"Nightblades are spellcasters who use their magics to enhance mobility, concealment, and stealthy close combat. They have a sinister reputation, since many nightblades are thieves, enforcers, assassins, or covert agents." (Morrowind player's manual)
Just about the ultimate mage-thief combination. Decent combat, magic and thieving skills, though a little light on healing abilities. Nightblades travel light, so don't be expecting to beef up this character very easily (no skills in Strength and Endurance). But if your playing style runs to "hit-and-git," the Nightblade is for you.
