[Race] Snow Elves

Post » Fri Jul 29, 2011 4:11 am

So, in my free time from modding the Great Tribe of the Bear, and helping a friend out, I've made http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n620/slaaneshthecorruptor/MGEScreenshot1-2.jpg

The Snow Elves, a race ruled by it's females. They were just recently re-discovered, as they were though extinct by modern races, but they were cut-off from the outside world by a cave-in by the entrance to their city.


Stats:
Male/ Female
Str:40/40
Int:35/40
Will:25/45
End:50/30
Luck:40/40
Per:35/40
Agil:40/40
Sp:45/35
310/310

Marksman +15
Acrobatics, Light Armor, Restoration +5


Whatcha think?

EDIT1: Changed stats.

I'd definately like to use it. But I think maybe it'd be more natual if the skin was more a pale light not quite gray color, with a layer of blue being more subdued . Then it might not clash as hard with the grungy look of Morrowind.

I like the fact that it clashes, Snow Elves aren't exactly from around here, you know? :P

Should have some playing with this. Might even tackle the Great Tribe of Bear as a Snow Elf.

Very nice but the skin colour is a bit much neon bright to my taste, she strike me more as a "blue lagoon" elf than one from snow or ice lineage, a lighter and paler blue like the ice caves of Solstheim may do the trick.

Also could you try different shades of blue in the hair instead of grey, her hair remind me strongly of http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=6817 and their earthly origin, as opposed as the watery feeling your snow elf give.

What are this race special abilities ( weakness, power, etc.)?

Still they are your mod so do as you feel.

I thought of that, I even considered making them transparent like ice, but I like the bright light blue. The males are a darker blue, fyi. I'll post screens of them later.

I agree, they are from an ice cave after all. They shouldn't fit in =p

I like the neon color, and that blue lagoon picture you're getting is what I meant by it.

As for the hair, I plan on making them white, instead of gray, but definitely not another color. They are "snow" elves after all =p

They have Two Powers as of now.
Frozken spell of the Ice Queen:
Paralyze 10ft 30sec on Target
Frost Damage 10 ft 30sec 5magnitude on Target

Elven Frost:
Frost Damage 30sec 10 magnitude
Weakness to Frost 30 sec, 1-100 Magintude.

I'll add more spells and stuff in, don't worry.

What does that do? It says it replaces the animations?

And I suppose I could do that. It'll be the last thing I do though. I may also add streaks of blue into the hair.

no, it fixes the hands and has a smoother figure while standing. you hardly notice the difference except the hands.

i love new race mods. i really look forward this one! you use westlys and cappuccines hi-rez-texes? these are resource for credit as well iirc. it is in the readme.

and your screen is a bit dark but it seems to me that the ears are a bit darker than the face. i like the colour of the skin very much, the neon blue, you definitely should try to match the ears, even if this means that the texture is actually brighter than the skin. :)

Nope, these are the stock BB textures. Imo they look fine, so I'm not gunna bother upgrading those. I used some of Ren's Faces and Hairs from Ren's Beauty Shop, BB meshes and textures, but that's it.

And Alright, it's always hard for me to match them right. I'll get it though. Thanks for the feedback :D
And thank you for you're opinion, I think it looks quite nice myself.

just noticed that they have not the usual balance of 310 stat points. is there a reason for this? i just wonder because the rest seems really good balanced like the feats and the powers.

310 was what it was supposed to be? Whupps, I thought it was 400. I'll get that sorted out, thanks!

All the vanilla races have a total of 310, yes. Not that I object to modded ones having more, but 400 is a little much, perhaps.

okay. the boys are some sort of fighter and the girls are the caster, yes? the difference between the genders is quite much but that's completely okay. usually they don't differ that much, but this is just a notice, no reason to change.









those poor unlucky girls :(

:D

Hmm, it's more along the lines of the men are manual labor while the women stand over them with whips kinda deal.

But, the way you put it also works.

whips? then they should have more agility. you don't need to differ every stat, you could give them both 40 for agility and luck. just a suggestion.

Well I didn't mean literally :spotted owl:

The theme of the race is that the females are the dominant gender, much like the Drow of R.A. Salvatore's books. Same concept, except they're blue.

yeah, that came to my mind in the first place. but if you want them to be a bit alike i would give them these stats (just a suggestion for new input as always :)):

Str:40/40 ->men are physically stronger but the girls are the dominating part, so give them both 40
Int:35/40 ->men are not allowed becoming as smart as the girls (and just start a revolution)
Will:25/45 ->the man have no b*lls but the girls have the will to rule
End:50/30 ->but after all they are girls
Luck:40/40 ->they would have not come that far if they are unlucky
Per:35/40 ->the girls are proud and upstanding, makes them more charismatic, but both genders are elves after all
Agil:40/40 ->both genders are fierce fighters
Sp:45/35 ->are the man taller? then they have longer legs and are quicker
310/310

just play around with it until it fits your ideas... ;)
