*This Build takes Place Between Chapter 17 and Chapter 70 of the Jaeger Saga*
My original plan was to make a Hold Guard build, but I wasn't up for it yet, so after a desperate attempt that I almost immediately removed, I came up with this idea, which focuses on a single perk - Poisoned. Oh my god, I can't get over how amazed I was when I first saw this perk, six years ago. To be able to slip a poison into someone's pocket through stealth, and then watch as said poison affects the person slowly? Oh, it's satisfying in a twisted, sick way. This build is also partially based upon an upcoming character in my Jaeger Saga, which you can read about more on by clicking on that link, or checking out the build. Either way, unlike my other build, this one isn't focused primarily on the Jaegers, but loosely based on Wih-Ju, a crazy Argonian with an expertise for mixing and matching poisons and potions. However, it's based so loosely you won't even need to roleplay as Wih-Ju, so any roleplay haters out there, don't worry - but there will be subtle RP-centric things that the build uses, but you could work around them if you wanted. The whole layout for this build is a passive-ish build that mainly uses poison to get his stuff done - when I said passive, I didn't mean actually being a pacifist, I just meant that you won't usually actively agroing on your enemies - I.E No two-handed battleaxing some bandit to a bloody pulp on the ground. However, you may use a dagger if it will assist your poisonings. I hope you enjoy what I've got so far, and in the comments if you want that Hold Guard build, feel free to suggest the Hold - I'm leaning on the Reach at the moment. Ideas, appreciation, and criticism are always welcome!

The Foundation for the build is mostly listed above. The Poisoned Perk in the Pickpocket Tree. You could call this build somewhat of a minibuild - I'll only be reaching level 25 with it, because after that, I can foresee it getting boring. Another inspiration came from this, which Paws also has linked below - Teinaava's Tribes of the Sahxleel, a fantastic insight into the tribes of the Argonians, or in their native tongue, the Sahxleel. The tribe this build focuses on is the Kota-Vimleel, or as they're known to the rest of the world, the Black Tongues, Black Marsh, and possibly Tamriel's most prolific Alchemists. The Kota-Vimleel are insanely knowledgable with anything Alchemical, and are fervent worshippers of Sithis, Chief Deity of the Dark Brotherhood of Tamriel, and The Void. They are even said to be able to control the hatching date of their females so they are born under the Sign of the Shadow, using an alchemical wonder known as Gloom Nectar. Not much more is known of the dark tribe known as the Black Tongues, other than that is where our intrepid player character will come from. The secondary foundation, is as mentioned before, the Poisoned Perk. I just can't get over how awesome this is. Most Alchemy builds don't make use of this, instead preferring to poison weapons or some other semblance of true Alchemical Mastery. The ability to physically deposit poisons into your enemies pocket allows you to directly inflict your wondrous (or deadly) potions and poisons upon your foe. It gives you a fantastic gameplay edge, meaning you seriously have to stake out an area, because if you run in expecting to wreck people, you won't. Your claws are undoubtedly good weapons, but your massive damage comes from your silent potions and poisons, so sneaking will be a huge part of the build.

0/0/1
Race: Seriously? Argonians provide a decent roleplaying factor, (seeing the build is named the Argonian Alchemist) as well as sneak, and pickpocket buffs.
Stone: Originally, keep the Thief for levelling up every single one of your most important skills, and then switch out to either the Atronarch Stone or the Serpent Stone, purely for roleplaying.
Skills: Alchemy, Pickpocket, Sneak, One-Handed, Light Armor
Gear: Linwe's Armor, Linwe's Gloves, Guild Master's Boots, The Ring of Potions (Silver Ring enchanted with fortify Alchemy) The Necklace of Snakeskin (Silver Necklace enchanted with resist Poison)
Weapons: Blades of the Skinsickening (Dual Blades of Sacrifice enchanted with Absorb Stamina), Blade of the Poisontouch (Blade of Sacrifice used for poisoning)
