    Cool man, roleplay builds are my favourite way to play, and yours here is awesome with the story incorporated into it.

    It is now! I never figured this build would be so highly regarded, but I'm glad people seem to enjoy it!

    Has anyone else actually played the Prince of Ravens? How was the experience? Did any particular moments or aspects of the build stick out at you? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    Multi Pathed builds are always interesting to see. I really like this, Good Job. My to play list keeps getting longer :x.

    Thanks! I wanted to offer several ways to play the character, especially since the Wheel of TIme is very big on 'alternate histories', so to speak. It also gives the build some enhanced replayability, since the Paths are geared towards one or more Questlines.

    A great deal of experience with this build has brought two elements to mind that I'd like to share.

    First, the build levels quickly enough to 25, but slows down considerably by level 35. You're going to be struggling to get above level 40, so if you're looking for something that will have you fighting the end-game dragon types and the like, you're better off picking a different build. However, the tightly focused set of skills means you can reach very high ranks quite quickly, especially in One-Handed, so low-level adventuring is a breeze.

    Second, Moonstone is basically impossible to find. There's one cave with about six ore veins, but there's no mines whatsoever and it's incredibly rare. In fact, it's almost easier to just skip Elven and go straight to Glass equipment if you can level Smithing fast enough. That is, of course, if you're following the strict RP rules against selling equipment and looting gold.

    I really like this build especially all the details hehe. I recommend indenting your paragraphs, as some people may find them hard to read.

    I know this is an older build, but I just wanted to say that I love all the Wheel of Time references and tie-ins. That alone is worth a +1, but the presentation is fantastic on top of it. Definitely going to give this one a playthrough.

    Thank you! I wanted to stay as true to the source material as I could while fitting the gameplay style of Skyrim. I had an absolute blast playing this build, and I hope you do too.
