The list I found for charactors has the Monk listed as shown below:
Monk
Specialization Stealth
Favorite Attribute Agility willpower
Major Skills Hand-to-hand unarmored athletics acrobatics sneak
Minor Skills Block marksman light armor restoration blunt weapon

Question is: Major skill is "hand to hand" yet the minor skill indicates "marksmon" which I believe is ARCHER!

Does anyone know if the Archer could become a Major Skill?

Nope, not without designing your own class, the way you want it and then calling it monk.

Drat!

Got e-mail from Amazon that said my Morrowind shipped yesterday.
Hot digitty dog!!

no, no, no!!

don't say "drat"!
designing your own class for something specific like that is SOOOO easy. it takes about 2 minutes. i just tried it. did a monk by the book, except swapped out marksman for a major, named it monk and there i was!

the char setup is so extensive and as nitpicky as you want. or as EZ as you want. they did a wonderful job with char creation.

V***V

:eek: :eek:

be happy to.
first off, char dev and assignment kinda happens within the same timeframe but on 3 occassions.

while on the boat, you are asked by another prisoner for your name.

then as you leave the boat, you are asked by a guard about where you come from. this involves your personal appearance and racial choices. your face, skin, hair, etc.

then when you enter the registry office, you are asked about who/what you are. here's where you are given what i call "the daggerfall choices"...
1)answer a ton of questions to choose who you are
2)pick a premade char from a list of 18 or so
3)design your char from scratch.

i choose number 3 to design the V***V Monkette.

(***NOTE***
wow! i just had my first CTD with MW. dang! doncha hate when that happens?)

okay... design a monk

....

choose my name: R'ranssa Parra
choose my background: Khajit Female with attendant bonuses
choose my skill:
...when asked i pick "design my own char"
...choices:
...Main: Stealth
...2 Favored: Agility Willpower (i debated on Endurance since i was going to be swapping out "sneak" for "marksman")
...Main Stats: Hand to hand, acrobatics, marksman, athletics, unarmored
...2nd Stats: sneak, light armor, restore, blunt weapon,security

notice i swapped out security for block in a reg monk..mostly because i felt i would be doing unarmored and hand to hand a LOT more. but it comes down to personal preference. if you want to work for the guys in power you may want to add sneak or security in as a Main rather than secondary stat.

to finish up:

... the very last thing to do is to name your class. i had trouble with it locking up on me when i foolishly named it "monk" LOL. so i had to redo it a second time, and named it Stealth Monk. that took fine and she's playing fun. There's only ONE major drawback. she doesnt swim well. LOL. and that's the easiest way to train up your athletics.. lots of underwater swimming. so methinks shes gonna lag on that. :D :D

have fun!!

V***V

:eek: :eek:

glad to help! :D

it's a lot like waiting for christmas when you were a "Young" Boy, eh?
the CE is pretty nice, too. that's what i got. [img]smile.gif[/img] i don't regret it a bit!

V***V

:eek: :eek:

They have done an excellent job. I tinkered with the assassin class, named my new class assassin, and bingo, a class catered right to me.

One thing I noticed while reading the CE package text blurbs is that the music CD is an "exclusive". I really like the title tune; it's sort of Celtic and that's my favorite folk music.

Of course, it's my understanding that there are utilities that will pluck music off the game CD, so I might do that. But the first day, only the regular edition was in the local CompUSA outlet, so that's what I had to accept or keep on waiting.
