    Since its a build with no smithing or enchanting then damage can sometimes get low. I selected a female to get the benefits from the 10% more damage against the other sex bonus, since most enemies in Skyrim are male. You don't have to be female, but it will help your damage.

    I interpreted the Stag Prince as some kind of bosmer cultural leader, like the Snow Prince was to the falmer. Are there any other theories as to what he might be or have been?

    Nice build, anyway, was i the only one to notice how the builds name is the stag PRINCE but he refers the character as a woman?

    Great build, I really like it. Though there is one remark to make: the name sucks, I highly recommend changing it into 'the Stag Princess', it is very weird to read prince and she in the same sentence.

    I was confused by this at first, but you are not actually playing the Stag Prince. You're playing one of his followers. A more appropriate name, I think, might be "The Stag Prince's Legacy".

    Either way, great build, +1!

    Precisely! I called the character was a female hunter in the stag prince's hunting party who then found his bow and started to succeed him. The grammar can get weird sometimes, but stag princess is in itself contradictory, as stag is a male-specific term. Just look at "Stag Prince" as a traditionally male title that a female hunter took up. I prefer "Stag Prince" because it's a clean, two-word title that directly references the game.

    Of course this is all extrapolating; the stag prince could've been an insane breton who consorted himself with deer for all I know. I think he is a bosmer leader, since they have a relation to the forest; where deer live. Furthermore it is similar to the falmer "Snow Prince"; this lead me to believe that the Stag Prince was a mer.

    Well that is a nice explanation, but i still think stag prince's legacy would be a better tittle, makes more sense than the contradictory gender. But again, nice work +1

    Alright, I caved and changed the phrasing, since all of the art was male anyway, that reminds me, I also added more beautiful art! Anyway, all of the she's and her's have been replaced with he's, him's, and his's; it cleans up the read a bit. Correspondingly I removed the agent of Dibella and Lover's Insight passives... I feel sexist after this change.

    Even though the wording is male please play a female stag prince if you want; just don't go around saying stag princess, because that just sounds like a girl that frequents stag parties... Furthermore "Stag Prince" is the only relatively cannon title, so use it!

    That picture while you're on a mammoth's trunk is pretty damn impressive.  How the heck did you pull this off?

    Put simply: I didn't. Someone else did that, took a picture, and put it up on the net, where I found it. BTW I love the spell you're named after.
