17. I put my perks in Alchemy, Crafting, Enchanting, Two-handed, Heavy Armor, and Speech.

My Orc is level 49, and most enemies can only do a tiny bit of damage to him on Master difficulty due to an Armor Class of over 700. Wizards seem to be the biggest problem, so I think I will make a set of Dragon Plate with Resist Magic enchantments.

I use Alchemy to improve my Enchanting, and then Enchanting to improve my Crafting and Alchemy.

My first character was a High Elf Wizard who still only had 100 HP at level 42, and I never put armor on him. Basic traps in dungeons will instantly kill him. My wife, who loves Elder Scrolls, laughs and laughs at my poor wizard. I quit playing him because I made some poor choices when choosing perks. Destruction is fairly weak, except for the Rune spells, but Conjuration is really powerful.
