    I would save before killing her and reload until I get a decapitation kill-cam. Sometimes takes forever(since some characters don't have the perk :P)

    very nice build you got here

    Very cool first build Samjt. Using alchemy to create blessings from the divines is something I never would have considered. I like how each one links to the divine it is linked to as well. +1

    Hella cool concept, and very well executed. This is an awesome first build, Samjt! I think my only small gripe - which is admittedly very much a matter of personal preference - is that there's so much badass Crusader artwork to be found out there on the interwebs, I think some intermingled with the kickass screenshots would go a long way. It's so hard to imagine a Crusader not using those awesome sun spells they gave us that it would take a really ingenious alternative to compensate, and that's exactly what you've accomplished with the blessings and curses, IMO. Good thinking. +1 for sure.

    There are bags of gold in Grelod's room. When I did myarchangel character, he was sent by Mara or Dibella, maybe Talos, to deal with Grelod's as they were I kneed by her treatment of children. Plus, I hate child abuser

    Thanks guys for all the nice comments and feedback. @ Vaz, I'll try working on those white backgrounds, I agree they are pretty annoying to look at. I also justified killing Grelod because though this build is holy and can't abide evil, he works for the greater good, and if killing Grelod gives the children a better life and home, so be it. @ Redblazed, I meant that he calls on the Divines to curse his arrows to harm his enemies more. The curses are poisons, so are used offensively, and I would "curse" my arrows before shooting them at my enemy. The blessings defensive, and I didn't want to get the two mixed up. @ snakes, I was going to use some artwork from the web but most of the awesome pictures are of the crusaders from history, which I feel have already been used in Henson's Zealot. I considered Restoration, but then Alchemy would become less useful, and I'd always use the heal spells more than potions, and the sun spells would lessen the usefulness of destruction spells. I left room for extra skills to be added on when the build is finished at level 45, so if people want to use it when they play the build they can.

    The first is simply badass,

    ^Those are pretty awesome. And Samjt, I was praising the build not knocking it when I said its hard to imagine a Crusader not using the Restoration spells they gave us in the game but that you did manage to find an awesome alternative. Not many would think to utilize Alchemy in the manner you did and it makes for a unique kind of Crusader who can stray from the beaten path. I would think Resto would be redundant now too for the same reasons you gave. So again, good job finding a cool way around typical conventions with this build.

    Thanks, thought you'd meant that I should've included it, my bad. And Lanius, those pictures are sick, I'm gonna have to include a couple.
