Skill fix mod is for skills only, not stats. Are you sure you're not diseased? Visited a temple to see the gods yet? They'll cure diseases.
I don't have a little disease effect icon, I did go to the church to no avail, and my skills ARE affected. Athletics and acrobatics won't increase either 
If your stat is red, something is decreasing it. Check all the spell effects you have on you under the magic menu. The only things I can think of causing the problem are a disease, an item that decreases int, or stat drain (which should go away when the mob you were fighting dies). If you still can't find it, use the same thing as above with intelligence where the skill name would be. It'll still be red, but you can get your three points back that way.

Woo, made a full suit of ebony with 55% shield in total. Could've made one with 100% camo but didn't feel like being a munchkin.
You realize the 55% is kinda pointless right? Armor rating maxes out at 85. I don't remember how much armor ebony gives, but I'm pretty sure you're over 85 with that. Also fire shield is better than just shield, as it gives an armor bonus and a magic resist bonus. (Fire is the most common spell you'll get hit with, that's why I say get it over frost or shock.)

I kinda like my stat gear.
Speed boots, Agility Legs, Endurance Chest, Wisdom Helm, and Strength Gloves. Reflect 20% damage on my shield, and Absorb 15 health per hit on my longsword. It's powerful, though in some cases it pales compared to some of the shit I've found in the game naturally, so I don't feel very munchkin-y.

Yeah, the best enchants are the sigil stones from the Oblivion gates. While you can make a powerful character with these, they don't compare to some of the drops you can find. I guess this is both good and bad; you can't make uber items yourself, but enchanted items are nowhere near as good as some of the dropped/found items.
The only problem is keeping it charged up but that's relatively easy to do with captured souls.

No way. Overpowered is an Ebony Longsword with 15-point Absorb Life. 15point DD and Heal every hit. I completed the final Fighters Guild quest without my life dipping below 75% the entire run.

Aye, but I also have a high Athletics skill at this late stage in character development, so I can literally run rings around any creature and blast them twice for the win.
I used the staff for a while and thought, "Wow.. well.. ok, the game just got put on Easy mode."

One of the sigil stones you can get from an Oblivion gate gives a 25 point absorb life. Just quicksave before you complete the gate, grab the stock, check it before you load next level, and reload till you get it.
Morrowind was melee for the win, and spells were just for utility every so often. Seems Oblivion is the other way around.
I got my bow, I got 2 kinds of arrows
I draw my bow and look straight up, and I go into my inventory while my bow is drawn and I switch arrows, then I drop an item and... what? both the arrow and the item fly straight up, but nothing is duplicated.

You have to click the second set of arrows twice (Getting the error message saying you can't switch weapons) THEN drop your item to duplicate.
Also, you can't dupe certain items, like, say, nirnroot (Crai), weapons, shields, certain armors, filled soul gems, etc.

Go do the nocturnal shrine quest, newb.
Or, try the procedure with something you know you can dupe like simple ingredients (Frost salts come to mind).
Your arrow should be pulled back all the way (And in ready position) when you hit tab, if you equip something else (by holding the mouse button down when you open the menu) it fubar's it.

Alternatively, you could pick up a fork or something and make it rain forks, if you're looking for something sharp and pointy raining from the sky.

*notes that there are 5 different staffs depending on your level. If you get it later in the game it's more powerful.

Just get the skelton key and you'll only ever need one lockpick.

I thought that might be the case, but it's still silly that I can kill anything with relative ease now. I might dump the staff and go back to blades as the fun factor has significantly dipped.

There's one, I think it's in Chorrol, that's 25,000g.
P.S. If you don't mind doing a side quest, you can get a REALLY nice house in Anvil for only 5000g.
Sounds good. What's the sidequest, and to whom do I speak to activate it?

ACES! Another post by Karnaj:

Velwyn Benirus at The Count's Arms in Anvil gives the quest by selling you the house, cheap. It's haunted. Be ready to fight ghosts when you sleep there, which you have to do to proceed in the quest. The quest is to break the curse!
But I only see the fire effect when I hit something with it. Do they not stack or am I ok and does it just not show all the effects?
Plus the one in Skingrad, the cases up top in your room, are large enough even for the Wabbajack staff.
I am the Listener now, though. I pwned the Dark Brotherhood quests!

No, the missions you get before you start doing dead drops are probably the most fun.
