Oblivion Character Build: The Brigand

In today’s trip back into the world of Oblivion, we’ll take a look at the Brigand..

THE BRIGAND

Background:  The Brigand is equal parts highwayman and thief.  He makes his living by robbing, stealing, or conning.  His lifestyle has forced him to live by the sword but he prefers to take any advantage possible.  He will utilize stealth, range, or poison if it gives him a higher chance of winning a battle.

Playstyle

The Brigand can quickly and easily switch combat stances from a poisoned dagger in stealth, to bow for range and sword and shield for fighting up close and personal.  He uses his high speed and mobility to hit and run.

Guilds

The Brigand can easily side with either the thieves guild or the fighters guild.  And brigands with lower than average morals can make a good living within the Dark Brotherhood as well.
