I'm a PVE roleplayer concerned about my vampires stage 4 skin tone and keep getting load screens so I came here to distract people from major issues with a rant thread about my characters cosmetic appearance.0 -

✭Well....
He is a Pact Honor "Guard" and the guards in cities do have an instakill mechanic if they wail on a player long enough.
I wonder if that ability snuck into these enemies' list?
As an aside, Chrome browser thinks "snuck" is not a word and yet I accidentally made it look it up when I right clicked to see suggestions and tried correcting it with the popup still there and it found a definition. #dumbcomputers0 -

Sparks is an old name of a skill from back before release and names being finalized. It's still in the files somewhere and snuck in there, just like this bug.
I would not be surprised if this is the invincible guard instakill mechanic to prevent somebody from being able to just tank guards forever in cities and allow people to steal everything during that time. That mechanic could also be in place if somebody were crazy enough and able to eventually bring a guard's health down, likely as a result of another bug. Need to have backups for your backups.1 -

Sparks made it to live. All the way to 1.4 I believe.3 -

Similar name, could have just been renamed and tried to stop the shared code but failed or could have shared code another way.
I remember renaming spells to alter their number to "cheat" in TES3 Morrowind Construction Set. I had to remember to alter the name and change the effects after or it would change both, giving enemies the same power.0 -

✭"Sparks", was a Dual Wield ability where you struck your blades together and Blinded the enemy for like 3 secs, and the enemy would miss all attacks during that duration, it was a awesome ability and way over-powered, it was replaced by Blade Cloak, some rare Npc enemies still have that ability though...so beware..Signed, Kotaro Atani.PS5 NAVR16/ CP 160 Khajiit Nightblade of the Aldmeri Dominion, Guildmaster and Assassin of the Queen's Hand guild on NA PC.
