Battlemage



"Able to resolve most conflicts with either spell or sword. They are a deadly mix of scholar ''and soldier."

- Oblivion in-game description

Battlemages focus on combat using both magic (spell), blunt and blade weapons. Thus, they are very similar to a spellsword. Battlemages are a deadly mix of scholar and soldier, and are trained to utilise offensive spells during combat. In such situations, battlemages have few equals. These adventurers prefer to be on the offense and dispatch a target quickly rather than waiting on their opponent to make a mistake. They are also capable alchemists that use potions and poisons to help give them that extra edge in battle.

The Battlemage is a premade class with the following stats:

Specialization

 * Magic

Favored Attributes

 * Strength
 * Intelligence

Major Skills

 * Destruction
 * Alteration
 * Blunt
 * Conjuration
 * Blade
 * Mysticism
 * Alchemy

Description and Use
Battlemages are highly useful for players who don't like long, drawn out fights. Using their skill in Blade, Blunt and Destruction magics they quickly dispatch any opposition, while alchemy helps to make strong potions to heal them or augment their abilities, or help with making powerful poisons to further shorten previously troublesome battles. Using magic rather than bows for ranged damage makes buying and carrying countless arrows unnecessary and frees more room for carrying other equipment like armor. One drawback is that having both blunt and blade skills for melee seems like overkill, making a similar class using one or the other allows you to tag a more useful skill like heavy or light armor rather than the extra melee skill.
