The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
What if I've already started a character and don't want to restart?
1 of 4: You can skim through these hints and do everything they mention that you haven't done yet.
2 of 4: In particular, get Mehrunes Razor and make the Fortify Luck spell and armor. Also, always choose to increase Luck on future level-ups.
3 of 4: The armor and spell should mostly make up for not choosing the Thief as a birthsign and/or not choosing to increase Luck on past level-ups.
4 of 4: As for the razor, it'll have fewer uses if you're high-level when you get it, but that just means it'll need recharging more often. With the Umbra sword and Azura's Star (and the 8-second Summon Skeleton spell), that shouldn't be too much of a problem.
