>This is literally what Dunmer's niche is... it's just that in the lore they're ALSO really good at magic too.
Funny cope by the lore given, in practice, having huge magicka reserves is your real stumbling block. Which they have no better advantage in than anyone else. Altmer inbreeding massively undercuts their own advantage in that. They can horn about all they like, but putting it in practice tells a different story. Bretons really are the default choice for a warrior mage as such. Usable magic without needing to be born under a sign for it. If we go by the default everyman.

Are we sure it's not more like
> X fancies themselves powerful mages but only among themselves
instead? Particularly with how popular overhyping your own history and outright lying about it is. Example, how likely is it nord tongues could actually do half the things the books depict them doing.. from nord perspectives? And the stolen valor effect. Not every person is going to be, what, Shalidor himself? I bet even most Altmer and Dunmer are no better than dumb hedge wizards. But now with an ego.

Also something like a Nord makes a suspiciously great mage.. if they are born under the right sign. Being immune entirely to one element and half of another is a huge jump start, and your natural robustness fixes a lot of practical issues. INT is a fixable issue, and they have natural WIS. Ironically why orc shamans are kind of legit too. These are great starting positions, and it comes down to birthsign anyway. It's only upsides.

Has anybody here played a tabletop game in the Elder Scrolls setting? Are there any rules for this out there?
