Well, I have decided to start a class based off of the DA: Origins Templar
Here is how I would make the build

Focus: Strength
Main Attributes: Strength and Endurance
Birthsign: Atronach (50% Magic Absorption)
Major Skills
1. Block
2. Heavy Armor
3. Blade
4. Restoration
5. Athletics
6. ---?---
7. ---?---

Well that has what I got so far, what I need help with is my Major Skills and what items I should use to get that last bit of absorption.
Obviously the sorcerers ring is a very good choice for the later on organization of things...

But early on in the game, what enchantments are available to me (The one thing I hate about the level scaling, you cant get SH--) early on from level 1-10 that I can get a 100% or 80+ for spell absorption.
That, and are there any artifacts that would be Key to my character?
And what should be my last 2 skills, if not Armorer (I really think that would be a good one)


I decided on absorption because it is the easiest obtainable, the best way to beat a mage is to use their powers against them, other than reflect spell what better than this?

Lastly, I really need a decent weapon I can use, I think I should go with a weapon with Soultrap (1 second) and the rest put on something useful, along with Azuras Star to be able to constantly refill.





I would really appreciate your opinions and concerns.

In a non modded game, perform the Oblivion gate crisis early on.
As most loot is not worth the leveling, but absorbtion sigils are plentiful and you can just reload untill you get what you want.
Other than that FT to frostcrag buy some mage tallow candles in IC with some grand soul gems and scrolls, and just enchant your own.

I think but am not sure, that the absorb effect from the BS means you don't need a spell to gain this effect.
