I had a vast collection of different daggers by the end of my play-thru. This meant a greater investment in Stamina which was useful for Eagle Eye, sprinting, burst damage, and stun locking opponents when all else failed. Stat Placement: M:0 H:1 S:4 I wanted to keep the build squishy making us need to be stealthy and spend most of our time avoiding unnecessary conflict. Un-perked (but heavily used) Skills: Lock-picking and One-Handed Major Skills: Alchemy, Pickpocket, and Sneak

However, it’s squirreled away in a corner of the map that we never have reason to visit, so if you aren’t up for the trek you can always settle for the Thief Stone even though our chosen skills already level rather quickly. Stone: The Serpent stone makes the most sense for a poison centric build, and mimics the Poison Widow’s signature poison. Personally I prefer a Bosmer waif, but any race can be used since this build doesn’t rely on any of the race specific powers. Race: Khajiit, Bosmer, and Dunmer all make good choices since they have boosts to the two primary skills of Alchemy and Sneak. The Poison Widow excels at these more subtle kinds of murder. Some situations are better resolved by the discrete prick of a poisoned needle, or the addition of some imaginative spices to a cup of wine. Instead she has devoted herself to the discipline of Alchemy, and uses it to both slay her opponents and protect her own life. The Poison Widow is not a combatant by any stretch of the imagination, nor is she skilled at destructive or distractive forms of magic. In this way each initiate is unique and subsequently some are better suited to certain contracts than others, every lock has its key so to speak and the Dark Brotherhood embraces this diversity. The Dark Brotherhood recruits from many walks of life granted all of its members share a certain temperament, but each approaches their calling in a way that best suits them, be it a silent blade in the dark, a magical conflagration, or a screaming battleax. This build focuses on Alchemy to solve all of its problems and avoids any kind of combat or magical skill, instead focusing solely on those skills governed by the Thief stone. Again, why the short sleeves.The Poison Widow is a member of the dark brotherhood whose field of expertise, as you may have guessed, is poisons, toxins, and venoms. Or covered in wolf blood, it was hard to tell.

It was about as inconspicuous as I was ever going to manage.īeard, meanwhile, was still in his uniform, and now his arm was shredded. I needed something else to wear.įortunately there had been a mage cadaver just lying about in the sub-levels of the fort, and I had no qualms about putting on a dead person’s clothes, so long as they hadn’t been dead for too long. The air was still damp and chilly and awful. The foothills might have been green and more temperate, but you couldn’t fool me. The armor was too conspicuous, too bloodied, and showed too much skin, especially for Skyrim. I drank a measure from one of the healing potions I’d taken from the fort and considered my options. That earned it a stream of invective and also flames. Thank the Ancestors Ralof made for a better target.Įxcept for the one that I failed to connect a hit on and got a bite as a result. Including the local wolfpack, apparently. Whereas I was presently wearing an awful mash of Imperial and Stormcloak armor, which was not precisely the right message to send to anyone.
