    If you're lost in the sauce, theres plenty of experienced character builders who will gladly take the time to help you with your build. If you want I can help you.

    Hi Taylor, CB Host Billy Mays here!  Here's the lowdown of everything you must have to put in a discussion to make a build:

    • Brief Introduction/Backstory
    • Race you played as and Stats (Health ?/Magicka ?/ Stamina?)
    • List of Skills (briefly described how you used them)
    • Equipment that your build uses
    • Game-play (highlight perks, walkthrough of approach to combat, why your whole set-up works, etc.)
    • Pictures (to break up the text; to add this, use the button to the right side of the LINK button)

    Here are things that are completely optional to include:

    • Special Moves (never add this in for the sake of adding it in; make sure the combo is special/unique)
    • Recommended Quests (helps the reader either role-play the build or know which quests to complete to obtain certain equipment)
    • Role-Play (things you can do that enhance the overall experience of the build)

    The last thing you should do before posting a build is check your spelling and grammar.  I hope this condensed version of the thread made it easier to understand.  Cheers!

    You should read this. It's a template for creating a character build. You don't have to use this exact layout but it's enough to make you understand what even to most pretentious members expect from a build.

    How do I save a build?

    You go to the main page, create a discussion, copy/paste it there, and save as draft, or save it on something like Google Drive or Word

    You actually can't save a discussion as a draft, Chris. Only blogs.
