This build can struggle against casters before getting Apocalypse Proof, but otherwise its only weakness is enemies you can't reach (again, flying dragons). Sneak is mostly for getting into a better position.

Smithing lets you keep your weapons in tip-top shape. The Perform tree in Speech can earn you a few interesting perks and some cash. Since youвЂ™ll be blocking a lot, youвЂ™ll want some Health, picking up Stamina later.

Get the timing of your blocks down to muscle memory, and youвЂ™ll be rewarded later when you can parry and riposte. This will also increase your attack speed for a short while, letting you cut enemies to ribbons.ДЄt first, youвЂ™ll play a pretty standard One-Handed warrior. After eightВ regular attacks, you can proc Thundering Blow and use a power attack. With swords, you can debuff enemy attack power and give them a little bleed effect, as well. With timed blocks and power attacks, youвЂ™ll punish enemies for getting too close. Until you unlock it, you can run with a shield just fine. This Skyrim OrdinatorВ build attempts to emulate the Swashbuckler, a melee fighter with surprising tankiness.

DonвЂ™t forget that Fortify Stamina enchants will increase your damage! The Gloves of the Pugilist in RiftenвЂ™s Ratway will be a huge early help with its flat bonus. You canвЂ™t apply poison onto your fists, but you can still make use of beneficial potions through Alchemy and use Brotherhood Cocktail to slip them to an unaware enemy. SheвЂ™s pragmatic, but doesnвЂ™t care to (metaphorically) punch down. LarkeвЂ™s utility makes her a great trader in both legitimate and stolen goods. If your Stamina starts dropping, just swap to a bow until it recovers. Pick up Frost Resistance, since the Stamina drain from those spells will also tank your unarmed damage and thus wreck your day. Add some Health for survivability, but then start improving your Stamina, since your current Stamina affects your unarmed damage. ItвЂ™s vital to snag Light Armor Mastery first, getting the necessary 20 Light Armor skill to get Iron Fist. The Pickpocket perks give you an extra 100 carrying capacity, so you can lug around more loot than your average adventurer.Д®arly on, youвЂ™ll need to rely on Archery for combat, but resist the urge to make another stealth archer. Of course, thatвЂ™s only if you manage to get spotted in the first place. This Sneak-based build will require some clever thinking to take on enemies.ДЄt higher levels, youвЂ™ll weave in and out of melee range, relying on your huge Stamina pool to amplify your unarmed damage. Blending the Rogue and Brawler, every encounter is a deadly dance.
