    Done. I've advised new builders in the Abilities descriptions to read examples provided at the end of the discussion.

    I've changed it to "Abilities". I disagree with "Battle Tactics". I think this term is best used to describe how the character normally approaches combat: what spells, weapons and strategies to use.

    Please, for the love of Akatosh, Mara, Dibella, Stendarr, Julianos, Arkay, Zenithar, Kynareth, and Talos, link this on the group's front page. It will solve SO MANY ISSUES.

    Like, if that happens, we may not even need to Feature anymore!!! (Deathmatches, sure, but, since filling out the template meets the absolute minimum criteria...)

    ...Hey, a man can dream.

    Wow this is turning out really great. Excellent work Noodle!

    Yeah, all thanks to everyone's feedback . I just hope there isn't much to add. The information here is slowly starting to get a bit overwhelming for someone new. Either this or we're a bunch of folks quite hard to please

    Sorry I'm a bit late to the party with this, but I'd like to say it's a very good contribution Noodles! My problem with any template though is that it will be written in a specific builder's style. Yours for example is very unique, as you're one of the few who put basic info near the bottom. I'm not trying to propose having multiple templates or anything, I just feel like there should be links to some other popular builds with different presentations, giving people a variety. Ponty's builds are very orderly, and follow a simple design that newer builds would find easy to follow too. If you have two or three different styles of builds to follow that could mean more variety in new builds, as potentially if everyone followed your template every new build would be in this format, which I'd imagine could get repetitive for all. Just an idea, I always like these kind of discussions.

    Well, I do say in the beginning that this template is not a standard and it should be used only if new builders have no idea how to present a character build. I get what you're saying and I'm going to think about it. The problem is that I provided those examples only in case people don't understand this template. Giving them other examples of builds that are not compatible with this template would just confuse people.

    I just find it so weird that you put the race, stone, equipment, and stats at the end of the build. That's like a glimpse of what the build is.

    I put my glimpses in the short character introduction right after the title.  Stone, Race, Equipment, Stats aren't that important to me. They can be guessed from what information I provide in the introduction.

    Looking back at this I think a few good examples of "special moves/tactics" taken from other builds would really help new builders understand the concept. A brief description of what makes these good examples would also help.
