Nightblade build

Post » Sat Mar 05, 2011 5:59 pm

I'm going to need a bit help for my Nightblade build. Here's what I have so far:

Race: Dunmer
Birthsign: The Thief
Specialisation: Magic
Attributes: Intelligence, Willpower

Skills:
Blade
Destruction
Illusion
Light Armor
Mysticism
Restoration
?

The way I'm going to play is hiding in the shadows and sneaking up on people and attacking them with a sword (possibly poisoned), then use magic to help kill the enemy and stay hidden. I don't want to use bow and arrow, as I find it kinda frustrating in a way.

What's your opinions on this?

Very interesting. So why The Thief?
And if you are on a pc I would recommend "attack and hide" and "supreme magica" (gives you sneak attack bonus with magic).

Edit: and why no sneak (is it to power train)?

1. Well, I really like the attribute bonuses, and I figured I didn't need that much magicka; though I'm not sure, I have never not chosen The Mage on a (partially) magic build.
2. Sadly, I'm on Xbox.
3. I figured Sneak would level up quickly enough on it's own. (It usually does that, even if it's a minor).

I see.
In that case I would put acrobatics as the last skill. In my experience it develops slowly and a sneak character is more fun with a high acrobatics
