If i try to level my armor skill, block skill, or smithing skill- it will just level my character up and ill fight tougher enemies.

So isn't this a vicious cycle or somthing?

Im talking about early levels 1-15 by the way.

Yes, leveling any particular skill will increase your player level. So long as you level weapon or magic skills appropriately it should not be too much of a problem. I'd recommend using trainers sparingly and not leveling your non combat skills too much at one time if you want to avoid being underpowered.

that the point, doesn't it ?

I would say that if you want to be stronger at this level without leveling up - buy better gear ( buy, don't make)

VanSky levels you way too fast, it is a viscious cycle- and depending on what difficulty you're on, you either keep up with the curve by power leveling or be prepared for lots of one shots/ reloads until you're character catches up.

I've tried building characters who ignore armour - both physical and alteration spell varieties, and just increased health and offence. That seems to work well enough.

Because they're not spreading experience across many skills, they don't level up too fast, and so the enemies remain easy enough to go down in a couple of hits. Hit first, stagger your foe, finish. That doesn't leave any chance for them to hit you.

Just remember to dodge the archers, or be sneaky yourself, depending on what weapon you're using.

My latest uses Sneak, One-handed (dual-wielding the Blade of Woe with a dagger that has soul trap to feed it), and Smithing to make each weapon as nasty as possible. She one-shots Draugr Deathlords, who don't see her coming, and get on the wrong end of x15 backstab. Those are the only skills she advances.

Along the lines of what Ghastley said, I'd suggest focus primarily on offense and put one perk in shield wall one. I do, however, wear armor at lower levels just don't bother perking it until after I have my offense maxed for my skill level and a bit of smithing skill. For light armor I wait til 30 skill and exquisite smithing at least before putting any perks then i try to do agile 1, 2, and custom fit all at once. Also, I found it is wise to be very precise at smithing increases. Just do enough to get to surperior, with a potion and whatever enchant you might have at first. then wait until your melee skills increase, then get just enough to reach exquisite after 10th level or so. then i wait a good while to raise to 60 for arane smithing, generally right after I turn 20th level when enemies scale drastically.

If you are primarily melee and like that, be careful if you also use a bow to sneak shot, or sneaking in general, as it will level your character quickly, and make it somewhat less effective in regular combat, forcing you to sneak more, and so on.....

also try to be cautious in persuasion checks and use a dialogue option that isn't persuasion or intimidation when possible. and never do one unless you really need to, which means probably avoiding certain little side quests.

Also, enemies scale pretty distinctly at 5 level intervals so be careful not use support skills to advance across a gap.
