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.
High elf necromancer with destruction magic, heavy armor and a dark greatsword. Based on a fudgemuppet build
The Vigilant wields Stendarr's hammer, admittedly a difficult but powerful weapon to wield
The hammer will slow the user down, draining their stamina per swing as it has a carry weight of 100
The hammer should only really be used when enemies approach, not to chase down
Using a mixture of ranged Destruction Fire magic and Restoration, the Vigilant will use these spells to destroy any undead and daedrea princes and their worshippers
Inspired by BADCompanySarge, the Silver Slayer is a hunter of the undead, vampires, daedrea, and werewolves
This build focuses on everything silver from weapons, armor, and jewelry, fully enchanted to give an edge over the dead
This build does not use any magic and is susceptible to magic to give some healthy challenge against mages and vampires
This is not a stealth archer build as wielding heavy armor and a two-handed sword compliments the crossbow
Brutal and deadly but with a heart of gold she will tend to the needy and helpless. Since she was a kid she dreamed of traveling to skyrim someday, a provenance that she heard was blessed by Malacath himself. Her time with the legion forged her to become a great warrior and a talented blacksmith. Special attacks: Malacath's offering: berserker rage + soul tear + power attacks. Trembling hearts: disarming bash + dismay + veggie soup + sweep.
This is a min-maxing build. Every single perk, power and equipment is carefully chosen to create this build. Highest damage that a single hit can cause and highest defence and hp possible on the lowest level. It was built with USSEP patch active. No Creation Club content used, only free AE upgrades.
For anyone that wants to roleplay a Witcher. For the Signs I tried to stick to the effects first and look second which is why you see Frost Rune (only one that slows) for base Yrden instead of Lightning Rune since the later only deals dmg and acts more like the alternate mode for Yrden. The only sign for which I couldnt find an equivalent spell was for the alternate mode of Aard which is meant to be a 360° push effect. This is intended for Vanilla.
WORK IN PROGRESS
An assassin heavily inspired by Helgen Bear's Shock Shadowscale build. With some differences.

The Fishing Creation is required for this build, but substitutions can be made if you don't mind missing out of the roleplaying aspect.
The Champion is a Dunmer that is a unstoppable force that dominates from the shadows and on the battlefield

Wielding Goldbrand to finish the fight as a stealthy first strike or a flashy finisher when things go loud
Depending on your roleplay and origin of your Dunmer, they may join the Dark Brotherhood or destroy it
