I had an idea about a week ago. I love poisons in skyrim, but I had a few issue with getting away during the assassination. Lingering damage gave me some time, but still required me to get up close to my target and risk being caught. I think gauntlets that shoot darts (which poison can be equiped too) would be awesome. They would look nice too. For any assassin in Skyrim, these gauntlets would allow you to apply (efficiently) alchemy to your tactics. I think i would definately be more inclined to make various poisons and potions if something like this came my way. What does y'all think?

The thing that makes it contrast w/ using poisons w/ a bow:

-gauntlets do 0 damage, and the needles for it do 1 damage; giving you the advantage of just having the poison do the work. W/ lingering damage health, you wouldn't have to worry about the bow immediately killing the target at all, therefore making use of the poison.
-darts would not attract attaintion of the target, making nobody notice when you shoot, unlike a bow which is riskier. People would not even necessarily know the victim was killed by dart.
-there would also be a blade on the guantlet, allowing you to get up close if needed. The blade would do 1 damage, making use of poison the same way.

or shoot an arrow that has poison on it

Umm... Bow?

Don't get me wrong I would love to poison gauntlets for H2H and your idea is neat but this is kind of odd.

What's wrong with a bow? Not trying to be rude, but a ranged weapon is a ranged weapon at the end of the day (unless it's PnP, when of course range matters).

some images that might inspire its visual appearance:

i think the gloves are from assassins creed or something

I understand what you mean. I guess I just thought this was also kinda a kewl idea. Idk

That's the only reason I have ever used a bow. A Bound Bow at that. Archery is a mere poison delivery system.

lol this is kinda funny. What if you had a scope (small one) build into the glove? This image should give you an idea of what Im saying:

Alright I have found the perfect way for it to look ----> http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&safe=off&gbv=2&biw=1600&bih=728&tbm=isch&tbnid=RiGt1XmLi0kYNM:&imgrefurl=http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php%3Ff%3D4%26t%3D45560&docid=ELy3mJG1oiCVsM&imgurl=http://th07.deviantart.net/fs49/300W/i/2009/202/2/5/Steampunk_Gauntlet_by_tungstenwolf.jpg&w=300&h=225&ei=6T4fT7aPC6fo0QGP57kG&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=357&sig=116367972629490818884&page=1&tbnh=126&tbnw=171&start=0&ndsp=36&ved=1t:429,r:12,s:0&tx=97&ty=82

.....no

LMAO!!!

I'll just stick with coating my blades and arrows with poison via my own hands, rather than relying on some dart-shooting-gauntlets-o-death.

Interesting idea though.

for me bows are insta-kill and I need more time to escape. The poison doesnt do anything on my bow that does nearly 300 damage because the target dies anyway. These gauntlets would have little weight and 0 damage. The darts for it would look like needles and only do 1 damage

I dont know what everyone else thinks about this idea of them only doing 1 damage so poison will be the cause of death; giving you time to flee
who else would like this kind of item???

I think it sounds kinda interesting.

Also why don't we have a hidden blade in the gauntlets? I'm guessing that's where you got that idea ha

gracias mi amigo, yo estoy muy feliz para escucho tu es interesada en mi idea!

that's a great idea, it would be a combo weapon! This would be an awesome dlc. Imagine, what if they released it w/ the nightingale armor in a pack, baddass and sixy.

It would definitely real in some green for Bethesda

Completely off topic, but regarding your sig... I'm pretty sure Frodnar says "I'll prank you," not "I'll break you." Pranks are kind of his thing, you know. That wacky Frodnar.

Sounds good and I bet that someone will try and make them with the CK later. Definetly would be nice...

sounds like an okay idea but i would rather have throwing knives for an assasin

You want poison darts!? You want hidden blades!? Great, now go play Assassins Creed...

So, use a lower damage bow, and Ancient nord arrows...... instead of the mega damage fellers.

I updated the main post adding the blade idea to it. thanks bobjim.

Haha, that was my point.

no. that's dumb. Just because theres a similar item in a different game doesn't mean it cant be in skyrim.

the two games are different and i think this item would fit the VERY different playstyle of skyrim. It would be used differently and in a completely different environment with almost no relevance.
