Thanks for the kind words .... I'm really enjoying the unfolding of " my " story playing this character ... I have found some of the most simple builds on this site have been my favorites .... Take for example Nosnakes Priest build .... Simple fun and effective ....I will update as Pryme fights his way thought the Dragonbotn Dlc

Adrik...... Font has been changed .... feedback would be great

I was thinking about possibly putting less to alchemy and using a bit of enchanting to have a fire damage sword to go along with the torch and sword playstyle. Any thoughts?

Well sure ..... Fire sounds great .......

Love it mate had a lot of fun with this build and yet changeling at the same time :) 10/10 from me

I do like this build and I stated a new save with this build in mind. But I feel some magic could be used at end game just to get some firepower in case you get spotted. Also I think the runes in destruction could be helpful otherwise a good looking build. hope to see more.

I been working on my character, and she is something like this. She uses restoration magic with alchemy for poisons and fortify boosts.

Hiya mate!  In case you drop by the blog again, just wanted to say thanks for posting this.  My main, Arche, has always been a hedge mage of sorts, self-sufficient and relying on her bow instead of on spells.  I'm trying her out as a Forester and having a lot of fun!  Did you ever get the chance to play this build using all three DLCs?  Hearthfire is a huge game changer for any alchemist.

This is the perk planning I've done for my personal variant.  She's not as ninja-sneaky (I will be wearing boots with muffle) or as dedicated to mastery of the sword, but she will be parrying like a baws and can temper the advanced crossbows from Dawnguard.  I think a "special forces" Legionnaire should master both the bow and the crossbow!

Since I'm not gonna use shouts or do any main questline except as required for the Civil War questline, I also just had to get that second perk in Steady Hand.  Hopefully I can find a good Absorb Stamina bow later on so I can Matrix Mode all the dungeons.

I'll post updates as I play!  So far, she's just been clearing meanies from around the Pinewatch area using lingering+instant poisons in combination with standard sword/bow tactics.  I got lucky in Falkreath and a guard died to some kind of bug.  Now I'm dressed as a Falkreath guard, shield included!  Once I've built up a bit more notoriety and fully furnished the small house at Lakeview, she'll be joining the Legion and become their first Forester in the province of Skyrim.

I think Bosmer best suit the skills and RP. Also, anyone know what races culture best suits Native Americans??? I'm stuck between Orc, Bosmer, and argonian, and this build seems to suit a race with a native American-like culture.

I am thinking on giving this a try.
