    I am an avid Salvatore fan. My profile pic is even Drizzt, if you can see him through the flames. I've seen an Entreri build but no Drizzt. I don't know if Drizzt would make an entertaining Skyrim build though since he would probably come out as a standard ranger.

    how'd you come by a daedric sword? have to be 90 conjuration to get a sigil stone to make one and they don't start showing up till mid 40`s. I'm guessing you just waited?

    Waited and got lucky. I used blades sword, then ebony, and then finally found an unenchanted daedric around level 48/49 or so. I should've stated that in the build.

    Wow. I Didn't notice who the pic was of until tou mentioned it. Nice!

    Anyway, the *wink* part was to signify that actually I am doing a Drizzt build right now. I am deciding to playtest him fully this time, though.

    My pic would be Drizzt, to, if I could figure out how I could change my pic to what I want it to be...oh, well.

    I should have said original build not entertaining, since I played him as my first build. If you found a unique way to present the build then I can't wait to see it. The pic can be changed on your profile page. The right side under "settings".

    I skipped daggers for a few reasons. Assassins blade costs 2 perks since I never used bows. Swords are also better for open combat due to reach and damage. Although the Phoenixes were originally assassins they worked for the Tribunal. They are no more, and so the remaining Phoenixes are on their own. Motivations are up to the player. This build was left open, unlike most of my other builds.

    This is a great build and a good rp idea too bad they don't have anything to duplicate the beginning

    I've been eyeing this build for some time now and have decided to give it a go, but I have a question. I don't see a full perk tree so I was planning one out in advance and "filled in the blanks" so to speak. Like for example you have extra effect so obviously you took insightful enchanter to get to it even though you don't specifically mention that perk. So I was just wondering does the build stop at level 52 as it seems to or did you take anything else? I'd like to take this to 60 maybe but was wondering what perks you'd recommend to keep in character. Filling out the illusion and destruction trees I think might be good (dual casting for both, master of the mind, novice-expert illusion, etc) and/or maybe taking stability from alteration. Just wondering your opinion. Also, having never played a character that didn't perk an armor skill I was wondering do you use the flesh spells a lot with this build? Again just want to play the character as you envisioned it. I play on master and going to solstheim with no armor perks does sound difficult, but I am looking for a challenge. I've been playing a Mason sorcerer on master and at level 44 it's getting a bit too easy. Anyway, great concept and looks like it will be very fun to play.
