Bands of the Parasite

A set of three rings with class bonuses and the parasitic ability to leech 50% from one stat and put it into another. For the Warrior, Mage and Ranger types. By wearing a ring you give up some of one stat to boost the other. It’s a balance of power.

Ranger
Stamina -> Health
[see picture - The Rangers Bounty for class bonuses]

Mage
Health -> Magicka
[see picture - The Mages Bounty for class bonuses]

Warrior
Health -> Stamina
[see picture - The Warriors Bounty for class bonuses]


:: LOCATION

A chest located in the Dragonsreach Dungeon in Whiterun. It is locked and needs a key which can be found “where you might normally end up if you get caught” *hint hint*


:: TECHNICAL

Each ring leeches 50% of a stat and put those points into another stat.

Example: If I have 100 health and 100 stamina and I put on the Ranger ring which leeches 50% of my Stamina and puts it into Health, I will now have 150 Health and 50 Stamina.

Example 2: 245 Magicka & 185 Health -> Mage ring - > 337 Magicka & 92 Health


:: ISSUES / BUGS

It ain't perfect but as long as you keep the following in mind then it should work out fine.

1/ - This doesn't apply to you if you decide to use only 1 ring OR if you decide to use either the Mage or Warrior with the Ranger. If you choose to use Mage with Warrior [and not everyone would like a mage swapping with warrior etc] Unequip a ring before equipping another. Since both the Mage and Warrior ring leech from your Health, you can die swapping the Mage and Warrior ring back and forth a few times.

[if anyone wants to take a stab at the script, hit me up and we can update it with credit to you]

Again - This is only a concern if you swap the Mage and Warrior rings in your inventory a few times. Not a big deal but it needs to be mentioned in case you suddenly find yourself dead.


2/ - This applies to all ring - When you level and or raise one of the three stats and are wearing a ring that leeches from that same stat the % going into the other stat will not adjust until you unequip the ring then requip it. Basically there is no "live" update. It calculated the % to swap from a stat when you put it on - not while you're wearing it.

Example: If you raise health while wearing a ring that takes from health, unequip the ring then equip it to get the updated % from your new health total. [do this for any stat you change which you’re using to adjust another]


3/ - No 3. Only two. Don’t swap rings [unequip one then equip the other] and to adjust the % when you raise the stat you’re leeching from, take that ring off then put it back on.


:: FEEDBACK WELCOME

Want more specialized rings? Say so in the comments. I made three homogenized Rings for three generalized classes. I could definitely make specialized rings for mixed/hybrid classes.

I'm definitely interested in feedback from those who play with the Rangers Bounty or the Warriors Bounty [i'm currently playing with the mages bounty so i adjusted the bonuses based on my last few levels of play]

I want your opinions based on a decent amount of playtime. Say between 5 levels worth if you can manage it that long. I'd also like to know what level your character is and what difficulty level you're playing.
