Race: Argonian
Birthsign: Warrior
Class: Pilgrim
Premise:
I wanted a character who explores Ayleid ruins, and collects all sort of items from throughout Cyrodiil. He is a collector, merchant, dealer in antiquities. But he obtains items on his own rather than hiring out the work like Umbacano does. So, he must be a sturdy adventurer.
I decided he should be physically formidable, if not dominating. I wanted him to have the following:
- Ability to fix his own armor and weapons, even magical items.
- High level of skill at Mercantile in order to trade effectively and to invest.
- Skill with blade and perhaps light armor in order to defend himself.
- At least moderate Security skill in order to access ruins, vaults, etc.
- Considerable strength to add to his fighting skill and to enable him to carry large quantities of loot.
Somehow this idea got combined in my mind with a desire to play an Argonian for the first time. I thought this race might be a good choice for more extensive exploration of Blackwood, Lower Niben, and East Niben than I have previously done.
Even though the idea of "Pilgrim" doesn't quite mesh, the Pilgrim's abilities along with the Warrior birthsign seemed a nice fit.
Warrior gives him additional strength and endurance making him a more formidable physical opponent.
The Argonian race gives him water-breathing, which gives him easier access to some locations and items. It also gives him bonuses to blade and security, which match my goal as described above. The race also makes him more likely at home in Blackwood.
Pilgrim is suitable because it does not have blade as a major skill and because it does have armorer, mercantile, and security as majors. The other skills are filler, which helps to make leveling more manageable.
Because Pilgrim has no more than two skills associated with any attribute, it is one of the best standard classes for leveling under control.
The name was inspired by some Argonian NPC's in Leyawiin.
