My randon character

Post » Tue Sep 06, 2011 10:43 pm

Hello all. I'm not a new user despite my join date, but I seem to have lost my 2 year old identity Ho hum.

Anyway, for my last playthrough before Skyrim I decided to roll a completely random character and see where it led me So I've ended up with a middle aged female Khajit, with stealth specialization. Birth sign is Shadow. Primary skills are:-

Light Armour
Heavy Armour !
Block
Illusion
Destruction
Security
Sneak

I play on on PC with quite a few mods including OOO, Race Balancing Project, LAME, Realistic Fatigue, Duke Patrick's combat archery.

So, clearly I'm going to be some sort of thief/stealth character. My defensive stuff is very strong, with demoralize power and invisibility greater power, armour, block, sneak, I also seem to have 100% fire resistance thanks to the (RBP altered) racial and birthsign bonuses, but interestingly I only have destruction as an 'offensive' ability, and I understand Khajit are not great at magic.

I don't use any form of leveling mod, and normally just play naturally, taking the attribute bonuses as they come. With OOO this is possible because the leveling arms race is not such an issue.

I'm actually quite excited about the roleplaying possibilities here, I suspect that my character will have to do everything in her power to avoid combat except on her terms, and rely heavily on illusion to get her out of tricky situations.

So, what would you do with this build? What problems do you see for me, especially re leveling? What's her back story.

Sounds like a fun character. I've never played with OOO so I wish you luck!

How are you doing with both Heavy and Light armors?
What's your plans for having both?

Good character though. :thumbsup:

If you're going strict roleplay, I see "Staying Alive when backed into a corner" as your main issue, depending on how strict you keep your roleplaying (like limiting how many potions you allow yourself to carry). By "backed into a corner", I mean if you run out of potions, you can't regenerate magicka efficiently (no alchemy) nor can you restore health effectively ( lack of Restoration and, again, Alchemy). Add into this that destruction magic doesn't supply a sneak-bonus...

It'll be interesting, to say the least :)

No plan. It's a random character, that's what my randomizer gave me. I actually think I'm pretty lucky overall to end up with such a clearly defined character since everything was random, race, six, birthsign, specialisation, skills and even age (I threw a dice with 1 being youngest, 6 oldest, and I ended with a 3), this last one purely for role playing and face gen.
