I was hoping to start a white knight kind of guy. Playing Oblivion's KotN makes me want to do it again. However, any tips for equipment? I was thinking using Restoration, One Handed, Heavy Armor as some basic skills. What other skills would be good? For equipment, I was thinking Dawnbreaker and that winged helmet(it' heavy armor, so hence why I'm going heavy armor)

If anyone can point me to some decent equipment, and possibly what skills would be great would be cool.

i did this

Perks on 1h weapon, block, heavy armor, restoration, alteration, enchanting and smithing

I always use the Dwarven Armor and weapons (its a golden armor) i was thinking later using dragonplate because is white

hope this help

Blade's Armor and Dragonsbane would work well.

Maybe Alteration would do nicely? Since your character won't. Be too dependent on magicka you could afford to spend some at the beginning of a fight on the armor increase. And before I get attacked by people saying "You can just hit the armor cap by smithing so alteration is pointless!" In my opinion the shield spell is both more fun and logical for a White Knight / Paladin. Maybe shield too but its up to you.

What do you do specifically with alteration and enchanting? I haven't dabbled much in either of those fields. Sounds interesting though.

I'd use steel plate armor. I think it looks very "knightly".

alteration help me get more armor until i get the cap with smithing and perks, also give me resistance and absorb magic to kill casters and dragons
enchanting gave me more dmg on 1h weapons, reduce cost on resto spells and give me a more larger magicka pool

in oblivion i made one using the elven light armour, but the most holy looking armour iv seen in skyrim is the dwemer

/agree

I'm doing one now! He's got a nordic spin though, so it's not your average sword+shield combo:

1. Heavy armor for sure. I used Wolf Armor and a quality skyforge steel blade up until I could start getting Steel Plate. Used a silver sword for undead until I could start crafting nordic hero blades. I ended up actually finding Steel Plate Armor of the Knight, which is now what I use. It's got an enchantment to boost my heavy armor skill by 20 points or so. Once I get high enough level, I'll switch to ebony. I've been using Dragon Priest masks, but I think I'll stop using them because they seem kind of evil in a way, and don't look very paladin-like. Even though I love Otar and it's ability to protect me from magic (a thing I love as a paladin).

2. I use greatswords exclusively.

3. I will never use any kind of "darker/evil" magical effects/equipment except ones that fall under restoration. What I find to be very useful in hard undead dungeons (the perfect home for a paladin!) is to go into spirit form, then activate a scroll of guardian circle or bane of the undead or something. I'll never use scrolls of blizzard or anything.

4. Lots of resist magic potions if I can afford/find them.

5. Smithing, but only to improve weapons, not to abuse the system and get the best gear ASAP

6. Dawnbreaker is great, but ultimately better suited as a wall ornament when you are like me and specialize in giant greatswords.

Really not much to it beyond that. Basically its just like being a warrior, except you make special amendments to things that look holy or work against the use of bad-magic/undead/etc. Oh! and I always wear an amulet to X divine, even if I find a better amulet down the road.

Gloves of the pugilist. Nothing lime a paladin doing h2h finishers

Do the Companions quests, get access to Skyforge exclusive weapons, get an Aincient Nord Greatsword from any old Draugr dungeon, use Skyforge to craft a Nord Hero Greatsword, enchant it with either a fire, shock or (and if you have the enchanting skill) a turn undead enchantments. Get some Steel Plate Armour, improve and enchant it with the following

Helm: Fortify Restoration
Curiass: Fortify Health
Gauntlets: Fortify 2h
Boots: Fortify Stamina
Ring: Fortify Magicka
Necklace: Amulet of Talos (for RP) or Fortify Heavy Armour.

Level up Restoration, 2h, heavy armour as your primary skills. Enchanting and smithing as secondary skills.

I had a lot of fun with this build, I got my armour to Epic (so far) and have become near unstoppable.
