from my point of view the best mix-in class for a Sorc in D&D ever was and still be:

2 or 3 Pal levels (without a party and capped at L20 just 2)


adding levels of "Arcane Scolar" should be quite powerfull for the later levels:


e.g. an aasimar PAL 2 - SORC 8 - AS 10

...was a strange situation and reproducable. I tried it several times to understand, what and why this happens - but I didn't find any clues. Btw. my character had no bounty and he wasn't involved in this fight in any way.

Two ways?
What are they?

he runs out of magicka and you have more to toast him!

you are right - the complete Umbra equipment weights 186,8

100STR - 30STR(spell) = 70STR x 5 - 100(burden) = 250

...so it would only work with minimum -43 STR and 100 burden - should have a look what you need for that kind of spell...

...so -80 STR AND 100 burden for a few seconds should do it ...

didn't know...

but with (82-30)*5-100 = 160

...ok - 160 might be just enough for a heavy weapon and a few pieces of heavy armor... (most of them aren't all heavy)

...but even umbra (very heavy) wasn't affected by this spell!

absorb magicka - no you can't see it, but you might guess...

...caster will certainly have a good amount at the beginning - fighter not...

...and if magicka is calculated correctly, absorb magicka will hurt caster in two ways!

as I tried it ~L20

why?

I ment "Spell Absorbtion" - sorry for being unclear...

...hmmm...-...so with "Spell Absorbtion" you always get your share of the initial magicka costs?

...does this also work with enchanted weapons?


...and does magic defense also stops effects from enchanted weapons?



...and can you absorb ...

...hmmm...-...but as said, I tried "burden 100 & absorb strength 30 for 10 seconds on touch", what should have a total effect of "burden 250" but even on heavy armored human enemies this doesn't seem to have any effect...

...250 burden, a weight 50 weapon and heavy armor for 200 weight should stop ...

Combined effects: ???

If you have both effects active:

e.g. 100% protection magic: means you won't be affected by any magic effects...

...and also have an effect like e.g. 50% absorb magic, 50% reflect magic or both active...

...can you reflect or absorb spells, that have no effect on you ...

...concerning magic defense:


there are several different magical defense effects available:

- shield
- protection (elemental)
- elemental shield
- protectection (magic)
- absorb magic
- reflect magic



my impression is, that the effects work that way:

- shield: just increase your armor ...

I've been raiding a lot of caves and have found some pretty high dollar stuff I want to sell off, but most of the merchants don't have a ton of gold. Anyone have any recommendations for where to sell stuff in the 1k to 7k range?

for what the hell do you need that much gold?!

I just keep all the ...

Just to point out that silverdragon72 hit the nail on the head. Sacks of grain (the ones that initially hold five of either wheat/rice/corn etc.) never respawn and are safe places to put items in. There's one (at least) in each mages guild, and it's not by coincidence, don't use any in the Bruma ...

try the area south of Bravil, there you should find them if you have the right level (best chance between L12 - L20)

1. as increased skills e.g. destruction should lower the amount of magicka you should need for a spell, I tried to enchant all my armor with "increase skill destruction" - but it doesn't seem to make any diffence if you have a 100 or 150 destruction skill! Anybody knows if this effect is capped at ...

if you want to max yor bonus on levelling, you will need to do some planning:


1. controllable major skills like alchemy - never, athletics, destruction, restoration just blade OR blunt also maximum ONE type of armor! Means no major skills that you can't avoid using permanently)

2. maximum 2 ...

...if there are diffferent - how do you see which oblivion realm you just have entered?

60 Gates to close - that sounds much work! Are they all that large like the first ones?

TG quest - which one is this?

does each levelled item have individual levels - or is there a more or less general level ...

...as there are many spells with a need of 500+ mana...

...and my close to 100 Int L20 breton just reaches about 300 mana - what's the best way to increase mana?



...what is/was your highest mana score ever?



I read somewhere that "varla" (?)-Stones (the white ones) increase your magic ...

...always save 2 times before you exit the game...

...on my PC Oblivion has a good chance to crash, while leaving the game to windows and in this case the last save is always lost - but the 2nd last is almost always (99%) ok!
