    Thanks, yeah I wanted the potions to be something that will being helpful you couldn't really abuse  and man were they a pain to design. From what I remember I wanted the Last Stand to have a slowing effect but there isn't a combination of ingredients that will have that effect so I had to find another way to replicate what I wanted.

    I like this build and something to be done with dawnbreaker is that u could use only souls of animals and then u could burn the body of the stolen animals soul as an extra roleplay type of thing

    I like this build's use of the stagger on Turn Undead spells. I've never really had the chance to use it, mostly because the character would have a shield or just a better spell to expend mana on.

    From the context of the Abhorsen trilogy, Dawnbreaker could be powered by lesser Free Magic creatures, which may be useful to you if you decide to base a build on Clariel. It does give the impression of a Charter-spelled blade more than Free Magic though. I think someone else did a build based on Sabriel too.

    I also enjoy the downsides to your four suggested potions. It creates a nice opportunity cost scenario to Alchemy, a skill which is mostly used to down about five or six elixirs instantly. 

    +1 from me

    Thank you.

    While this build may have been influence by the Abhorsen trilogy in the process of Skyrimizing the source free magic (in my mind) lines up with conjuration fairly well and so (again in my mind) by using a weapon that requires conjuration to power its effect it is unlike the charter-spelled blades that are used in the books; where as the silver sword (yet again in my mind) more closely resembles the charter-spelled blades with its innate effect that does not require a power source.

    I've always had a soft-spot for paladins and crusader types. Definitely got my vote on this one. Not too sure about the whole conjuration thing for a goody-two-shoes Crusader of Arkay. Perhaps an RP explanation for why it's acceptable for the Devout to consort with Daedra?

    That's something I'd overlooked thanks for pointing it out. And thanks for the like as well.

    It's strange how well that pic fits your name, I like it.

    Anytime, my friend.. anytime.

    Thanks! I took a couple images and mashed them together.

    What do you think? I've added in a paragraph in The Character section to explain her use of conjuration.

    My sister's telling me to go to sleep so I'll sleep on what you've said and see what I can come up with in the morning.

    Thanks for the feedback Ben, I think part of that wall of text was I didn't want to fall into the trap of overloading on pictures like some people do, but in the end I ended up doing the other extreme.
