance the Dremora to a more equal standing amongst their fellow reasons.

For debate purposes, here is a link to the stats of RBP's races: http://theelderscrolls.info/?go=9XReadMeBalancingProject#4

and here, of course, is the page on Dremora: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Dremora

and the mod I would be using: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3518 (I will be altering it, but only for myself, unless others are interested, then a new mod would have to be developed)

Here's some lore:
These Daedra are intelligent and powerful humanoid war spirits, generally in the service of Mehrunes Dagon, although this was not always so. The Dremora have both spellcasting and fighting abilities, and carry a range of high quality weaponry. They are immune to normal weapons and can reflect spells. The most powerful wear Daedric armor, the most powerful armor in existence. Lesser Dremoras appear to wear such armor, but only because they may freely choose their appearance. Dremora have a rigid caste structure, divided into many tiers. In hierarchical order, these are Churl, Caitiff, Kynval, Kynreeve, Kynmarcher, Markynaz, and Valkynaz. Powerful Dremora are sometimes called "Daedra Lords."
