    Great presentation. Just one Question: How do you heal yourself? Just feeding with the Ring of Namira?

    I found that not relying much on in-combat healing made fights more exciting. Sneak archery keeps her out of trouble, ring of namira keeps her health up, and her 65% magic resistance protects her from ranged spellcasters. Her real weakness is to physical attacks, especially arrows. If I was ever really in a bind, I always had some extra health potions or the ability to hop into werewolf form. I usually just reload a previous save though and come at the fight differently

    This build will be great for a cook, which can be seen as over powered. Beef Stew (Raw Beef, Carrot, Salt Pile, Garlic), Vegetable Soup (Cabbage, Potato, Leek, Tomato), Venison Stew (Venison, Salt Pile, Potato, Leek) are great for Stamina Regeneration which gives you 12 minutes of Regeneration. 2 Points per second which can seem trivial however you just need 1 point to perform a power attack.

    Definitely true! Personally I stay away from veggie soup... It was core to a master-mode character I had a while back and it just made things too easy. But to each their own!

    Since you do not mind using a mod if it helps out with the Roleplay experience I have a suggestion for you. Try and use Sneak Tools. You can disable some stuff but the main thing you will need is the Cowl that you can buy. This cowl hides your identity which is great for the "Civilian" Raven because Raven's bounty will not be associated with the Cowl.

    You can disenchant it (I know it's not something she would do but it's worth it in the long run). Then enchant a hat with it and when you go near to towns you can wear it and guards wont act as if you have a bounty. It's a nice covert way of going back into places you normally wouldn't ever go into such as Morthal. What I also like about Sneak Tools is the arrows, which you can only buy from the same vendor as the Cowl or make them yourself.

    I'll look into that, that sounds perfect, thanks!

    I'm generally ok with mods as long as I feel they're enriching the gameplay rather than dumbing it down or making it easier.  This is of course a blurry line for me but something like that would be really neat.

    Love this build!! Seriously, well done. I played as a male lord of the reach named Crow. I also love the armor that you picked, it looks really nice together, although i use a novice hood instead of the stormcloak officer's helmet. +1 from me.

    This is a fascinating build. Well presented. I'm literally going to get started on this exact build right now. Hope it's as fun as it sounds. Quick question, I checked UESP to see if Karthspire is safe for storage and they say that only the chest in front of the stone head is safe. Can you confirm that the whole cave is safe for storage and decoration?
