    The Night Hunter

    The night hunter is a very diverse build targeted on one shoting foes and going in and out on battles as stealthed as possible, althougth the dammage isn't blanced the types of armour is very weak and consists of light armour and no to little points in health. The very defintion of a glass cannon build. I recomend this build to people who want to assassinate anything in their path and get in and out. Although i do not recomend this build when getting apprehended by multiple people in groups in a formation. So if you want to feel like a legit beast this build is for you eleminating anyone who trys to go aginst your will will stand at you feet.

    Role Play

    Born and living in the jungle it's whole life the night hunter is the apex preadtor killing anything that distrubs its den. The night hunter with every blow killing all who he depises or dislikes and killing all he finds a challenge the night hunter fills his den with their heads as trophies. As his den becomes fuller and fuller this is only one spot left for a trophy and so he hunts for a beast that he deems worthy to his skill level. He hunts and hunts no one being a challenge he finds one beast large, wings, breaths fire it was a dragon. The dragon attacks and destroies his den and as the night hunter goes to defeate the dragon it takes his eye and burns his face so now he wears a helmet covering his face and seeks to kill the beast and make a new den with its head being the first trophy of many.

    Armour and Weapons

    Personaly i recomend Dragon Scale armour which is obtainable by smithing if you have the dragon born dlc add on and its truely amazing wearing the blood and bones of the foe that once balanced your skill. Other then that if you don't have the dlc glass is very viable or any light armour you can enchant. I recomend any dagger you can get your hands on but i personaly like arm blades which is a mod i will leave as a attachment if you also want to use it. I like the arm blades because it suits the night hunter and is also similar to the one use in preadtor the tv show and movies. I Also recomend dragon plate armour it so aesthetically good but sneak will be harder but your survivabilty increased.

    Skills and Magika/Health/Stamina Rationing

    I recomed a spread of 3/1/4 the 3 in magika can be a 2 and miss some health points for stamina because invisiabilty is a very viable spell and is high mana cost. health is so if you make a mistake or theirs a trap or anything along that lines you atleast have a chance of survival and stamina for sprinting and power attacks. One handed is for all the power attacks and dammage. Smithing to create armour needed. light armour can be heavy armour so you choose between them to due to the aesthetically of dragone scale armour fits it so nice. alchemy for the resotration glitch make it legendary once done if you want or pull of some posion or what ever you woulde like to do after all this is only insperation not forcing you to play it exactly like i wrote. Enchanting for all the enchantments this is one of the must have skills.

    Enchantments:

    I suggest using fortify restoration glitch then enchanting fortify one handed to the max or what you deem suitable, fortify sneak, stamina, magika and thats about it so you don't need to level up enchanting that much but anything you want or need the enchatments are always able to be enchanted.

    Character Creation

    Race: Khajit is always a good race just like in game as rengar and in preadtor  they have a heat sensor their is a preadtor mod but in vanila once a day a khajit can have enchanted sight and see in the night and find this just fine. And the sneak bonus at the start is great and seeing in the night is just living up to the name Night Hunter.

    Face: I recomend a war mark by puting a scar on the right eye.

    Hair: I suggest dread locks but anything works.

    Combos:

    The one shot: In Order: Aura Whisper then find your target, Invisabilty, whirl wind sprint and charge a charge attack mid movment so by the time you get you your target you should hit them with a power attack in the back meaning you get back stab bonus and their gone.

    Aoe Group attack: Every body can get caught out and being squishy glass cannon get a aoe shout or spell that can temp keep multiple groups of foes stoped quickly, Fus ro dah or whirl wind cloak can keep some foes down so use this then kill one whirl wind out then invis whirlwind shout kill one whirl wind shout out, rince and repeate.

    Stagger: If you ended up getting alchemy make a slow posion or get a bow and give it the slow enchantment use you bow and shoot somone and do the one shot combo without the invis or aura whisper and this should lead to them dieing and still in shock from the arrow in their knee.

    Well, I like your pictures and I like the idea of a crazy Khajiit that is seeking bigger and bigger prey to hunt (eventually going after dragons).  Shouldn't he be a follower or Hircine or something? In fact I assumed from the pictures that this was a werewolf build.

    As presented right now, the build has a couple of glaring issues.  First, there are many spelling and grammatical mistakes that are pretty obvious and frankly detract from the build.  Try running the text through a spell checker and fixing as many as you can.  

    Second, the build itself feels a little unfocused.  For example, you're using all three crafting skills, which is going to turn off a lot of people because most can barely stand having to level even one crafting skill.  Maybe stick to two maximum (and probably limiting it to one is even better).  

    Another example of the lack of focus is that you recommend Dragon Scale armor (light armor) as endgame gear in one sentence and then turn around and recommend Dragon Plate (heavy armor) in the next.  It's kind of hard to tell whether you want this character to be an in-your-face brawler (which either dragon armor is good for) or a sneaky one-hit kill wonder (for which other armors like the Nightengale armor or the Dark Brotherhood might be better choices).  

    I think the seeds are planted here for a really interesting roleplay character, but you're going to have to work at it a little bit more for it to emerge.

    i said dragon plate if you want aesthetics and more armour to survive longer and when you said i wasn't sure what i wanted is this build it's because even in the build i mentioned this is only inspiration for a new play-style/class and i only had 20 minutes which is the reason for grammar and spelling problems. But i do like your constructive criticism and i will use it to improve for future builds. @Jared B.

    So have you playtested this? "only inspiration for a new play-style/class" because this part gives off the impression that you haven't.

    "So have you playtested this? "only inspiration for a new play-style/class" because this part gives off the impression that you haven't." I have playtested it and found it worked pretty good but the build i gave uses aspects i used when making it and with those aspects makes a concept which i wrote as a build. I don't expect anyone to copy it word for word but i think this will be taken into consideration and they will branch of my idea and make their own with simler concepts.
