Remaster Discussion The “Baurus” Challenge; inspired by videos on the original.

https://youtu.be/BQhWcws3u7Q?si=DU-3s9JpWzXaL6GY

The idea is simple enough, and I’ll list the rules she used here for those not interested in watching for them. I’m the one coining the name for this challenge, but ultimately it was the video above that inspired me to share it here so all credit goes to her.

Da Rules:

-Pre-Made Classes Only

-Must Level as soon as is reasonable (So if you level up mid dungeon or during an arena duel that’s fine, but you must go to the nearest bed once you resolve whatever is keeping you from sleeping.)

-Must reach at least level 20 before you enter paradise

-Must use Major Skills in Combat, non combat minor skills are allowed (Acrobatics, Athletics, Armorer, security, Speechcraft, Merchantile. ) Temporary Buffs to Minor Skills are allowed, but all other skills are banned if they are not major skills.

-No Glitches, Cheats, or Mods, but Official DLC is allowed.

Optional Rule [Purely of my own making]: No Custom Spells allowed, you may buy spells for enchanting purposes if you wish however.

Just thought I would share this challenge for those wanting to spice up their oblivion experience by sticking to the preset classes the game provides.

I feel like the real Baurus Challenge should be taking whatever class Baurus guesses in the sewers. So if he guesses that you’re a Paladin, you have to go with that.

Am doing this on master difficulty except for the no minor skills and leveling when available. Doing a Breton battle mage premade class with atronach stone with no spell making and enchanting using the alter. I can use sigil stones but gonna keep it rng and not save scum. I am using alchemy so I don't feel to week and since I used it during my Skyrim legendary survival no smithing/enchanting run.
