lol good one

I think you might be taking the thread a little too seriously...

This is already a spell, I believe. Check the hubdate "Sounds of Skyrim". The dev talks about a spell called "iron skin" or something and he plays the effect.

Linguist: you gain slimilar racial disposition when talking to any other races.

Soft touch: you have a high chance of knocking unsuspecting people out with your fists, (also appears as special dialogue option to interupt at the opportune moments)

Charge: you may run with your sheild up barging n smashing aside small/medium foes, inaddition it gives a general increase to block with shields.

Those are pretty good perks. Here's a couple I've singled out for a little constructive criticism on:



Mercy - I can't really imagine a situation where this trait would be useful or necessary, except maybe for specific quests, and it seems like it might take you out of the moment. Is there a particular use you have in mind for this?

Teleport - I love the idea of making fast travel a perk, so I wouldn't be quite so tempted to use it. But if I needed fast-travel and my character is a magickaphobe, I wouldn't want to use a skill called "teleport"... Plus it would defy fast travel as it works in OB and F3, since time still passes regularly during fast travel. How about calling it "Forced March" or something similar instead?

Plague Bearer - It's a cool perk, but it wouldn't be worth walking around with a disease for a 10% chance, especially when I'm about to kill them anyway. I'd like it a lot, though, if it spread a unique "Plague Bearer" plague that didn't affect my character.

The reason I didn't add battlemage is (if I remember accurately) heavy armor is supposed to hinder a mage. To gain a magika boost from heavy armor, even if you're accustom to wearing it, would cheapen the mage and possibly make it more favorable. This is in my own humble opinion though.

chivalry is alive!: You heal 10% total HP for every disposition increase and 25% for using speech craft on an enemy of the opposite six.
Fists of Fury : 2X hand to hand combat attack speed and 10% extra chance of disarm

Wizard - While duel-wielding spells, spells are 10% more effective and take less time to cast

Arch-Wizard (requires Wizard) - Increase spell effectiveness by 5% more, and increases all magical resistances

That Stings! - Critical strikes from daggers now cause the enemy to bleed. Undead are immune

Spellsword - While a magical effect is active on an enemy, one-handed weapon damage is increase by 15%

Burly and Brawn - Allows duel-wielding of two-handed weapons (excluding polearms), while slightly reducing each weapons damage

Thread the Needle - Sneak attacks from bows now ignore enemies armor

Featherwood - Arrows fly farther

Plant Nurturer - Gives a 50% chance you will get double ingredients when collecting from plants.

Tree- Hugger (requires Planet Nurturer) - All planets now yield double the ingredients

Everyone loves the Rich - While wearing expensive clothes, your speech craft skill is increased by 25%. Beggars will become increasingly persistent, however.

Shady Afternoon (Requires Vamparism) - Damage from sunlight is reduced by 50%

I Hope They Don't Have Stakes - (Requires Shady Aftertoon perk) - Player no longer takes damage from sunlight, but non-vampire npc's treat player with open-hostility

My friend, you are mistaken. The idea was that Battlemage would raise spell effectiveness from like 70% (with armor on) to 80%. A non-armored mage would still have more powerful spells at 100% effectiveness.

Hulking: You are a giant of a man giving you a +10 to strength. But lowering your speed by 5.

Average: There is nothing special about you. No changes to attributes.

Small and Swift: You are as thin as a twig giving you a +10 to agility. But lowering your strength by 5.

Chunky: Your waste line is above average giving you a +20 to frost resistance but lowering your Endurance by 5.

A few perks that I thought could be applied depending on your body type. (Assuming you can change your body type in Character Creation.)

Goblin Kin - A local goblin clan has taken a shine to you for some reason. Once a day the pc can summon X goblins to aid in battle but beware, the goblins won't make a difference between friend or foe.

What is this I don't even...

The unbreakable: Your chance of being knocked down is significantly decreased, requires high endurance.

Natural maintenance: Your weapons and armors now break at a 50% slower rate, requires high smithing skill.

The poison maker: Your poisons made by alchemy become 20% stronger. Requires high alchemy.

The potion maker: Your potions made by alchemy become 20% stronger. Requires high alchemy.

The sprinter: Sprinting now consumes 30% less stamina.

Arrow maniac: You can now repair broken arrows that have been broken when they hit your target. Requires medium smithing and marksman.

Arrow finder: Lost arrows are highlighted on the ground when zooming in with a bow equipped.

ROFL :facepalm: I'm pretty sure the GI article said we could change our character's height and weight. Uh... so. Yeah, that would make no sense.

I've actually been surprised at the relative difficulty everyone is having coming up with perks with coherent names and descriptions that make sense from a gameplay perspective and don't scream Fallout. It's harder than I thought it would be.

Doctor Jones: More likely to find treasure in ruins, caves, etc.

Butch the Butcher: Higher chance of dismemberment

Spill on Isle 4: Higher chance of creating a bloody mess while in combat. (similar to the Bloody Mess Perks )

Spike Ball Aficionado: Do 25% more damage with a mace.

Sorry if I offended anyone with that I just added it in there because my brother is a bit overweight and he seems to be impervious to the cold.

There was a feature like this in the Alchemy Advanced mod for OB, that added a piece of apparatus called the refiner, that allowed you to filter the effects of ingredients - something like that would be great. A Master of Alchemy perk - requires 75+ Alchemy, allows you to use refiners.

Don't worry, just thought it was funny and obviously not a completely serious one. I don't think there's any clear formula for cold resistance when it comes to body size or type though.

If there are areas (like castles) where they don't let you have weapons or if you get robbed or possibly taken prisoner,

Secret Pocket- Allows you to conceal a dagger when being stripped of weapons (Sneak)

Adrenaline Rush- Right before the fatal blow is delivered to you time slows down dramatically, giving you time to react. Can only occur once every 24 hours. (Any combat skill?)

Inconspicous- People never notice you, meaning you are less likely to be suspected for crimes and more likely to have people slip vital information around you. (Sneak or Speechcraft?)

Bloody Work- Your skill as an assassin allows you to assassinate enemies when undetected(for bows) and behind them (for melee)in a way that makes them sprout blood everywhere, causing people who witnessed the act to be stunned for a few seconds, giving you time to escape. (Marksman, melee or sneak?)

Deadly Embrace(requires vampirism)- When coming upon an unsuspecting person you may svck them dry, killing them and giving you bonuses. (vampirism)

Combo Breaker (finishing move)- Master of Blade, Block, And heavy or light Armor: The following attack move have 5% possibility rate, when using a forward charge attack, ONLY for NPCs, if target has less current health and fatigue than you (could even be 200 HP, 150 F):

1. Thrust blade (oppenent cruches up)
2. Shield Bash (Opponent Staggers)
3. Pommel Strike (pommel to head, paralize for 3 seconds)
4. Behead (when target hits ground, rush forward, stand over chest. One handed strike in a swiping motion decapitates target)

An Old Friend - By Azura! By Azura! By Azura!!!
~You know where this is going...~

Mustachio - You have special dialouge options (or an increase in speech) when your character has a mustache-Race Specific. Ex:No Argonians or Khajits

The Black Knight - You have a small percentage to cut off all of your opponets limbs (excluding head) when you kill an opponet. Make sure it's more than a flesh wound...

It's All in the Legs (Hand-to-hand requirement:50) - What's this? You can now use your legs in combat? What shall you call this move, a...kick?

Viking's Fury (Nord-Race Specific) - A Greater Power - Once a day, for twenty seconds, your speed increases to a ridiculous level, and enemies have difficulty blocking your lighting fast attacks.

Ahaha! Well played, sir.
