What’s a fun/ roleplay build you made that turned out to be really powerful?
I decided to make a necromancer Breton who completely ignored armor and weapon skills and endurance. The idea was to create the worst possible one on one combat character who uses all the magic schools except destruction to get by.
Turns out with majors in conjuration, alteration, mysticism, illusion and alchemy, which all start at 40 or 45, and starting at 60 intelligence and willpower i can fly around, go invisible, and calm, frenzy or paralyze whoever I want summoning greater bonewalkers and skeletons over and over.
The magic skills mean I can advance through mage guild and telvanni rapidly without having to level up much, and alteration is enough to reliably unlock 100 locked chests. So now I’ve got mentors ring, drakes pride, scourge, cuirass of the saviors hide and aryons gloves at level 2 without going out of my way for anything specific. That also means I can wear boots of blinding speed with no cheese spell when I come across them.
