  It flows better now. I get why you need to leave the lore and special moves in there. I also like your explanations on how your getting the offensive/defensive numbers. I hope this gets more likes because I really like the concept a lot.

  Hi Crybon, 

  OK, reasonable enough... however, there is one point that doesn't fit in, which I think would sway logic to my end... If  "Necromage" as a perk is meant as a "legal" exploit with finite effects, then it would be applicable to all players without them necessary having to turn Vamp.

  I see it as a perk, not for allocating points, but one of the many benefits of playing as an undead like a vamp in this game. This means that Bethesda developers are actually encouraging players to play a vamp an provide this perk to sweeten the deal.

  But then again, to each his own i suppose. ;)

  Thanks.

  My only problem is Heavy Armor. Monks usually rely on speed, discipline, and skill to avoid damage, not more armor. I understand you need gauntlets for the Unarmed damage, but besides that, I'll either use robes or light armor. I wasn't to fond of the Oblivion monk class, never understood stealth....still, gets my like

  hey ironfatman, 

  Thanks for the like man... ok, so yeah, I agree with you on the heavy armor portion, but Skyrim has forced the Fist of Steel perk on anyone who wants to do unarmed... which is kinda sad.

  So, since i though instead of going with an all out armored "brawler", "Bandit" or "Fighter" types  we might as well do one one of the Vigilant of Standarr types - Heavy armored gloves and boots with the rest of it being cloth.

  It provides a good mix of both worlds, with armor and magicka regen from cloth. In all, you should have a pretty decent armor rating and the fighting style isn't always in your face type... which means that you will not necessary be taking any hard attacks much due to the incorporation of a fair amount of Bow usage.

  Great use of the Tower Stone, there's nothing worse and more immersion breaking to an honourable and good character than having a guard say "go fiddling with any locks around here and we're going to have a real problem."

  I wasn't too pushed on this build as it didn't really seem like a monk to me. Someone who follows the way of the voice would not align with evil for any reason, a monk would not use bows, as shown by the Greybeards only using their fists and the thu'um, and a khaijit is brilliant for an unarmed character. Also, the imperials are NOT the "military arm of the ruling government of Tamriel" they are the race from Cyrodiil, no one government rules all of Tamriel anymore, and the Imperial Legion is the military arm of the Empire.

  Hi All, 

  I will work on re-vamping this build tommrow since it's pretty late here. Just to note, only the format or presentation will change, however if there is any feedback that is deemed feasible, I will take it into consideration as well.

  Thank you.
