Conjurers balancing spellcasting with fighting
When playing this class is it important to focus on balancing out your superior spellcasting with fighting and weapons skills? It just seems that you have a real big advantage if you focus on spellcasting early thanks to your high INT.
I recently tried playing Tengu. It's interesting because they start with higher strength and dexterity at the cost of INT. They also get 3 free unarmed attacks. The ability to fly seems like a nice escape. However, I still run into the same problem that they're too fragile, just a bit later than when Deep Elves have that problem.
So, are my tactics for running away and avoiding fights sloppy, or am I building my characters wrong?
Also, for Sif Muna you gain piety by training specific spell schools. Is it worth holding out until you can find the Sif Muna altar before you start training spell schools? I could see how if I wanted to focus on fighting earlier that I could put off training conjurations, for example.
