    So I would like to enlist mysef to the joust with the following little foolish idea :

    Dunmer are known to be some of the greatest mage in Tamriel right ? So if I let myself grow a goatee, had some nifty mystic blue tatoo, a raged but dignified set of robes, put on some theatrics and walked with a staff no would be the wiser that I can't cast one damn spell, suck at brewing potions and don't understand jack shit about enchantment ?

    If my cousin Malur in Whinterhold can pretend to be the magic counselor of a Jarl, with my flair for dramatics I can surely become much more, maybe even... a Archmage !

    So here is the plan, a Dunmer that litteraly talk his way throught the Mage guild quest without casting a single spell of his own (meaning any spell that cost magicka and or has to be learn in a spell book). So you guest it lot of staves and scrolls...

    Extra challenge, he fight like a girl (figuratively, no offense ladies), don't know the right end of a sword, can't pull a arrow from a quiver and has too much pride for allowing any back up (so no NPC doing the quest for you).

    Hope it's enough of a twist for you...

    Well, what are the skills? I imagine you're usiing Illusion, which would be your one from the Dunmer.

    @ Lissette Only the shadow stone stocked in the aetherial crown. I know there are already some awesome builds here that have gone this road like the wizard of Oz (no link sorry I'm on my phone) and a great bravo to them all,but I want to try my own brand of pathetic thief / genial bluffer and do this without any magical related skill perked or even used (except enchanting that will slowy level up but won't be actively traîner).

    Then the skills are one perk in stealth and another in mufle and then it is a full house in speech, pickpocket and some perks in block. The rest is a stupid overuse of wabadjak, spellbreaker and just about every staff found in the game. Almost 0 AR and a all in repartition in health.

    Darn, not sure how I missed this.  But is that just a week to design, build and (thoroughly) playtest a build?  Seems to be, oh I don't know, so against what is normally preached and demanded...lol. 

    Anyway, good luck to the participants.  Looking forward to checking these out.

    3. You have from midnight Eastern Standard Time on the 21st of October to 11:59pm EST on the 27th of October to register your build on the Event thread.  Just reply to this thread with your intended abomination, uh creation, and we'll add it to the list. 


    4. You can posts builds any time from 12am October 28th to 11:59pm November 28th (Cyber Monday). This will be what all that extra turkey will be for on the Thanksgiving Weekend. 

     

    Unless, I'm mistaken, that's a month, not a week. Rule three is to announce intent to participate. Rule four gives you the time frame to post builds. If it is unclear, though I will rephrase it. Week to Register, month to submit a build.

    So you'll be lightly perking Sneak which would count as your one dunmer skill. Yeah, my Freelancer was all staves and scrolls. I'd say go for it. See what you come up with.
