I want to start a character that is based off of a Valkyrie. Does anybody have any ideas about it? I was thinking of
One handed
Heavy armor
Restoration
Destruction? For lightning bolts?
But I'm not too sure if I want destruction or archery
And maybe block also

This is primarily for role playing but any weapon spell or armor ideas too please

ohh thats a pretty cool idea, i think i would go destruction over archery so you can weild a sword and throw lightning at the same time. your going to invest into some magic for restoration anyway.

for armor and weapons i would probobly go with ebony, as its stark black/white in color and has no faction connected to it. i would go with a white/black/ maybe gold color scheme.

whats a Valkyrie, sorry if its a dumb question

Lawlieta, your sig made me laugh

lol, glad you liked it

pretty much a female norse angel of war

Valkyries are the norse gods messengers, all female holy warriors. they appear and take the honored warriors souls of the dead to the halls of Valhalla.


i'd go with steal plate armor on consul versions
weapons would be one handed swords and bows

Wow, that's weird. I looked up valkyrie yesterday and planned one myself. That's not something I usually do... That's really, really weird

wow they seem pretty cool, my character Bilal is sorta the polar opposite of that, might be fun to be a good character

Now me I would add speechcraft, obviously from a role playing rather than effectiveness viewpoint. Why? They were described as the lovers of heroes, the daughters of nobles. Need that persuade and allure. Or maybe I am over thinking things.

thinking of something else

too bad you're missing spears and winged horses as those are valkyrie staples

Id say use sword and shield, wear steel plate armor with steel nord gauntlets and boots and a circlet. Use archery for ranged combat because they were magical but not known to attack with magic.
Storm call shout and the last 1 you get from the main quest would fit imo

That was kind of the influence I had with this character:

The Helm of Yngol and the Ebony Mail would look total bad-ass for this character. ^^

I would say 1h and block, use swords (to bad there is no spears in this game) and they are often portrayted using shield.

Heavy armor is good but don't think you should use deadric and that kind of armor. Use more "norse looking" armor (steal, steal plate and so on)

Restoration could be used in a rp sense (they retrive fallen soldiers to Valhall). Not sure about destruction don't think they use magic in that kind of sense, think it's more a "unicorn" deal magical but not using magic.
Illusion could be an option if you stick to rally, and mby fear spells (don't it's to long a stretch in thinking that most ppl run rather than fight a valkyrie). Calm spells would be a bit iffy, they prob kill an enemy rather than "calm" him. On the other hand for rp calm spells could be used on soldier you would want to "retrive" (pretend they are dead or something). But I would skip on calm spells.

Make sure you play as a female, and use a horse as much as you can.
