The Witcher
Skyrim
Two-Handed, Battlemage
build
by Shuls
Published

For anyone that wants to roleplay a Witcher. For the Signs I tried to stick to the effects first and look second which is why you see Frost Rune (only one that slows) for base Yrden instead of Lightning Rune since the later only deals dmg and acts more like the alternate mode for Yrden. The only sign for which I couldnt find an equivalent spell was for the alternate mode of Aard which is meant to be a 360° push effect. This is intended for Vanilla.
