Planes Walker

Redguard - Dagger - Clothing - Light - Dual Wield - Warrior

Background

Planes Walkers are blessed and cursed with the great power to move freely between the planes. They are aware of the order of things and have a particular distain for Daedra being in Nirn. They focus on sending them back to Oblivion and their appropriate plane.

---

Weapons

Steel Daggers and then upgraded to Skyforge Steel Daggers if you play with the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch (USSEP) as this allows for them to be tempered. They become available from Eorlund at the Skyforge once you have returned from Dustman’s Cairn as part of the Companions quest chain.

---

Armor

The Leather Scout set should be crafted as soon as you can, as it’s the best armour that uses just leather and it doesn’t require any smithing perks. The final gear is a Gold and Ruby Circlet, Thieves Guild Armor, Leather Bracers and Dawnguard Boots.

The Thieves Guild armor is acquired in Riften by completing the first quest for the Thieves Guild once you get to the Ragged Flagon. You should automatically be approached to join the guild in the marketplace.

Dawnguard Light Boots can be found on the battlements of Fort Dawnguard. They can be taken for free at any level.

Spells

Alteration for utility spells. Restoration for heals.

---

Standing Stones

The Atronach Stone for 50% spell absorption, 50 Magicka but -50% magicka regen.

---

Shrines

Use a shrine of Talos for 20% cooldown to shouts.

---

Shouts

Become Ethereal (Fade - Spirit - Bind)

Location: Ironbind Barrow, Lost Valley Redoubt, Ustengrav (Horn of Jurgen Windcaller).

Allows you to become temporarily invulnerable while also using no stamina while running. I only used a single word of this as with a Blessing of Talos it has a 16 second cooldown and allows for up to 8 seconds of invulnerability.

Whirlwind Sprint (Whirlwind - Fury - Tempest)

Location: Dead Men’s Respite, Volskygge, High Hrothgar (The Way of the Voice)

Use to reach otherwise inaccessible places and to quickly evade attacks or catch up with fleeing enemies.

Character Creation

Female Redguard

Imperials and Redguard come out joint first with on 20/35 points. I based the looks for this build on Kaya in the Dungeons and Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set from Magic: The Gathering, which means that Redguard is the best fit. They also have better starting combat stats and a very fast stamina regeneration ability once a day, which will be useful in the early game when you need to take down a tough enemy quickly with many power attacks.

Kaya is an assassin so stealth would seem appropriate but instead I used Become Ethereal to represent moving between the planes. When the shout is used it’s the equivalent of moving out of a plane and then back in to attack.

Pick female as the sex for your character as there are more male humanoids than females to fight in Skyrim so the 10% damage bonus against the opposite sex from Agent of Dibella gets more use. All Dwemer Automatons are considered male.
