    Is this the first Ash'abah build here? +1 for that fact and for the presentation.

    I'm slightly disappointed the lore wasn't explored more. You briefly mention the Ansei in connection to the Bound Sword, but don't take that opportunity to really sell the association using the wealth of lore on the subject:

    These pariahs answer to no regional ruler, and shift their whereabouts like the sand itself. It is said the Ash'abah are finishing the work first set out by the three great Ansei who formed the Ansei Wards. As with these ancient heroes, the Ash'abah cast aside their own devotions to serve the lives of the Redguard people. For when the dead, whether blighted or honored, rise to strike at the Redguards, the Ash'abah strike back when their brethren cannot.

    I know one other is from the Factions event, and Boro's Mutant was raised for a time by them

    I mean I don't want to be like critical or anything but rapid fire isn't all that unique to this build I mean anyone with a bow can do that similar to adjudqtion just a thought I dont want you to take it the wrong way

    Well it says "Abilities", not "Special Moves". There is Legendary builds that have a single shout as one of their "Special Moves".

    Nice job on this one.... I like the build for what it is but 1 tho... "Righteous Exorcism" How is it righteous if it keeps raisin 'em undead? Kinda goes against the lore and nature of build if you know what I mean. Also, the load out... Steel plate legs and arms + fur armor & alteration with no blocking mechanism or summon to tank for you? What's the end AR for this Build? What difficult is this on? Adept? Expert? Cause I doubt this can take master or legendary difficulty. Still +1 from me cause I like the mechanics and it's to the point format.

    Nicely done, and I'm not saying that simply because you included the MAAS.

    Really like this build, but say... I just checked skyrim-wiki to find out where your recommended npcs for the tribal community are, isn't Senna a Breton? Atleast the wiki says so, Anwen is the only readguard (besides Rayya) who you can mary (again acourding to the skyrim wiki). Was that intended or did you just confuse them with each other?

    But again, awesome build +1

    No, it's not actually the first. Another one was made as part of the factions event: http://theskyrimblog.ning.com/group/character-building/forum/topics...
    Yeah, I was originally planning to go into more detail on the lore, but I figured it would be best not to give the reader an information overload at the start. I'll make a few edits about the ansei and shehai though, thanks. On a side note, where are you quoting that lore from?

    I play tested it on master actually, but that was with my follower...and I spent most of my time against Draugr, they're ridiculously easy for this guy! I saw this guy as a sort of antihero (if that's the right word for what I mean). He would use any means possible just to eradicate the undead, including raising them to fight for him. And I would sometimes use the ritual stone without the ring of necromancy to have a summon tank for me. AR, I'll need to check on my save. Thanks a lot for pointing those out, Warlocks, and the like!
