Well, you'd probably want to go with the Warrior as your birthsign, as those attributes are the ones you want to raise as fast as possible. As for skills, you want blunt (as per your request), heavy armor, block, athletics, and whatever other skills you want. Restoration helps to keep you on the field, but its not necessarily required.
Its a pretty simple build, and you should have no problem slaughtering whatever is in your sight. Turning the difficulty down also helps you plow through the game.
Good luck!
