Nightblade (Oblivion)

Nightblade

Spell and shadow are their friends. By darkness they move with haste, casting magic to benefit their circumstances. (in-game description)

Nightblades make effective assassins and enforcers using their speed and skill to easily reach places most others could not. They deal with opponents with a quick blade and use of destruction magics. They protect themselves with light armor and skill in alteration magic and are capable of healing themselves easily.

The Nightblade is a premade class.

Description and Use

Nightblades tend to favor light over heavy armor. They are adept healers and good at using alteration magic, casting spells to protect them, and so on. They use melee based blades to further weaken their foes while they dispatch them with their powerful spells of destruction magic.

Blades

As the name references to, Nightblades use bladed weapons to further protect themselves. Daggers and shortswords are good to use because the Nightblade tends to be quick and agile, allowing for quick attacks while basting their foes with destruction magic. Longswords are slower and less quick, but can be deadly if it is used just the right way with a Nightblade.

Magic

Since they aren't skilled in intelligence, it is best to work on conjuration, mysticism, or alchemy to gain a boost in your magicka reserves to cast more spells. Their high willpower allows them to regenerate magic quickly, which can be used to let off more spells while fighting with your blade.
