I just made a Nightblade (pre-made class) and am about to leave the sewers. Here are my stats atm:

Race: Dunmer

Birthsign: The Lady

Class: Nightblade

Spec: Magic

Attributes: Willpower, Speed

Majors: Destruction, Alteration, Restoration, Athletics, Acrobatics, Light Armor, Blade


So, what do you guys think? Is this an alright char so far or will it end up extremely weak later in the game? I'm still at the exit to the sewers to I can still change everything. I was also thinking of switching to an Altmer, with the Atronach birthsign (more magicka!) and leaving my class the same, and working on my speed and strength so that I'm good at melee as well.

Thoughts?

I would be tempted to substitute Sneak for Alteration--since most of the Nightblade's skill lies in sneaky magic attacks. (Or, as I called it when I played a Nightblade last, "fiery death from above!") Everything looks good besides that, though.

i'd switch blade for marksman, trying to get sneak attacks with a blade svcks, and magick gets no bonus to sneak attacks

Looks good to me, but be careful to avoid being hit. The char is based around speedy melee and magic, but I guess you knew that already. Other than that I would say that most pre-made classes are usable, but have some build-in flaws for balance. They are not based solely on strengths like many custom classes tend to be.
