My first character, provided a unique look, the water breathing really spoils you, but the resist disease isn't as useful as you think. Even if you manage to get it past 100%, you can still contract anything. |

Marksman +5
Mysticism +5 |
This is an okay race, but the ghost is a level one summon that will be completely worthless later in the game. This is okay if you want to attempt to build a battlemage character. |

Weakness to elements - 25%
Resist Disease - 75% |

The 100 magicka bonus isn't worth it for your elemental weakness you will suffer. |

I wouldn't take this race too serious. Maybe use for rollplaying. I guess a traveling merchant would be a good thing to do with this character. |

This would make a good stealthy hunter. Good roleplayer, could be enhanced with certain PC mods. |
