Version 0.56, WIP

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.

Version 0.56, WIP

The Basics
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 rolls 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.

What Whats 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 opponents 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 Leveling

From play testing, keeping track of each individual skills 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 players 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 (SKUs), 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 SKUs. 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 Character
All 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 SKUs for each spell not taken. Starting septims and level is up to the GMs discretion. A reasonably unlabored start to the game would be starting at level 5 (22 SKUs, 40 extra H/S/M, 4 perks), along with 200 starting septims.

Combat Turn Phases

1. 2. 3. Draw cards for Initiative (see page 6) If this is the first turn of combat, deal Held Actions to all combatants except for the initiative winner. These actions will expire at the beginning of their first turn. Starting with the initiative winner, all players take a turn. 1. Take Movement up to current max Movement. 2. Take up to 4 Minor Actions. 2 Minor Actions may be traded for a Major Action, and 4 Minor Actions may be traded for an Extended Action. Please see next page for available Minor, Major, and Extended Actions. 3. If making a melee Attack, follow Attack sequence below. 4. Up to 1 Minor Action may be Held. Held actions are used to respond to enemies actions are expire at the beginning of the players next turn, and may be used to take any action except for a Melee Attack. Initiative passes to the next combatant until all have taken a turn. Cards are redrawn and the cycle starts again at step 3.

4. 5.

Attack Sequence
1. 2. Attacker declares target that is in an adjacent hex and whether this is a POWER ATTACK. If the Defender has a Held Option, may RESPOND Option A Spend Held Action Option B Spend 10 Stamina and win a Notice check. Attacker has opportunity to INTERRUPT Spend 1 Minor Action and 10 Stamina, win an Adverse Opposed Notice Check. If RESPOND action is successful and not interrupted, Defender may take a Minor action (e.g. move 1 hex in any direction or change momentum). Attacker has opportunity to FOLLOW Spend 1 Minor Action to move 1 hex in any direction or change momentum. Attacker rolls vs. target = skill number + bonus or penalty for each attack. Result < target: hit, Result > target: miss Target Result </= Weapon Crit Range: Critical Hit (2x damage) If result is a hit, Defender loses Health = Damage * (1-D.R.)

Critical Range
Blunt Weapons (maces, clubs, fists, staves, war hammers): 2 Slashing Weapons (axes, scimitars, battleaxes, halberds): 3 Piercing weapons (swords, greatswords, arrows, spears): 5 Daggers: 10 Destruction Spells: 2 If target > 100, then Critical Range is increased by Target -100.

Combat 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/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.

Stamina and Magicka Regenration

Please see the Skill pages for descriptions of skill specific actions.
Stamina and Magicka regenerate 10 points at the beginning of every combat round. Health does not normally regenerate.

Momentum
A 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.

Facing Direction
A 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.

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 Damage
Unlike 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 Reduction
All 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 Ratings

Fire, 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 Reduction

Physical 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)

Combat States
Note: Skill perks will override the following text as applicable. -BLOCKINGWhen 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.

-FEAREDCannot 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.

-FROZENHalf movement, cannot Sprint, no Stamina regen.

-KNOCKED DOWNWhen 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.

-STAGGEREDWhen 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.

-SNEAKINGWhile 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.

-SPRINTINGMovement 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.

-PARALYZEDCannot 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, POISONEDTake 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 Wolf

Wolfs Turn: Wolf
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, 1 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. Wolfs 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.
D A

Sam the Strong

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

Sam the Strongs Turn:

1. Movement: Sam looks at the Combat Movement chart and 1 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. 2 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: 3 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 4 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. Sams 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.

Here, Put This Apple on Your Head...

The Archery skill is used for all ranged weapons in and out of combat. Firing an ranged weapon requires a Draw Action (usually Major) and a Release Action (Minor). Any number of Aim Actions may be taken in between drawing and releasing: each Aim action costs 10 stamina and increases the chance of hitting by +20. Archery Range to target, targets movement, lighting conditions, and cover all effect chance to hit. Please see ranged modifier table for details. Critical hits do double damage. An archer may attempt a Headshot (or a Kneeshot), at a -40 penalty, to do double damage. Penalty is increase to -50 when opponent is wearing a Light helmet, -80 when opponent is wearing a Heavy helmet. Missed shots have a 25% chance of hitting another target in any space adjacent to their line of fire.
Ranged Weapon Damage = (Bow base x (1+0.5 x skill (%)) x Perks) + Ammunition Damage + Effects x2 damage for Critical hit (usual range 5) x2 damage for Headshot (-40 hit penalty)

Just Another Brick in the Wall:

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. Blocking 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 shields 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:

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 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
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%.

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.

Buckling the Swash:

To make an attack with a one handed weapon, you must equip the weapon first (Major action). Each attack is a minor action, you may attack up to 3 times per turn (does not apply to unarmed attacks). Please see Attack Sequence table and Combat Movement chart for how to calculate hits.

One Handed

You may perform a Power Attack by stating thus when you announce your target. Each power attack is categorized by your current momentum: Forward, Standing, Side, or Backwards. Power attacks with one handed weapons cost 30 stamina and do double damage, up to 3x depending on weapon type. Dual wielding: The advantage of dual wielding is that you may power attack with both weapons at once for 80 stamina, doing 3x damage with each weapon, up to 4x depending on weapon type. Also, the Dual Fury perk grants extra attacks.

So, You Youre 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 forge for metalworking), as well as knowledge of the crafting Recipe.

Smithing

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 GMs 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 havent existed in hundreds of years!

Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Staying Alive:

The Survival skill encompasses all of those time honored ways to stay 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 are rested, 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 locally available before spending time searching for something specific.

Definitely Not Compensating:

To make an attack with a two handed weapon, you must equip the weapon first (Major action). Each attack is a minor action, you may attack up to 2 times per turn. Please see Attack Sequence table and Combat Movement chart for how to calculate hits. You may perform a Power Attack by stating thus when you announce your target. Each power attack is categorized by your current momentum: Forward, Standing, Side, or Backwards. Power Attacks with two handed weapons cost 50 stamina and do double damage, up to 3x depending on weapon type. Pole Weapons: These are special two handed weapons that generally do less damage, but have the advantage of +1 reach. This means that you may attack an enemy from 1 extra hex away. Combat movement rules still apply. You may equip a spear and a shield simultaneously for optimum defense. However, you may not Power Attack while doing so. Greatswords, Warhammers, Battleaxes are normal two handed weapons. Spears, Staves, and Halberds are common two handed pole weapons.

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. 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.

Use of Chainmail Swimwear:

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.
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.

Light Armour

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.

Call a Locksmith!
Lockpicks are used to both open locks and disarm traps. Picking a lock or disarming a trap is an Extended action. Thus, each attempt will consume an entire combat round. An improvised lockpick may be used at a -50% penalty to all rolls for opening that lock. Also, a roll of 1 to 10 on when using an improvised lockpick will break the lock and render it unopenable. Each lockpicking attempt will damage a lockpick, lockpicks break at a rate determined by the lock/trap tier. Each attempt also increases the chance of success by +20. Lockpicks can be found for purchase at smithys and general stores, also shady types will have a supply. Lockpicks may also be created using the Smithing skill.

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

You may make a check vs. current Pickpocket + Notice to gauge a Mark. A successful roll will allow you to assess the Marks wealth and possessions. Pickpocket 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.
To Pickpocket an item roll vs. Target: (Pickpocket 1*(1+weight/5) 1*(1+cost/20) + effects)*(1-perks)

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.

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.

It Must Have Been My Imagination Imagination

Initiating Sneaking requires a Minor Action and may only be done out 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.

The Gift of the Gab:

The Speech skill is normally used for Haggling, Persuasion, and Intimidation checks. You may make a Haggling check (not to be confused with the perk), when attempting to buy or sell an item. A successful Haggling Speech check will improve an items price by 20% in your favour, a critical success (range 5) will improve by an additional 20%. You may attempt to Intimidate and opponent in combat to select another target, or Intimidate a merchant to give you a 40% discount (same as a Haggling critical success). To make an Intimidate check, pass an Opposed skill check vs. one of the following opponents skills: One Handed, Two Handed, Archery, Destruction Magic, Conjuration Magic, Illusion Magic. Intimidating a merchant may cause them to report you to the guards for a bounty, depending on how much they like you and the value of the item. You may make a Persuasion Opposed Speech roll to increase someones opinion of you (or reduce their hostility). Persuasion rolls in combat are Adverse Opposed checks vs. the enemys 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.

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. Alteration 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).
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 x 2 (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. Restoration To cast a Sustained spell, roll vs. Skill + 50 + modifiers. A failure means the spell fizzles and cannot be attempted again until next turn. 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 one action is spent sustaining the spell. Dual casting sustained spells costs 3 times the magicka for 2 times the effect.
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.

Swords are the bread and butter of the armed class. They are particularly suited for lunging attacks, and their long edges have a better chance of doing extra damage than most other weapons.

Maces are traditionally used by fighters facing more heavily armoured, better equipped foes. A strong standing blow has the best chance of defeating your enemy with this weapon. These weapons may not be much to look at, but only a fool turns his back to a foe armed with a dagger. They do unparalleled damage from Sneak attacks and thus are favorite weapons of assassins. Called by different names throughout Tamriel, these somewhat rare single edged weapons make up for in raw damage what they lack in versatility. Plus they look very impressive.

War Axes are favoured weapons of the Nords, and can wreak havoc on a lightly armoured foe. They are most effective when used in sideways slashing type attacks.

Scrolls
All spells are potentially available as single use scrolls. Scrolls weigh nothing and require no skill to cast. Scroll Value = Tome Value / 2 To see if a vendor has a scroll, roll vs. (105Tier)*(Merchant) where Tier = 20 for Novice 40 for Apprentice 60 for Adept 80 for Expert 100 for Master 1 for magical vendors 2 for school specialists 1/3 for general stores

Spell Tomes
Availability of Spell Tomes is generally less than that of scrolls. To see if a vendor has a tome, roll vs. (90-Tier + Merchant)*(1+Player Level/50) where Tier = 20 for Novice 40 for Apprentice 60 for Adept 80 for Expert 100 for Master 15 for magical vendors 40 for school specialists -30 for general stores

Note: Tier V Legendary, and Tier VI Supreme potions can be crafted or found, but are almost never sold by apothecaries.

Enchanted Items
Magical vendors will always have some enchanted items available, this is their stock in trade. The odds of other stores having magical items are: 20% * Merchant * (1+Player Level / 50) where Merchant= 1 for general stores 3 for specialty stores such as clothiers, jewelers, and smiths

Availability =

Merchant =

Scrolls of Sustained spells contain 4 actions worth of duration. These rules may also be used to determine the availability of Soul Gems.

Generally a player must wait 1 week before searching for the same tome or scroll again. For values of Spell Tomes, please see Grimoire.

This roll is just to see if the merchant has any items, not a particular item. For rules on spawning magical items, please see the Enchanting section (or just roll a d100, the lower the die result, the better the item is).
