    This is great man! +1 I love the take on using robes not armour, but not being one of those Mages who uses alteration but doesn't actually get hit, rendering it useless.

    Hmm to be honest i was half expecting a wall of text and horrid mistakes but I am very surprised in a good way a definite 1+ from me good job.

    It's a lore thing. While you are absolutely correct, the Imperial Battlemage is different, it's a specific position in the Emporer's court. If you ever played Oblivion you might remember the character Ocato, it's basically like him, a robe wearing mage that has the title Imperial Battlemage.

    That's also why I didn't add the Character Build Battlemage tag to it. It technically doesn't conform to the definition in the archives.

    dragons are resistant to fire.

    so you might want to use shock magic.

    Only fire dragons resist fire. Frost dragons are weak to it, and actually are more common.

    Samjt has the right of it. Also my reason for not using shock are listed above. I found during testing that fire dragons required a destruction potion to help with the damage but it was never a big problem.

    What's with the slight obsession over Pelagius the Third??? Especially since he's been dead since 3E 153...
