Skyrim Skooma Drug Effect
Towanda Tuning
When used, skooma increases the user's strength,[3] speed,[4] and restores stamina.[5] Some of the more addictive effects of the drug are bouts of euphoria, protracted lethargy,[6] loss of voice, minor fits, and possibly death.[7]
Once someone has become addicted to skooma, it is said there is no potion, blessing, or magical incantation that can cure them. In fact, is a common truism amongst the Khajiit that no such cure exists; that one who has become dependent upon it is forever made a hopeless slave to its allure. This, however, is false, and one may free themselves and regain control through knowledge, understanding, and self-acceptance. Only once the addict overcomes the burden of their own self-despising is there the possibility of redemption.[8] Despite this, an Argonian addict of the drug named Wujeeta was able to cure her addiction by drinking a healing potion.[9]
Since skooma is a narcotic, the Empire has banned it in many provinces.[10] Despite this, many criminals and dealers will sell this to anyone that is interested in buying their product.[11] The primary source of income in Elsweyr is the exportation of moon sugar, which is used to make Skooma. In fact, half of the southern population of Elsweyr are known as "sugar tooths," a slang word for a skooma addict.[source?] Some criminals have formed large operations out of making and selling skooma, as some criminals sell them in large cities such as Riften[9] and other places. There are also secret dens where people can buy or use the drug such as the Bravil Skooma Den in Cyrodiil, or the Redwater Den in Skyrim. Some people in places such as Morrowind will refuse to do business with people carrying the drug,[12] however some people in Cyrodiil are willing to sell or purchase it.[6] Skooma in Skyrim is "watered down" and not as strong as in other provinces.[13] The Khajiit have a tolerance to skooma and moon sugar, as they consume it in some form every day.[UL 1]
The UESP page on skooma is pretty disappointing. Is it because there's simply little or no information about how the drugs affects the body? If the information exists somewhere, what can you guys tell me about it? I want it for a DnD campaign set in Tamriel.
The liquids used to refine skooma from moon sugar are highly flammable.[19] Skooma is used to hide the taste of Redmaiden, a drug for Nirnborn mortals to keep themselves sane for a short time in the daedric realm of Fargrave.[20]
Skooma, a famous illegal drug of Tamriel, was a part of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. In Morrowind, this "drug" would eventually get you addicted with side effects. In Oblivion, you would find drug dens containing skooma addicts. So far in Skyrim there have been random encounters of people who sell skooma. Drinking Skooma gives you 25% stamina boost for limited time.
From the history of the Dragon War to the celestial planes of Aetherius, The Elder Scrolls franchise is known for its world-building, and The Elder Scrolls 6 is sure to be no exception. One of the most dangerous but underdeveloped aspects of in-game world-building is Skooma, the ultra-addictive drug refined from moon sugar. Although the narcotic has appeared in almost every Elder Scrolls game, little is known about Skooma, and its consequences have yet to be explored in-depth. The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim might be the first game to explore the effects of Skooma use. Hopefully, the upcoming sequel The Elder Scrolls 6 will explore the drug more.
Skooma is a fictional drug/beverage in the world of the computer role-playing game series The Elder Scrolls. It is a narcotic made from refined moon sugar. It is illegal and extremely addictive. A book called Confessions of a Skooma-Eater (also sometimes called Confessions of a Dunmer Skooma-Eater) provides a stirring argument that can turn skooma addicts away from addiction. (This book is a parody of the real Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, which concerns the drug laudanum.) Skooma is valuable and often smuggled, but few shopkeepers are willing to buy it. Due to its illegal nature, some shop keepers will not do business with the player if they are carrying it or its unrefined substrate moon sugar. Khajiit, however, have a particular fondness for skooma and are often willing to purchase it. Skooma is created using "Skooma pipes". In Morrowind, Skooma boosts the player's speed and strength, but decreases agility and intelligence temporarily. Several game modifications for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind as well as The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion implement an in-game addiction system involving raising and lowering player stats based on ingestion schedules.
Moon sugar, the raw material for producing skooma, is an alchemical component derived from grasses native to Elsweyr, the homeland of the Khajiit, where the substance plays a substantial role in Khajiit culture. Due to being an unrefined ingredient of skooma, it does not have an effect on the player in Morrowind. Moon sugar does not make an appearance in Oblivion.
Players of Morrowind and Oblivion were slightly dismayed to find that the effects of skooma had been minimised in Skyrim but there's bound to be opportunities for skooma-fuelled chaos in the next entry in The Elder Scrolls series. We will be waiting a while, and we've come to terms with that unfortunate fact, however possible news on the development on The Elder Scrolls VI consumes our every waking moment. Even Todd Howard's son is haranguing him for updates so bookmark our guide on everything we know about the sequel thus far.
In Skyrim there are a few drugs and alcoholic beverages and I couldn't really figure out whether or not there are big disadvantages.I always rely on my own potions because I'm not sure about the side effects of those things.
Every drug-like potion, alcoholic food item, etc. will describe it's behaviour fully in the effects list in your inventory; there is no addiction mechanism, and there are no penalties beyond what is listed (usually just a penalty to stamina regeneration). In fact, Skooma, described in-universe as highly addictive, doesn't even have that!
This mod is basically an overhaul of the drug system in Skyrim.It Adds six new lore friendly drugs from previous elderscrolls games,new drug dealers,new stats and visual effects to all drugs. See the description for a list of all the changes.
Easily the stupidest use of drugs in games, though, is when they turn up as some kind of power-up. I mean, video game heroes are continually glugging potions with mysterious energy-boosting effects, but sometimes it's more overt.
