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 1128 Views
Only possible idea Jacob - 09/12/2011 06:34:39 PM 1333 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 546 Views

True... Jacob - 13/12/2011 07:14:06 PM 1401 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 1000 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 541 Views
You can, I have done this. *NM* Dan - 10/12/2011 12:02:37 AM 543 Views
I can usually get three or four fireballs off A Deathwatch Guard - 10/12/2011 12:37:15 AM 972 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 528 Views
huh, good point A Deathwatch Guard - 11/12/2011 01:08:43 AM 974 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 497 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 511 Views
They do if you have impact and dual casting. *NM* Aemon - 13/12/2011 02:48:44 PM 475 Views
Not really A Deathwatch Guard - 13/12/2011 10:41:45 PM 892 Views
yah that's the main reason i have no companion when i run around LadyLorraine - 14/12/2011 12:09:02 AM 925 Views
I think companions are a clever ruse by Bethesda A Deathwatch Guard - 14/12/2011 03:17:09 AM 974 Views
? You guys are crazy. Just get a companion, and forget about 'em. They catch up. beetnemesis - 14/12/2011 01:23:29 PM 1041 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 526 Views
I dunno about that... A Deathwatch Guard - 16/12/2011 02:45:05 AM 954 Views
Why not just use the console to add carrying capacity to yourself? Aemon - 14/12/2011 02:45:18 PM 1455 Views
Surprisingly, console commands seem like "cheating" while mods with "features" don't. Zalis - 14/12/2011 03:10:07 PM 1089 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 479 Views
Excellently put! *NM* MonCul - 14/12/2011 11:33:08 PM 488 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 1040 Views
Like Zalis said, console commands feel cheap A Deathwatch Guard - 16/12/2011 02:51:40 AM 1052 Views
Re: Like Zalis said, console commands feel cheap Aemon - 16/12/2011 03:25:48 PM 1053 Views
My reasoning makes perfect sense--to me. A Deathwatch Guard - 16/12/2011 05:11:26 PM 966 Views
Well fine then! Aemon - 16/12/2011 05:35:50 PM 1180 Views
Sure they do, but the point remains. Jacob - 10/12/2011 07:43:57 PM 1337 Views
My Ice Form has glitched twice. MightyYT - 15/12/2011 04:36:46 AM 939 Views
That is too bad. Jacob - 15/12/2011 02:18:43 PM 1278 Views

Anybody know a retraining pc mod. Roland00 - 10/12/2011 02:31:51 AM 1017 Views
Heh, I was just looking into that this morning. beetnemesis - 10/12/2011 12:46:42 PM 1159 Views
Have you tried this one? Roland00 - 10/12/2011 03:50:29 PM 1156 Views
