Good build for light-armored fighter/mage?

[Ronin_735]

Looking for a good race and some custom class stats for a light armor spellsword/arcane archer character. I already plan to use The Lord sign.

Arcane archer, at least in D&D terms, doesn't really exist in this game. As far as spellsword is concerned this is what I like to do:

stats
Strength
Intelligence

skills
blade (obviously)
light Armor
block
mysticism
Illusion
restoration

The seventh skill can be pretty much anything, but I prefer armorer just to get that up to at least journeyman as soon as I can. As far as race is concerned, male Breton seems like a good choice. Either that or the female Orc. They don't have many skill buffs to what you are using, but their starting stats are pretty decent

I was thinking arcane archer as in an archer who uses magic. and the spellsword/arcane archer meant a little bit of both, not one or the other.

Well in that case you're spreading youself a bit thin. That makes you have four important stats which is never that great. Best I can say is switch block for marksmanship and choose between intelligence or agility for your stat.
