Okay, so, I’ve been playing Skyrim, right? And I mean, really playing. We’re talking over 800 hours, easy. I’ve tried a bunch of different characters, but lately, I’ve been obsessed with making the perfect Khajiit build. You know, the cat people? They’re awesome.
So I started thinking, what if I leaned into their whole stealthy, agile thing? Like a cat-burglar, but with serious claws! Then, I went down this rabbit hole of unarmed combat. You can totally suplex enemies from a sneak attack. And it is fun.
First, I had to create my character. I made her a female Khajiit, I made her look just like my cat from home. They look so cool in battle, all crouched down with their ears back. It just screams agility and cunning. Also, in my mind, I always think about the Pahmar-Raht. They are very strong and often employed as bodyguards. They are great for my build in Skyrim.
Then, I started experimenting. I tried being a mage at first, but it didn’t quite fit the Khajiit vibe I was going for. Too much standing around, not enough sneaking and pouncing.
Next, I tried a few different weapon types. Skyrim’s got ten playable races, but I was really focusing on what felt right for a Khajiit. One-handed weapons felt pretty good, especially since Khajiit get a little boost to that skill. I also messed around with bows and arrows, for a ranged option. Eventually, I settled on a mix of both. It just gives you more options, you know?
For armor, I went straight for light armor. It just made sense. You gotta be fast and agile to pull off all those cool Khajiit moves. I wanted to be able to strike a bunch of times, really quickly, and light armor lets you do that.
The best part, though, is the unarmed combat. Did you know Khajiit get a bonus to unarmed damage? It’s actually better than most one-handed weapons you find early in the game. I spent hours just punching things. It’s hilarious and surprisingly effective.
But, I will admit, the unarmed damage bonus kind of fades away as you level up. So I started looking into ways to keep it relevant. I found out about some unarmed damage bonuses you can get, which helps. I am going to try the bestial stew. I heard that it will work well for Khajiit’s unarmed damage bonus.
The build isn’t perfect, but it’s been a blast to play. I’m still tweaking things here and there. There’s something really satisfying about playing a character that feels so true to its race. Anyway, that’s my Khajiit build story. Hope you enjoyed it!
