I'm thinking of starting an Altmer scholar, who loves treasure hunting, think Indiana Jones. I'm struggling to find a good build for the character though, I want him to use magic but being a pure mage is boring for me and I don't want to do a Battle Mage build as my sig character is kind of close to that. I'm thinking as he is a scholar that he may hire a mercenary for protection, so I'm thinking of a build where he doesn't have to rely on close combat, something where he can support a good attacking companion.

Any build ideas would be welcome.

...Archery?

Conjuration, to have two companions; Restoration, to heal them; Illusion, to buff their stats and hide yourself; Sneak, ditto; Enchantment and Smithing to give them good gear; Speechcraft purely for roleplay (to be persuasive enough to attract followers).

i think this pretty much covers everything you would ever need for this particular build

Have a look at some of these bulds, they might suit the Indiana style.

Some great builds in there. I may nick one or slightly alter it, thanks.

Good idea with the build,to make more of a challange don't wear armour just reagular clothes. You could use the Illusion for armour though.
