Choose Your Class
While your race decides your appearance and stat bonuses, your class decides your combat style. You can choose any class for any race, but it is best to coordinate the two so that you can fully take advantage of whatever bonuses you may have. For example, pictured above is a Khajiit for which the Nightblade class was chosen. Nightblades are similar to rogues in most RPGs in that they are fast and know how to enter and exit confrontations with ease while dealing serious damage. One of the primary components of this class is stealth, which happens to be one of the Khajiit races bonuses making the combination a natural fit.
The four classes you can choose from are:
Dragonknight – These skillful masters-at-arms use the ancient Akaviri martial arts tradition of battle-spirit, and wield fearsome magic that pounds, shatters, and physically alters the world around them.
Sorcerer – Sorcerers can use conjuration and destruction spells to hurl lightning bolts and create shock fields, wield dark magic to snare and stun, and summon Daedric combat followers from Oblivion to assist them.
Nightblade – Nightblades are adventurers and opportunists with a gift for getting in and out of trouble. Relying variously on stealth, blades, and speed, Nightblades thrive on conflict and misfortune, trusting to their luck and cunning to survive.
Templar – These traveling knights call upon the powers of light and the burning sun to deal massive damage to their enemies while restoring health, magicka, and stamina to their allies.
Each one presents its own benefits and they all revolve around specific combat styles, as well as weapon types. Coordinating your play style, race, and class is of the utmost importance if you’re looking to have a good time either solo or as part of a group.
