    This absolutely does deserve HoF status. Maybe you could increase the likelihood of that happening somehow? *cough*revamp*cough*

    Just wondering if the Atronach Stone would work good on this build since it's straight mage (the permanant buff with the flasks for unlimited magicka).

    Going to give this a try.  Struggling in the early going, frenzy and fear and out of magicka + no melee = run away (which goes against the Fearmonger part..lol).  Any tips in the early going to increase survival?

    Don't see anything specific about gear or Enchants.  I see you mention some basic gear but also note in the comments this gear comes along later.  Is it strictly on look or functionality when it comes to light, heavy or robes?  Also, are you just using enchanted gear that drops since we don't have Enchanting as a skill?

    BloodBane here to contribute a bit of craziness to your day!

    Necromage boosts Vampirism's Champion of the Night up to 31.25%, so your Fearmonger is very powerful already.

    When I played the build, I also did some massive tweaks to make it more BloodBane-friendly XD Here is what I did bellow. v

    Instead of investing in conjuration's Necromancer path, I took those out and used Ahzidal's Ring of Necromancy to give it a more offensive form of Conjuration. This made a perfect Conjuration offensive magic.

    My newest terror: "Illusions that Kill." With what I mentioned about Necromage and Champion of the Night, this, along with with Illusion Spell Courage and Ignite (Ahzidal's Ring of Arcana spell) is very funny to see. Once the 60 seconds ends and an enemies health gets bellow 32 health, they end up dying when it runs out. THE PERFECT WAY to create offensive Illusion, no? (This will be used in another build I am currently creating.)

    100% Spell Absorb was also a great addition after I got the shout Soul Tear.

    I'm a ways from necromage and haven't contracted vampirism yet so still have that to come.  Need to read up on the ring to see what that is/does.  Thanks for the input.  Just trying to gut through these lower levels to survive.  I'm more of a whimpermonger right now.  Cast frenzy and run away.

    I increased Restoration first thing and got Vampirism right off the bat (Level 3, Once I cleared Bleakfall's Barrrow). Maybe do that instead of working on Illusion right away.

    Any tips/suggestions for how to deal with magic/health regeneration in daylight as a vampire?  I've got a healthy pool, but in daylight I'm almost crippled.
