KaiSardone · Post by **KaiSardone** » Tue Dec 07, 2004 11:01 pm

Khajit

Major Skills-Block,LightArmor,Sneak,Security,LongSword
Minor-Alteration,ShortBlade,Acrobatics,HeavyArmor,Restoration

Specilization-Stealth
Atribb-Strength/Intelligence

Perhaps trade acro for alchemy? opinions appreciated.

I'm not sure why your secondary attribute is Intelligence, since your character has hardly any use for it. Perhaps Strength/Agility?

Personally, I'd go for either Heavy Armor or Light Armor. Become versed in one, then, when you get enough drakes, buy some levels in the other.

Consider Illusion or Alchemy. The former should aid your character's strong stealth characteristics, while the latter is simply a great way to buttress a number of skills and attributes.

#medium armor
#spear

Minor...
#Unarmored
#Alchemy (to be rised by trainers to increase int.)
#acrobatics
#Athletics
#your choice

Sign would be lady or other no mana when resting sign..

???

But remeber SPOILISH: You can't use Boots of Blinding speed if you're a khajiit...

But Kajiit are the coolest so that makes up for it

Then I'd have to ask, once more, why you have Intelligence as your secondary attribute, instead of Agility.

Wrath-Of-Egg · Post by **Wrath-Of-Egg** » Wed Dec 08, 2004 7:47 am

ROLEPLAYING dear Fable.. it is called ROLEPLAYING..

Strength for more damage.. and Intelligence so you can cast more spells..

And with that build.. agility is going to rise quite fast so extra 10 looks like little bit pointless to me..

LOL! If anyone's going to patronize me, Wrath-of-Egg, it should be the thread starter, not someone who is as ignorant of his motivations as you or I.

As he specifically mentioned being a fighter and thief and asked our opinions of his characer build...are you following along...? It seems he wants our advice. Doesn't mean he has to follow any of it, but that's his choice, probably.

Kai-Sardone, I would agree about trading acrobatics for alchemy, or perhaps sacrificing short blade or one of the armor types, instead. Alchemy is both useful and something that can fit easily into several character builds. I'd expect a thief to know all about potions, even if they weren't skilled with active magics; and if you're running on the PC, consider getting the Complete Morrowind mod, which lets you mix poisons for application on weapons, too. Just a thought.

Well.. dear Fable..

So here it is..

Play it as it allready is.. it will be just fine.. have fun..

I find it moot to take both long and short sword as skills, if you want to increase speed simply train a miscelenious speed skill before leveling up the major/minor skills to gain the level up, or chose unarmored. Heavy and light armor are kinda pointless i would trade heavy armor for mysticism.

Pretty much my opinion, too.

I'd suggest heavy to start, simply because it protects better, but the tradeoff is less ability to carry around stuff you liberate before you become over-burdened. And since long sword does more damage and raises Strength, it's superior to Speed, which does very little except make your journeys faster and help run away from large, toothy things.

level up fast

well, if you want to level up fast without training much, I would recommend using both alchemy and acrobatics. Thanks to acrobatics your strenght will rise A LOT and fast.

Squee · Post by **Squee** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 2:18 am

one more

forgot to mation that you have to have actrobatics or you are silly. Khajiit look really cool when they jump.

ARgonians are lot cooler..

Character build-opinions/help needed

Khajit
Major-LongSword,LightArmor,Security,Stealth,Block
Minor-Alchemy,ShortSword,(conjuration or Enchant)Speechcraft, unknown

Any suggestions? on these things. and do you think khajit is a goos class for it?

The best character is the one you like to play. Toy around with him, see if he fits your playing style. It took me 3 months and dosens of characters to find the right combination.

fable · Post by **fable** » Fri Dec 10, 2004 3:59 pm

KaiSardone, there really wasn't a need for a second thread--after all, it's still your request for assistance on character builds, just a bit further along. So I combined 'em.

Major-LongSword,LightArmor,Security,Stealth,Block
Minor-Alchemy,ShortSword,(conjuration or Enchant)Speechcraft, unknown

As for your current build: I'd go with conjuration, not enchant, and throw in another magic--perhaps illusion, which relies on personality, and therefore fits with a thiefly personality.

KaiSardone · Post by **KaiSardone** » Fri Dec 10, 2004 7:46 pm

whoops

thanks for combing them didnt realize@@ proves i was tired eheh. my friend told me conjuration would be usless if i wasnt really magicy Oo since i woudlnt summon to many good things.

I was curious though if enchant is useful it all. i mean do you need other magic skills to go with it to make it usable?

and moot? meanig dont get shortsword AND longsword? perhaps a differnt weapon, like spear? Oo *really has no idea* erg x.x thanks for the help ervyone i truely appreciate it. just tyring to make a decent char so i wont have to restart@@ again..didnt get TO far forunatly.

OH and as for the st/int thing it actually works out since somone noted elshwere that sec is int, and so is alch and the other magic skill i'd use. agi only master a few things, the others were like speed and such Oo.

Yes. You have to know the spells in advance if you're going to do any enchanting.

and moot? meanig dont get shortsword AND longsword? perhaps a differnt weapon, like spear?

For what it's worth, I suggest going with one weapon--long swords--and building up other weapons as needed by learning from teachers, once you've acquired plenty of cash. That will free up another slot to make a higher level skill.

Speed is probably the single most useless attribute in the game. Agility is useful in every battle.

KaiSardone · Post by **KaiSardone** » Fri Dec 10, 2004 9:44 pm

hmm so maybe

Major-Block,LightArmor,Security,Sneak,LongSword
minor-Enchant,Speechcraft,Alchemy,Acrobatics, and erm uh marksmen?@@ or perhaps another spell class?(destruction?)

And would an imperial work for this build do you think? or stick with Khajit?

sorry again for all the questions@@
