We recommendGrahtwoodas your origin.
This grants +10 Endurance at the cost of Personality, assisting with the build’s survivability.
This works on virtually all non-human entities in the game, including Atronachs and most Daedra.
This should make melee combat much easier with this class.

Your remaining skills are mostly up to preference.
We highly recommend givingMercantilea try.
At 100 Mercantile, vendors can sell enchanted Glass and even Daedric gear much earlier than otherwise.
Pair this withAlchemyfor an easy source of gold.
Security is a good choice, but we actually recommend going withAlterationinstead.

Pick One
The Thief
The Mage
Grants +10 Agility, Luck, and Speed.
For optimal play,The Thiefis your best option.
It gives +10 to three stats we care about: Agility, Luck, and Speed.
This gives you a whopping +50 Magicka, equivalent to 25 points of Intelligence.
We look at where to start when tackling Oblivion: Remastered.
Frostwyrmis a powerful bow you’re able to get right after you leave the sewers.
Make your way to Dive Rock on the northeast corner of Cyrodiil.
You’ll find a book at the abandoned camp with directions to a nearby Frost Troll.
Kill the troll and loot its corpse to get your hands on this bow.
This troll is rather tough, so bring a few potions and arrows beforehand.
Look for a hidden side dungeon named The Embers of Hatred near the edge of the zone.
It deals immense fire damage and slows targets on hit.
