    You don't have to just look at his. a lot of people on this site have great builds! That's why I suggested looking at the Legenadary and Mythic builds since they are the Best of the Best on here.

    I like the direction this build is taking.  I'd like to see more detailed role-playing.  From what you've written, this guy doesn't seem like the type of person who would interact well with people, making small talk and saying hi to the citizens in towns.  Does he enter cities?  If he does, does he have extremely limited interaction or perhaps cover his face in some way so that no one knows who he is?  

    Another thing - "You are an evil character so doing and helping as many evil characters as possible is a good idea for this build"

    I get that the character is evil, but does that mean he has to assist in every evil deed?  Considering he seems pretty focused on getting the bones he requires, it would make more sense if he engaged in evil deeds that only act as means to his own ends.  Not many of the Daedric quests seem like they would be very beneficial to him.  So maybe think of some specific quests or specific evil deeds he could justifiably do, rather than having him unquestioningly carry out all evil deeds that are presented to him.  

    I do really like the picture selection.  MTG art can capture something like this so perfectly.  I'll keep watching this build, I want to give my +1 eventually, because it does have potential.

    You have Illusion listed as a major skill, but according to the perk calculator, it's completely unperked. You also listed a Forsworn Bow in the equipment section, but there's no mention of Archery.

    I feel this could go far. Very far. Just clean it up a bit

    Yeah, the perk spread and skills don't match up. You don't have any illusion perks, yet list it as a major skill. And do Ash Spawn get buffed by courage/rally/call to arms? I thought they aren't affected by any illusion spells?

    This build is a mess if you look at the perk calculator you provided. You state that conjuration (and illusion to a lesser extent) is the foundation of this build yet you perked it incorrectly according to the spread. The main two issues are as follows: 1.) You put perks into the atronach side of the conjuration tree but only use zombies and soulcairn summons (and ash spawns for some reason), none of which benefit from those perks. 2.) your build uses up to master level illusion spells and cites using perks yet your perk spread shows it as being completely unperked, basically none of your moves you list work according to your spread. There's nothing wrong with the theme and idea of this character, just put this character build together correctly and it will be fine.

    Soul cairn summons benefit from the zombie side of the tree. I know it's counter intuitive at first because they're summons but that's the way it goes. Ash spawns, i believe, don't benefit from any boosting perks. I've never used them so I may be completely wrong with that. The perk spread isn't changed as far as I can tell

    I'll second the 'please uncenter the text'. Really hard to read.
