Skyrim Close Range builds

Holy Knight build that uses the Crusader's set from Skyrim Anniversary. Restoration, Heavy Armor, and Block are great for survival and crowd control. One-Handed is a solid and versatile melee skill. Undead especially fall to you hard thanks to Stendarr's Aura and other Sun spells.

Heavy 2-handed combat focus, with back-up via strong followers, i.e. Serena. Dabbles in restoration and enchanting to make better gear.

A two-handed warrior who uses Umbra and the Blackstar to fuel its crafting and collection of staves, making what is effectively a heavily armored battle-mage powered by souls.

A tanky, lawful good adventurer who makes use of Block, Restoration, One-Handed, Heavy Armor, Speech, and Smithing. Focuses on survival over raw offense, but hits plenty hard with sword and mace. Restoration spells keep the build alive and full of stamina for bashing and power attacking.

The Atronach Stone plus the Breton Dragonskin power make for excellent magic absorption in a pinch.

Push on! The mortal man I used to be has died... There's Gods inside my fist tonight! This build is a tribute to English Cover of One Punch Man here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMCYNH1EJTg

Since she was a kid she dreamed of traveling to skyrim someday, a provenance that she heard was blessed by Malacath himself. Her time with the legion forged her to become a great warrior and a talented blacksmith. Special attacks: Malacath's offering: berserker rage + soul tear + power attacks. Trembling hearts: disarming bash + dismay + veggie soup + sweep.

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

Do all thieves guild related quests. Join college of winterhold for access but dont become archmage. Avoid companions, and Dark Brotherhood questlines.
