WIP Character Build: The Geomancer (Vokrii)

[F.K]

The Geomancer

-Foreword

Created during TPF Release 3.4.3 and Adamant 4.0.1.

 

 

-Essential Mods:

This build was created with the mod list Elysium.

Elysium is NOT required for this build. This build is an Vokrii build at heart.

 

If you wish to use this build without the entirety of Elysium then the barebones essential mods are as follows:

• Vokrii - Minimalistic Perks of Skyrim: A lightweight perk overhaul that improves build diversity, but respects the vanilla vision and balance
• Evenstar - Minimalistic Standing Stones of Skyrim: A  standing stone overhaul, improving their effects to create a meaningful choice between different standing stones.

• Mysticism - A Magic Overhaul: Comprehensive magic overhaul that adds over 200 meticulously balanced spells to the game.
• Apocalypse - Magic of Skyrim: Adds 155 new spells that are unique, balanced, lore friendly.
• Thunderchild - Epic Shouts and Immersion: Adds 29 new shouts with multiple effects and an assortment of buffs and bugfixes for vanilla shouts. 
• Triumvirate - Mage Archetypes: Adds 75 balanced spells divided among 5 mage archetypes (druid, shadow mage, warlock, cleric, shaman).

• Morningstar - Minimalistic Races of Skyrim: Replaces the vanilla racial bonuses with two immersive passive bonuses per race.

• Wintersun - Faiths of Skyrim: Adds religion and worship as well as many other deities from Elder Scrolls lore, each with their own shrines in the world. 

• Reliquary of Myth - Artifact Overhaul
• Zim's Immersive Artifacts
• Unique Items Tweaks - Improved Miscellaneous Artifacts

        The last 3 mods serve as an overhaul of enchantments for nearly all of Skyrim's unique weapons and armor.

-Reccomended Mods:

• Alternate Start - Live Another Life: Provides an alternative means to start the game for those who do not wish to go through the lengthy intro sequence at Helgen.

The following mods serve as a combat overhaul to enhance combat and increase difficulty:

• Wildcat - Combat of Skyrim
• Encounter Zones Unlocked SE
• Arena - An Encounter Zone Overhaul
• Simply Stronger Dragons (SSD) SE

        Whilst these mods technically aren't needed for the build to function, they are highly recommended. Other mods which serve to increase difficulty are welcome.

 

 

 

-The Character:

 

Old scholar wise in the ways of geomancy (poison + ash magic from his time in Morrowind)

In his old days..... former Morag Tong, known for use of poisons in his assassination jobs. Where he picked up a taste for human flesh in the name of Namira.

Betrayed the Morag Tong for X reason, they've been after him ever since.

Hiding from the Morag Tong as a scholar, blending in by using alchemical knowledge and geomancy powers for good, acting as the towns 'old man kind healer' type.

--More on Elysium:--

Elysium is a fork of the Phoenix Flavour that expands this already excellent guide with over a hundred new additions and optional Creation Club support. Many new additions, such as Vokrii, Apocalypse, Nemesis, LotD, 3DNPC, and a wide variety of new content, were added. You should expect a more challenging game with this list.
