    Mystic Knight

    Knights are noble warriors sworn into the service of their Liege, Deity or even  just to the highest bidder.  

    A mixture of scholar and knight and Mystic Knights are often found in service to Julianos and the Knights Mentor or serve as advisers on matters of the arcane within their chosen order.

    The Build

    Seeker and defender of  knowledge the Mystic Knight is a straight up tank that uses their magic and enchantments to support themselves with while sapping the strength from their foes.  The knight’s magical knowledge while diverse lacks any purely offensive spells with most damage dealt with their chosen weapon.

    Race:  Any, though Imperials and Bretons seem most inclined towards knighthood

    Birthsign: Warrior or Mage

    Focus: Combat

    Attributes: Strength, Willpower

     

    Combat: Combat for the Mystic Knight is all about defense cast a flesh spell, Shield up and hold your ground no matter what comes your way. For this I mostly used touch spells like drain health for offense and shield and flesh spells to boost my survivability. As you level up the reflect spell becomes useful against mages and watching them get killed by their own spells is always worth it.                                      

                                                                                  Skills

                                                                     

      Alteration: Protect yourself from attacks both mundane and magical and with the unlock spells no secret is safe from you.

    Armourer:  All Knights are expected to be able to maintain their weapons and armour. Treat your gear well if you want to stay alive.   

    Blade/ Blunt: You’re a warrior first  so your weapon is your main source of damage be it sword or mace

    Block:  Your main source of defense

    Heavy Armour: You’re Last line of defense. Any blow that gets past your shield will be stopped by armour

    Mysticism: Detect life, dispel and reflect the effects of harmful spells. Mysticism is an essential skill to the Mystic Knight

    Restoration:   Keeping yourself alive in the mist of battle as well the harming the enemy. The Mystic Knight knows that restoration can harm as much as heal          

                                                             

    Equipment    

    Cuirass, gauntlets, greaves, boots, and a shield of steel quality or greater, a hood also can be worn in place of a helmet. A silver longsword or mace or mace should be used until you unlock the arcane enchanter.

    Make sure to have noble a looking horse try to avoid  a paint horse

    Your Enchantments are pretty much up to personal taste so use what you want.

                               

                                                                 Recommended Quest  

    Main Quest:  A Daedric Invasion, what kind of knight could ignore that?

    Mages Guild:  Up until you gain entry to the university although some one RPing as a member of the Order of the Lamp may wish to complete it.

    Fighters Guild:  Good way to earn some coin especially for a knight in service to no one but themselves

    Shadow Over Hack Dirt: Rescue a filthy Lizard,  damsel in distress doesn’t get much more knightly than that.  A more religiously fanatical knight may decide a purge is needed, Purge them all…  

    Deadric Quest:  Always in pursuit of knowledge the Mystic Knight may be inclined to pursue these artifacts.  Careful though a hunger for knowledge and power has been the down fall of many a noble knight.

                                       

                     

                                                        Roleplay

    As a Mystic Knight your a Scholar as well as knight, help those in need do knightly things and search for knowledge and artifacts. Try to collect all the artifacts and skill books you to make you character seem more like a "Scholar"

     

    • You can be a member of an existing or order or faction within the game or create or own
    • Remember to act with honor and courage at all times
    • Make sure to enchant your arms and amour
    • Try to match your armour to your chosen race or order, a knight of the Blades isn’t going to walk around in a full set Deadric armour
    • Try to buy an manor such as the house in Skingrad or Chorral, knights are supposed to be nobility
    • not living in run down shacks by the water front

     

    Note: Still  needs some tidying up let us know if you spot anything wrong with it. Sorry about the late submission

    Simple and brilliant. I suggest you use ning's center paragraph option on the titles.
