Paper Doll Crises
So, I've just figured out a damn spiffy set of powerup items for my remarkably-successful Oblivion character to wear which will make her nothing short of a god on earth...
...but, unfortunately, they also make her look like a complete head case.
Holy crud, it's like my inner prepubescent boy and my inner prepubescent girl are in a cage-match slap fight.
Okay, so, between the Crimson Scar Raiment, the Escutcheon of Chorrol and a Ring of the Iron Fist (found after a successful farming run on the two boss-level coffers at Ceyatatar Gorihame) I've got over 100% Reflect Damage, which means that any non-archer physical attacks actually deal no damage to me and more damage than originally inflicted back on the attacker. And between a Mundane Ring, the Crown of Nenalata and an amulet with a Transcendent Sigil Stone (Resist Magic), I am also impervious to magical damage with the further benefit that none of my resistances can ever be decreased (except in super-rare circumstances like a case of Astral Vapors). So my only major vulnerability is archers, and with 100 speed (and the Boots of Springheel Jak, on a short-term basis as needed) I can close with archers almost instantly and force them to into melee. I'm weak against disease and poison, admittedly, but in the end, disease and poison will hardly slow a dedicated herbalist -- which my character also is -- down.
The biggest problem with this outfit, is noted, is that it looks like ass. Seriously, none of this shit matches at all.
Decisions, decisions...
