User:Rigas/ Daedric Banishing

Daedric Banishing is an effect available only from the weapon Mehrunes Razor. It gives a chance that the weapon will instantly kill its target.

The chance that Daedric Banishing instantly kills is based upon the player's Luck and is not leveled:

DeathChance = PlayerLuck * 0.05

DeathChance is at least 2 and at most 11. The script then generates a random number from 0 to 99; if the random number is less than or equal to DeathChance, the dagger kills instantly. Therefore, if your luck is 20 or less, you have have a 2% chance of instant death; if your luck is 100, the chance is 6%; with luck boosted to 200, the chance becomes 11%.

Mehrunes Razor, the only weapon with Daedric Banishing enchantment

The script attached to the dagger ensures that NPCs tagged as Essential or in the Creature Faction will never be banished. The latter exclusion is intended specifically to protect Mehrunes Dagon himself, though this latter piece of script does not work as intended and Dagon can indeed be brought down by his own artifact.

Even when the message upon successful Daedric Banishing says Mehrunes Dagon "claims the soul", Soul Trap effects still work perfectly normally.

Notes

• Comments in the script indicate that it was intended to be a 1 to 10% chance, rather than the 2 to 11% chance it ends up being.
