I can't wait to see the 'Battle Royale' if you decide to throw everyone in the arena together!

I thought of an idea for alchemy for future tournaments (fingers crossed). Since its been mentioned that the AI isn't very good at using its potions, I think its kind of pointless for your number of potions to increase when alchemy ranks up. I think instead of just getting double or triple the number of potions, you should choose potion setups for each rank like this:
Apprentice: budget of 100, choose what you want
Journeyman: Budget of 250, choose what you want
Expert: Budget of 350, choose what you want
Master: Budget of 500, choose what you want
Also, maybe have Imperials have an increased base magic item budget instead of resist shock

Actually from what I've seen it seems that thee AI only ever uses 1 buff before combat. So it's possible that she'll open with her summoning potion (this may or may not break her invisibility) and use her Invisibiity potion when her summon gets killed. Or maybe she'll never use it.



In the tournaments that I'm going to host it will be a flat 200 gold at all skill levels.

It can be hard to tell when an NPC uses a poison because there is no animation for applying it. The spell animation when it is applied to the target may be hard to see due to magical weapon effects and magical defensive effects.

Alright I've started putting the NPC's in the plugin, ive gotten 5 so far, gonna get the rest in tonight.

Woohoo! :celebrate:

Thank you for hosting the tourney! :hugs:

Ive gotten up to Trannigan Drattmer, inclluding him on the list done. Will try to get the rest in tonight. and no prob, I thought Senior Advisor Dragatus wouldnt mind participating in one for once!

You've got that right. :goodjob:

Trannigan is the only one I'm worried about. I kind of regret telling him not to use the Acrobat's Amulet. Now that he took Atronach Boots instead he is immune to Shock and has 50% Resist Fire and Frost so Apotheosis will only hit him for 33 damage in total when normally it hits for 99 damage. But Morvalien tells me I worry too much and that with the help of her Skeleton guardian she can handle him just fine. In any case, Trannigan is set up as a mage-killer, but won't do quite as well against a hardcoe melee opponents.

Oh yeah, this reminds me. I set up a couple of fights in the arena myself and noticed that there is a bit of an issue with my character standing invisible in the center of the arena. It's not much of a problem for melee, but if the two combatants are shooting at each other with spells or staves my character would quite often block the shots. A solution is to move the red X marker in the middle of the arena because that is where you appear when you use the coc console command to enter the arena.

I make my own arena, I duplicate the cell and delete everything but the arena pieces so I have no issues

Well I got one after Trannigan done -.-
Got to distracted by Nehrim again...

Drat! How did I miss this tournament? Would've loved to put my character in (she's #2 on the Elder Stats leaderboard if you want to see her )

Level 51
Weapon: Dragonfire Sword (Durable Perfect Madness Longsword) with these enchantments:

Perfect Amber cuirass, gauntlets, greaves, boots each enchanted with 20% Resist Magic
Perfect Amber Helm enchanted with Detect Life 180
Perfect Amber Shield enchanted with Fortify Magicka 50 pts
Every skill >= 100
Every attribute 100

That's not an official entry since it's already closed. Oh well, maybe next tournament

Wooo I'm dangerous! :celebration: :teehee:

You're dangerous to Morvalien but Gurkog the Hapless or Arwynn would make mincemeant out of you.

........Nu-uh..... :sadvaultboy:

Eh I have no guesses on how my char will do this time, he didn't do so well last time.

I will probably do better in the next tournament, I know I did not optimize my characters well.

BFG- Im sure there will be another tourney soon afterwards of this one.
One last character to do then I can start filming XD

Baruhk is getting boooooooored.. let's start the fights soon!and I have another awesome character waiting in the rafters for the next tournament. I'm only entering the one in this one to save room for new talent.

Sarevok heartily agrees with Barukh and can hardly wait until he gets to kill someone.

Well thats good, because I finished getting them all made up and am gonna start filming tonight! The rankings will get posted tomorrow

Awesome, can't wait for that.

Nice, this should be good.

:run: :intergalactic: :dmc:

Arwynn is a Goddess in my game....lets see if she can hold up as a npc,...................which are notoriously dumb.........

Alright just gotta fix Sraaj-Dar's helmet, for some reason its sideways. Then ima film and get the rankings up for ya'll.

Baruhk's axe hungers for blood..and his patron Molag Bal hungers for souls.

The problem with that is not just in the AI. Another problem is that most of us are godlike in our games so she'll be up against other godlikes.

Though of course Morvalien is more godlike that you lot of wannabes.
