  Ah, no problem, just stating it if it hasn't already been mentioned. :)

  Well, actually, it was the first thing pointed out to me by Albino and Miraak

  I was trying to find something fun to play, and I am now making a character based on this idea. What a fun build!

  While it's a good build and gets a +1 from me too, as others have mentioned, I'm having a difficult time wrapping my head around the use of conjuration at all. The bound weapons are daedric in build, and therefore, IMO, they'd be off limits if you're playing as a true Vigilant. The familiar is odd as well. Why not just have a dog? But I saw the comment below on keeping some sort of irony, so I guess you've justified the choice well enough. Lol, it's your build and it's a good one at that! I am currently doing a similar build, but instead of conjuration and one-handed, I've opted for destruction at first with a switch to the dawnguard axe later in the game. Using the elements to destroy foes, especially fire for the undead, seems in league with what a Vigilant would do. Otherwise, I think I've done this build almost to the letter, except I don't have the mod you mentioned, so Dawnguard started earlier for me. I have an essential dog mod, so I use dogs. I grumble a bit that Dawnguard never bothered to include a mace, especially since it was restored by former Vigilants who predominantly use maces. So when I did my build, I used an axe instead. Great work.

  This is one of the coolest build ideas I've seen. I really like that it changes after level 30. It keeps it interesting and fun into the high level. Awesome job!
