Any tips on party building? I’m planning to use Aloth for crowd control, Edér (unsurprisingly) as a tank, and Durance as a support priest, but I can’t quite decide on which other to bring... probably Pallegina?

Thanks for your patience and for the helpful comments! I think I’ll go for the weapon and shield. Is there anything else I should be mindful of when playing as a melee wizard?

Thanks @Mamoulian War for the understanding and @Boeroer for the complete posts! The fighter with high INT sounds interesting 🙂 So, if I have understood correctly, it would be better to create a two-handed melee wizard rather than using a sword and shield, especially as the summoned weapons are two-handed? 🧙

Firstly, please accept my apologies if this is the incorrect place to post; this is my first time using these forums. Up until now, I have been playing as a Priest and reached level 6. However, I have found myself restarting several times as I find the gameplay quite challenging☠️ and I think it is because of my build. I have decided that I want to fully commit to a Spellsword character, which is my preferred playstyle in other games, such as Morrowind. I enjoy playing as a fighter/mage hybrid (using medium armour, a sword, and a shield) who employs magic primarily to enhance their melee combat prowess. I have been browsing the Builds & Strategies forum for a suitable guide but haven't found exactly what I am looking for. The closest match was The Royal Court Battlemage, but I am struggling to modify it to suit my preferences. If that is indeed the best guide to follow, I would appreciate some help adapting it. Specifically, I am aiming for a Sword & Shield setup with Medium Armour. I am not interested in min/maxing and simply wish to enjoy the game on Normal difficulty.
