Or wannabe-pseudo-Skyrim. Not neccessarily the same place, but a setting very much like it.
What classes and archetypes should be available and what feats and spells from other sources than the Core Rulebook should be definitly in?
- Humans as Imperials, Nord, Redguard, and maybe Bretons.
- Half-elves as Bretons?
- Elves as Altmer, Bosmer, and Dunmer.
- Half-Orcs as Orsimer.
- Catfolk as Kajiit.
With Argonians I have no clue. Lizardfolk or Serpentfolk could work, but they seem far too powerful.
- Barbarian
- Bard
- Fighter
- Inquisitor
- Ranger (Skirmisher and Trapper archetypes)
- Rogue
- Sorcerer
- Oracle
I think having only spontaneous spellcasters fits better, even though in Elder Scrolls games, you learn new spells from books.
The Thalmor Justiciars and the Vigilants of Stendarr would also make good Inquisitors, I think.
- Wight (template) for Draugr. The scandinavian draugr is actually the original wight.
- Morlock for Falmer, of course.
- Dragons only up to the Ancient or even Old age category, as Skyrim dragons don't seem to become super-huge and all powerful.
- Ankheg for Chaurus. Because that's exactly what a Chaurus is!
- Stone Giant for giants.
- Dire Rat for skeevers.
- Green Hag for hagravens.
- Troll should work just as it is.
Any ideas for archetypes and unusual feats and spells to look into?

Attempting to homebrew Spriggans, I noticed that Kodama have pretty much all the required traits and abilities, except being small size and possibly a bit too low level at CR 5. Advancing them to medium size, 8 HD, and CR 6, they should be a perfect match.
