Skyrim character builds

Skyrim character builds, made and shared by the community. Each build lays out standing stone, skills, perks and enchanted gear, with approximate character stats for the whole setup.

Whether you have a stealth archer, a spellsword, a pure mage, a two handed barbarian or an illusion assassin in mind, open a build to see every perk point, or copy one and shape it into your own character.

Or start from scratch in the Character Build Planner and share your build.

Rarely using a blade in hand always relying on their spells and keeping far away from combat. A decent amount of health to keep them alive along with light armor. Using ice to shatter their enemies then raising their broken bodies to fight for the rest of their foes.

The bard uses no armor and relies on spells to keep them safe, using conjuration, illusion and alteration as defensive; their only offense is a bound sword. Used correctly it will be used sparingly as your enemies will tear themselves apart from frenzy spells with the help of the undead you raise (or atronachs). Alteration is your main defense so always maintain your flesh spells, Restoration is your net, should you take damage.
