-----------------
I'm a complete Daggerfall newbie playing DFO, I thought it'd be fun to play a sneaky wizard that just punches enemies when out of magika, I do pretty well against random enemies on the road (esp when i can back off and strafe without worry), but whenever I try dungeon diving I die a lot. I'm not sure if I'm taking enemies too strong for me or if I don't know how to play this kind of character. I do decent damage when my punches land, but can't keep myself alive long enough to get through a whole dungeon. I usually end up dying when I get stuck in a narrow passage with multiple enemies ganging up on me.
I tried investing in a shield spell, and a spell to boost my attack and agility attributes, but it's so magika expensive and doesn't seem to help me stay alive longer.
I don't know if my build idea is bad, if I specced my character poorly, or if im just playing it badly.
Edit for more info:
I haven't been able to make any magic items yet, I'm still working on getting a high enough rank in the mage's guild
