Well done, another Ponty masterpiece. The combos have wonderful synergy, seems like loads of fun, and allow new (to me) game-play. I think I may already have a character (c. lv. 25) that can adapt to this style, or I may just start from scratch (decisions, decisions).

I was thinking of doing something like this - altough with a Vampire, and add in some Destruction for ranged attacks.
Do you personally think that Vampirism will hurt or benefit this build?

Since you don't often do battle outdoors Vampirism is a big plus - gives you improved sneak, illusion, and a invisibility ability later on. I avoided it for roleplay reasons though.
I wouldn't recommend Destruction, it means you have to put more points into Magicka, and besides the whole point of the playstyle is that you get right up close before striking with a sneak attack, and then when fighting in melee you use nothing in your offhand so you can parry - not really much room for ranged magic in there.

Thanks for the input! I've been meaning to do a nightblade-esque character, but i recently played a dagger-user so this looks like a good build, and slightly different to boot!
I see your point, you're probably right. If i'm having too much trouble with Dragons i might just end up taking a bow, to take potshots while it's in the air.

It's not like you'll ever hit it Just use a summoning staff/follower/follower with summoning staff if you have issues, tell them to wait outside dungeons if they disrupt your sneakiness

Do you have any tips on what to do starting out with this character? What did you focus on first?
I like Illusion builds but I hate how most of the dungeons have undead which are not affected. What did you do to overcome this?
Gonna start this play through right now. Thanks!
