Masochist Spec

Post » Fri Jun 08, 2012 10:50 am

Basic Overview:

No armor
No weapons

Pickpocketing
Lockpicking
Sneak
Alchemy
Enchanting
Speech
Restoration (optional)

My main reason for including Restoration is for the Necromage perk, since I do plan on making this character a vampire. However, the way the playstlye works is you basically rely heavily on the pickpocket-poison method while sneaking around, since obviously you're unarmored and have very little attack power/health. In higher levels, you'll be able to enchant a pair of gloves and a ring with unarmed damage, but there's still the issue with getting hit and dying. On my character, I've not put ANY points into health, as to make it even more challenging. Yes, this is on master difficulty. No, I'm not playing as a khajiit or an argonian--orcs baby, orcs.

My character wears the ragged trousers and execution hood, as well as any random pairs of gloves and boots that can be enchanted at higher levels. Also he wears any necklace and ring that can be swapped out with whatever I find that's any better at the time.

This spec is meant to provide a challenge. It's meant to be a fight for survival. The best part about it is, I'm an orc, so I do have an "osht" button with the Berserker Rage, but I'm also roleplaying somewhat with the Code of Malacath, so I'm NOT a thief. I obtain pickpocket levels via training until level 40, but I do not go around stealing every little thing out of everyone's pockets, nor do I break into homes and steal all of their stuff, so it's literally a fight to survive without going overboard. Since I get a lot of my skills through NPC training, money is always tight, so I do a lot of small jobs such as mining or picking wheat.

Once Dawnguard comes out, this'll get a little trickier. I'll probably never feed, so most of my questing will come before the expansion, and the vampire lord form will only rely on the poison claws spec (whatever the official name is) that ties in perfectly with the regular form melee + poison playstyle used normally.

What do you guys think?

Get Stealth up high enough, and you won't even need to kill, most of the time...
