"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 without the hours of involved preliminaries.

Simmer the Female Whirling Dervish,
or Dune the Male Whirling Dervish

The Whirling Dervish is a dual-scimitar swinging master of the mirage. Top tier Illusion magic keeps the dervish in full control of any encounter, although it can be hard to believe this dangerous flurry of edges and points is at all under control. Sneaky ambushes with devastating dual-weapons and plenty of Stamina for follow up power-attacks makes mincemeat out of all comers. Light Armor and Restoration magic keep the dervish spinning long into the desert nights.

Whenever a character earns a rank, r, in a skill they gain r experience. So 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 level 30 character should have about 15,865 total experience summed from their skills.

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!
