|
Can anyone help me make a jack all trades character so I can do a little of everything such as thieving, alchemy, enchant, armourer while having skills like marksmanship, axe, medium/heavy armour and speed/acrobat for combat and agility,
what is the best race/birth sign to use for such a character?...
so far Rodney, my char as these skills....
he is a nord and has the birthsign of The Steed and has Strength and Agility for the +10 bonus for attributes and has combat for specialization.
Major...............
Marksman
Axe
Medium Armour
Athletics
Blunt weapons
Minor...............
Acrobat
Armourer
Block
Security
Heavy armour |

I see no reason to have medium and heavy armor for skills. pick one and repalce the other with a minor in Alchemy.
2nd, you say you want a jack of all trades, but yet your character has nothing but combat skills with the exception of acrobat and security. Why not replace axe or blunt weapon with Restoration or Illusion.
Personally, I would swap block and athletics. |

Don't waste your time with medium armor. Glass armor (light) is better than any medium armor. You are going to want ebony, and deadric anyways. If I were to do a jack of all trades I would take a dark elf and do this:
major----------------
heavy armor
block
athletics
long blade
illusion
minor------------------
mysticism
blunt
security
armoror
alchemy
but it is pretty difficult to make a jack of all trades with the major and minor only. I would consetrate on just 2 like for me I like stealth and combat and just train as high as you can go in a couple magic ones and go from there. It will all even out in the end. I have made countless characters before I just used their assasin and now I think I have the best toon I could ever have.... |

Any character created in Morrowind is a jack of all trades. With a little practice your character can do a little of everything.
If you want a 'true' jack of all trades... just take a combat, a magic, and a thief skill as primaries for certain... and allocate the rest as you see fit.

That looks pretty solid to me. I would drop acrobatics because it advances quickly as a misc. skill though. I personally would go for Speechcraft instead, and maybe put it in the majors along with enchantment, drop axe and armor (I say go for heavy so you can build endurance for hit points) down to minors. The reason being I find that your primary weapon (axe) and armor skills rise quite quickly in the game, but unless you use tricks some of the less combat oriented skills rise rather slowly.
For this same reason I would definitely NOT take a combat specialization. Between Magic and Stealth i would go for stealth because like I say skills like speechcraft, mercantile, security, stealth can use a boost. OTOH, the magic specialty is nice because you start with higher spell schools and you can advance them along even if you don't actually cast THAT many spells.
For race and sign I don't really have that much advice, you should probably pick according to what you think is cool. I will say that the sign of the Mage is nice, giving you some extra magicka without the disadvantages conferred by The Apprentice or The Atronach. The Lady is also a really good sign - you can't fault some extra personality and endurance. For race, dark elf would not be such a great choice since you are using axes not long blades. Nord and Orc are the best Axe races, but Imperial has to be mentioned because their innate charm ability in INCREDIBLY useful, also Bretons are nice with their increased magicka and magical skills.
Eh, anyway good luck with it  Go with what feels right to you. |

The beauty of of the game is that 100 players could post here and they would give you 100 skill combinations.
Choose the sort of character you want to be, and model the skill allocations around that. However, be aware that a jack of all trades is a master of none, and you will be weak at most things compared with a character that concentrates on just a couple of main styles - eg melee/magic but not thieving.
I have a fighter/healer-mystic and he copes very well thus far (level 14). He's a Redguard with his birthsign being the Mage, but his specialisation is combat, and his skills are thus:
Major:
Long blade
Medium armour
Restoration
Athletics
Armororer
Minor:
Block
Enchant
Mercantile
Destruction
Mysticism |
