                     The Redguard Merchant

                                 *Uses Console Commands*

     

    The Redguard Merchant is a fast, agile one-handed fighter. Using speed to his advantage, small rooms are his nemisesHe mostly dodges enemy attacks, running and jumping around, waiting for a good moment to strike.   While  enemy's that can match your speed can be quite a challenge, bandits and such are easily dealt with. The Redguard Merchant switches out any  headwear for a Redguard or Alik'r hood, whichever you find first. Therefore, a shield is handy, although you will not be using it to block attacks. You could also go for dual-wielding, but then fast enemy's will be even more of a challenge.

     

     

    Stats

    RACE: Redguard

    SKILLS: One-Handed, Light Armor, Speech

    LEVELING:  0 Magicka / 2 Heath / 2 Stamina

     

    Equipment

    Firstly just some regular fur armor, then do DB quests and get the scaled armor from one of the captives.

    Get a Light Imperial Shield from any Penitus Oculatus or Imperial you kill. Get a redguard hood from the

    clothing shop in Solitude. Then get the bonus reward from Gabriella, from one of the DB quests. Get the

    Ancient Shrouded Armor and your all set!

     

    Gameplay

    To sucessfully play this build, you can't just stand still and hits things until they die, or

    until you die. With this build, you have to keep moving, and jumping around. To make this build you

    will also need console command, which I mentioned earlier. Here is what you'll need to do:

     

    Press ~

    Enter: player.setav speedmult 210

    Enter: player.forceav weaponspeedmult 2.3

    Enter: setav.health 60

     

    The last command will set your character's health to 60, which is the price you have to pay

    for the other ones, which improve your speed, and the speed at which you swing your weapon.

    Small rooms, as I also mentioned, are your worst enemy. In small rooms, you can either try to kill to enemy

    as fast as you can, try to sneak up to the enemy, or use your shield. I recommend the first for Dual-Wielders, and

    the last for players using shields. You could try sneaking, but since you will not be investing in the sneak skill tree,

    it's likely you'll just get detected anyway.

     

    Backstory

    You were once a merchant, travelling all around Hammerfell, selling your wares and weapons. Everything was going pretty well,

    but you and your wife/husband were running low on gold. You hear of a bloody civil war going on in the North-East province of Skyrim. You decided to take advantage of this, knowing that selling weapons and armor would make you a huge profit. You said goodbye to your wife/husband, and got on your carriage. When reaching the border between Skyrim and Hammerfell, a group of bandits attacked the carriage. You dealt with them, but one of your carriage's wheels was broken. You didn't bring anything other then weapons, armor, food and water... so no way to fix the wheel. You waited a few hours, trying to think of what to do. Then suddenly, a carriage stopped beside yours. Some Nords came out of the carriage, and said they would take you to Windhelm, if yo gave them a few of your supplies. You accepted, and let them load all your supplies on the carriage, of which they could keep 10%.

    You were nearing a small mining village, when suddenly some Imperial soldiers appeared, and killed most of the nords. One of them got in the carriage, and knocked you and a few others out. You woke up on another carraige, with a few other people you had already met on the previous carriage. One of them began to explain they were Stormcloaks, one of the two groups fighting in the Civil War. And who sat next to you on the previous carriage was no less then their leader. You think to yourself: " This isn't that bad. I'll just say the truth, get some money together to travel back to Hammerfell, and everything will be fine... Right?"
