I'm so sad that spell damage doesn't scale in Skyrim beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 09/12/2011 06:01:16 PM
For those not in the know, the first "tier" of Destruction spells in Skyrim are all short range, "flamethrower" type spells. That is, hold down the button (or both, for double-spell action) and you spew out a stream of fire, lightning, or cold.

It's a lot of fun.

Unfortunately, as I'm beginning to discover now that I've hit level 10, the spells have a flat damage rate. Flames are 8 damage per second, no matter how high your level is, or how much you've trained in the Destruction school.


Guess I'll have to start using Firebolt, sigh...

(Alhough what IS fun is casting Fire RUNE- a booby trap that barely affects me, due to 50% racial fire resistence plus some neat flame-resistent boots. So if a bear gets up all in my face I'm just "BOOM, you just got RUNED.";)
I amuse myself.

On the topic of perks... Fox and Ravens - 09/12/2011 06:23:13 PM 1148 Views
Only possible idea Jacob - 09/12/2011 06:34:39 PM 1358 Views
This is your answer, as far as I can tell. Dragonbone is on top of the Light Armor branch. *NM* Zalis - 09/12/2011 08:35:33 PM 559 Views

True... Jacob - 13/12/2011 07:14:06 PM 1431 Views
True, there are those perks. But they apply to all fire spells, or all dual-cast spells, etc beetnemesis - 09/12/2011 09:23:10 PM 1039 Views

Can you enchant Light Armor to make it as effective as no-armor mage robes? *NM* beetnemesis - 09/12/2011 11:58:58 PM 551 Views
You can, I have done this. *NM* Dan - 10/12/2011 12:02:37 AM 561 Views
I can usually get three or four fireballs off A Deathwatch Guard - 10/12/2011 12:37:15 AM 991 Views
Fireball splash damage doesn't hurt you. Walk up to a wall and blast it; no damage. *NM* Aemon - 10/12/2011 10:33:38 PM 538 Views
huh, good point A Deathwatch Guard - 11/12/2011 01:08:43 AM 998 Views
True enough. Can't you tell them to hold their ground, though? I've never used one so I dunno. *NM* Aemon - 11/12/2011 04:08:31 AM 513 Views
I wish the fireball explosions did knockback, ie sent enemies flying, that would be so much cooler *NM* mogi67 - 13/12/2011 06:52:57 AM 518 Views
They do if you have impact and dual casting. *NM* Aemon - 13/12/2011 02:48:44 PM 484 Views
Not really A Deathwatch Guard - 13/12/2011 10:41:45 PM 924 Views
yah that's the main reason i have no companion when i run around LadyLorraine - 14/12/2011 12:09:02 AM 948 Views
I think companions are a clever ruse by Bethesda A Deathwatch Guard - 14/12/2011 03:17:09 AM 1008 Views
? You guys are crazy. Just get a companion, and forget about 'em. They catch up. beetnemesis - 14/12/2011 01:23:29 PM 1063 Views
Lydia has been parked in my house ever since I got her. I prefer going solo in both NV and Skyrim. *NM* Zalis - 14/12/2011 02:14:17 PM 542 Views
I dunno about that... A Deathwatch Guard - 16/12/2011 02:45:05 AM 984 Views
Why not just use the console to add carrying capacity to yourself? Aemon - 14/12/2011 02:45:18 PM 1489 Views
Surprisingly, console commands seem like "cheating" while mods with "features" don't. Zalis - 14/12/2011 03:10:07 PM 1115 Views

It's compensating for game design that doesn't agree with you. Not cheating, as far as I'm concerned *NM* lord-of-shadow - 14/12/2011 10:49:19 PM 489 Views
Excellently put! *NM* MonCul - 14/12/2011 11:33:08 PM 496 Views
that's how I usually think of it. I never use cheating to OP my characters LadyLorraine - 15/12/2011 01:24:43 AM 1094 Views
Like Zalis said, console commands feel cheap A Deathwatch Guard - 16/12/2011 02:51:40 AM 1085 Views
Re: Like Zalis said, console commands feel cheap Aemon - 16/12/2011 03:25:48 PM 1070 Views
My reasoning makes perfect sense--to me. A Deathwatch Guard - 16/12/2011 05:11:26 PM 1017 Views
Well fine then! Aemon - 16/12/2011 05:35:50 PM 1206 Views
Sure they do, but the point remains. Jacob - 10/12/2011 07:43:57 PM 1361 Views
My Ice Form has glitched twice. MightyYT - 15/12/2011 04:36:46 AM 979 Views
That is too bad. Jacob - 15/12/2011 02:18:43 PM 1297 Views

Anybody know a retraining pc mod. Roland00 - 10/12/2011 02:31:51 AM 1065 Views
Heh, I was just looking into that this morning. beetnemesis - 10/12/2011 12:46:42 PM 1181 Views
Have you tried this one? Roland00 - 10/12/2011 03:50:29 PM 1177 Views
