    Good point, I'll change it when I get home.

    Thank you! I had so much trouble determining how the game-gimmicks work and had to guess from what the spells say. I can't change anything right now, but I will update the entire build a bit once I get home.

    I have to say, I´m impressed. I was fiddling with thief using enchanting for some time but droped it in the end. And this is pretty much what I had in mind.

    As Curse suggested, daggers would be better option for their faster swing. Also, while the name implies thief it is more a adventurer and that´s what the DaD are, right? Combining Light Armor and Restoration also means you can actually shine pretty well in open combat. I really like the synergy here, man.

    Lastly, I am curious how did you roleplay this character? And what quests you did? It wouldn´t hurt this build if you added mention to these things.

    You´ve got my +1 :)

    I agree with what others have already said. This is a really cool take on the Spellthief--the presentation is wonderful, concise, and the concept and playstyle are really engaging. These are the types of characters I really enjoy playing: she's versatile and adapts easily to just about any situation (this also keeps the player from getting easily bored because they have the option to hammer on threats, magick them up, or just sneak past them altogether). Those Jack-of-all-trade builds can go on and on and on ;D

    Nicely done!

    Kind of reminds me of how my khajit bard-ish spellsword-ish sorta plays...ish, but with alchemy instead of restoration and only fire destruction magic, didn't put any points into one handed till like lvl 20 and instead relied on potions to grant me combat and magical prowess, and lots and lots of paralysis and weakness to magic poison.. And weakness to poison poison. Well you get a +1 from me :V
