Augury, Haruspicy, and Divination

So I'm working on a character in Skyrim that I intend to play a bit - a shaman type - and one of the quirks of the character is their reliance on divination to make decisions, a way to keep some of the personality in the typically mundane goings-on of gameplay.

I currently have two ideas. The simpler one is Blood Reading: in a moment of simple choice selection or snap decision making, such as deciding a direction to go or option to pick, the diviner will simply use the pattern of bloodspatter to decide. Typically, this will require creating a new spatter near the point of decision. Any source will do. Usually the corpse of an animal is ideal, but humanoid corpses work, or even one's own blood if the situation necessitates. Get it any way you can, most easily with a simple stab at the body, but auto-exsanguination may require external aid such as a trap. Of course, followers are also chock full of the stuff! Just be careful not to be too demanding, they may not be so compliant the third retry. If...    less

Vezrabuto said: Quick question what skills would you associate with Vaermina and Sanguine? What I mean is how you would associate Nocturnal with pickpocketing for example.
Conjuration and Alteration... for both, honestly... alchemy for Sanguine could als...

Well that's the thing, if I did have a preference, I would just do it, but I like them both equally so I'm not sure which, and thus I ask.

Got the rest set up, but I'm still not sure on the main image, if it should be the rune or the "item"

now then, do I use the Runes, or the Items.... The issue is that it's pretty evenly split between which factions are Covenants and actually have runes in Bloodborne and which ones are "lore factions" that only have a Badge... But most of the Covenants don...

What do we think of this:

Thank you! Yes, Bloodborne has soooo much stuff in it. The problem is that I'm recreating a slightly less open but still freeform RPG in Skyrim, it's like saying "Here's the Chosen Undead, who is literally your general open-ended freeform RPG character, a...

I... erm... hm... I prefer the staggered offset... but the main issue is the spacing netween the left text margin and the left-aligned image.

Absolutely! Thank you! I don't intend to keep both of the "Kin" second and third images, just one. Not sure which.

I do have a tendency to over-explain at times, a habit due to often not being fully understood because I have a weird thought process compared to other folks.


In terms of font size, I'm always a bit iffy on using 8 point for large amounts of importan...

(It's pronounced "Kree-shawl" so Kri would probably be the more natural choice...)

I'm looking for some proofreading and image critique on my build:
https://www.tamrielvault.com/groups/topic/view/group_id/12/topic_id/10242

Is it okay to link WiP builds here for feedback?

alright, I think I just need some input on image choice and a final proofread then it's done!

What tags would this have... I’m seeing Spellblade/Crusader, Barbarian, Lycanthrope, Dual-wield, Crafter...
