Frost Spellsword
Skyrim
Breton Vampire Spellsword
build
Published

This is my first time trying to do a some-what op build in the game Originally, this was going to be a Battlemage but during the mid-game I was getting tired of being destroyed. So, I change my plans and made the Frost Spellsword Two notes: this build was made in the special edition version and it didn't use any mods from the creation club (or any mods for that matter) and the whole playthrough was in Master difficulty
