I forgot to mention, if you could make my Longsword of Disintegration look like an Elven Longsword, I'd appreciate it. If not, it's no big deal.

Also, I wanted to say I appreciate you putting another one of these together. I was a lurker back during the first three, but I enjoyed them immensely. They look like a ton of fun and I'm excited to finally be participating in one. So thanks for putting this together, Dragatus

You're welcome. And sure, changin the sword's looks is no problem.

We've got 9 people, only 7 more. Preferably Nords.

I could enter a second character if that's acceptable. He wouldn't be a Nord though

Yes, that's acceptable. It's already in the rules from the very start. You can enter multiple characters, but the second one can only take part in the tournament if there aren't enough people submiting their first character and so on.

I put an advertisemant in my sig, hopefully to attract more combatants. Maybe others should do the same

Done

Nice! :foodndrink:

That's a great idea.

I'm extending the date for submissions yet again. We need 7 more people to host the tournament as intended, but we could also pull it off with only 12. Excpt then I'd divide you guys into 4 groups of 3 people and within each group everybody fights everybody. Then the winners of each group proceed to the semi-finals and we follow the reguar rules from there on.

Wanting to hire target practice.....

I'd like to try, but I feel stump-dumb about this.

Are you trying to say that the rules are a bit too complicated?

Anyway, I sent PMs to 3 people who entered Nords in the previous tournament so hopefully we'll have 12 poeple by tomorrow and then the fighting can begin.

count me in bro! can i use the character i used in the previous tournament you hosted?

Yes, you can. In fact that's even easier for me because I don't have to create your character from scratch.

I can I'll enter a character, gimme a while though, I'm a bit rusty with Oblivion's items and character creation.

I changed it. I hope it's okay now.

@ Slashcross

Vandir looks good.

@ Skorr

Duluk fits the rules, but you didn't pick a free blunt weapon or free bow either so that actually makes your budget 9000.

@ DaTriXX

Mostly good, but a few points. Security also gives 1000 gold and if you don't want a magic weapon you should just take the free blunt weapon and ask me too change how it looks. If you take a free battleaxe your budget will be 8000 (base + Blade + Hand-to-hand + Security).

Aslo "enchanted elven cuirass" doesn't count as an artifact and neither does the Helm of Deep Diver. You can get them if you really insist, but you'd be handicaping yourself. I suggest you pick items from http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Artifacts instead.

You're not too late, there are still 3 free spots. And even if if all 16 would have been filled, there are plenty of non-Nords so Hrothgar would make it in any case.

Hrothgar looks mostly good, you just need to specify if you're summoning daedra or skeletons. And I suggest changing your artifact selection. In the previous tournament I hosted one of the finalist had the Skull of Corruption, but the stupid AI kept using it on the summoned creature of the opponent.

fixed it. just watched that video and it reminded me why i stick to morrowind; no AI is better than that.

I fixed it. If there's something wrong again, would you mind fixing it for me? Thanks.

Your character is legal, but now that you have the free axe (I should make it look elven, yes?) you have only spent 2000 out of your 8000 gold. That gives you 6000 more gold to spend. Maybe you'd want a Shield of Returning? It's a Mithril shield enchanted with 14% Reflect Spell and costs 5715 gold.

Yes please, make it look elven, and I'll take the Shield of Returning. Thanks.
