Character Build Event: Against Type

    Welcome to our first Character Build Event for a new site and a new team. Varg’Ette is full like a sload in a cemetery. Full of what, you may ask? Full of…

    But we’re not gonna lie, we are super excited for this event. A new game, a new way to play. Test your skills as a builder and an-out-of-the-box thinker. Play a race, whatever playable race you desire, but… with a twist. Let your imagination run wild. Where will it take you in this game where when you leave Helgen, the world is at your feet and the limits are not bound by the horizon?

     

    The Hype trains starts and stops in this thread. Here is your hub for all things relating to the Character Building Event.  As with all things CB, we gotta play by rules. Knowing rules means we can later learn to bend them to make beautiful art.

     

     

    1.  First, take the time to read through these resources on Character Building. 

    Skyrim Character Building

    Character Building Resources

    Guide to Character Building

    Character Build Template

     

     

    2.  A build submitted for this event  must not contain more than one – read it again, slowly with me  ooonnnneeeee, that’s it—perked skill from your selected race’s preferred skillset.  You can have as many other skills as you'd like in addition to that one perked skill from your chosen race's preferred skillset. However, why not go for glory, we’d love to see builds that feature none of the skillset for their chosen race. To help you plan your creation of awesome, Varg’Ette has kindly included a list of races and their preferred skills.

     

    Adorable Altmer – Illusion, Alteration, Conjuration, Destruction, Enchanting, Restoration.

    Alluring Argonian – Lockpicking, Alteration, Light Armor, Pickpocket, Restoration, Sneak

    Beauteous Bosmer – Archery, Alchemy, Light Armor, Lockpicking, Pickpocket, Sneak

    Breathtaking Breton – Conjuration, Alchemy, Alteration, Illusion, Restoration, Speech

    Delectable Dunmer – Destruction, Alchemy, Alteration, Illusion, Light Armor, Sneak

    Impressive Imperial – Restoration, Block, Destruction, Enchanting, Heavy Armor, One-handed

    Kissable Khajiit – Sneak, Alchemy, Archery, Lockpicking, One-handed, Pickpocket

    Nom Nom Nord – Two-handed, Block, Light Armor, One-handed, Smithing, Speech

    Oohlala Orsimer – Heavy Armor, Block, Enchanting, One-handed, Smithing, Two-handed

    Ravishing Redguard – One-handed, Alteration, Archery, Block, Destruction, Smithing


    3. You have from midnight Eastern Standard Time on the 21st of October to 11:59pm EST on the 27th of October to register your build on the Event thread.  Just reply to this thread with your intended abomination, uh creation, and we'll add it to the list. 


    4. You can posts builds any time from 12am October 28th to 11:59pm November 28th (Cyber Monday) we lied December 5th, 11:59pm (no special Monday). This will be what all that extra turkey will be for on the Thanksgiving Weekend.


    5. We'd love to see new builders, so don’t be shy. It is sometimes scary, however, to take that first leap, therefore, use of the Workshop, hosted by Dragonborn1721, is highly recommended and we encourage free and open dialogue about your build. The Ette of Varg’Ette’s stuff's going up there. She loves yacking on about builds.  You can also come cry about your build here. We will give you sloady hugs and stuff. 


    6. Badges of participation will be awarded to members who submitted a build, that means done, complete, finito and sitting pretty sucking up likes in the CB group, by the completion of the Event. Limit one badge per participant. They are super cool and were designed by the Varg’ of Varg’Ette.



    7. All builds are to be labeled. Instead of using the standard "Character Build:" prefix, use "Event Build:"and be sure to tag your build with the tag "Event:Against Type" and "Rank:Event Bloodworks" to be considered eligible for the event. If you need help with tags do not hesitate to ask.  


    8. Current workshop builds. If a build currently in the Workshop meets the criteria of the Event, it can be registered for the Event, you only need to change its designation in the workshop to indicate that it is now an event. However, a build already posted in CB cannot be reused. You must post a new build. Might as well finish your build.

     

     

    We will be keeping this section updated regularly to feature both a builder’s WiP, if they chose to post one, and their final build once it’s posted in CB. Support, encourage, and cheer on our victims, dammit, I keep saying that, uh, participants.

    "Redguards are the most naturally talented warriors in Tamriel." Pssh. Sign me up for a Redguard who couldn't hold onto a blade if you shoved it up his arse.

    Hold up, are these allowed to be mod based? Because if not, I'll have to withdraw my arseblade Redguard and think of something else. Also, can we do more than one build?

    My Altmer will be a minimal magic using, two handed knight. Might name him Aelberon :)

    Well Lis has herself down as doing two builds, so I think that's a yes to your second question :P
