General Rules
- No Fortify/Restoration looping
- No forbidden mods (That give players advantage) (If you are new to this, send me your mod list)
-Dynamic Difficulty (Player's Choice ith the following consequences:
Legendary score x 1.25
Master score x 1.0
Expert score x 0.75
Adept score x 0.5
Apprentice x 0.25
Novice = no score)
- No reloading previous saves even if character did not die (unless a glitch occurred)
- No map based fast travel
- Once in Helgen Keep, DiD rules apply (You must go through the cart cutscene!)
- No follower/trainer exploit
- Companions limited to one companion and a dog
(Quest companions like Serana and Barabus have to be taken directly to their quest
destination with minimal side trips.)
- Update at least once every 3 days (If you can)
-If a Player's character dies, he may raise a new character (to be known as a zombie?) and if that character dies a new character may be raised (a wraith?) and so on. At the competitions' end, the highest character score attained (minus penalties) will determine the player's position at the finish line.
Rules Specific to Competition 7
This round is essentially designed to get players to make difficult choices with each decision having considerable consequence for gameplay.
The player will have the option to choose no more than five skills (only one of which may be a craft - i.e. Smithing, Alchemy, or Enchanting) which will be his/her "core skills". Throughout the competition, these will be the only skills that the player can perk, receive training in, or raise skill level without consequence.
There will be a two point skill raise buffer to reduce penalty from incidental skill increase by reading a skill book, or getting training as a reward for a quest. In other words you can raise any skill two points, but on the third raise you will incur a penalty.
Skill raises will be determined against racial scores at starting. Example: if a Wood Elf has a starting skill of 25 in Archery, and Archery is not in his core, he will start receiving penalties at skill level 28 for Archery.
(if you are not familiar with racial starting levels, http://uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Races is a good page on the subject. This is the page that will be used to determine starting values.
Penalty will be applied per skill increase at the rate of -1,000 per skill level raise for non-craft non-core skills and -2,000 per skill level raised for non-core craft skills.
As a final note, I am going to suppose you all know the difference between normal use of a skill and spamming a skill to get level increases. Spamming skills is just a cheat/exploit of the system, and I am going to presume your momma raised you better. If you don't know what spamming a skill is, imagine standing in knee-deep water casting "Waterbreathing" over and over again... or casting "muffle" every 10 seconds until you run out of magicka.
On that subject, in order to minimize possible skill spamming, it will not be permissible to make skills legendary.
The competition will last for a total of 14 days starting at: Midnight Pacific Time October 2nd / October 3rd and ending at: Midnight Pacific Time October 16th / October 17th.
