Alright, we now have 2 free spots left. Remember, Nords have priority over other races.

Just wondering, say we have all the spaces filled up and another guy with a Nord joins up, will my character, as the first non-Nord to join the tournament, be the first or last to go if more Nords come?

The last non-Nord to join would be the first to go. The first non-Nord to join would be the last to go. I'm expectin Schmoe to sign up his Nord some time today and after that it's one more character and I'll stop accepting submissions.

I'm not making one of my actual characters I've made in the past (mostly because Byron hasn't fared so well in these tournaments). So I built an archetype character geared toward a more winning strategy (I hope).

Name: Brutis
Gender: Male
Race: Nord
Birthsign: The Thief
Appearance: Aged, "natural" silver (grey) hair, blue eyes, defined jaw, cheekbones and chin.
Class: Prowler
Specialization: Combat
Favored attributes: Strength, Speed
Major skils:
1. Athletics
2. Blunt
3. Block
4. Restoration
5. Marksman
6. Acrobatics
7. Heavy armor
Magic item budget: 7,000gp (Default 5,000gp + no free ebony bow 1000gp + no free ebony blunt weapon 1000gp).
Total magic item value: 6,925gp
Weapons: Voltage (2154gp), Bow of Quietus (2250gp), Arrow of Storm Strike x2 (256gp), and no other arrows please (including the 100 ebony arrows).
Armor/clothes: Madness armor (including shield) where not replaced with magic items. Madness Guantlets (matrix enchantment 1555gp).
Magic apparel: Base Ring of Shock Shield (710gp).

Desired Artifacts: The Grey Aegis shield if allowed, otherwise:
1. Lord Kelvyn's Bulwark (shield from Battlehorn Castle DLC)
2. Count Cirion's Helmet (from Shivering Isles)
3. Thorn Shield (Shivering Isles)

I guess the rules don't really say it has to be a character you've played so Brutis is in. I would prefer it though if you used artifacts from vanilla Oblivion, though SI artifacts are also good.

Use the same NPC everyone else uses... the Adoring Fan.

I'm posting another one so we can sTart.

We have 16 people. No further entries will be accepted.

Finally!

HeroofKvatch99, congratulations for being the 16th contestant! But you'll need to edit your chaarcter. Your budget is there only for magic items. You get a free set of either heavy or light armor because you have Heavy and Light armor as major skills. The armor will have the strength of Glass or Ebony, but I can make it look like anything you like. You can also get a free blade or blunt weapon made from Ebony. Your magic item budget is 7000 if you take the free weapon and 8000 if you don't.

If you won't take the free weapon, pick a magic weapon from http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Generic_Magic_Weapons. Then you can spend the rest of your magic item budget on magic armor or jewlery from http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Generic_Magic_Apparel. Finally you need to pick two artifacts from http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Artifacts, but only i ncase you make it to the grand finale. You will only get to use one of the artifacts, so put the one you want most in first place.

Hooray!!!

Ah shucks. Too bad. I was hoping I could enter this time around. Oh well. It'll be fun to watch anyway.

These tournaments are awesome.

Excellent! Kjelhe and Tyrone are up first.

aww... i spent like 20 minutes on Howgood. next tournament i guess. hahaha.

And btw, when do we start?

Hehehe I'm so excited. Tyrone don't fail me now!

I'm still busy creating the plugin, but I think tomorrow (European time) I should have the first fights up.

Also, you're not going to fight in the order in which you signed up. Instead I'm going to roll some dice and randomize it.

Okay, I edited my character some. Is that good or should I fix him up some more?

EDIT: I misspelled his name. His name's Gregreo, not Gegreo. Sorry 'bout that. :3

HeroofKvatch99, you still need to fix your entry like I wrote in http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1150863-deadliest-warrior-of-oblivion-sons-of-skyrim-tournament/page__view__findpost__p__16885942.

The plugin is pretty much done, I only need to get the proper info on Gregreo. Meanwhile I've rolled the dice to determine the order of fights:
Match 1: Crazy Jim vs Rythe Arano
Match 2: Tyrone vs Duluk the Conqueror
Match 3: Gregnak gro-Nagrog vs Brutis
Match 4: Alin Kavatchi vs Hrothgar the Speaker
Match 5: Kjelhe Bolthammer vs David
Match 6: Trannigan vs Hjolfyr
Match 7: Vandir Numdar vs Gurkog
Match 8: John vs Gregreo

And Wahoo, I noticed that the Longsword of Disintegration you picked for David is a Daedric weapon so you can't get it. You can get a Longsword of Shattering instead which is an Ebony Lognsword with the same enchantment. That gives you back 1400 gold to spend though and since nobody is using poison you might want to reconsider the Resist Poison gear you picked. Fornow I gave him grand versions of the rings you picked, but that still leaves 903 gold.

The first 4 matches though can be filmed no problem and you can expect them to be up tomorrow.

Ohh! I'm up first! Exciting!
Unfortunately, I see I am facing the reigning champ.

You could try shouting "Ni!" at him. Worked pretty well in the movie.

I'm feeling quite nervous...and VERY EXCITED!!! :ahhh: :ahhh: :ahhh: :ahhh: :ahhh: :ahhh:

I hope I got it right. I'm really trying. :[

Well, guess Gegreo will have to fight John. Can't wait to see how he'll do!

you have $7000 to spend of magic weapons/armor. so why not use them???

You haven't picked any magic items. Click http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Generic_Magic_Apparel. Pick magic items from that page with a combined value of 7000 gold or less.
