    Sanctus is in for a nice surprise on his next visit.

    Yeah he was on the blog earlier this week but looks like he just missed the showcase! His build will possibly be legendary by the time he comes back, I'll wait before filing it!

    He's done another smart looking build here: The Lamp Knight

    Love this. I have been considering a no-magic playthrough, and this is the build I will try.

    Personally, I used an Imperial. Mostly that's because I loved Imperials. However, I recently fell in love with Redguards - easily my new favorite race. If you're going for RP, it doesn't matter at all. If you want to go with the character that is the most effective, go with Redguard. Adrenaline Rush is just too good a power to pass up!

    i just wanna say thanks to the Character Build Showcase for highlighting this build since some how i totally passed this one up! I love love love pirates and since i am on the PC i have access to all the mods and i already have a pirate armor mod http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20911 and then i was thinking about it and wouldn't a parrying dagger in the blocking hand and a rapier or scimitar in the other hand work perfectly? i found a mod that allows that so i am literally going full force into a swashbuckling pirate RP character!! thanks again! oh last thing is the live another life mod actually allows you to start off on a wrecked ship out by dawnstar i think so this perfectly ties in with the back story you provided!

    what kind of shouts would you primarily use? throw voice seems like a good one for a sneaky pirate, i imagine him using misdirection to pilfer a weapon before opening up the fight. sounds like what a pirate would do

    My Marauder wasn't a Dragonborn. The goal was to avoid magic and I included shouts as magic in my playthrough, so they were out of the question! If I were to use shouts though I'd probably go with Throw Voice, Marked for Death, and Elemental Fury. I'm sure there are more that would be good, but those come from the top of my head.
