You mentioned that you would be interested in other ways to get dragon souls? When I play more sneaky or squishy characters I use the wabbajack to kill dragons. It will only proc for elemental damage, and is not effected by difficulty. It downs dragons FAST. It might fit in as a neat little trick in your bag of even neater tricks if you so wish. Also, I enjoyed reading the build, it was very entertaining, +1.

I never thought of the Wabbajack. Thanks for the input :)

Great build! What difficulty would you recommend though? At expert I'm having some problems with getting the amount of poisons required to kill an entire camp or dungeon. Maybe I should just get better at finding ingredients?

I started at Apprentice until I got the the Poisoned perk in the Pickpocket skill tree and levelled up my Alchemy a bit. After I gathered a decent inventory of potions/poisons I upped the difficulty from there. You should really play with what you're comfortable with though, I definitely didn't play at Master difficulty. But if you can, props to you. :)

Thanks for the advice. :) I changed to adept and I'm having a blast. I also thought the White Phial quest might fit the build well, what is your opinion on that?

The White Phial would fit the build well, and in hindsight I don't know why I didn't do the quest. I guess I never saw it to be as a useful item for the build, but for roleplaying purposes I guess it makes the idea of becoming a legendary alchemist more viable. Go for it!

Amazing build. A wonderful mix of roleplay and gameplay who forces the player to unusual approaches to the game. I'm going to run it in the next weeks. +1.

Good idea, but a woodelf wouldn't pick plants to make potions, due to the green pact, other than that, well laid out and good idea, good job buddy
