Hey everyone this is my first Build on the Forge. This build is the first 'installment' of the Knights of the Nine Series (KotN). This time I decided to create a build is a hero as being a villain can be tiresome. After doing some research into the A

The Grandmaster of the North-Wind is a holy/divine crusader/paladin type build with a few important differences to the generic paladin/crusader. I came up with this build through role-playing, and I owe much of it to the fine heads of the I

Quick, think of the worst weapon in the game. Did you come up with the Rueful Axe? I certainly did. Seriously, let’s take a look at the pros and cons of this weapon. Pros: its base damage is good (same amount as the Glass Battleaxe), it’s
Read more…The Spellfork
There have been a few builds made for Skyrim that have utilized a set of self-enchanted weapons solely for their enchanting effects. This build is in the same vein as them, but notably differs in using what I believe to be the ultimate
Read more…The Selenu Vampire
The old “insert a TES vampire clan into Skyrim” is a concept that's been done in a variety of builds, and this build does the exact same thing with Selenu. So why didn't I go with a more original idea? It has to do with the signat

Read more…The Dagger Duelist
Plenty of builds utilize daggers, but almost all the ones that do either use them for sneak attacks with Assassin’s Blade or dual-wield them. The Dagger Duelist does neither, opting for skillful usage of a single dagger in melee c

The power of the Voice is capable of utilizing the effects of several different skills (Destruction’s fire damage, Illusion’s fear, etc) to the point where it could be relied upon as its own skillset if it weren’t for the limitations o

This build came from a couple of ideas. First, a lot of people really don't like sneak archery as its considered to be a rather one-dimensional and overpowered playstyle. I wanted to make a sneak archery build that avoids the

The idea for this build came about when I realized that I’ve never made a build that really explored the power of Destruction school. Previous builds of mine would rely on it for ranged offense and support, but never the primary form of
