Skyrim Two-Handed Cleric build
Magic

Team Player
Published
by@LapaduGaming

The Vigilant wields Stendarr's hammer, admittedly a difficult but powerful weapon to wield

The hammer will slow the user down, draining their stamina per swing as it has a carry weight of 100

The hammer should only really be used when enemies approach, not to chase down

Using a mixture of ranged Destruction Fire magic and Restoration, the Vigilant will use these spells to destroy any undead and daedrea princes and their worshippers

by@LapaduGaming

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 Witcher
Skyrim Two-Handed, Battlemage build
Roleplay
Published / Updated
byShuls

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.

This Breton Light Paladin blends swift mobility with divine destruction. Outfitted in light Elven armor, you use Breton Magic Resistance to shrug off spells while weaving Restoration magic (healing, Sun Fire, and undead turning) into fast-paced combat. You snipe with Auriel's Bow, then rush in with Dawnbreaker and Auriel's Shield to blast foes back with holy shockwaves.

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.
