    Cool gear choices and presentation. I like the idea of using Attribute Regen effects to compensate for the stunted regen vampires suffer during the day.

    Reminds me very much of the Regulator, but I guess that's to be expected given that you took influence from the same source material. I can personally attest to the badassery that comes from this play style.

    For a build that uses several pretty significant exploits, I feel like you really don't need both Alchemy and Enchanting here. You're only getting about 10 extra Unarmed damage from those gauntlets than you'd be getting with the base value, and you could make up for that by perking Alchemy a bit more. You've also got a ton of utility from Block, Alteration, and Restoration ... Two crafting skills just seems like overkill; this guy would be overpowered even without Enchanting.

    I've seen a couple other builds use that same elemental resist potion lately, and I have to ask ... where are you guys getting your Hawk Beaks? I usually just go with Snowberries + Fly Amanita + Thistle Branch for Fire and Frost resistance. You don't see too many Shock Damage spell effects aimed at your character in Skyrim, whereas Fire and Frost are quite common. And you can be justified in burning through these potions, because the ingredients are all super common, and can even be grown in Hearthfire.

    Shout Animal Allegiance at Solitude docks. You will be set with Hawk Beaks for life

    I thought hawks can only be killed once? There are, what, ten hawks at Solitude Docks? So basically, ten Hawk Beaks. That's all it'll ever be.

    You use the unofficial patches, right? They may have fixed that. UESP says the hawks become invincible when they respawn after being killed once.

    It may be the case, still there are a lot of hawks in the game and not every encounter calls for a potion :P

    All good points and it is similar to your Regulator! But like you said, we drew from the same source. Although I think you missed the biggest point in his Unarmed Argument which was the Vampire/Necromage boosts. They work perfectly with every technique used to boost unarmed damage. Tis a great build nonetheless.

    As for Enchanting, it wasn't solely for Unarmed Damage but rather one of the many effects I wanted. And honestly, I was going for that overkill kind of strength with this one. The crafting didn't seem like that much in the playthrough so I figured two crafting skills wouldn't be a big deal. Although, I'm sure the build would be completely viable with just Alchemy.

    Hawk Beaks! Damn they are hard to come by. You're totally right about that one and with all the Magic Resist I've got going on, Shock spells wouldn't do that much more with or without the potion. I guess I just wanted that coverall because it was an "Aundae Blood Potion". Roleplay over practicality I suppose. Btw, I still haven't dished out the 5 bucks for Hearthfire lol! Some Alchemist I am :p
