Athletics/ Acrobatics skill
Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2011 11:55 pm
So, I'm sure we've all noticed that the residents of modern Tamriel are, how shall I put this? Fat and lazy. Apparently nobody trains in Athletics or Acrobatics anymore, and the end result is that nobody can run very fast, and apparently the Dragonborn is the only person who can jump at all. Why? Maybe the Thalmor banned cardio, who knows? This cannot stand! I propose that we change it, and to that end, I'm going to be making a mod that returns Athletics and Acrobatics to their rightful place in the Pantheon of Skills. The two skills will be merged into one- Athletics- and will be appended to the end of the current Skill list, assuming the CK makes this possible. Presumably, this will also raise the current level cap.
So, if anyone's got any suggestions or requests, here's the place to make them! Right now, this is what I've got brainstormed:
ATHLETICS
This skill represents the player's speed and raw physical conditioning. Characters who are skilled in Athletics can jump higher, swim deeper, and move faster for longer periods of time. The best athletes and acrobats have even been known to perform dazzling aerial tricks in combat, evading blows and catching their opponents unawares!
Trained by Sprinting, Jumping, Swimming, and taking falling damage.
Every level increases movement speed by 0.15%, jump height by 1% (At Level 100, with all perks, this adds up to: +30% movement, +150% jump)
Skill Trainers: Khajiit at caravan stops, Sapphire in the Thieves Guild
To prevent balance issues, nobody gets any racial bonuses.
PERKS
Name of perk (skill level required): description
NEW ITEMS
Five new skill books (any writers?)
Scroll of Icarian Flight: jump height increased by 5000% for 5 seconds.
Boots/ Rings of Speed: leveled enchanted gear that increases movement speed
Boots/ Rings of Acrobatics: leveled enchanted gear that increases jump height
Boots/ Rings of Freerunning: leveled enchanted gear that increases both movement speed and jump height
Black Marsh Rebreather: mask w/ waterbreathing enchantment, easier to find than Dragon Priest gear
Crampon Boots: boots that greatly increase traction and mountain climbing ability, grants player horse-like cliff scaling skills.
Small set of unique artifacts that help speed and jumping
