    Depends really. Orcs, Reachmen, Skaal and Bosmer all have Shamen.

    I agree with Orcs, Reachman, and Bosmer, but the Skaal are a group of Nords with their own culture. Also, I know some may didagree, but Reachman are considered their own race in the lore. They are Bretons, but they also have a ton of other blood, and a different appearance, than Bretons. Just wanted to clear that up before the discussion turns into a Reachman discussion.

    Dunmer Ashlanders could make an interesting choice.

    Yeah. Maybe a Dunmer with a Fire staff and Ash magic in Chitin armor?

    Nibinean might be interesting. Those Imperials are all bout ritual and stuff. Colovians are like Germans. All order and rigid. So imperial.

    Yeah. But there isn't much armor and weapon choices that, lore wise, fit an argonian.

    Best armor for Argonians is Forsworn armor IMO

    Hide, Leather, Scaled should work pretty well. Forsworn armor too, if you want.

    Dunmer - Ashlanders

    Bretons - Covens

    Redguards - Alik'r tribes

    Nord - Old religion types

    Orcs - Easy

    Bosmer - Easy

    Argonians - Easy

    Imperials - An individual, obviously, but culturally? Perhaps deep in what is left in the Nibenay forest as Colovians and Nibenese are largely 'civilised'.

    Khajiit - Yes

    Altmer - Individually? Yes. Culturally? Haha... no

    Any - If role-playing as a Reachmen because Reachmen are not a single race but that just may be too easy.

    In short, a member of any race can be just about anything depending on how you interpret portions of their lore.
