Skyrim character builds
Skyrim character builds, made and shared by the community. Each build lays out standing stone, skills, perks and enchanted gear, with approximate character stats for the whole setup.
Whether you have a stealth archer, a spellsword, a pure mage, a two handed barbarian or an illusion assassin in mind, open a build to see every perk point, or copy one and shape it into your own character.
Or start from scratch in the Character Build Planner and share your build.
Conjuration, One-handed, Block, Heavy Armor and Enchanting
This is a min-maxing build. Every single perk, power and equipment is carefully chosen to create this build. Highest damage that a single hit can cause and highest defence and hp possible on the lowest level. It was built with USSEP patch active. No Creation Club content used, only free AE upgrades.
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.
WORK IN PROGRESS
An assassin heavily inspired by Helgen Bear's Shock Shadowscale build. With some differences.

The Fishing Creation is required for this build, but substitutions can be made if you don't mind missing out of the roleplaying aspect.
The Champion is a Dunmer that is a unstoppable force that dominates from the shadows and on the battlefield
Using a blend of spells in Illusion to stay hidden, Destruction for ranged fire attacks, and Alteration to stay in the fight longer
Wielding Goldbrand to finish the fight as a stealthy first strike or a flashy finisher when things go loud
Depending on your roleplay and origin of your Dunmer, they may join the Dark Brotherhood or destroy it
The Hunter is a self-reliant woodsman who worships Hircine and Kyne
Using his bow afar with stealth and precision
When targeted, reposition or use woodcutting axe or dagger
If cornered, become a werewolf and consume to become stronger
Potions to heal and poison to deal extra damage if needed
Goal is to fully build Lakeview Manor
Marry Aela the Huntress
Faendal as a steward
Dog as a hunting companion
Use shouts to control animals or the weather
- Challenge build for a 100% run (more so just do all the major endgame bosses), with the idea of using a pickaxe as the main weapon.
- Classic alteration power levelling to get to level 80.
- For my own "enjoyment" but feel free to have a go as well or try and do a slightly different (probably better) build.
Vanilla Illusion Assassin with infinite Dual-Cast Calm/Pacify, max One-Handed & Magic Resistance. Daggers for stealth and Archery for Dragons, where stealth attacks are ineffective.
