I'm playing a Khajit for the first time, and I wanted to know what build he should have. I'd rather not have a thief, because I already have too much thieves and assassins. So if somebody could help me with making a different, fitting build, I'd be very obliged.

This is the bonus of Khajiit

+10 sneak
+5 alchemy, archery, lockpicking, pickpocket, and one-handed.

So he is more suitable for thieves/assassin, but of course if you want to be something else, it is totally fine (you can play mage/warrior if you want. no one stopping you)

Anyone realise why the MOD sent us to the thread with less posts on it?

If you look at the time both of them were created. This one was creadted first, but it is strange that this one wasn't the one that got locked.

Lore wise? Everything khajiit are known for playstyle-wise has been well....toned down in the game. They're thieves, but they're extremely quick, acrobatic, agile, nimble, and use hand to hand martial arts. I suggest using enchanted gloves to increase your hand to hand skill. The acrobatics and speed thing you cant do anything about, but wear light or no armor and try to use the terrain to your advantage.

Look at their bonuses, not that it really matters. Any race can do well in any class.

But lore wise they're supposed to be great warriors, martial arts masters, and awesome at stealth.

We cats can be everybody, the more versatile team, the better!

khajits are generally thieves. But you can be what no matter what race you, thats the beauty of TES (and ontop of everything else) but certain races have different bonus's. Thats all.

I think he just wants suggestions for a lore friendly khajiit build.

......what?

only way to get around this by a mod

about lore:

why are they more khajiit in the DB and the thief guild quest line, since the khajiit should be the best race for that class? (yes, they can do anything, but lore says they are forced into that role because they are not allow in the cities and/ or look down upon...)

Um...okaaaaaaaaaaaay. Well anyway, Khajiit are pretty much made for the Thief skills +alchemy, +lockpick, +sneak etc. But you can perhaps go mage like the great J'zargo. My brother is a Khajiit and he is a brilliant thief and is also good in combat, even against dragons.

Actually they're "forced" into the role of thieves because they have little sense of property. They see shiny things and think "Pretty....." and just take it, plus they enjoy the thrill of not getting caught. As I said before though, Khajiit are traditionally acrobatic, quick thieves known for their unarmed martial arts techniques. But....that's sort of hard to accomplish without athletics, unarmed, or acrobatics, so you're better off just being a regular old thief like everyone else.
