How is this build? I haven't made it in-game yet, to see how it plays in character creation. This is just a loose framework feel free to give your input and advice on what changes need to made.

It looks decent but I wouldn't bother with the acute hearing as it doesn't actually help much and it actually makes it harder to find a place to rest in dungeons. Since you can hear the monsters from farther away you must therefore get that much farther away to rest.

So skip acute hearing.It sounded useful but from what your saying its sounds like it does more harm then good.

yeah I made a kahjitt thief once and figured it should have acute hearing but I ended up throwing the character away because I couldn't get though any dungeons Athleticism is really good though if you plan on running and jumping a LOT or use heavy weapons.

This is the build, I'm using right now. And I'm sure, this is the best Daggerfall character build ever.

Race: Doesn't matter at all
Class: Custom

Attributes:

Agility: 60
Speed: 60
Strength: 60
Endurance: 60
Luck: As much as it possible
Intelligence: 15
Willpower: 15
Personality: the rest

To achieve those values you need during class creation make Strength, Speed, Agility and Endurance to be 55. Intelligence and Willpower drop to 15. Increase luck to maximum (75). The rest of skill points give to Personality.
At final character generation reroll untill Strength, Speed, Agility and Endurance will be less or equal to 60. Then distribute skill points to make them all 60. The rest of skill points give to Luck. If luck is 100% and you have extra skill pioints left, give them to Personality.

I guess, you understand what that physical attributes of value 60 means: your character generated to become a lycantrope. So, you have to catch lycantropy and become a were-creature ASAP. Now all your physical attributes at 100%. All you need then is to join a knightly order, get "The Artifact" quest, summon Hircine receive Hircine's Ring. Viola! Your "Best Character Ever" is ready!
