Thanks so much!

I would love to put Character Background and Lore at the top. That would actually make more sense, but I figured people would be more interested in getting an initial understanding of the build mechanics first before delving deeper into her story. I'll see what I can do next time!

Fantastic build, man! This has to be the best build I've seen in a while! An easy +1 from me! 

Thank you so much. That is a major compliment!

Hope you enjoy experimenting and playing with the build. Feel free to make it your own! If Skyrim was a game of Chess, think of this build as the King piece. Your summons and followers, or other pieces if you will, are used to defend it since it neglects armor perks for the skills that are more functional.

For other members and readers: Take note that since the posting of this writeup a few days ago, there have been a number of cosmetic changes made to the presentation.

- Moved Character Introduction up to the top. (Thanks to Oneness's recommendation.)
- Minor tweak to the Level 25 Spread. Favored Illusion Dual Casting over Adept Illusion, since it's more handy at increasing the ability to influence enemies in the early stages.
- Slight additions to Archery and Apparel.
- Added Warnings for the usage of Spell Absorption and the Marked for Death Shout.
- Added Tip to visit the College of Winterhold ASAP to ease gameplay, if necessary.
- General grammar refinement.

A breakdown of the perk spread is not included into the writeup itself because the intention was for the Skyrim Perk Calculator to be cross-referenced with the skill explanations as well as to allow readers to play around with the perk placement. Do let me know if it is necessary to do so or if you have any further feedback and recommendations to improve the report.

Please enjoy the read and apologies for being rather longwinded.

Great first build! :D

This is a first build? Great job!

I like it but i usually play males so would that be alright.

Thanks, Ragnar!

Didn't realize you were asking a question!
Absolutely. You can play the build as a male and it won't affect the gameplay or role-play. I just gave my view in the writeup that female characters have their advantages.

Feel free to make your own variation of the build to suit your style of play. I'm just giving my recommended approach to get the most out of it.

This is really a genius build for a 1st timer. I only wonder why this build isn't Legendary, yet. +1

Question: Since you want a player to avoid the Main Questline until after all the guilds are completed (including Dark Brotherhood and the Civil War questline), does that mean you don't want a player to have Fus-Ro-Dah until then? Or is there a proper moment to halt your progress in the Main Questline for story's sake, and go for the guilds?

Personally, I think the proper moment to halt the MQ is after defeating a Dragon with Delphine for the first time, because she says she's going to do some planning and blah blah, which would allow you time to do other things, too.

What do you think?

Nice one!
