Spellsword - Skill and attribute advice

I'm sure you know that not all Nords are jerks, oops, not all Altmer are jerks it's just the way they are written. And not all Dunmer are snooty thieves even if they are written that way. It's all in how you play them.

I still like the idea of using a paralyze spell as opposed to a poison. I don't intend to use bows at all if I can help it. Having it ranged, and having an unlimited supply seems extremely useful. That, and of course the magic resistance. I've never actually
crafted armor or enchanted before... ever. Never been a need, as I was always stealthy and ranged. If it could catch me, I deserved to die

Thanks, guys, you are so sweet. Magic is great but you have to use it exclusively early. And you need good sneak. If you can throw a fireball and then blend into the scenery while the bad things look for you then you will stay alive longer. I am still not
happy with my conjuration mage though. It takes too long to conjure a bow or a helper and the atronachs get weak against everything too fast. I think I just prefer flinging magic at them since that works close or at a distance.

CH, i would think with the heavy armor you would need stamina pretty fast. Once I got the hang of what I was doing, my lst two characters just spent their first 20 levels working on getting strong. I prefer to put all my levels into health and get my magic
as cheap as possible until it is free. You may find you have spread your perks around too much. I know I did at first. Of course, until you've played through a couple of times you don't really know that. I suck at swinging a sword so my non-mage is a stealthy
archer though she slings a mean fireball, too.

Mostly for survivability until I start leveling up my smithing and enchanting. Been holding off on those, as I don't want to level too quickly and mess myself up. Later on for paralyze and magic resistance. Looking to start eventually playing on Master
or Legendary if I'm feeling especially suicidal.

@lady I think in the heat of battle you can heal with spells but can't "toss" someone a potion, I don't see how that could work well if you have a TON of potions and having to go through them to give to a fellow player. It might be easier on computers versus
consoles, so its still to be seen.
