So I am going to create a rumpelstiltskin themed character and need a bit of help so far the skills I think I should take are...

Alteration,
One handed (daggers)
Illusion (fear, and frenzy, maybe even calm)
Enchant
Sneak
Pickpocket

This is where I am not sure if I should take light armor or rely on alteration and the mage armor perk. I am also torn on if I should take speech craft just for the bonus to persuasion and intimidation perks.

As for race well I will have to play with each until I get the look i want, but i am leaning on breton or bosmer.

Any other recommendations?
