    Yup, when the deadline is done and votes counted I will add the combat section...thanks for all the feedback, it's really nerve-wracking posting a build for the 1st time, all this advice makes me more prepared for next time!

    I cringed when I saw the title of your build, I thought for sure you'd done the same character and I almost had a panic attack. Was so relieved when I read yours, and very impressed.

    I know EXACTLY how you feel. This was my first build posted too (for the contest that is) and I was pretty nerve-wracked as well. Go us first-timers!

    Ahaha. Seriously though, my first concept was for, I shit you not, a Dunmer who grew up in Windhelm and was tired of the abuse allowed under Jarl Ulfric, so s/he would do anything and everything to depose him. That was the base story for my Avenger. SO glad I modified it since lol.

    This is a pretty good build. Definitely try to include a combat section to give people and idea of how this character approaches combat. Under your potions I'd list their effects to go with the name and ingredients. Other then that I like the role play and story elements if the build. This is quite nice for a first effort. You should be proud.

    Thank you so much....I will definitely improve it. I have been reading a ton of builds here to get an idea of the expectations, and boy it is tough. You guys have high standards (that's a good thing) so I'll be learning from the best.

    If you're reading/liking/commenting on the builds here you're definitely on the right path to making better and better builds. There's definitely a wealth of knowledge in the archives of the cb group that will inspire new ideas. Take a look at our rank discussions in the group. You can get to them by clicking the rank emblems in the front of the group page. They're all packed with great tips for aspiring character builders.

    I like this, an interesting concept and RP. +1

    I noticed you saying that you'll keep the advice in mind for the next build. I suggest using the advice for this build. Edit and improve it, make it better. It'll help you with your next build, since you'll be more experienced in building process and will make this build climb much higher through the ranks than it is capable of now.

    In response to the feedback I have finally got round to updating Sendrasa

    I've added a tactics section to explain how I've been playing her, I've also tweaked the potions section as suggested. I ended up retro calculating my health, it was fine in the early levels, but I found some opponents were just getting in too much damage before I had a chance to subdue them, so I needed to be tough enough to take a hit or two. I kept Jenassa as my bodyguard and found her tough fighting style complimented my spellcasting.

    Thanks to everyone who commented, your advice was invaluable.

    p.s. still not changing that skill spread lol!
