ABOUT Random Skyrim Character Challange

Come one, come all; for this is the Skyrim challange! Each member of the group will create a character with random rolls. The goal is to get a character to be master of a guild or as far as you would like while leveling and climbing the skill tree ONLY for the three skills you are given.

This means that if you do no get an armor or block skill, your character will not be able to equip or use shields, or that armor type. This also includes Speech. Since bartering with merchants levels your Speech skill, you may not buy or sell items with merchants if you do not roll speech. All of your items must be found, stolen, quested for, or otherwise obtained. Not as easy as you first thought, right? One exception is pickpocketing, which requires you to be sneaking, but, you cannot put perk points into sneak, and if you have sneak, you still may not pickpocket. You also may not sneak for any other purpose, including quests, if you do not have that skill.

The fun (if you can call it that) of this challange is the wacky and whimsical ways in which you get around tough enemies and complete quest objectives, all while developing a unique character. This is an alternative to Townsend's "power leveling blacksmithing and smashing everything to hell" thesis of the game. The more difficult/nonsensical your build, the better, in my opinion.

You randomly generate your race, sex, combat skill, passive skill, and craft. After this, pick a name (unnecessary titles/honors are encoraged) and get to it! You are free to do whatever you want in the game to develop your character, even if it has no effect on your skills/quests (ie: your flamboyant orc pickpocket collects shoes and stockpiles them in his home.) It is encouraged that you make some sort of story or purpose for your character, which will be entertaining to us, as well as help give your character some sort of direction and motivation. I also suggest taking screenshots of some of the funny and important moments in your character's journey, with a blurb about it.

Once again, the goal of this challange is not to kill everything easily, but to have fun and laugh at this ridiculous game. If you buy something, sneak, cast magic, or do something not within your character's design, it only waters down your character's story.

General question: Are non-enchanters allowed to use soul gems to recharge a weapon. I'm looking for opinions since I could see either side.

I'll enchant your mundane crap for you

Cleaning up the front discussion. Each person make their own discussion group with their character name and post your "journal" in there.

Also, Townsend was asking if he could use 'Bound Weapon' (since it levels weapon skills). I say yes, as it is in the spirit of the challange. He can't enchant, poison, improve or do anything else with them, it fits the flavor of his character, and does not really give him any significant bonus, since he is a Conjuration mage. Again, the whole idea is don't do things that cheapen your story, while still being difficult. Conversely, the point of things like disallowing merchant use without speech are because it forces the characters to get creative, to find gear. Instead, it puts a much stronger and necessary emphasis on creative workarounds like casting Bound Weapon, lockpicking every chests hoping for a magic item, encahanting otherwise mundane crap, or creating your own with blacksmithing.

Ok. (This is Tessa). So my basics are I'm a male Imperial, who is a one-handed speech master who enchants. I also plan on making him a vampire that is afraid of the dark. He must carry a torch at all time if he is traveling at night or in a dark cave.

Day One: Escaped from Helgan, tried to kill Hadever because he said we should go our seperate ways and I thought that meant he didnt want to be friends anymore. Found out he couldnt be killed. Escaped to Riverwood, only to find out Hadever went there too. The ensuing battle cost the lives of the blacksmith, his wife, and many chickens. I also killed a child's dog, but that wasnt an accident. Fled to Whiterun, killed an old lady and took her clothes on the way. Whiterun guards werent pleased with my actions in Riverwood, and arrested me. Spent my first night in jail. After I was released, I went in to Dragonsreach, and a crazy dunmer approached me with her sword, so I lit her on fire. Spent my second night in jail. Now I begin my quest to find a single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spell book because I cant buy anything. I am Magic Johnson, paranoid black man and accidental anarchist.
