    I don't do #/#/# perk spreads, because what works for me won't necessarily hold up with somebody else's playstyle.  You may need more Health because you take more hits, or Magicka from spamming Impact dry.  Also, a major effort was made to NOT tell the reader how to play, beyond the pre-requisites that make a Sorcerer a Sorcerer. 

    That's why I didn't suggest any Equipment.  For another, it would be a real short section:  "Heavy Armor.  I like Orcish because it matches Nahkriin nicely, but you may prefer Ebony, Dragonplate, or Daedric."  That's pretty much it, so i moved the top tier list down to the "Glass Cannon" paragraph.

    Sounds like you have Rogue well in hand, and it'll save me the trouble of cranking one out for playtesting.  Not really my style, I'm more of a Battlemage/Spellsword/Nightblade/Sorcerer kind of guyl.  MSG me if you have anything else I can help with, I really want to see this project succeed.

    I'd probably change Enchanting to Alchemy for the sorcerer, since it fits the lore better, actually enhances Damage, and it's harder to work Enchantment without a weapon skill to Soul Trap.

    I'm working on the Acrobat, with the Caveat that it'll likely not be all that viable in Skyrim, nor easilly differentiated from a Sniper with Lockpicking.

    Honestly, clases changed from game to game, with some even dropping off, and being replaced until they were removed completely.  I think we can just drop this one from Skyrim due to incompatibility.

    Well, it's your build, so do what you want. Like I said, if you want to do an Acrobat or Agent build, that'd be helpful. I already have a Rogue to work off of and I'll have my Pilgrim build posted either today or tomorrow.

    Agent is more than doable, so I'll get on that.  I'm still looking for something to stimulate the creative juices in Acrobat, but if I go there, he'll probably come out a Sniper.

    Tadaaa!

    I'm catching hell for it, but it's so worth it...

    I actually have an idea for the Acrobat, so I can take care of that one if you can't get the creative juices going.

    That would be better, since I'm already exceeding my quota of posts per day.  I'd like to see more of your interpretations anyway, especially on here.  Not to the point of being the Albino's Build thread mind you...

    I'm real happy with how my Sorcerer build turned out, and judging by the likes, it's actually waranted this time.  So, thanks for that.

    Threw it in there. I like the idea of having different agents depending on who they work for.

    Thought I already put it in there. Guess not. Putting it in now.
