Hello you lovely people ~ I'm looking for a build that makes heavy use of poisons. I was thinking some sort of assassin maybe, since assassins and poisons go so nicely together, and I'd also prefer not to be an archer. Other bonuses would be the use of magic and/or shouts, and if the build is roleplay heavy, all the better, but these are not requirements. I just want to mix and use poisons since I never do that. :D
Any suggestions?

Man, I've just realised that I recommend this build all the time, but The Chemical Chameleon by Nikolaj Poulson really is the quintessential alchemy build.

Picking up skyrim after a couple years and remembered this site! I'm looking for a build, or a build to inspire me to flesh out the character I've already started. What I know so far:
She's a bandit, (why unknown right now), the rest of her gang was killed in a fight while she was captured and taken to Helgen with some Stormcloaks captured by the same legion. Now, she is free but her entire bandit gang is dead. The good people of riverwood have accepted her despite her past, but she mostly sticks to the wilds for now, preying on other bandits (perhaps a rival gang tipped the Imperials?) and extorting travelling merchants while seeking a partner-in-crime. I haven't decided whether she'll accept the pardon in Whiterun (becoming thane) and go straight - she's a bandit because that's all she knows and could be convinced otherwise. Skilled in hand-to-hand and ambushing, persuasive, travels light, good at wilderness survival without it being the main focus. Basic or folk magic at best, as she can't read well.
I'm not looking for a build that exactly matches that but one that fits closely enough, I can adapt to fit that character and/or which could be used as inspiration to flesh out the character a bit more.

That's more Roleplay profile than build, you could apply that to a lot of thief/rogue builds. Anything more specific as far as the kind of skills and/or gameplay you're looking for?

Ah, yes. A lot of builds here have a roleplay background/profile too so my line of thinking was finding a build which would fit the profile.
Ambush focus without being a sneak-archer sniper. Setting up a plan of attack, a few arrows with poisons, then run in to finish the job and loot. Light to minimal armor. Basically, indirect attack with stealth/poisons/frenzy/etc. first and then a direct hand-to-hand attack on a weakened enemy. Never facing a powerful enemy or a band of enemies head-on.
Pickpocketing and speech would fit but would not be central skills.
I'm interested in magic if it uses the magic traps more and direct attacks less.

This might be too Bosmer-y for your RP, but I always loved the Green Warden from Manik as a rangery-rogue. https://tamrielvault.com/groups/topic/view/group_id/3/topic_id/6588

Hi,
Quickly coming back to Skyrim for the nthing time and I would like to do a full stamina build (I.e all points in stamina)
I'm currently thinking of something along the line of full archery with a speck of Aetherium shield for bashing and Vizage of Mzund to better weaponize the stamina pool... but I'm not 100% satisfied yet.
Does any of you would be kind enough to direct me to build that are using Stamina as tehir main stat ?
