Oblivion:Marauder

Marauder at Fort Wooden Hand

Este artigo é sobre the NPCs. Para the class, veja Marauder (class).

Marauders are aggressive, blade-wielding NPCs. They are always hostile towards the player and will attack you on sight. Marauders are regularly found in fort dungeons, though you may find them occasionally in other types of dungeons as well, as summarized at Marauder Dungeons.

There are three basic varieties of Marauder.

• The most common variety is identified simply as Marauder, and is blade-weapon melee fighter of Marauder class
• Next most common variety is the Marauder Archer, a Marauder Archer-class NPC equipped with a bow.
• The least common marauder is the Marauder Battlemage, a spell-casting marauder of the Marauder Battlemage class.

Marauders are also frequently accompanied by dogs, who may actually appear in place of a marauder; this is usually to the player's benefit, as the dog is much easier to kill than a marauder.

In addition, Marauder Warlords are the marauder bosses, and are only found in dungeons. Eight dungeons have a single Marauder Warlord, typically as the final enemy you will encounter.

Lastly, you may encounter Dead Marauders. One Orc and one Nord marauder have been killed by other denizens of their homes before you ever arrive. You can find them in Dasek Moor, Fort Blueblood (×2), Fort Coldcorn and Fort Urasek.

All marauders are members of the Marauder Faction, which gives them a slight liking for Creatures and a pathological hatred of bandits.

There are several specialized types of marauders, who take part in a series of Mages Guild, Dark Brotherhood and Miscellaneous quests. These include:

• Six non-respawning Marauders (1 Marauder, 2 Battlemages, 2 Archers and 1 Warlord) are encountered in Fort Blueblood during the Leyawiin Recommendation quest.
• The Mercenaries in Fort Sutch, who are part of the Marauder faction
• Some of the contenders in Boethia's tournament
• Bjalfi the Contemptible who can be found in Fort Strand and who is part of the Marauder faction
• Kylius Lonavo, found at Greyland is also part of the Marauder faction
• Black Rock Pirates from Black Rock Caverns

• Marauders always carry heavy armor.

Marauder Battlemage Spells

Battlemages have an incredibly large amount of magicka: they actually have three birthsigns: one for NPC Mages, which provides them with +50 magicka, one just for Battlemages which adds another 25 Magicka and the Atronach birthsign also available to the player. Added to their Altmer bonus, this means that they have +325 maximum magicka. It is therefore highly recommended that you use a silence spell or silence enchanted weapon against them to prevent the use of spell casting, Damage Magicka is generally not useful at all due to the repeated casting it would take to reduce the marauder's magicka to zero.

Each Battlemage will know how to cast four randomly selected spells: two Destruction, one Conjuration and one Restoration spell. In each case, the effect is randomly determined from the following list; the strength of the spell is randomly determined based on the battlemage's skill level. The possible effects for each school are:

• Conjuration: Bound Armor (Boots, Gauntlets, Greaves or Helmet), Bound Weapon (Axe or Dagger) or Summon (Ghost, Scamp, Skeleton or Zombie)
• Destruction: 1 Damage Health, Drain Health, Fire Damage, Frost Damage or Shock Damage (the damage spells may all be on touch or on target) and a second, more powerful, one with same effects plus Disintegrate Weapon and Armor
• Restoration: Absorb Fatigue, Absorb Health, Absorb Magicka, Absorb Skill (all on touch; except Acrobatics, Alchemy, Armorer, Athletics, Mercantile, Security, Speechcraft) or Restore Health
