This d100 based conversion of The Elder Scrolls video game series is intended to be a tactically intense tabletop game played on a hex grid map. Conversion to a square grid map is possible, put would take more effort than I want to put into it. The use of combat miniatures will make for a more immersive experience but is not required. All stats, spells, items, and perks are based off of TES Skyrim with some additions and modifications.

Standard d100 Instructions:Standard d100 Instructions:Standard d100 Instructions:Standard d100 Instructions:

This conversion is a d100 base tabletop role playing game. That means you will need at least two d10 dice, preferably in different colors. Identify

one d10 as the “tens” dice, and another different looking one as the “ones” dice. Every task will have a chance of succeeding ranging from 0 –

100%, to succeed roll your two dice, multiply the result “tens” dice by ten and add the “ones” dice result, and compare vs. the roll’s Target:

•If the result is less than the Target, the roll succeeds.

•If the result is the same as the Target, or less by up to a certain amount called the critical range, the roll is a critical success.

•If the result is greater than the Target, the roll fails.

•The Target will depend on the Skill related to the task you are attempting, and often some situational modifiers. If something has a 25% chance of

succeeding, your Target is 25. Please see the Skill pages for descriptions of Targets and Critical Ranges for various tasks.

•Sometimes a Target will be greater than 100. In this case, the roll is trivial and success is guaranteed. Still roll the dice to determine if there is a

critical success: add normal critical range + amount target is greater than 100. Then subtract this number from 100, the roll will be critical success if

greater than the result.

Example: Target = 135 for a roll with critical range of 5. 135 – 100 = 35, 35 + 5 = 40, 100 – 40 = 60. So this roll will be a critical

success on any roll greater than 60.

WhatWhatWhatWhat’’’’s New in This System:s New in This System:s New in This System:s New in This System:

•Perks: An attempt has been made to include every single skill perk from TES Skyrim. However, many perks have been slightly modified to work

more easily with rolling dice and a hex grid, while keeping the basic functionality the same. Also, compared with Skyrim, there are three new skills:

Notice, Lore, and Survival, these all have brand new Perk trees.

•Combat Momentum: This mechanic solves two common problems with role playing systems: 1. Low level players not being able to hit opponents

often, 2. Combatants often remaining stationary during combat, which is contrary to the feel of combat in TES Skyrim (and real life, for that matter).

Once this system is mastered, each combat should have the exciting feel of a fencing match, with opponents striving to out-maneuver each other

around the battlefield, waiting for a critical error in order to move in for the kill. Please see the Momentum section of page 5 and the Combat

Movement chart on page 6 for details.

•Notice Skill in Combat: Not only does Notice allow players to spot hidden opponents, objects, and traps, like in most systems, it is also used to

react to opponent’s actions in combat. Many perks related to the Notice Skill allow for greater flexibility on the battlefield, combined with the

Combat Momentum system, these perks can have a dramatic effect on melee combat.

•Physical Damage Types: In Skyrim the difference between blunt, slashing, and piercing weapons only is relevant for some Perks and weapon

stats. In this conversion, the Damage Type distinction also affects critical range, what kind of power attacks do the most damage, and some armor

and creature resistances.

Experience and LevelingExperience and LevelingExperience and LevelingExperience and Leveling

From play testing, keeping track of each individual skill’s experience in a tabletop setting is overly time consuming and causes players to

level too slowly for enjoyment. However, maintaining a skill – use based experience system is vital for the feel of The Elder Scrolls.

Other d100 systems force you to roll against your current skill to level the skill, however that seems too random in this application.

Therefore:

•Each successful use of any skill will provide between 1 to 10 Experience Points (XP). Please see skill pages for specifics.

•If a skill has been used in the player’s current level, he may upgrade the skill by turning in the requisite number of experience.

Experience required to upgrade all skills is as follows:

16 – 30: 10XP 31-40: 15XP 41-50: 20XP 51-60: 25XP

61 - 70: 30XP 71-80: 35XP 81-90: 40XP 91-100: 50XP

Bennies, poker chips, are other small items are recommended to keep track of current unspent XP. Again, XP may only be spent on

skills used during the current level.

•After a set amount of skill upgrades (SKU’s), the character will automatically level up. The number of skill upgrades needed to level is:

Current level +3. I.E., to level from level 10 to level 11 will require 14 SKU’s.

•On levelup, the player may choose any perk he is qualified to take from a skill he has used this level, as well as gain 10 total points in

any combination of Health, Stamina, and Magicka.

Creating a CharacterCreating a CharacterCreating a CharacterCreating a CharacterAll starting skills, powers, and available races are per TES Skyrim standard except for the following:

•New skill Notice: All races start with 15, except for Khajit (+10 bonus), and Redguard (+5 bonus)

•New skill Lore: All races start with 15, except for Altmer (+10 bonus), and Imperial (+5 bonus)

•New skill Survival: All races start with 15, except for Bosmer (+10 bonus), and Argonian (+5 bonus)

•New lesser power Bosmer: Drawing an arrow is a Minor action instead of a Major action.

•Racial crafting knowledge: Please see Smithing page for details

•Hearing range: Please see Notice page for details

•Starting spells: Characters may either choose up to two Novice level spells, or an extra 3 SKU’s for each spell not taken.

•Starting septims and level is up to the GM’s discretion. A reasonably unlabored start to the game would be starting at level 5 (22 SKU’s,

40 extra H/S/M, 4 perks), along with 200 starting septims.

Facing DirectionFacing DirectionFacing DirectionFacing DirectionA combatant is facing the direction parallel to his last

space of movement during the Movement phase of his

turn. A combatant automatically will turn to face the

target of an attack or spell, this is considered a free

action.

MomentumMomentumMomentumMomentumA combatant has momentum in the direction parallel to his last space of movement. A

combatant may spend one space of movement to cancel momentum or change momentum

towards an adjacent unoccupied space, may be done either in the Movement Phase or as a

Minor Action. Momentum has an important effect on hitting an opponent in combat. Please

see combat movement table.

Combat InitiativeCombat InitiativeCombat InitiativeCombat Initiative

Turn order in combat is determined by drawing cards

from a standard 52 card deck + Jokers, similar to the

Savage Worlds system. Higher cards go first, with

spades > hearts > diamonds > clubs. Jokers always go

first, and provide an extra 10% hit chance for melee and

ranged attacks, plus a bonus 5 damage to all hits.

Unlike Savage Worlds, do not shuffle the deck after a

Joker is drawn.

Keeping Track of Health/Stamina/MagickaKeeping Track of Health/Stamina/MagickaKeeping Track of Health/Stamina/MagickaKeeping Track of Health/Stamina/Magicka

In order to not bog down gameplay, it is highly

recommended to use color coded markers to track

current H/S/M for all combatants. One convenient way

to do this is with red, green, and blue poker chips: each

poker chip is worth 10 points. If you wish for a more

deadly game, you could round all damage taken during

a combat round up to the nearest increment of 10,

otherwise keep track of single units of H/S/M with a

single d10 placed on top of the stack.

1 Turn = Movement +

1 Major Action + 2 Minor Actions OR

4 Minor Actions OR

1 Extended Action

Up to 1 Minor Action may be Held.

Page 7: Elder Scrolls Tt Rpg

Why Feint?

Normally, intentionally putting yourself in a position that has a negative modifier is not a good idea. However, if you have allies in melee range of your enemy this may set up the next player for a very nice hit. Also, the Notice perks “Trickster” and “Bait and Switch” make these maneuvers worth doing even if you are by yourself.

Weapon DamageWeapon DamageWeapon DamageWeapon DamageUnlike many other systems, weapon damage is fixed: each weapon or spell strikes for the same number of points on each hit, except for

a critical or a power attack.

Damage = Weapon Base x (1+0.5 x Skill%) x (1 + Perks) + Effects + Ammunition (if ranged)

Ways to increase your damage include improving your weapon using the Smithing skill, increasing your Weapon Skill, buying damage

increase Perks, and using better Ammunition if doing a Ranged Attack. Power Attacks and Critical Success both double damage dealt, so

a Critical Success Power Attack would be Damage x 4. All physical damage is categorized as Blunt, Slashing, or Piercing.

Damage ReductionDamage ReductionDamage ReductionDamage ReductionAll physical damage is reduced by the Damage Reduction percentage (DR), before being applied to a target. For examples, a DR of 25%

means that 25% of incoming damage is blocked by the armor, so every hit would be multiplied by 75%.

DR = (Total Armor Rating + Number of Pieces equipped x 25) / 10. DR has a hard cap of 80%, any armor rating over this amount is

wasted.

Armor rating for each piece = Base x (1+0.4 x Skill%) x (1+Perks) + Effects. Please see Heavy and Light Armor Skill pages for examples.

Elemental and poison damage are not mitigated by DR, instead these types of damage use Resistance Ratings.

Damage Resistance RatingsDamage Resistance RatingsDamage Resistance RatingsDamage Resistance RatingsFire, Frost, Poison, Disease, and Magic all have separate Resistance Ratings. Similar to DR, each rating is a percentage that reduces

the damage before applied. Resistance is a bit simpler to calculate however.

Resistance Rating = Permanent Resistance + Temporary Resistance

•Permanent Resistance, choose one of the following: Racial bonuses, armor set bonuses, or enchanted items total.

•Temporary Resistance, choose one of the following: Potion bonuses or Alteration spell bonuses.

•Magic Resistance rating not only reduces damage, but also provides a bonus to resist non-damaging magical effects (such as Paralyze).

In these cases, if the spell resist roll is an Opposed check, the rating is added to your opponents roll. If there would not normally be a

check (such as with Petrify) simply roll d100 vs. Target = rating to try to resist.

•Wards are Restoration spells that reduce damage magical taken without effecting Resistance Ratings. Instead, they directly absorb a

number of points of damage before being extinguished.

Blocking Damage ReductionBlocking Damage ReductionBlocking Damage ReductionBlocking Damage ReductionPhysical damage can be Blocked by a shield as well as being reduced by normal DR. This requires the defender to 1. Have an equipped

shield, 2. Be in the Blocking combat state. Blocking DR ranges from 50% to around 85% and is applied before applying normal DR. So

when blocking:

Damage taken = Damage dealt x (1 – Blocking DR) x (1 – DR) 8

Page 9: Elder Scrolls Tt Rpg

Combat StatesCombat StatesCombat StatesCombat StatesNote: Skill perks will override the following text as applicable.

-BLOCKING-When a combatant is blocking: Movement is halved, Notice checks -15, cannot perform Major or Extended actions, cannot Sprint, any

physical hit sustained from a 180° frontal arc will initiate a Block Event.

-FEARED-Cannot take any major or minor action except for moving away from enemies at full pace (non-sprinting). If movement away from

enemies is impossible, will become Paralyzed for duration of fear.

-FROZEN-Half movement, cannot Sprint, no Stamina regen.

-KNOCKED DOWN-When a combatant is knocked down, they cannot move or take any major or minor actions for the remainder of the round. At the

beginning of the next round, the combatant is upgraded to Staggered state.

-STAGGERED-When a combatant is staggered, the can move at 1/2 movement. Staggered characters may not block, cast sustained spells, or shout.

Staggering an opponent has a 25% chance to disarm them. Characters may spend a Major Action to Unstagger.

-SNEAKING-While sneaking, Movement is halved, Notice checks +15, cannot sprint. Enemies must pass an opposed Notice check (+ Sneak

modifiers) to detect. If detected, the Hidden meter is set at 0% and the enemy will attack. While sneaking, the Hidden meter increases by

10 each combat round not in line of sight of an enemy. Backstabbing and Pickpocketing in combat is allowed if the Hidden meter > 50.

Please see sneak Modifiers and Outcomes Table on the Sneak skill page.

-SPRINTING-Movement is doubled, drains Stamina by 10 points/turn if wearing no armor, 15 points/turn if wearing any light armor, 20 points/turn if

wearing any heavy armor. A combatant cannot normally take any other actions while sprinting.

-PARALYZED-Cannot move or speak, may not take any actions except for Notice. At the end of the duration of the Paralyze state, combatant is

upgraded to Staggered state.

-ON FIRE, POISONED-Take damage at the beginning of every round. Amount of damage and number of rounds is dependent on specific fire or poison effect.

Combat Example: Sam the Strong vs. the WolfCombat Example: Sam the Strong vs. the WolfCombat Example: Sam the Strong vs. the WolfCombat Example: Sam the Strong vs. the Wolf

Wolf

Sam the Strong

Wolf’s Turn:1. Movement: The wolf moves in to attack!

2. Declare Attack:

1. The wolf declares a Power Attack (Major Action) on Sam, spends 30 STA.

2-4. Sam is already is in Blocking state, so decides not to Respond.

5. Since the wolf is already in a good combat position, it does not Follow.

6. The wolf is in Lunge position and has One Handed of 35,

so its Target to hit Sam is 35 + 50 = 85.

7. The wolf rolls for the attack: 77. 77 < 85 so Success.

8. Damage is dealt. Wolf’s claws do a base damage of 7, so damage dealt =

7 x (1+ 0.4 x 0.35) rounded up = 8 damage, 16 for power attack.

Sam has Blocking DR = 70%, and regular DR = 35%, so he takes

Damage = 16 x (1 – 0.70) x (1 – 0.35) = 3 damage.

9. Check for Stagger, since the wolf Power Attacked. Stagger roll is 53,

which is > 50, so Sam is not Staggered.

Sam the Strong laughs at the wolf’s pitiful attempt to damage him. The wolf did not use all of its actions, so it has a Held Action.

1

A DA DA D

Sam the Strong’s Turn:

1. Movement: Sam looks at the Combat Movement chart and

realizes he is in Cleave position for +70, so does not move.

2. Declare Attack:

1. Sam cannot Power Attack since he is blocking, so he does a normal attack.

2. The Wolf declares Responding and turns in its Held Action.

3. Sam could spend an Action and 10 Stamina to attempt an interrupt, however his

Notice is fairly low, so he chooses not make the attempt.

4. The Wolf changes its momentum towards an empty hex as

shown. Sam is now at Dodge position, which is -30 to attack.

5. Sam could attempt to Follow to change the situation, however

he has a clever plan to get that pesky wolf, so he lets the Dodge stand.

6. Sam is using a mace with One Handed skill = 42, so his Target is 42-30=12

7. Sam rolls for the attack: 36. 36>12 so Miss.

3-4. Sam still has 3 Minor Actions left, and decides to take 2 Move Actions:

1. He moves into the hex that the wolf is moving toward to cut it off.

2. He spends a Move Action to stop his momentum. Now he is back in the

Cleave Position!

5. With his last Minor Action, Sam declares another Melee attack.

2-5. The wolf has spent its Held Action, so it may not Respond.

6. This time his Target is 42 + 70 = 112, which is a guaranteed success. Sam knows

that his Critical Range is now 12 + 2 = 14, so any roll above an 86 will be a critical.

7. Sam rolls a 88, Critical success!

8. Damage is dealt. Sam’s mace has a base damage of 16 and he has the 20% perk,

so damage dealt = 16 x (1+ 0.4 x 0.42) x (1 + 0.2) = 22, doubled from the crit is 44.

Beasts do not have armor, so the wolf takes the full 44 damage, and is killed.

•Equipping a shield provides a bonus to total Armour Rating and thereby Damage Reduction, however to block attacks you must initiate Blocking state.

•Initiating Blocking requires a Minor action, and incurs a 50% movement penalty, as well as preventing the use of Major or Extended actions, Sprinting, and incurs a 15% penalty to Notice.

•Any melee blows that hit a Blocking combatant are greatly reduced in damage (see example). A blocked melee hit costs 10 stamina to the Blocking combatant.

•The Power Bash perk unlocks the Shield Bash Minor action, which allows you to damage opponents with your shield while attacking. To Shield Bash an opponent, pay 20 stamina and roll vs. Block + combat movement modifiers. A successful shield bash will Stagger an opponent and do half of your shield’s base Armour Rating in damage. A critical hit (range 2) will Knockdown an opponent.

•Ranged attacks and spells may not normally be blocked.

•Blocking a hit as well as Power Bashing both grant 1XP.

Blocking DR = (shield base x (1 + 0.4 x skill (%))/10

+ 50) x (1 + Perks) / 100

Example: Sam the Stout is blocking with an Orcish

shield with base rating 30, and has 50 blocking skill as

well as the Rank 2 Shield Wall perk. So his Blocking

DR = (30 x (1 + 0.4 x 0.5)/10 + 50) x 1.25 / 100 = 69%

Our friendly GM will round to the nearest 5%, so when

Sam blocks 70% of any damage will be taken off the

top before the normal armor DR calculation.

Grinding Out That Heavy Metal:Grinding Out That Heavy Metal:Grinding Out That Heavy Metal:Grinding Out That Heavy Metal:

Heavy Armour is, well, heavy; as well as being expensive, noisy, restrictive, and not as sexy as those strappy leather getups. However, when facing several large attacking barbarians, there is nothing quite like the feeling of thirty pounds of solid steel between you and pointy death. Examples of Heavy Armour styles are Iron, Steel, Dwarven, Orcish, Ebony, and Daedric.

•Heavy Armour typically provides 25% more protection than equivalent light armour pieces. Additionally, Heavy Armour perks can allow the user to take less damage falling, do more unarmed damage, and reflect melee damage.

•Disadvantages to wearing Heavy Armour vs. Light are:

•Heavier and more movement penalties

•More noisy and difficult for sneaking

•Perk tree is larger and the weightless perk (Conditioning) is more difficult to achieve than the equivalent Light Armour perk.

•Uses more stamina when sprinting

•Armour does not normally provide protection against poison or magical attacks, this can be mitigated by Enchantment.

•All armour can be improved at a Smithy. You can either hire a blacksmith to improve your armour or attempt to improve it yourself (via Smithing skill).

•Any hit mitigated by Heavy Armour provides 1XP.

Armor Damage Reduction Calculation:

Damage Reduction% = (Armor Rating+25 x (# of pieces equipped))/10

Armor Rating = Sum of Piece Ratings

Piece Rating = Base x (1+0.4 x skill(%))x(1+perks) + effects

Example: Sam the Strong has skill 60 and rank 4 perks as well as the Well

Fitted perk, and decides to wear full Plate Steel and a shield.

Cuirass: 40 x (1 + 0.4 x 0.60) x (1.8) x (1.25) = 90 piece rating

Assuming gauntlet AR = 36, boot AR = 23, helmet AR = 30, shield AR = 40:

Armor Rating = 90 + 36 + 23 + 30 + 40 = 219

Damage Reduction = (219 + 25 x 5)/10 = 34%

Our friendly GM will round to the nearest 5%, so any physical damage

coming at Sam will be reduced by 35%.

So, YouSo, YouSo, YouSo, You’’’’re the Crafty Type:re the Crafty Type:re the Crafty Type:re the Crafty Type:

•Smithing skill is used to craft weapons, armour, ammunition, lockpicks, and many mundane items. To craft an item you will need access to the appropriate tools (e.g. a forgefor metalworking), as well as knowledge of the crafting Recipe.

•Recipes may be learned by apprenticing with craftsman as well granted through racial knowledge. For example, all Orcs are taught the secrets of crafting Orcish armour by their parents (it is a boring childhood). Relevant perks are still required.

•Learning a Recipe: You must find a craftsman with knowledge of the desired materials, and apprentice with them for at least 1 day. At the end of the day, you may roll vs. Smithing +50 for each recipe to learn any recipes of the category you have been studying.

•Each Recipe includes specific tools and materials as well as time to create the item. To craft, roll vs. Smithing + modifiers: Success = item crafted, Failure by 20 or less = item crafted in twice duration, Failure by more than 20 = item crafted in twice duration with twice the materials. A critical success (range 3) will provide an item enhancement per the GM’s discretion.

•All weapons and armour may be improved by (Current Smithing/2)% x (Perk). Improving a weapon or armour piece requires 1 hour and appropriate tools and materials. Roll vs. Smithing + 30: success = item improved, failure = item not improved.

•Crafting or improving metallic objects requires access to a forge as well as refined ingots of the relevant type. Ingots can either be purchased or refined from ore at a Smelter, which can be found in most large cities and near many mines. Most blacksmiths are happy to rent access to their forge during non-work hours for a small fee.

•All crafting grants 1XP per hour spent, whether in making items, improving items, or apprenticing, up to 10XP per day.

•Dragon Armour? Preposterous… dragons haven’t existed in hundreds of years!

•The Survival skill encompasses all of those time honored ways tostay fed, warm, and dry outside of the confines of civilization.Practically, this means hunting, fishing, foraging, making camp,and enduring natural hardship.

•Once a day while outside of towns or cities, at least one party member must make a Survival Wilderness roll. Results of the roll determine how much food is found by the party, how well they arerested, and if any unexpected finds come their way.

•Besides the daily Wilderness roll, Survival rolls can be made for additional hunting, fishing, foraging, etc in order to gather food and crafting materials.

•Each locale of Tamriel has its own selection of flora, fauna, and geology. It is a good idea to have knowledge of what is locallyavailable before spending time searching for something specific.

•The minimum time spent to make a Survival roll is 2 hours. Eachadditional hour spent during daylight adds a +10 bonus.

•Each day spent in the wilds automatically grants 2XP.

Picking Your Poison:Picking Your Poison:Picking Your Poison:Picking Your Poison:

•Alchemy can only be performed at designated Alchemy Labs, each potion crafting attempt requires 10 minutes.

•To create a potion (or poison) you must combine two or more ingredients which share a magical effect. If the shared effect is a beneficial one (e.g., Restore Health), you create a potion; if the shared effect is a negative one (e.g. Damage Health), you create a poison. Multiple-effect potions can be created if the combined ingredients share more than one effect in common.

•Each ingredient has a total of four available effects. Tasting the ingredient always allows you to discover an ingredient's first effect. Additional effects can be discovered by experimenting to see what ingredient combinations successfully yield potions. You can simply mix ingredients randomly together.

•There are five tiers of potions and poisons. Each tier requires substantially greater skill to craft (see table below). To create a potion roll vs. skill x (1-perk). A critical success (range 5) creates a potion one tier higher than attempted.

•The effects of multiple Fortify style potions do not stack.

•Alchemical suppliers generally receive new shipments once per week.

•Successfully creating a potion or poison grants 2XP the first time you create it, and then 1XP for each subsequent batch.

•Eating a new ingredient to discover its effect grants 1XP.

•Different regions and cities of the Empire provide different styles of light armour. Some examples are fur, leather, scale, chainmail, studded leather, Elven, Imperial (light), and Glass.

•All styles of light armour share the following advantages vs. heavy armour:

•Lighter and less movement penalties

•Less noisy and easier for sneaking

•Perk Unhindered (weightless) is available 20 skill points earlier than Conditioning.

•Uses less stamina when sprinting

•Stamina recovers faster with Wind Walker

•The lighter weight allows for the carrying of multiple suits of armor, each fine tuned for specific enemies and situations, without drastically taking up encumbrance.

•Fully mastering the Light Armour tree requires two fewer perks over Heavy Armour (10 total points versus 12), allowing for more growth in other skill trees.

•These advantages come at the cost of brute protection, typical equivalent level light armour pieces have 25% less protection than their heavy counterparts.

•Armour does not normally provide protection against poison or magical attacks, this can be mitigated by Enchantment.

•All armour can be improved at a Smithy. You can either hire a blacksmith to improve your armour or attempt to improve it yourself (via Smithing skill).

•Any hit mitigated by Light Armour provides 1XP.

Armor Damage Reduction Calculation:

%Damage Reduction = (Armor Rating+25 x (# of pieces equipped))/10

Armor Rating = Sum of Piece Ratings

Piece Rating = Base x (1+0.4 x skill(%))x(1+perks) + effects

Example: Sonja the Somewhat Red has skill 40 and rank 3 perks, and

is wearing leather cuirass, gauntlets, and boots, but not a helmet.

Cuirass: 26 x (1 + 0.4 x 0.4) x (1.6) = 42 piece rating

Assuming her gauntlet AR = 24 and boot AR = 18,

Armor Rating = 26 + 24 + 18 = 68

Damage Reduction = (68 + 25 x 3)/10 = 14.3%

Our friendly GM will round to the nearest 5%, so Sonja will take 85% of

any physical damage that comes her way.

•Notice is an extremely useful skill that may be used to search for treasure, spot hidden enemies, and respond to opponents’ actions in combat.

•All notice checks are Free actions, however only one notice action may be taken per round (response checks and interrupts do not count). You may take Search minor actions to increase your next notice roll by 20%.

•Instead of Responding to an enemy’s action with a Held Action, the player may spend 10 stamina and pass a Notice check to make a Response.

•Similarly, an attacker may interrupt to attempt to cancel an enemy’s response. This requires an Adverse Opposed Notice roll.

•Searching for treasure attempts to find additional treasure beyond what has already been revealed in a cleared dungeon. May not take Search actions to increase the odds of success when making this roll.

•All successful Notice checks taken with fewer than 4 Search actions grant 1XP.

added to their opponent’s skill check. The lower result wins. In the case of a

Artful Dodging and Other Acts of a Less than Savoury Artful Dodging and Other Acts of a Less than Savoury Artful Dodging and Other Acts of a Less than Savoury Artful Dodging and Other Acts of a Less than Savoury Nature:Nature:Nature:Nature:

•You may make a check vs. current Pickpocket + Notice to gauge a Mark. A successful roll will allow you to assess the Mark’s wealth and possessions.

•Items may either be pickpocketed in sneak by approaching a Mark from behind, or by performing a Bump and Grab. Bumping and Grabbing requires a successful Speech check prior to making the Pickpocket check.

•The chance of successfully pickpocketing an item is dependent upon the item being stolen: Heavier items and more valuable items are harder to steal but reward more XP.

•If you fail, the target will detect you and you will receive a bounty for your current locale. Even if successful, there is also a chance that the target will hire a thug to kill you.

•A bounty will be cancelled if all witnesses to the crime have been eliminated. However, murder is not kindly looked upon by the authorities.

•Pickpocketing in combat requires you to be Sneaking with hidden meter > 50 and to approach the target from behind, and takes an Extended action.

Pickpocket XP = (Item weight x 10 + Item Value x 5 – Current Skill x 10)/10,

round down. Minimum reward is 1 XP, maximum reward is 10 XP per item.

Example: A rather foolish thief with Pickpocket of 25 attempts to steal a steel

sword from a guard. A steel sword has weight of 10 and value of 45, so the

thief would receive (10 x 10 + 45 x 5 – 25 x 10)/10 = 7 XP if successful. If not

successful, the thief would receive a bounty = item value + 10 and could be

caught by the nearest guard.

To Pickpocket an item roll vs. Target:

(Pickpocket – 1*(1+weight/5) – 1*(1+cost/20) + effects)*(1-perks)

•Initiating Sneaking requires a Minor Action and may only be doneout of combat or out of Line of Sight of enemies. Starting to Sneak out of combat in public may cause onlookers to laugh at you and/or alert the nearest guard.

•At the start of every round, Sneaking characters must make a opposed check Sneak vs. opponent's notice + modifiers for all opponents within line of sight or earshot of the Sneaker. Please see modifiers and results table.

•Your success at Sneaking is recorded via the Hidden Meter. The Hidden Meter normally starts at state of 50 out of combat and 0 (detected) in combat.

•A Hidden state of 60 or above allows Backstabbing and Pickpocketing. A Backstab attempt requires an additional opposed detection check and grants 5x damage for daggers, 3x damage for other melee weapons, and 2x damage for ranged attacks.

•Each detection roll that does not decrease the Hidden Meter grants 1XP. Each successful Backstab grants 3XP.

•You may not Backstab with a ballista. Additionally, Backstabbing with pole weapons or spells does not provide bonus damage.

•You may make a Persuasion Opposed Speech roll to increase someone’s opinion of you (or reduce their hostility). Persuasion rolls in combat are Adverse Opposed checks vs. the enemy’s Speech, and will cause the enemy to select another target. A critical success (range 2) will cause the enemy to stop fighting and leave the area.

•All successful Speech skills checks provide 1XP, 2XP on a critical success.

•Performing a Haggling or Persuasion check out of combat with your weapon drawn will incur a -30 penalty.

Turning Stuff Into Other Stuff:Turning Stuff Into Other Stuff:Turning Stuff Into Other Stuff:Turning Stuff Into Other Stuff:

•All Alteration spells are considered passive spells, and are cast via spending a Major Action.

•To cast, roll Alteration skill. Success = spell cast, failure =spell cast with 50% extra magicka cost.

•Spells interrupted via a combat response or by not having enough magicka are not cast, no magicka is spent for interrupted spells.

•Dual cast Alteration spells cost 2-1/2 times normal magicka for 1-1/2 times normal potency, duration, and/or range (Telekinesis).

•Passive skills currently in effect may be recast at a 20% magicka savings.

•Casting Novice and Apprentice level spells grant 1XP, casting Adept and Expert level spells grant 2XP, casting Master level spells grants 5XP. No XP is granted until spell has a real effect on the course of gameplay.

Spell Cost for All Spells: Base x (1-skill%/2) x perks x effects

Example: Melcor the Magnificent dual casts Stoneflesh on himself

which has base cost of 200. Fortunately, he has an Alteration skill of

40 and the Apprentice Alteration perk. So his cost is 200 x (1-40%/2)

x ½ x 2½ (dual) = 200 magicka. Not a cheap casting to be sure, but

since he dual cast and has the Mage Armor Rank 1 perk, he will have

an extra 180 AR (18% DR) for the next 15 combat rounds.

•Restoration magic contains the most sustained spells of any school. Sustained skills are initiated as a free action, must be sustained for at least one minor action, and may be sustained until the caster is out of magicka. Sustained Restoration spells include healing spells, wards, and absorption spells.

•To cast a Sustained spell, roll vs. Skill + 50 + modifiers. A failure means the spell fizzles and cannot be attempted again until nextturn. A critical success (range 5) halves the magicka cost as long as the spell is sustained.

•Sustained spells grant 1XP for every round in which at least oneaction is spent sustaining the spell.

•Dual casting sustained spells costs 3 times the magicka for 2 times the effect.

•Most other Restoration spells are considered Passive and behave exactly like Alteration spells for casting method, dual casting, and XP rewards.

Of Note:Of Note:Of Note:Of Note: Restoration is the only type of magic that most common citizens of Tamriel have had exposure to. If fact, most people do not think of it as magic at all, rather as miracles from Arkay, Mara, or one of the other gods. Needless to say, the clerics do little to clear up this misconception.

BowsBowsBowsBows First perfected by the Elves, bows have been vital tools for hunting and defense from time immemorial. Mastering the bow requires a strong arm, a keen eye, and much patience.

CrossbowsCrossbowsCrossbowsCrossbowsThe introduction of crossbows to the Empire is relatively recent; they were found in Dwarven ruins around the time of The Nerevarine. Since then, they have become popular with mercenaries and paranoid nobles.

SlingsSlingsSlingsSlingsMainly used by farmers and shepherds to fend off predators, slings have the advantage of being able to chuck anything small and roundish at an enemy at high speed.

Very few merchants stock the more exotic ammunition types, these can either be crafted or taken from slain foes.

The most basic form of heavy armor, Iron armor is often crafted by apprentice smiths striving to improve their craft.

Commonly available and offering superior protection, Steel armor is usually the prized possession of up and coming adventurers. Nordic smiths are known for making the best.

The pinnacle of the Nordic smithcraft, Steel Plate armor is sought after by wealthy knights and champions throughout Tamriel.

Bonus: 10% Fire resistance per piece worn,

does not stack with racial abilities or item

enchantments, does stack with potions.

Incredibly rare and expensive, Ebony armor was famously worn by The Nerevarine when she battled the dread lord Dagoth Ur.

Daedric armor is associated with the denizens of Oblivion, and represents the embodiment of fear and darkness for ordinary mortals.

Bonus: Every piece worn adds a 5% chance that

humanoid enemies will flee in terror for 1 round.

Shields are used to mitigate much more damage than can be handled by armor alone, and can be used to stagger and knock down opponents by skilled warriors.
