Taken Veterans - Balanced Character Builds

Pinch a Male Khajiit Necromancer
or Cinch a Female Khajiit Necromancer

Pinch is a level 30 rapscallion of a necromancer. Sneaking into every situation, he approaches combat with a plan, stalks his prey while waiting for their moment of weakness, then pounces. Ambushes take out weaker opponents before their companions ever know what's going on. Soon Pinch has a veritable army of zombies fighting for him, enabling him to find approaches to sneak attack distracted enemies.

One thing Pinch thinks you'll agree on, it is too darn hard to do the right thing anymore. This Neutral Good scoundrel sees obstacles blocking people's happines, and he simply clears them out of the way. In hindsight, he can always eagerly explain how his seemingly improper actions at the time were only for the greater good after all.

"Veterans" are pre-built characters, skilled and equipped in tune with the limitations of their experience. The entire game is unexplored, and adapted to your new level--allowing you to try out advanced play-styles and quest-lines avoiding hours of required preliminaries.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Whenever a character earns a rank, r, in a skill they gain r experience. When a character has 0 in all skills they have zero experience, and when they have 100 in all skills, at level 81.5, they have 90,900 experience. A character normally hits Level 30 at 15,865 Total Experience.

Taken Veterans should look good with any texture or mesh mods you may use, if any. The mods used in the screenshots include:
Face Textures (Female): Coverwomen
Face Textures (Male): Detailed Faces

Look in the discussions area for the batch commands allowing you to make a veteran out of a character you've created yourself!
