A lighty armored Dragonborn that also uses two handed weapons can survive effectively without becoming a target practice? yes, just don't stop in front of someone to attack, swoop in swing once, swoop out, swoop in swing once, etc.

Read Barbarian (Oblivion); it's outdated, but the fundamentals are the same. Thanks,but i guess there's really no way to evade those Ebony Bow wielding Draugr Deathlods,they often three-hit kill me with my heavy armored imperial,i tremble to think how i'm going to surpass them with light armor and a incredibly slow skull crushing tool.

Is it just me or archers tend to deal much more damage compared to melee fighters?Damn those deathlords... Trust me, you're gonna wanna buy all the health and fortify potions you can get your hands on. also, when you see an archer, jump all over the place and zig-zag.

if you hit them in melee range they usually switch to melee weapons. Yeah,i can to that with the one handed imperial,but not with the drunken two grip nord.There's usually two deathlords(or three or four for that purpose),one tanking me with melee and serving as a meat shield for the damnable archer further ahead,but,because of the slow swings,the archer get a very good window at the character,and when he does,he overkills me.I'm serious,deathlords with ebony bows are way too OP on my game.

Now a little off topic...did anyone ever made a ugly khajiit character?With the more cat-like design in Skyrim,it is quite a feat to see an ugly khajiit.Argonians,the other hand... what level are you that the deathlords already have ebony?

also, I actually bet a guy that he couldn't make an Ugly khajiit(maybe not pretty, but it wouldn't be ugly) so he tried to cheat by using an Oblivion character. For me they start appearing at level 40 ish,and there's also an abundance of deathlords at that time.Or perhaps an lack of scourges and wrights.Fifteen out of the twenty draugr i can meet in a tomb are deathlords.Six of them manage to one hit kill me with their ebony bows.This overpower on behalf of the draugr only stops for me at level 70 ish,probably because of the meat shields i have with me at that rate.I didn't find their with my nord yet,but i can expect i'll have quite a bit of trouble. are you already at level 40('s) with this character? if so I reccommend finding a wolf or skeever and leveling up your light armor
