Our thoughts: Dragonskin is a great power to have on hand, especially when you're fighting against enemies that primarily use spells. What it does: When you're hit with magic spells and Dragonskin is active, you'll absorb 50% of the damage, and regenerate your magicka in the process. As such, having 50% Disease Resistance isn't especially important. Our thoughts: Diseases can certainly be a bit annoying, but they're easily cured by either using a potion of cure disease, or activating a shrine. Having Disease Resistance makes it harder to contract diseases. Diseases generally damage your statistics, making your character weaker in one way or another. What it does: Various enemies in Skyrim can inflict diseases upon your character through normal attacks. Racial ability (2): 50% Disease Resistance Our thoughts: A very straightforward ability, Waterbreathing can come in handy when you're exploring dungeons that have submerged areas or you're diving into the depths of the ocean, but for the most part, it's not an overly useful ability purely because there's not much to find in Skyrim's waters. What it does: Allows you to breathe underwater, meaning that as an Argonian, you'll never drown. Regenerating health at ten times the speed can make you very hard to kill in a fight, and against strong enemies, it can potentially level the playing field, giving you that extra resilience that you may need to survive powerful attacks. Our thoughts: Histskin is a useful power when survival is your top priority. What it does: When activated, Histskin allows Argonians to regenerate their health ten times faster for 60 seconds. We'll also be including our own thoughts on how practical each power and ability is. With the basics out of the way, let's move on to a breakdown of each race.

Abilities, on the other hand, are bonuses that are always active.
