Or.....simply self report the post to a moderator and ask them to correct the title......they are normally pretty good about that sort of thing if you explain its to avoid confusion. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I notice that none of the types of fighters have block as a skill (unless the "Shield" beside the Scout is block... but he's the only one. Anyway, it seems to me that for fighters whether they be battlemage, knights, or whatever should have a block skill of some sort. Perhaps block given as an unperkable freebie (except for the Scout)? I guess that would make the freebies Speech, Lockpicking, and Block? Edited by neildarkstar, Jan 15 2017, 12:40 PM.

Any non DW type would know how to block you'd think. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

And the game has it wrong, because even dual wielders should be able to block. The most common kind of left-handed weapon was a main-gauche, which is a parrying dagger. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Since you're talking about block, i just had an idea of a "Vanguard" class: One-handed Block Heavy Armor Alteration - defensive buffs Illusion - for courage - defensive buffs for allies and frenzy - taunt (this is the closest i could find to those abilities) |

Possible "Sorcerer/Conjurer" class: Conjuration, Armor (either), 1 Hand, Archery, Enchanting Uses both bound weapons and summoned help; no physical weapons. |

Not sure that they would have to be battle-type classes. A character could complete the CW Unification without melee engagement to a great extent. Although it is "all about war and such" a character could approach it as a peacemaker (even though we, behind the :joe: , know there will be no peace without some red stuff flying around). They'd have to adapt to the inevitable, but that wouldn't necessarily mean they'd have to do the bonking-on-the-head when they could just get someone else to do it. :evil: Illusion, Old Rusty Sword (for those oh crap moments), shield, light armor, enchant/smith as an example. With regards to "classes", which TES has trended away from, I'm wondering if we should for this competition present the kind of character each one of us would like to play with say, 6 skills identified and for all characters have the typical freebies for speech, lock picking. This would provide greater "class" type flexibility, for example, a magic wielding Knight vs. a Knight that abhors magic of any kind. Both capable of completing the Unification of Skyrim. The creation of "your character's build" could be a part of the competition in order to give us a base of builds for future competitions. Here's a couple builds based on discussions in this thread. P.S. just my 2 septims* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Example: Warrior (no magic) 1. Heavy Armor 2. 2-hand 3. Block 4. Archery 5. Smithing 6. Enchanting (speech) (lock picking) Example: Shield Mage 1. Illusion 2. Destruction 3. Block 4. Light Amor 5. Smithing 6. Enchanting (speech) (lock picking) *all septims left in a post are subject to collection by Grits :) Edited by Brambleberry, Jan 15 2017, 02:57 PM.

Sooo... I decided to try the knight as given back on page one (with enchant added, though I haven't used it at all), and... I definitely won't be playing a knight in competition. I have Skytest and OBIS installed, and in Embershard Mine I encountered a bandit mage of some sort that used a vicious version of sparks. If you've encountered the three "soldiers" who want to fine you for being in a restricted area, she was very much like the spellcaster in that trio. No, she didn't manage to kill me, but I couldn't survive long enough to close to her and bash her head in... Meantime, I used up ALL of my healing potions, cant make any more, and I'm having to tiptoe around all the other baddies in the area after that encounter. Embershard is not/will not be cleared anytime soon. The lack of sneak and any ranged attack is really difficult to deal with. Meantime, the skeever who replaced a bandit at that first tower below Bleak Falls is exceedingly tough for reasons I don't really understand... (I'm on Master) One of the deadliest opponents I've faced isn't actually an opponent. It's just a shield laying on the floor by Alvor's bed. I'd been using the cookpot, and decided to turn and go to bed. Stumbled over the shield and lost two-thirds of my health before I could quit stumbling around in the dark. Eeesh... |

Thought I'd put a few out there just for kicks. These are just suggestions and can be morphed to suit one's desires. :D Edited by Brambleberry, Jan 15 2017, 08:36 PM.

Bram your "Paladin" is identical to the "Knight" from page 1 that I'm currently playing... or trying to. The character isn't really very viable, especially on higher difficulty. Just killed Mirmulnir, but it took forever. Running all over the place, unable to inflict any damage at all until he finally landed close enough for me to take a swing... and then, he bit my head off! Reminded me of a wife I used to have... |

Well hmmm. I used to just dual-wield katanas, and wade in swinging. Of course, I only play tgm which is SO not kosher for you guys.... But then.... I discovered stealth archer. Heh. Bingo. |

yeah, Bram's "Ranger" would be my personal first choice. I've been playing this character just trying to figure out how viable it is. It would probably be okay on Adept difficulty, but on Master it's a disaster. Especially given the notion that Knights aren't supposed to run away from Skeevers... Can you imagine the bard's tale? Sir Shathead then spake unto the Skeever "Damned beast, I will send the to thy fate!" Whereupon the Skeever smote Sir Shathead so sorely that he fell to his knees with his shield split in twain. The skeever in a most foul move grabbed Sir Shathead by his ears, and planted a huge kiss firmly upon the tortured knight's twisted lips. At that, Sir Shathead jumped to his feet, and ran screaming off into the gathering gloom, never to be heard from again... Edited by neildarkstar, Jan 15 2017, 11:23 PM.
