    Hi everyone, i'm Nihil and i'm newcomer. This is the first build of a project i called "a Build for Every Alignment and Race", but you fellas can call it

    The B.E.A.R.'s aim, and mine, is to bring to you ten different builds that will cover all different alingnments

    1. Lawful good
    2. Neutral good
    3. Chaotic good
    4. Lawful neutral
    5. Pure neutral
    6. Chaotic neutral
    7. Lawful evil
    8. Neutral evil
    9. Chaotic evil
    10. No Alignment (all the 5E D&D player will know)

    and races.

    1. Aldmeri
    2. Argonian
    3. Bosmer
    4. Breton
    5. Dunmer
    6. Khajit
    7. Imperial
    8. Nord
    9. Orsimer
    10. Redguard

    Well, i think i wrote enough 'bout this, let's get into the first build.

    The Black Panther is a Khajit who was forced to leave Elsweyr because of his depraved and indecent behaviour, finding in Skyrim his new homeland and a place where to exercise its vileness and wickedness.
    He feels great satisfaction in snatching his prey from the shadows and watching his terrorized eyes while he rips his flesh with sharp claws and devours his innards using piercing fangs.

    He basically is a sneaky-unarmed-tank-badass-panther, using his powerful paws to do great damage to the inconcius enemies who dare defy a 2 metres tall black cat; heavy armor and his mighty body to tank all the incoming damage.

    The Black Panther finds in Boethiah's motto "as you will it, so it shall be", the perfect watchword to observe, so he will be a willing servant of the Daedra. He also is an inveterate cannibal and will find easy also to listen to Namira's teachings and sermons.

    I would think twice before challenging this fucker mighty warrior.

    Race: Khajit

    Alignment: Chaotic evil

    Major Skills: Heavy armor, Smithing, Enchanting     

    Minor Skils: Sneak, Alteration, Restoration

    Stone: The Lord

    Shouts: Unrelenting Force and Dismay. That will be like using hisr powerful roar to fling enemies in the sky or to make them shit in them pants. There are better shouts, i know, but roleplay always come first, dude.

    Stats: 1/5/4

    Gear: There are 3 must have items for this build:

    • Boethiah's "Ebony Mail" is really important to tighten your binding with the Daedra, for the poison damage that you will done tanking, for the muffle and because it makes you look a REALLY fuckin' black panther. 
    • The "Ring of the Beast" is another "must have item", since it gives you a massive boost in health and unarmed damage. And you really are a beast, don't forget that.
    • A "Fortify Unarmed" enchanted gloves.


    For level 30

    Heavy Armor: Juggernaut 5/5, Fists of Steel, Well Fitted

    The Black Panther will need a really strong armor to jump into the fray, since his fur will not protect him that much against battle-axes. An heavy armor will be your first ally while playing as a Black Panther: it boost your chance of survivability and gives you a lot of more damage. Infact, your unarmed damage will scale with your gauntlets armor rating. 

    Smithing: Steel Smithing, Dwarven Smithing, Arcane Smithing, Orcish Smithing, Ebony Smithing

    Smithing is really useful for this black guy. As wrote above, a better armor is, not only a better defense, but also a better offense. 

    Enchanting: Enchanter 5/5, Insightful Enchanter

    Enchanting your gloves at your maximum will grant all the damage you need. 

    Sneak: Stealth 2/5, Muffled movement

    Try to imagine an awful black humanoid-cat, with all the fangs and shit, pouncing on you from the shadows. Yeah, that terrified look is what the Black Panther likes. Give him a bit of sneak. Don't worry too much of the heavy armor, the Muffled Movement perk and the "Ebony Mail" will help you a lot with that. 

    Restoration: Novice Restoration, Restoration Dual Casting, Regeneration, Apprentice restoration

    Sometimes, praying Boethiah will be needed to help you fulfill your work of destruction and desecration. 

    Alteration: Novice Alteration, Apprentice Alteration, Magic Resistance.

    You find yourself surrounded? No problem! A bit of Alteration learned in the old Elseweyr can be useful. And what about the magic resistance? Pure gold.

    The Black Panther don't uses bows since he craves too much to watch the enemy's face while he understands that is going to die. An arrow will never be as satisfying as the feeling of your paws being warm and wet of the prey's blood. He do not even uses shields. Why he should defend himself? Attack is the best defence and he can't afford attacking with only one hand.

    Melee attackers: Dealing with melee attackers can be a little more difficult of what you think. In Fact, the Black Panther does not have any kind of block and his claw swings are kinda slow. A two handed warrior can be defeated with the right mix of dodging and power attacks, or by using your special moves (we will talk about it later). Shielded enemies must be punched no stop but in a clever way: stopping to punch them will give those cowards the chance of a fast swing; hit them without keeping an eye on the shield or their attack rhythm and they will shield-bash you.

    Mages: Run toward them and smash their skulls with fierce fury, easy.

    Archery: Well, that really is a joke. Dodging arrows is really easy and when you'll find face-to-face with them, you will destroy those fuckers. They won't even have the time to say "Son of a b...BOOM"

    Dragons: Those stupid giant-winged-Argonians will be a pain in the ass, if you do not have the "Dragonrend" shout, so better find a good spot to hide from their shouts and smash their scales when they'll dare to land.

    You really are a Bad Motherfucker, so act as one of them.                                                                     Somebody gives you a defiant look? Strangle him.
    Somebody insults Khajit carovans? Torture him.
    Somebody turns down a kindly skooma offer? Slaughter him.
    Somebody is singing "Ragnar The Red" and you're in skooma down? Devour him.
    Somebody tells you that you can't take stuff from his chest and pretend nothin' happened? Kill him.
    Somebody calls himself Gary? Behead him.
    Somebody is smiling and is Morndas morning? Mutilate him. 

    You're chaotic evil, remember it. Steal everything you can and if someone sees you...well, you've got the point. Drink all the skooma you can find and try to sell it to kids in Riften's alleys.

    SUGGESTED QUESTS:

    Civil war (imperials): The Black Panther's opportunism will push him to join the Empire. Being a Legate will give him the right power to erase all the high bounties he has collected. Besides, being a Legate it's the proper legitimation for his atrocity since the Empire and his title will estrange all the "unjust" accusations against him.

    Boethiah's calling: The Black Panther's link with the Daedric Prince Princess transgender goes well beyond the simple worship. Boethiah sees in the Khajit the right champion and nuncio. Regarding the Black Panther, he considers himself the reification of Daedra's motto and the approval for his crimes. Again, the key word is "legitimation".

    The taste of death: Did i mention the Black Panther is a cannibal?


    Majestic Roar:
     Dismay + any restoration heal.

    The Black Panther roar is so strong that can scare even the bravest of the fighters. The KHajit can use hisenemies cowardice to heal himself in bad situations.

    The Panther's Fury: Unrelenting Force + Power attack combo.

    The view of the prey arouses Black Panther's most primal instincts.
    The Panther's Adrenaline: Vegetable soup + potion of Regeneration + any Alteration "Mage Armor" spell.

    His bloodlust, will keep the Black Panther alive enough to let him placate his craving.

    Quick notes

    • Of course you should create a BLACK khajit, not any other fancy and colourful feline.
    • When you choose a name for your Black Panther, i suggest to use the Khajit prefix " Do' ":it means warrior.
    • To make the character more imponent, you can use the command: player.setscale 1.2. I use "1.2" because i think it's the most appropriate, but also 10 is acceptable.

    Thank you guys for the reading, and sorry if i did some mistake in the build (it's my first time in this blog) or in the grammar (i'm not a native english speaker).
    Stay tuned for the next build of the "B.E.A.R. Project".

    Beware the bushes, traveler.

    Great build, I've been looking out for unarmed Khajiit builds recently and this looks fantastic. Only criticism would be some lore nitpicking in how you refer to Boethiah. All of the Daedric lords use 'Prince' as a gender neutral title. Also they have no inherent gender, portraying themselves however they want, so transgender wouldn't be my choice of word when describing a Daedric Prince (And the phrase 'the Daedric Transgender' reads a bit funny too) Again, just nitpicking, its a great build and I look forward to the rest of the Bear Project.
