Solid build I use on Legendary difficulty + Survival + Permadeath
Inspired by BADCompanySarge, the Silver Slayer is a hunter of the undead, vampires, daedrea, and werewolves
This build focuses on everything silver from weapons, armor, and jewelry, fully enchanted to give an edge over the dead
This build does not use any magic and is susceptible to magic to give some healthy challenge against mages and vampires
This is not a stealth archer build as wielding heavy armor and a two-handed sword compliments the crossbow
Brutal and deadly but with a heart of gold she will tend to the needy and helpless. 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.
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
A scarred female Imperial vampire who worships Clavicus Vile
She will collect Bittercup, Mask, and Umbra as her daedric artifacts

Focus on Bound Bow/Dagger for Stealth, One Handed/Drain Spell and Undead Conjuration for regular combat. Utilizes a range of potions and poisons to assist with combat and stealth. Capable of all forms of combat; Melee, Long Range, Stealth, Magic.
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. Daedric princes to spite: Namira, Vaermina, and Boethiah. Collect other daedric artifacts but choose dialogue that challenges them, not venerate (except Azura). Get Ebony Blade but dont charge it. Explore nordic and dwemer ruins for riches.
Based off of Ysgramor and old Nords who did not judge or shun magic. Frost destruction, restoration for hewling and alteration for added protection. Wears light armor and wields twohanded weapons like a traditional barbarian. Join and finish the Companions and Dawngaurd. Joins the college of winterhold for access to spells, but does not become archmage (roleplay).
The Harius is based on the ancient germanic night-hunters. He is a skilled forester and woodsman who can either dispatch enemies at a range or charge in with unrelenting brutality to massacre entire encampments before they even know what's happening.
The first build I ever published on The Skyforge. It's a bit rough, but a fun playthrough.
Requires Sacrosanct.

This build is heavily focused on mounted combat and all attempts should be made to be riding Arvak when out in the world.
