2,004,717,056 seconds is 63.569 years. Stephen Hawking died at 76. 76 minus 63.569 is 12.43.
He was diagnosed when he was 21, so the spell duration should be 1,734,480,000 seconds.
It doesn’t say “paralyze…” it says “chance to…” so maybe it is multiplying that chance to paralyze times the number of seconds to come up with your estimate of how long he was paralyzed. It is the expected number of seconds of paralysis time to compensate for the risk of it not triggering.
There is a 1 in 4 base chance, it won’t take 7 years to trigger.
it won’t take 7 years to trigger.
Would be the most useless effect in the history of games if it did 😆
Depends on how many times it is used, tbf.
One hit from a mace is enough to paralyze any human, depending on how hard and where you hit them. I don’t recommend you test that fact, but lawful self-defense with an opportune mace is legally defensible. I am not a lawyer and prior statement is not legal advice.
So you’re saying that if he had lived longer, he would have regained full use of his body?
We don’t know how powerful the enchantment was, but if he had lived infinitely long, it stands to reason that he may have.
Thanks for saying what all of us were thinking 💭
Well I laughed.
See you in hell I guess.
Surely that’s not where Hawking went?!?
If having affairs outside of marriage counts as a ‘straight to hell’ offence, then sure. Also if pride still counts as a deadly sin, then off downstairs he goes. But he was an atheist in life.
Heaven looks boring anyway - I’d rather be where my friends are.
Depends on the hell.
Why are you going to hell? It isn’t like you visited Little Saint James with Mr Hawking.
I had to look that up and now I’m sad, he really went there?
It’s weird as shit that people keep bringing it up, like they think Hawking was out there raping kids while he can only talk with his cheek muscles.
Part of the point of Epstein Island was that he’d invite academics and celebrities on the premise of an all expense paid island meet and greet. The child rape wasn’t included in the free tour, they were there as a smokescreen for the paying clients.
If you want to blame him for helping provide cover, go for it, but I personally don’t expect random extremely disabled professors to be able to spot an oligarchal pedophile ring that wasnt yet exposed.
Like, seriously, why does Lemmy always bring up Hawking and not any of the people who might have actually abused a child?
You mean like convicted felon and known rapist Donald Trump?
Never too soon…
I’d keep reading that one.
Though now I do still have to wonder…
it should increase int too
Nah, he was already a genius before he was paralyzed.
Does skyrim have reflect magica? It’s been a hot minute, but that’d be really fun to have sent back to you lol.
No. It doesn’t even have a shield enchantment. :(
But there’s hella mods that add new spell effects, so there’s a high chance you could mod reflect in.
Console commands also let you apply some non-spell effects as enchantments. If you want to have a bit of fun cheating, you can put a max strength fus ro dah on a hammer and pretend to be Thor
Paralyzing is super broken in Skyrim. It doesn’t actually matter how long the target is paralyzed, because paralyzing them at all causes them to fall, starting a lengthy stand-up animation, during which they’re vulnerable. Hit them, they fall. They start to get back up, so you hit them more. Eventually, they stay down.
I guess you can say… they get knocked down and do NOT get up again
You could smack everybody in Skyrim once with this, save the game, and be Thane by Default since everyone will be Stephen Hawkinged for the rest of the time you’ll play it.
I reckon someone must have been watching the Spiffing Brit innit
“Behold, Perry the Platypus! The STEPHEN HAWKING-INATOR! By rendering all of my foes unable to move, I shall finally take over the Tri-State Area!”
