I was thinking along the lines of:

Magery 120
Eval. Intel. 120
Focus 100
Swordsmanship 120
Tactics 120
Parry120

With stats at:

STR 90
DEX 70
INT 90

Will no anatomy hurt my melee a lot? I have focus and not med because I wanted to use non-mage armor, and try to get as much +MR as I can.

Should points in DEX be shifted to STR or INT?

Playstyle: slightly more emphasis on spell slinging, melee maybe 1/4 of the time.

I've done something similar (Fencing instead of Swords, Med instead of Focus), and it's pretty fun to run with, and enough Chiv (60, Tactics and Eval only GM, rest made up with items) to get a Divine Fury off if/when needed (for stamina).

The best armor for +MR normally ends up being mage armor (or leather) any ways so Focus isn't entirely needed (if you go with Chiv). I kept my Dex at the right level I needed that when Blessed I was at 85+ (in case cursed).

Oooh, ok, I'll take out Focus and replace it with Med.

Why do one want 85 Dex?

DiP

Parry works with 80 Dex, I go a little higher in case I get cursed.

Yar, funky sentence syntax FTW!

Wow, I didn't one needed 80 dex to parry! I'll get DEX and STR to 80, and have INT @ 90.

Is there a limit of how many +stat effects one can have?

What do you guys think about this template
Evaluating Intelligence:100
Magery:100/110
Necromancy:80
Resisting Spells:110
Spirit Speak:110
Swordsmanship:120
Inscription:100/Meditation:100

DiP

No limit, but Maxes for STR/DEX/INT are 150.

If you're going to go that route (weaponskill with no secondaries) I'd say Archery instead of Swords (unless for specific purpose). That's a tough template, and I'd probably drop Magery and stick with Necromacy (or vice versa) and pick up Tactics to get a little more damage done.

Edit: wasn't thinking correctly before, but if I dropped Magery, I'd also drop Eval and pick up either Parry or Anatomy depending on other factors.

You dont need 80 dex to parry But you need 80 dex to maximize your chance to parry..

I use 75 dex, cant say I can tell the difference at 80 :p And if you got chivalry, getting Cursed is not much of a worry tbh.
