I looked at this for advice on what not to do if I make a build, and well . . . thankfully, I wouldn't have done any of it anyway. The regular guide was more useful because I wouldn't have thought to add many things that are important (and I'm still not sure how I'll be able to add pictures . . .)
That said, I can see how it would be informative to others who are new, as well as being hilarious to those of us who already know better.
That said, I have two minor criticisms (yes, I'm serious, but I'm also an English teacher):
1. If you're going to critique grammar and spelling, make sure your own is spotless. Check and double check if necessary, ESPECIALLY in the sentence in which you are critiquing the grammar/spelling:
"1. Bad spelling and grammar. It's in instant turnoff for me and I'm sure many other people." It's AN instant turnoff . . .
2. Paladin. I'd originally thought paladin meant "warrior in service to a god/goddess," which could imply being in service to an evil god. But I wasn't sure, so I looked it up:
From Merriam-Webster:
1. a trusted military leader (as for a medieval prince)
2. a leading champion of a cause
Free dictionary added two other definitions:
"A paragon of chivalry; a heroic champion."
and
"Any of the 12 peers of Charlemagne's court."
Obviously, neither of those would apply to Molag Bol (he's not connected to Charlemagne, but then again, neither are any of the Skyrim Daedric Princes or Divines), but the Merriam-Webster ones fit extremely well: in the first definition, insert "Molag Bol" for "Medieval prince," and in the second, this character would be a "leading champion of [Molag Bol's] cause."
That said, the build is still absolutely hilarious and potentially helpful for those who really don't know any better.

I was more going off the Paladin from western fantasy literature (D&D Lawful Good paladin for example). Thanks for picking up on that spelling mistake though

I can see that. I was more responding to some of the other posters who said that it would be impossible to have a serious (and potentially *good*) "Paladin of Molag Bal" build. You could -- provided you used the right definition (and of course, you'd have to be clear on what definition you were using). To be honest, if I didn't 1) hate playing warriors, and 2) know that I'm nowhere near capable of doing it, I would probably try my hand at creating a serious "Paladin of Molag Bal" build myself, just to prove it was possible. Incidentally, I also want to write a novel someday in which the main character is the epitome of a Mary Sue -- at least on tests that ONLY measure character and don't include setting/plot into it. Come to think of it, my current novel probably does just that . . .
As for the spelling mistake -- no problems!
