I like it mate! For my Legion Forester i wear the Green wool shirt, blacksmith pants, leather bracers and leather boots! Either a silver or fine steal bow aswell! Do you switch between the different builds depending on what your doin or are they separate characters?
Thanks m@nyt1mes for an awesome avatar!

When you guys say leather bracers, you mean leather gauntlets, right?

From the Wiki-

"*Leather bracers are wrist armor that can be worn in place of gauntlets; they are not considered to be part of the full set of leather armor. They can be purchased at Archer's Paradox in Bravil; they are worn by Baurus, Jalbert, Kurz gro-Baroth, Shaleez, one of the Clarabella pirates, and some Imperial Legion Foresters."

its a shame that you can't get legion armor without murdering a guard unless you get lucky and find one that has already been taken care of on the road. :D i always get mine from the defense of kvatch quest and also there are always two guards fighting each other near bruma (in very gamesave i play).

but those are really good ideas! I would def try one out :D

There's also an enchanted pair of leather bracers called Bands of Kwang Lao that can be stolen from Saliith and Branwen's chest in Imperial City's Arena district. It gives a hefty +20 bonus to Hand to Hand, and is worth a lot of money if fenced.

just make sure you have a very good sneak and lockpick skill before attempting but it is sure worth it!

There's a safe spot from behind the crates near the chest. You can go in Sneak mode and pick the lock with crap Sneak and Security ratings, in broad daylight.

A Harbinger is the perfect name for an Imperial Legion build that sits between a Scout and a Soldier. A little faster, lighter than the Soldier; a little more equipped than the Scout.
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.

There's usually one near the Inn of Ill Omen.

Here's a list of their locations.
