    Well, yeah he make use of sneaking and alchemy but he is mainly an agile warrior. So, we aren't forced to make a pure assassin/thief for the Thief's charges, a pure warrior for the Warrior's charges etc. right? As long as the guy is keeping the Stone's characteristics we're good, yes?

    Hi, Billy Mays here with an answer!  Yes, that's essentially what I meant in the original thread.  As long as there are obvious characteristics from the Stone being utilized for the build, it will be appropriate.  Just don't make it a polar opposite to the point that the Stone of choice makes no sense.

    A change of plan has been made and I would very much like to swap, from the Lord stone, to the Shadow stone if possible.

    Uhh, is there some kind of restriction about using the Guardian Stones or is it just that no one is doing them?

    Hi Terrence, CB Host Billy Mays here!  As long as there are obvious characteristics from the Stone you chose being utilized for the build, it will be appropriate.  Just don't make it a polar opposite to the point that the Stone of choice makes no sense.  For ideas on how you can go beyond a traditional archetype to fit the theme of one of the guardian stones, you can read this passage from one of the lore books in the game:

    The Warrior

    The Warrior is the first Guardian Constellation and he protects his charges during their Seasons. The Warrior's own season is Last Seed when his Strength is needed for the harvest. His Charges are the Lady, the Steed, and the Lord. Those born under the sign of the Warrior are skilled with weapons of all kinds, but prone to short tempers.

    The Mage is a Guardian Constellation whose Season is Rain's Hand when magicka was first used by men. His Charges are the Apprentice, the Golem, and the Ritual. Those born under the Mage have more magicka and talent for all kinds of spellcasting, but are often arrogant and absent-minded.

    The Thief is the last Guardian Constellation, and her Season is the darkest month of Evening Star. Her Charges are the Lover, the Shadow, and the Tower. Those born under the sign of the Thief are not typically thieves, though they take risks more often and only rarely come to harm. They will run out of luck eventually, however, and rarely live as long as those born under other signs.

    Right now, it seems like nobody is doing them since they only help you level faster.  Maybe if I have time, I will enter this event with one of the Guardian stones as my choice.

    Why isn't anyone using the leveling stones (Thief, Warrior, etc.)? I mean, it could possible to make a character that uses every skill under those signs, right?
