Make an illusory double to confuse them and then kill them with fire after they've wasted their power attacks on it.

Irony: Now that Lyndra's a Vampire (she became one to enter the soul cairn), she dresses in complete Dawnguard gear.


People in Skyrim are so nice.
I don't understand what it is with this character, but every follower out of the 3 has died. Faendal died when I was doing the Golden Claw quest (landed me a free house in Riverwood though =D), Lydia went hostile when I stole a horse so I had to kill her (I hated her anyway so she wadn't about to live too long anyway) and then that lady who was kicked out or rejected from the Companions and wastes away in the Bannered Mare died during the Orphan Rock quest (tbf it was probably a horrible idea to do it when I was like level 8). I had to hire a mercenary cuz I'm out of friends D:

That's not a vanilla spell, right? If not, would you mind sharing what mod this is? I'm not sure though, my illusion knowledge goes as far as muffle and invisibility.
You need to log in before commenting.
Seriously though, I think that destruction + restoration is a decent option for the sneaky hit-and-run mage. Conjuration is annoying because the follower system sucks, and spellblade dies on me all the time. Some alteration and illusion is nice too but not really necessary in my opinion.
I wanted to go for staff mage once, but then I realized how heavy those things are.
I dunno, I like (cross)bows and daggers but I'm not really into the sword and board style. Leaves little room for tricks when you're exploring things you shouldn't explore at a low level.
Well conjure weapons for yourself and fight with them :^)
seriously though, it's an option. Takes some time to get good at it tho
