What are the different characteristics of Skyrim races?

I'm sure it's easy to find on skyrim wiki but today skyrim wiki isn't showing anything because of the SOPA and PIPA thing, and I'm on a school network so official sites for skyrim are blocked. Could you either copy and paste characteristics from an official site or think of them off of the top of your head? It would be very helpful, thanks.What are the different characteristics of Skyrim races?

Altmers are good at magic,and have LOT of magicka even at the start.

Agronians are good at Regeneration power,but they are also goot at sneaking and pickpocketing.

Bosmers are good at archery and thieving.

Bretons are good at magic,but they are more of defensive guys.

Dunmers have least magicka,but they are good at offensive point. The have bonus for light armour too.

Imperials are blockers,and can almost block anything,and have bonus to one-handed weapons.

Khajiits are VERY good thieves and assassins. They have bonus on sneaking and pickpocketing.

Nords-Great skills, great resistance,if you're opting for a barbarian type,you can't go wrong with them.

Orcs are good at Heavy Armour,Smithing and both types of weapons.

Redguards are offensive characters. Bonus to one-handed,Destruction,Block and Archery.What are the different characteristics of Skyrim races?
I think Nord is good in the cold, and has potential as a warrior, Breton is naturally good at magic, High Elves are born with extra magica, Orcs are heavy dudes with a bonus to heavy armour obviosly, Redguards are the most naturally talented warriors, and argonians can breath under water and are lizzard people lol, also Khajjit is a cat and is very stealhfull

Stats Affected by Character SizeEdit

Your character's race will also have an impact on their jump height and run speed. Physically taller races can cover more ground while running and have a greater vertical jump height.

Melee DamageEdit



Getscale command on a Male Nord. Returns 1.00.

Added by PacifistFist

Using the console command player.setscale to change the height of the character will increase the size of your character in addition to increasing their movement speed, jump height, and damage output. Because changing the player scale in the console increases and decreases melee damage accordingly, there is a misconception that taller races do more base melee damage.[1] Without console modification, however, the default scale of all races in the console is 1.00, regardless of physical height.[2] Therefore, all races do the same melee damage at the time of character creation. For further explanation, see the screenshot displaying the actual player scale (1.00) used in calculations and the base scale, which is displayed parenthetically.

The getscale command shows that races all have their own unique base scale, which can be used to determine their height and related run speed and jump height. The base scale for all races are as follows:

Altmer Female: 1.08

Altmer Male: 1.08

Argonian Female: 1.00
