Skyrim Long Range builds

Builds for winning fights from a distance: archery, crossbows and long-range Destruction magic. End the fight before it gets close enough to be one.

Or start from scratch in the Character Build Planner and share your build.

Stealth
Published / Updated
byMisterFreakingSunshine

A stealthy vampire mage who toys with enemies using illusions, paralysis, and summoned minions before finishing them with a well-aimed life drain or fire spell.

I would join the College of Winterhold, the Thieves Guild, and the Dark Brotherhood early to help level your skills and acquire gear.

by@larcx13

Neutral hunter. Disinterested with dragon threat (don't got to Bleak Falls Barrow after warning Whiterun about Helgen). Travel to hunt and clear bandit camps. Join Companions and Dawngaurd. Respects Hircine and Kyne (do the exploit in Hircine's quest for both of his artifacts). Focus on building homestead (Lakeview Manor is best). Although a follower of the GreenPact in Valenwood, this does not apply to Skyrim.
