Previous gameplay showed me where to get the fist enchantment from the only item in the game that has it. Enchantment would definitely be needed to complement fist combat. I was thinking of making, maybe a Redguard fist-and-magickar ( I don't even know how this would be hotkey-able ) or a Breton dukes-and-sneak-element-resistor, or maybe even a Dunmer firecloak prizebrawler.

How powerful can unarmed hand to hand get in this game? I would be taking heavy armor for that gauntlets perk and enchanting. Will probably ditch Immersive Creatures because of how unbalanced to vanilla. There are no other perks for brawling. Come to think of it, I've never played with a perk mod and remember SPERG might have something.

The idea is to be most powerful at close proximity and just find a workaround to deal with ranged baddies. Probably have to also prevent ASIS from distributing Apocalypse spells. I have little idea what I'm doing right now. Help / suggestions?

My current mods are mostly armor and clothes, and:

In the vanilla game, you can only get as high as 73 or so and you have to be a Khajiit to do that.

There are hand to hand mods that make a monk style a lot of fun. SkyRe has a section devoted to H2H.

Moved this to Mods as that is how your going to get a strong Hand to Hand character in Skyrim.
