Ancient Nordic gauntlets- sneaking \ heavy armor increase
Penitus oculatus helmet waterbreathing \ bows do more
Aetherial crown - two active stones with this (lover and steed)

Gold ring - shock and fire resist


She's wielding
Nordic sword, Nordic greatsword, stalhrim bow w\ dragonbone arrows.

Evol: Battlemage Assassin? (Best thing I can think of to describe my current roleplaying I'm doing for now)

Name:Necromancy Armor
Emphasis in destruction/conjuration/one hand with a small boost to magicka

Only carry blades sword, dagger, and mace. Also a shield that I carry but only break out for ice dragons.

Blades Sword: Icing Death
76 pts of frost damage
76 pts of shock damage

Dagger (Daedric): Ice Shard
76 pts of frost damage
76 pts of shock damage

Mace (Glass):
Absorb magicka
Paralysis
(I currently have a nameless mace that I carry but rarely use in my left hand. Mostly only when dual wielding to raise speed. If you have any suggestions feel free to suggest a better name or enchantment combo. Or any on my current armor or weapon carry combination.)

That's all I carry. Plus soul gems to capture souls.

I don't fast travel ever...unless...
I carry 5 black soul gems and I only fill them with bandit leaders. Once I fill them all that allows me to fast travel anywhere. And back to where I was if I want.

This is my current role play I do.

Tell me what you think!!!

@Evol, when you dual wield, put the faster weapon in the off hand(left hand). Dual wielding speed is determined by the speed of the off hand weapon. So instead of having the mace in the off hand, have your dagger or sword there for faster swing speed.

Also, do you have Dragonborn dlc? Chaos would be a great enchant to have instead. :wink:

@sinister, thanks for the tip. I will try that. I thought it uped the speed the other way around but I guess I was wrong. Is it true if you attack with the faster weapon first then the slower one it will also raise speed or not?

And no I don't. I'm gonna buy it but I was planning on finishing main quest first. I've only just beat alduin for the first time on alduins bane quest (on legendary!!!). What does DB dlc do? Just add that extra island and give more quest? I'm new to posting here and just have been playing for about 3-4 months alot.

It only increases the speed of the dual wielding power attacks.

Dragonborn adds new land, weapons, armor, shouts, quests, etc. I gotta say, it's the best of the dlc, but dawnguard is pretty great to in it's own way.

Yeah I was gonna get dragonborn first. I like archery so I wanna try crossbows. I'm not much into the vampire/werewolf thing however I just started a vampire wood elf named Assaj. I immediately turned after I left Helgen and liberated anide's cabin. I plan on roleplaying a vampire to see what its like. Sleeping daily, Eating. Stuff like that. I don't have a pure role play or dead is dead character so I am doing both on this new character. Probably no smithing or enchanting.

I didn't think I'd be into Dawnguard, as I'm not into vampires much either, but the storyline turned out to be really good and it was very enjoyable. (I started by picking the vampire side but found it not that good, so chose the Dawnguard side instead, which imo is more fun).

So, now wearing:

Morokei (me likey the increased magicka regen rate a lot)
Nightingale Gloves
Still wearing glass armour of mending, leather boots of hauling

Wielding:

Chain lightning (if with follower) or Fireball
For high level baddies, whip out Lightning Storm
Alternate between Nightingale Blade and Mace of Molag Bal if needing soul gem fills
If magicka has run out (Staff of Icy Spear)

Sylmirie the Altmer conjurer is wielding master robes of conjuration, an adept magicka hood, elven boots enchanted with fire resistance, scaled bracers enchanted with fortify magicka, her wedding band which gives fortify restoration, and the Gauldur amulet. She typically summons, casts a flesh spell, then goes to destruction with a staff in one hand, and a frost spell in the other. Her shout is something icy. :)

Currently I'm messing around with magic for fun after respeccing with some of my extra dragon souls I haven't used in a while. I'm in my Arch Mage Robes and some enchanted gloves/boots and donning the Aetherial crown to top it off. Not using weapons but I do have the Spellbreaker and Mehrunes razor on me.

I'm doing an ice build right now and even though Fire/lightning are better I think it's the more satisfying school due to the Icy Spear spell being macabre as it gets. I love aiming for the enemies groin or head.

After mastering the Enchanting tree I created three different bows for my archer assassin:

Imperial Bow, Fire and Fear. Named 'Screak'. Intended to take the target out of the fight while I deal with their friends. A crowd control weapon.

Orcish Bow, Frost and Paralyze. Named 'Whisper'. Intended to keep the target immobilized for subsequent shots.

Ebony Bow, Shock and Fiery Soul Trap. Named 'Dark Spark'. Intended to make the target remain perfectly still and leave the scene of battle forever, all at the same time.
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

My khajiit (4 lyfe character) is wearing atm... Stahlrim heavy gear+The Battleaxe with the Aetherial Crown as the helmet and an Enhanced Dwarven crossbow for ranged.

Basically it makes me look like a feline barbarian King. I still have my glass armor set I made years ago but after a long time of deciding I think I prefer the Stahlrim gear aesthetically and it's also Heavy Armor which suits my playstyle much better than light armor.

I just love Great critical charge, it just tears bad guys (or good guys) up and the +25% frost damage bonus on the axe affects chaos damage as well which makes a weapon beyond compare and effects all races equally.

Life is good.

Larawen, Bosmer assassin and hunter:

Wears the Dark Brotherhood Shrouded armor, gloves, and boots or the Savior's Hide with fur bracers and boots shoes (all armored pieces are in original condition). A copper and onyx circlet fortifying Alchemy and Archery. A silver ring fortifying Archery and Magic Resistance. An Amulet of Zenithar signifying her dedication to work and fair trade. An enchanted Smithing apron, and a silver ring and brown gloves fortifying both Alchemy and Smithing. Nice but not fancy dresses with black calf-high boots for socializing, miner's clothes with brown lowcut boots for hard labor, and the Magickal Underwear of Hauling for sleeping.

Wields as her primary weapon an Ebony Bow, Legendary-tempered and with a Shock Damage effect. She uses Ebony arrows for fighting and Iron arrows for hunting. She also carries an Ebony dagger, Legendary-tempered and unenchanted. She does not yet have the Blade of Woe at the time of this post.

Edit: So far, most of her DB jobs have been completed by wielding some poison and the Poisoned perk from the Pickpocket skill tree..

Right now my imperial sword and board warrior is decked out in steel armor with the nordic style guantlet and grieves and I have the horned steel helmet. Don't have it enchanted as I want to wait until I get my smithing up enough to craft steel plate armor then I will enchant that as a more permanent set of armor. Will also be getting a set of heavy Imperial armor when I start the civil war questline and I will have to temper and enchant that. Will also be getting Dawngard heavy armor for when I do the Dawngard quests. My main adventuring set will be the steel plate armor. Also thinking of going with the carved Nordic gear. I think it looks good on a sword and board warrior and even though this character is an imperial I still think the nordic themed gear fits the character well.
