Until I get really bored of it. Probably a while.

Could I swap out the broadsword and the Tower Sheild with a halberd and a bow with arrows?

I'm afraid not. Also, knights are now no longer tough nor strong. That seemed quite overpowered when combined with the sweet gear.

I created it before that edit, so that is why it was there.  Switched class though, so that doesn't matter as much.  Does the carpenter skill allow me to make more arrows?  And would sneak bonuses be from dexterity?

Probably not and yes.

Does the plate armor include a helmet?  How can I get more arrows besides killing another woodsman?

No, and there may be ways. You may want to conserve your arrows.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Does health regenerate?  Are headshots insta-kills or just high damage?  Does survival and carpentry allow me to create traps?

(My questions are probably revealing a lot about my strategy, but I have to know!)

Probably not, higher rolls mean more damage, and maybe.
