Yeah, I got out of the habit of posting before I have read through the comments a while ago for just this reason.

Just so you know, though, I didn't discover that it works, someone posted about it here like 857 pages back. 

I don't play on PC (I am on PS3), but I initially had a issue with one thing: patience.  When I activated the follower and hit the transform button at the same time, it didn't switch me right away so I would exit chat and immediately switch forms.  It was infuriating.  So, I began waiting a good 5 count once I had tried it just to make sure.  If it doesn't do anything by the end, you know you can cancel chat and try again.  Dunno if that helps any, but I hope it does.

Any idea if using Vampire Lord Form instead of Beast Form works for this method?

Great build btw! Having a lot of fun with the emphasis on shouts and, of course, pounding peoples faces in is always satisfying!

Yes, it does. Just read the previous page.

hmmm, i dont believe there is a way to stack 5 amulets of talos.....

correct me if im wrong, but amulets of talos stack in the inventory screen, and there is no way to rename or change them outside of console, so you are stuck with the basic amulet of talos, then the two quest item amulets of talos. Thats only 60 percent. Blessing and dragon aspect add another 40 i guess, but i dont believe you can simply stack 5 amulets

I've got to admit, I've never played an Unarmed build before, simply for the fact that it seemed just too difficult and I'd have no idea how to survive against a sabre cat never mind a dragon. However I'm bored of the spell spamming, sword swinging, sneaky stab characters that I've done and re-done countless times. So I'm going to give this one a try because It looks Awesome! 

Always wanted a build heavily related on shouts, and this is just immense. Just before I start though, could you explain that exploit again? I transform into a werewolf and then talk to a companion and equip armour? I'm a bit confused haha

No, it definitely works. Follow Snakes's instructions. Initiate the werewolf chat glitch as described, then give five amulets to a follower. Equip them and each one will grant its effects to the player.

You have to initiate the transformation at the same time that you activate chat with your follower. (For better instructions, scan back through the previous comment pages.)

Great work and a +1 from a newer member! :P I'm really digging the build, but I do have some questions:

- How much of an archer is this? That's basically the full suite of archery perks and alteration and looks very much like an "Arcane Archer" I made myself a long time ago. I really want to stay close-up as much as possible and enjoy the H2H. Do you only use Archery to initiate/snipe one enemy and then close with fists & shouts? I'm going to try to stick with this as long as possible

- How do you fight spellcasters in the early game? (I'm on Master difficulty and they melt without 40+ mr/absorp)

- What's your preferred method of healing? I was considering unperked, or 3-perk Restoration, which seems pretty Monk'ish, and with little Magicka investment shouldn't become too overpowered. Did you just rely on found/bought health potions?

Thanks for the build, lots of fun so far!

I believe most of  the Skyrim unarmed kill cams are based off of judo moves which fits for the martial artist theme. This is probably in my top five favorite builds of the blog! I am currently working on my version of the Monk, and I used your idea as a starting point. Extremely well done +1!
