Hand to hand build

Post » Thu Oct 04, 2012 11:12 am

Hi, first off, thank you to those that have replied to my comments on the Morrowind board thus far today, you've helped me allot with the technical side of things :smile:

Now down to the character. As you'll already have guessed, i'm going to try a hand to hand build, but havent played Morrowind for 2 years or more, so i'm down to new player status.

Things i've seen reccomended for H2H build, any truth to them ?

Imperial & Khajiit have +5 to H2H.(best races to use ?)
Punching does fatigue damage first, then health when the enemy is down.(maybe worth using a secondaty weapon for this stage ?)
The Lover sign is good to take for this build.
Paralyze is usefull, as when enemy is frozen, you do health damage right away with fists ?
Fists can damage ghosts etc..

So, what skills to use ? I like stealthly orientated characters, so what i was thinking:

Specialization:
Stealth

Favourite attributes:
Speed
Agility

Major skills:
Hand to hand
Light armour or unarmoured (not sure which)
Sneak
Athletics
Security or Illusion (i'm interested in getting a paralyze spell if the above theory is correct)

Minor skills:
Marksman or shortblabe ? (to help finish enemies quicker if needed, never hurts to have a seconday weapon)
Acrobatics
Mercantile
Speechcraft
Security or illusion (as above)

It looks alright to me, but maybe some experienced heads may see flaws or have counter arguements with what i'v picked or put where ? Appreciate your input , thank you.

(p.s apologies now for any spelling mistakes & i hope it reads well enough).
