    This names not being used by another build is it, does anyone know?

    Do a quick search and you'll find out.

    Nah it isn't Furrion. The closest I could find was Shadow of the Dawnguard, but not just Shadow of Dawn (which I think is different enough to be fine).

    I love this concept Furrion! If you haven't yet, try playing around with combining Shadow Step with Ghostwalk. Teleporting behind and enemy breaks invisibility so you get pulled right back to where you cast Ghostwalk. Getting an attack in between teleports takes a little practice (not much though), but not only is it a practical way to sneak attack from a safe hiding place when groups of enemies are out in the open...but it's a fun way to watch them keel over from new angles. Lol. https://tamrielvault.com/videos/16925/2386/stealth-tactics

    Thank's Tysoyaha! I've played with shadow step a bit but hadn't thought to use it with ghost walk. That'd certainly lead to some interesting mechanics combining the two. Might be a little too assassiny even for this build but I will certainly give it a try :)

    I've got some good combos with turning spells and sneak attacks with dawnbreaker, when you add in warriors flame upgrades and crusader's fire you can carve through the undead with ease. I've played plenty of sneaks and assassin's before but never came across one like this. So I thought I'd give it a go. I liked the Templar class from dragon age and thought hey what would a more rogueish templar be like that specialized in hunting down necromancers, blood mages and the undead that they create. So I mixed in a bit of stealth restoration and fire magick and came up with this.

    Here's a quick sneak peak at what my Shadow of Dawn character's looking like. I'm nearly finished the playtesting and it's been a really fun run so far. Should be starting work on puting the build to paper (so to speak) within a few day's :)

    Would anyone care to look over the backstory section to check spelling error's and grammar? I'm too tired too keep going tonight and have had had too much tea to drink already. Story isn't quite finished yet but it'd be good to get a critique/ spell check to see if i've missed anything lore wise as far as Wayrest goes.

    Any way if someone can do that I'd be much obliged, I'll be back tomorrow evening to hopefully finish the story up :)

    Whoa shit me, that's long. Uh, I'm no good at spell checks but I'll give it a quick lookover, but man it's just... I like a long build but I think that's pushing it with the Backstory even for me. It was a good read and created an interesting character, but honestly yeah just a tough thing to read through for the length alone. What I'd recommend is thinking about creating a condensed version of the build and posting the full version as a blog post. I've done that with a few of my builds before and it lets you show off the overall character fully but still keep the build at a reasonable length. 

    But yeah, man is it a good backstory. I really enjoyed reading it, it's an interesting story that I think set up everything perfectly.

    I'm with ya on the length. To be honest this was the condensed down version lmao. I get really into writing and find it hard to take out parts. the final part was going to go a lot more in depth into the vampire hunting aspect, to give off a TW3 Blood and Wine sort of vibe, but I cut that out so there was probably an extra 700 words just there. But glad you enjoyed the read I'll see what I can do about condensing it and maybe releasing the full version of the story on the blog separate and just link it to the build if peole want more context. A wall of text can be a bit intimidtiong at times haha. thanks for droping by mate :)
