  Hey guys, time for our regular Sunday blog in the form of the Character Build Showcase. This week Ponty has nominated The Toxicologist by Skalvar. Here's Ponty's introduction

  The Toxicologist by Skalvar is a great build based around Alchemy, as well as a variety of content from the new(ish) Dragonborn DLC. As a former Morag Tong agent out for revenge, the Toxicologist plays as an assassin who prefers to paralyze and poison targets that he can't kill outright, ensuring a slow but certain death. If you haven't played a poison-obsessed alchemist recently the Toxicologist is the build for you - integrating new ingredients, spells and equipment from Dragonborn is sure to keep the experience fresh!

  
  So, here we have an interesting and fresh take on alchemy and poisons, leaning heavily on items from the Dragonborn DLC. You might want to steer clear if you're looking to avoid Dragonborn spoilers! Let's hear from Skalvar as he introduces his creation:

   The Toxicologist is a former Morag Tong Agent who built quite a reputation for his mastery of the alchemical arts.  Besides accepting writs and gaining approval to carry out the assigned mission, he was tasked with creating recipes for deadly poisons to be used by other members.  When the Grandmaster decided to take credit for everything he accomplished, he no longer associated himself with the Morag Tong and decided to take his talents to Skyrim where he would probably join the Dark Brotherhood.  A few strings were pulled to imprison the lad and have him executed at Helgen.  Though the Tribunal blessed him to live another day, he knew that he had to enact his revenge on those that betrayed him.

  Obviously this is for someone looking for a build for a Dark Elf. So if thats you - then take a fresh look at The Toxicologist, I think its got plenty of roleplay potential.
