Example Builds

I can teach you a few things.

Below are a list of character builds I’ve personally created and use in the list. They aren’t necessarily the most optimized builds, but they are viable and varied so I still get to have a satisfying amount of role-play. Please use them for inspiration or guidance in creating your own characters.

In each build you’ll find perk builds and recommendations (typically 3) for standing stones, deity worship, and enchantment choices. I’ve also included shortlists of key spells and shouts for each build. I have omitted specific equipment recommendations and alchemical combinations for now. Those may come in future updates.

Note: While these are named after classes from earlier Elder Scrolls games, the names were just a starting concept. The end result tends to be slightly different as I try to incorporate Combat, Magic, and Stealth elements into every build for versatility.


Altmer Pilgrim

The mysteries cannot protect themselves.

Argonian Agent

Venom and vengeance: A toxic combination.

Bosmer Mage

My thirst for knowledge cannot be quenched.

Breton Warrior

I stand alone but at least I stand.

Dunmer Monk

A light to guide my way. A light to burn my foes.

Imperial Thief

My aims are my own, best you don’t end up as one of them.

Probably gonna dig a grave or two before this is done.

I bring the breath of winter to the field of war.

My blades and my mind are as one.
