Character Build: The Thrafey

I absolutely love the Elder Scrolls vampire bloodlines. Given that I definitely needed some boosting in the "Argonian build" department, I thought that the power of the Thrafey from the Iliac Bay would best be suited for a healing warrior. The Thrafe

This character build is an exploration into another vampire bloodline and a combination of skills and spells not yet explored by me: a battlemage vampire. The Khulari are Iliac Bay vampires who share the same powers as a normal vampire, but also poss

Character Build: The Ayleid

 

This character concept was a long term project for me as it was very lore intensive as well as perk/skill intensive. The Ayleids have a good amount of lore written about them (some good, some bad) and it took me a good while to read through it and

Character Build: The Arcane Bladesman

After realising that with my Paladin that much of my stamina was spent shield-bashing and left not much for power attacks I was wondering how I could still make a build able to defend itself but still deal more damage. This idea came to me after seei

Character Build: The Paladin

This sort of character is who I usually play first in TES games. A great well balanced fighter that I usually experience the main quest, most side quests and Fighters and Mages factions with. A very fun and fast paced playthrough with some frantic sw

Character Build: The Progenitor

The word progenitor refers to an ancient ancestor, an archetypal origin figure. It is roughly synonymous with forebear, a word with some notable ties to the Elder Scrolls world, the most relevant of which for this build's purposes is that it’s used b

The group of necromancers huddled around each other, shivering under their dark robes, as cold wind whipped around them. They were finally here; they had finally found the grave of the Kamal King. Buried in a tiny grave deep in the mountains

Character Build: The Pale Lady

Yo and greetings, people of Character Building! After taking a bit of a sabbatical, I have returned with a build over a year in the making. It's gone through many renditions, but I've always come back to the most undervalued weapon in Skyrim with pos

Character Build: The Montalion

Back when I first published this build, I called it "my most ambitious build to date, and the one of which I am the most proud". Even now, nearly two years later (wow!), this is still one of my favorite play styles of all time. Shamelessly powerful,

Character Build: The Hex Blade

Mods. I’ve been ranting for ages about the infinite possibilities that they offer to Skyrim character builders. What excites me most about modded builds is the chance to explore classes and archetypes that simply can’t be replicated with anything ava

Character Build: The Maormer Magician

One of the more known non-playable races of Tamriel are the Maormer, a race of elves adapted for life at the tropical seas and famous for their unique Snake Magic. I was very tempted to use alchemy to emulate Snake Magic, but instead, ended up with a

Controversial. Corrupt. Powerful. All these describe the mythical squad of elite battlemages known as the Shadow Legion. Balancing a dangerous edge of corruption, the few Imperial Battlemages who train and eventually ascend to the unit seem almo
