    Excellent Presentation! beautifully decorated. I like it. The Lore and Story to this is legendary. You put good thought in that alone. Survivability? IMO can be improved abit more. This is like a Paladin like build. One of my favorite kind of build. You're as good at CBing as you are in posting discussions.

    Thanks Ry, I appreciate it! On all counts. I don't post often but I try to post well. Ya know, survivability is one thing I wavered on quite a bit. I ultimately decided to leave her pretty squishy to give the hit-and-run tactic more value so that I would have to keep moving. It also created this interesting risk/reward situation for tanking damage. Basically, I could only take one hard hit but if I was put into a situation where I was tanking, it was because I was staring the enemy right in the face, charging my own power attack which ended up being enough to kill that enemy. I found it exciting, personally! Surviving with just a sliver of health because my hammer was better. Ah well. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks again Ry.

    No prob! Each to their own. I guess, there is a thrill of being in those kind of situations. It gets your blood pumpin' and heart racin'. As many of times that this has happened to me at my line of work, back in the day, I don't welcome it as much a I used to. LOL!

    Treating alot of good builds I read on here as archetypes, I'll look forward to playing as this one and report back to you on how it all goes!

    Gadfrey... this build is amazing!

    An incredible read, fantastic presentation, and compelling gameplay. Arkay has always been a bit 'meh' for me (which makes absolutely NO sense seeing how undead hunting is my favorite Skyrim pastime), but no longer... I've seen the light ;D

    This one goes on my 'To Play' list... wish I'd read it sooner.

    Damn Shin, your words flatter me. I really appreciate it, thank you! I'm glad my exaltation of Arkay was convincing. He's a pretty swell god if I do say so myself. If you do get around to playing her though, I'd be quite interested to know how it goes.

    Hey Legion, you could also cleanse the Hall of the Dead in Markarth for a free Amulet of Arkay, and kill a Namirian cultist at the same time

    Really nice.  I personally like a build when it has quests laid out and the reasons why.  Nice job

    Ah, thanks for the tip Chris. I don't think Sib necessarily has a problem with cannibals though. Well, not to the extent she does with necromancers. It's a little...morally askew, but nothing like the abuse of black souls.
