Making a Stealth MageSneaky Mage

Post » Wed Nov 20, 2013 2:01 am

Right now I have 2 main characters

One is a quite high level wood elf,, Archer who sneaks, low in most other skills, magic, close combat etc, with high armor making fo daedra weapon/armor

On this char I did fighting, Dark Bro TheivesG, Companions, neither imperal or Stormcloak and the main quest I was a werewolf

A mage Char-

The didnt do much at all of the mage guild and thats about it

so now I am making a Stealth mage

I want to specialize in prolly NO armor ( unless you think otherwise) the Magics, The Assain Theif stills like Lockpicking or Sneak I also want to use the Conjure Bow and Sword skills often but not the 2 handed version

If the Magics, Bow, One Hand. Lockpick Stealth (other theifly things) if all that is too much I can adjust difficulty

When I did The Mage guild on my mage i did like 1/25th of it , when I did Theives on main, I did 1/2 half And I love the DB so I want to do

Dark Brotherhood - Theives - Mages Guild - And I want to be a vampire because I was warewolf last time Mostly cuz I havent finishes Mage or thief or been vamp.

I already made my character its a Dunmer / Delf

I Choose to not be TOOO magey so I wont be maxing alchemy or anything but I will be maxing the magics and the Weaponry /Sneak ( wanna get skell key lol i liked Obvliv lockpicking so much better)

SO what I am looking for is , based on what I want to do , which skills should I focus in on , which ones should get leveled but not have points put in and all of that

should I activate the aprentice stone fo the theive one?

Basic Questions really I quit for a while its been like a year, Im doing all this from memory cept the fact that I made the toon, I would just like any advice whatsoever ( and yeah i guess high elf +50 magika is really helpful and helps me focus on other skills since I want a huge diverse move set but I can always turn down difficulty if I spead to thin, and I already have a high elf, if you think its spread to thin still and SHOULD be High elf 4 sure, I guess i could Train sneak on my other low level mage.)

I play as a sorceress, my twist on a mage, who loves to sneak. the perks she mostly uses are

Spoiler
Destruction - main source of defense using a dual casted flame cloak if she gets overwhelmed. Once she gets the master spells and gets to 100, she does legendary on it.

Conjuration - for helpers in battle, but only the main perks such as novice, apprentice, expert and master.

Illusion - all but the dual casting. It is easy to level illusion, so if it is used a lot, one can do the legendary on it.

Sneak - only 1 point into stealth, and then up the left side to silence. She sneaks all over the place except when in a city / town to raise the levels.

Restoration - novice, apprentice, recovery 2, and adept for the spells given by the Dawnguard. If you are not going to do the Dawnguard, then only do the novice, and recovery 2

Pickpocket - Light Fingers 1, Night thief, and poisoned.

Alchemy - alchemist 5, physician, benefactor, poisoner, concentrated poison and green thumb

Enchanting - enchanter 5, soul squeezer, insightful, corpus and extra effect.

She wears the red vampire armor, black vampire gloves, black vampire boots, and a circlet, necklace and ring, all that she has double enchanted herself.

She sticks mainly with the mage stone, as that is what works best for her. Hope that helps.

race?

also im so mad i put p2 of the question all typed out and then i hit reload so now i cant remeber what else I wanted to ask...... hmmmm

but yeah any tips would be nice,

also i think one thing is ill take up enchanting over alchemy , ne1 know where i Can get a black robe set

Also IF i Did want to make my High elf mage this char instead of starting over that would work right? He uses the arrows and such already , has all the magic done to save me work , the 50+ Magika is nice, has enchanting and lacks extrenious stats I could just train the sneak up or something, Im Not sure, I just remember lots of trouble leveling those mage stats, and its gunna be alot harder to train destruction without shadowmere ( which i dont have on my mage toon anyway)

but along all that., are there any downsides to sneaking as a highelf, I see no thing wrong in the stat department

I want to make a sneaky mage, Dark brotherhood theives guild the lot

which means I will have to get pickpocketing, and lockpicking up , and also sneak all of which are around 15-25 right now

I also want to use one hands and bows that are conjured , so my now 25 and 20 One hand and bow will have to go up

and I also Want to get my magic up , all of the schools, which are about 40 right now

I also want to go wi th enchanting, not alchemy . but i DO wanna do enchanting

with all these different stats. will I be able to balance it out , or will I overlevel too much? Could I fix spread out stats with Lowering Difficulty?

Please help me, thank you , I will be getting my game back tomorrow

also should I keep my HIgh elf and make it sneaky? I will roleplay that I came to see the Mages school , but when I meet a Dbroth. Member, I turned into a Sneaky Assasin Mage.

That extra 50 Magika REALLLLY helps , theres not any way I can realy spread my stats around like I need too , although I guess it really just lets me get more HP that I wouldnt need, So would keeping my HP low and getting the bonuses from being a dark elf help? I think the only thing that would really help is Sneak and all but It would be so much work to relevel it up and such.

also i do think that there is a race that regens magika too right? thats cool Ill have to look it up , I know one that is good for mages but theres a huge tradeoff but really for stealth mage its either dark elf or my high elf I already made, since its made already , unless you got som great arguments or anything

Your two threads, which were almost identical, have been merged.

I play with too many mods...I forget if Rune Spells are available to Vanilla casters or not. If yes, then I'd do Rune Spells. Make with the Sneaky Sneak - put a Rune in a patrol path, and watch the fireworks.

Sorry. I either play as a Brenton or a High Elf, and sometimes as a Nord. That decision is yours along with what perks you take. Do what you feel is right for your character. Also, I put all my points into magicka. Period. After level 25, then I put points into magicka and stamina at a rate of 2 to 1. 2 being magicka and 1 being stamina. I put no points into health. My gal does not need to. She is presently level 54 and doing fine except for those lously dragon priests.
