Thanks, Matt... can't say it enough, though: you guys in the lore group amaze me ;D

Awesome build Kaiser, Kael'than and ShinJin! I had actually kinda been thinking about playing a minion buffer archer guy recently. My only question is does Bardic Knowledge repeatedly cause the tentacle explosion or only when you activate it? I've never used Miraak's robes before.

Bardic knowledge activates the robes only when cast. However, since it is a lesser power it can be activated an infinite amount of times per day. So basically if you set bardic knowledge to your powers button it works as an AoE stagger anytime you press it (5 second cooldown). Enjoy the power!

The massive, bulging, juicy fruit of our labor has blossomed like the tentacle explosion from Miraak's robes.

i almost fell off my chair when i read that.

Excellent build, and the humor made it an easy read! Good work guys. Great mechanics and a nice roleplay. The only thing I question is that for a build centered on falkreath, you spend most of the game away from it... Its almost painful to imagine how long this guy waited to claim his peace :p

Thanks, Ylva!

Yeah, Falkreath ain't all that large, so you could easily run out of stuff to kill, but even more important to me was making sure that my character was strong enough to be successful in eradicating all life from Falkreath hold. He's waited through the ages... 25 or so levels isn't too much longer to wait (especially when you leave Helgen at around level 10 xD).

Builds like these are what make us love contests. I really like characters built around alchemy and archery, and when you add some nice and well thought roleplay/backstory like this then it's a huge yes for me. Congrats for this great build!

Wow! Thank you very much, Skyth :D

I agree, the builds that have come out of this contest have been really cool. We've seen some awesome stuff not just from the well-known builders, but from some of the site's new kids on the block too. This has been a great contest :D

Oh, lol! I was thinking Bardic Knowledge had a long cooldown. That's awesome!
