The problem is, I have a hard time coming up with a character who would really use Enchanting.
Most peoples' idea of an Enchanter would probably be some form of mage. However, in my experience, pure mages can get by pretty well without enchanting. Plus, my pure mages kill stuff with magic, not with weapons, so a good portion of the enchant experience would be skipped over. (It would be different if Enchanting allowed us to actually cast spells through items, like in Morrowind... then I could easily see being a scholarly mage type.)
The other two most basic archetypes, warriors and thieves, would probably avoid enchanting - at least for RP.
I guess some kind of hybrid is the best answer here, as I would want/need to use some physical weapon skill in order to get the most out of Enchanting. A spellsword or something. But I typically see spellswords as mercs, not studious researchers.
Clearly I just need to think of a different way to 'see' a character who would rely extensively on this skill. Any ideas for RP, build, or mechanics?
