Got it, just picked the item.

you also might want a sword, and i personally suggest something with a frost enchantment.

and you will want some kind of AI. go ahead with NPCConjurer if you want.

EDIT: :whistling:

I really wanted to be in this oh well My life has no meaning now

Woot cant wait to see how mah characters fight goes

Great, Tyrone's first fight and he's up against a crazy Orc with a Warhammer... Good luck to Skorr and Duluk!

Good luck in our match Hazmick, I think it will be a close one since our chars are kinda similiar. (Heres hopin Trannigan doesnt get his head smashed in by Hjolfyr's warhammer lol. >__< )

I have a feeling Anim is gunna destroy Hjolifur. Although my summons might distract him a little, my sword will break itself and i'll electrocute myself. and, oce neither of us have swords, he'll be better at hand-to-hand.

@Dragatus

I won't be able to really look into the things you mentioned until tomorrow (about 12 hours from now) If you could hold off on at least my match I'd appreciate it. If not, the longsword you suggested will be fine.

Your confidence is impressive.



I honestly expect Hjolfyr to win this because he can heal himself and Trannigan can't.



Alim's shield has 14% Reflect Spell so most of your spell will come through. Hrothgar also has more health (because he's a tough Nord instead of a puny Bosmer ), he can heal himself, and because he has Speechcraft he can invalidate one lost fight. My money is on him.



Only the first 4 matches are scheduled for today and David only has to fight in the 5th match, so no problems here.

But he might come back with it?

Good luck! ^_^

I can see Hjolfyr quickly running out of Magicka...or paralyzing himself...or accidentaly healing Trannigan...lol. :facepalm:

I think I'll root for the Nord.

Which Nord?

The ugly one.

Heh, didn't see this until now. Will be awesome to follow this. Great idea!

Somehow, I calculate a 45% chance of Gregreo succeeding. He may beat John in a long, bloody struggle, but I'd be amazed if he survived four combatants.

Funny enough, my real name IS John.

Did you make any sanctions against Conjuration? I glanced over the OP and didn't see anything.

Also, good luck everyone! Hopefully someone beats Crazy Jim.

I've added a scripted effect to all the summoning spells that remove summoning spells from the summoner. If it works as intended the result will be that a summoner can only use his or her summoning spell once per fight. I'm not sure yet if it will work though because for the last couple of days I've been ... er ... distracted by the Nehrim mod. :blush:

A interesting thing that happened is also that only one of the characters in the tournament both has Conjuration as a major skill and is specialized in magic and that is Rythe Arano. He's one of only two characters who start as a Journeyman in Conjuration and the only one who could possibly become an Expert. And the funny thing is that Rythe gets to start the tournament by fighting against Crazy Jim, the only other person who starts as Journeyman in Conjuration. All the other summoners start as apprentices so during Round 1 they'll be summoning Scamps.

I have recorded the fights, now I need to edit and upload them. This would probably be a good time for Buffy to tend to the wounded.

There are two more things that I'd like to mention:

1. It turned out that the modification I made to the spells works as intended for the player but doesn't seem to affect NPCs. However, it does seem to affect NPC behaviour. Conjurers can still summon whatever they are summoning as many times as they want, but quite often they don't want. For example in one fight between Jim and Rythe both summoned a creature to help them, but in the next fight neither summoned anything. Basically there seems to be a 50-50 chance whether or not they'll do any summoning.

2. I seem to have some problems with SI equipment. I get the missing mesh exclamation mark so I replaced Brutis' Madness gear with Daedric. But he still got the same stats, it's just the look that changed. Also, whoever has the Madness sword will get a sword that looks Daedric instead. I have no idea what is causing the problem, but I suspect something must have gone wrong when I made a paralel installation of Oblivion for Nehrim, because I used to have no problems with SI.

Ladies and gentlemen, the first 4 matches are here!

Ha Great matches. Congrats to all the winners.

Nice matches. I love how at the end of the first one, the guy in all dwemer armor (Crazy Jim?) raises his arm casting healing spells, which looks like he's cheering victory, and which also coincides with the part in the song where the people are chanting "For the king! For the king! For the sake of Skyrim!"

I also like how you made all the matches around 1:10 long, because then I'm not able to tell who's the victor based on whether there are 2 or 3 matches.

The dead guy with the blue face is probably a Dunmer, so yeah, Crazy Jim si the one with the Dwemer helmet. And yes, I too really like how that came out.

The main reason they're all equally long is because of the music. The part with the chanting is my favourite so i want it to play in every fight.

Yes, the music is great. It really adds flavor to the battles.

I've edited my original post. I took the sword that you recommended, Dragatus, and I made a few changes to my magic apparel to spend all of my unused gold. Hopefully I got it right this time.

Edit: For convenience

Well Dang!
Oh well, good luck to Crazy Jim! I'll be an watching the whole tournament, and participate in the next.

Wahoo, 3 rings are a bit much, don't you think?
