CM Partners Services by Howabominable
Installation:
Extract into your Oblivion/Data folder.
Information:
Sick of having to return to town all the time to repair your gear? Always forgetting where the trainers are? Did your magical item run out of charge in the middle of a dungeon? No longer with this mod!
This mod adds 10 CM Partners to your game, one of each race and one in each major city (plus two extras in the IC). These partners use all playstyles and have many interesting backgrounds. The best thing about them, however, is that they offer services to you, the player! Each partner can buy and sell items (starting with a default of 1000g each), repair armor, and offers training in one skill. About half of the partners can also recharge magical items. Now you can take them into dungeons where they will fight for you and function as a regular CM Partner, but you can also sell items to them and repair! When you need to use these services, command your partner to stay put and the services will become available to you. When you command them to follow you they will go back to being regular CM Partners.
This mod requires the original CM Partners mod by Blackie. It does not require the Shivering Isles expansion or any other mod.
Note: Since NPCs that offer services are not allowed to scale with player level, I have set the level of all of these NPCs at 20. If you wish to change this in the TES that is perfectly fine. I didn't want to make them too over or under-powered.
The following partners are offered with this mod:
Avery Leone – Avery is a male Breton conjurer who travels the land offering his services. He has given up the comfort and stability of a house in a city for the open roads and the freedom to go where he pleases. Currently he is in Leyawiin, and the priests in the Chapel of Zenithar have been kind enough to let him stay there before furthering his travels. Avery can do the following:
-Recharge magic items
-Repair armor
-Offer training in Conjuration
-Buy/sell items
Cardea Elianus - Cardea is a female Imperial knight and member of the Imperial Palace Guard. Since the Emperor's murder, she is feeling insecure about whether or not she will be able to keep her job, so she has taken to selling goods and repairing armor on the side in order to make more money. However, she might find it more profitable if she quits her job altogether and joins a hardy adventurer, don't you think? If so, she can be found patrolling the Imperial Palace.
Cardea can do the following:
-Repair armor
-Offer training in Armorer
-Buy/sell items
Chases-the-Wind – Chases-the-Wind is a female Argonian ostler and free-spirit. She goes where she wants to, picking up trades and learning new things as she travels. But right now, her "free-spirit" is telling her that there's a lot of dough to be made in the Imperial City Market District. So for now you can find her there hawking her wares and repairing armor for a nominal fee.
Chases-the-Wind can do the following:
-Repair armor
-Offer training in Mercantile
-Buy/sell items
Gharok gro-Larmok – Gharok is a male Orc battlemage and member of the Mages Guild. In order to pay his tuition he has been recharging magical items and repairing gear, but the sheer amount of fellow students who can do this in the Arcane University means that business is slow. So now he waits just outside the Unversity's doors, hoping that someone will come in and request his services. Give poor Gharok and break and take him on a field trip into the wild where he can get some real experience!
Gharok can do the following:
-Recharge magic items
-Repair armor
-Offer training in Destruction
-Buy/sell items
Hjoki Back-Talker – Hjoki is a male Nord barbarian who has lived in Bruma all his life. He has tried his hand at many trades, but has never been able to tie himself down to just one. Now he finds himself inside Olav's Tap and Tack doing odd-jobs for anyone who walks in the door. If you need a strong Nord to repair your gear and be handy on your travels, head to Bruma and look out for him!
Hjoki can do the following:
-Repair armor
-Offer training in Blade
-Buy/sell items
Hythraen – Unlike some people, Hythraen isn't hard-up for business. She doesn't want your money. She's too independent for that. No, what she wants is someone to stab things with. Killing is fun and all, but in the end two daggers are better than one, right? If you agree, you can find this Wood Elf acrobat in the Two Sisters Lodge in Skingrad.
Hythraen can do the following:
-Repair armor
-Offer training in Light Armor
-Buy/sell items
Iluren Radobar – Anyone want to hire a suave male Dark Elf pirate to accompany them on a raid? Iluren is just that pirate. While he spends most of his time at The Flowing Bowl in Anvil, he has been known to take part in the occasional plunder or two. And when he does, he gets all sorts of goodies to sell at a very good price. So stop buy and say hello!
Iluren can do the following:
-Repair armor
-Offer training in Speechcraft
-Buy/sell items
Jaina – Jaina is a female Redguard healer. She used to be under the employ of a rich magistrate, but he lost all of his money in gambling and was forced to let her go. Unwilling to simply join a chapel and stay there, she has wandered from city to city looking for work in the castles and wealthy. She is currently staying in the Oak and Crosier Inn in Chorrol, hoping to find work from Vilena Donton, head of the Fighters Guild. But if you make it worth her while, you might be able to convince her to work for you instead.
Jaina can do the following:
-Recharge magic items
-Repair armor
-Offer training in Restoration
-Buy/sell items
Ohtania – Ohtania is a female High Elf necromancer who was orphaned at a young age in the streets of Bravil. She has since let a hard life, getting involved with Necromancers and drug-dealers. She would like a way out, and has some handy skills, but no one is willing to employ her. Perhaps you can give her a chance? If so, she is located in the Bravil Skooma Den.
Ohtania can do the following:
-Recharge magic items
-Repair armor
-Offer training in Mysticism
-Buy/sell items
S'Gharra – S'Gharra is a male Khajiit warrior who has decided that the solitary lifestyle is just not for him. He works well in groups and with people who share his goals. As he has always been a people person, he has made sure to learn skills that allow him to interact with many different types of people. Currently, he is working alongside Borba gra-Uzgash in Borba's Goods and Stores in Cheydinhal. They work well together, but S'Gharra might be interested in finding a new business partner...
S'Gharra can do the following:
-Recharge magic items
-Repair armor
-Offer training in Heavy Armor
-Buy/sell items
PS: This mod required a lot of AI tweaks and changes that I haven't had to do for other mods. I played with these partners quite a bit and I think I found all of the major kinks, but if you find more let me know! There are some game and TES editor limitations that mean it won't be 100% perfect, but all in all these partners should prove useful to you.
Future Plans for this Mod:
Now that I have the basic CMs here for you to enjoy, I would like to start customizing them more (without making you download any extra mods, of course), Each partner has his or her own special personality and backstory, and I’d like to show those more in-game by adding unique dialog, etc. This will obviously take a lot of work but it should be worth it in the end! Keep an eye out over the next few months as I go through each CM Partners mod I have created and customize them. The changes I make should not cause any of your current partners to reset.
