Maximizing Int and minimizing Str for a mage?

[IanTheWizard]

I created a character in multiplayer mode and want to make him a pure mage. So I maximized his Intelligence to 35 and minimized his Strength to 15 at character creation (BTW, the Dexterity is 25).

But because of low Strength, the first Available Ability he had to take is Encumbrance otherwise he would be unable to run due to being overload.

I just used him to play for about half an hour. So far, he has 29 Health and 49 Stamina. I'm aware that his Health is low and it's risky for him to deal with wolf or banshee at the moment.

If such a build will cause serious problems, please let me know. Thanks.

Actually, taking Encumbrance at the beginning is not necessary because you can buy tiger skin armors, which are lighter and stronger than the beginner light leather armors.

You mean on no mods?
For mage to run, you can buying a fur armor (gipath and ingos)
When you will get a wands with healing then many hp is not neccessary, only for blocking break off limbs (red, impossible to cure). Heavier armor can lower this limit, but then are no run. Before a cave mobs have hard to take off energy from several of wands (if there are from current island).

Thanks. Are you referring to single player mode? I'm talking about multiplayer mode. I already got leather armors when creating a character (in multiplayer mode).

Be alone in multiplayer no mod version is harder with each another island. In cave is impossible in fair game to play alone.
