Aside from eating ingredients, is there any way to paralyze yourself?

[cgoose500]

EDIT: Stop saying to just eat netch jelly. My goal isn't to fall off of a tall place and survive, my goal is to LAUNCH myself very far, for the fun of being launched very far. If you get paralyzed the instant Whirlwind Sprint starts moving you, you go a lot farther a lot faster. But when the paralysis effect ends, you stop moving and start falling while your character stands back up. Eating a paralyzing ingredient only paralyzes you for like 3 seconds, potions last longer.
--------------------------------
No mods. I have the DLCs that you get for free with this version of the game.

I want to Whirlwind Sprint myself off of tall places and paralyze myself right after the shout starts so I get launched really far, but don't die upon impact. Can I drink poisons if there are more positive effects in the potion that negative ones?

Not sure if this is an adequate substitute for what you want. You can fus roh dah the graybeards off the mountain and they will eventually get back up there so you can do it again, as they are essential.

Or make a paralysis potion and drink that at the right time. If it has negative effects, can you survive them? If yes, then drink up.

Reading up from google links, it looks like you can't make a paralysis potion unmodded. The paralysis function'd be higher value than other effects, so it would always come out as a poison unless you had some mod to change that.

I went in game to see and canis root and briar heart make a paralysis poison with no other effects. Make sure the poison lasts longer than the fall.

You can't drink poison

Back to blowing graybeards off the mountain.

Were you planning to do this off of the Bard's Leap Summit, or the Throat of the World, by any chance?

The former will get you two points in speechcraft, while the latter will just make you a badass... If you survive.

But to answer your question, eat Netch Jelly or Corkbulb Root right before your landing and that should paralyze you and negate fall damage.

And I know you didn't want ingredients, but a potion. So your best bet is this page, to better understand the nuances of Skyrim's Paralysis effects in enchantment and potions: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Paralyze_(effect)

From what I know, if you have tons of netch jelly and have it on a favourite keybind and you keep eating it while in the air you won't die from the fall.

This is the way, I always keep some Netch Jelly on myself so I can hurl myself off cliffs without dying.

You wouldn't really need a ton, only two per jump really. One to get the first paralysis, and a second right before you hit the ground. You don't need to be constantly paralyed the whole time, as long as you're paralyzed as you hit the ground, you won't take any damage.

As far as I know, there is no potion that can paralyze yourself, it's always a poison.

use the become ethereal shout as long as it is active you cant die get poisoned or get hurt buy traps magic or attacks there is three levels of it. you can jump of anything your a ghost. you can use this at bard,s leap into the water down below.

If you're playing the modern version of Special Edition that has Rare Curios included (doesn't need to have Anniversary Edition), then it appears there are quite a few combinations that produce paralysis potions. The key ingredients are: scrib jerky, hackle-lo leaf, kagouti hide, marshmerrow, coda flower, and worm's head cap. With at least one of those and some combination of more common ingredients, it can be done. Check the calculator at powtions.com to figure out some recipe options.

Rare Curios also includes the corkbulb root ingredient which is an easier to get alternative to netch jelly. It's not one of the rare ingredients though, the caravans always sell it.

Producing a paralysis poison isn't a problem. The problem is, it can't be a paralysis poison. You can't drink poisons. It must be a potion that happens to also have a paralysis effect. However since paralysis is a valuable effect, and the value of the effect determines if the resulting item is a potion (which you can use) or a poison (which can only effect enemies), getting a paralysis potion isn't possible without mods.

Potion including paralysis:

Salmon Roe, Scrib jerky, Canis Root

The Waterbreathing effect on Salmon Roe is expensive enough to overpower the Paralysis effect and make it a potion. It does require the Rare Curios creation, but since that is free & included with the current version you should have it. Hackle-Lo Leaf can be substituted for the Scrib Jerky, since it also has the combination of Paralysis + Waterbreathing, and any paralysis ingredient can be substituted for the Canis Root.

Can you prove this? According to the linked calculator and UESP there is a grand total of 0 potions that have the paralysis effect.

I tried it in game. Try it yourself. With my current skills, perks, equipment & so on it shows up as a potion of waterbreathing, nominal value of 17524, with three effects:
- Waterbreathing for 2519 sec
- paralysis for 67 sec
- restore 315 stamina.

I have zero mods installed, and have never used mods, so there should be no glitches caused by partly-removed files. My guess is that the wiki & calculators were not updated when Rare Curios became standard. They may also have deliberately left out Salmon Roe, even though it is a standard ingredient, since it is never sold, and the only fixed samples are added by Hearthfire & the Fishing Creation.

They both show Roe, but ya, you cannot buy it, you have to catch Salmon to obtain it, but not just any salmon, specifically the jumping salmon at waterfalls.

So I tested it, and saw that it does work. it's just labeled as a potion of water-breathing, which would explain why I couldn't find it on the calculator as I only looked for paralysis.

Well, I guess there is a way for OP to do it with a potion, though just eating any paralyzing ingredient would still be far easier.
