so i got back into skyrim then got bored of it and im finding it hard to pick it up again. so for the past few days i have been making a build i would like to share. its essentially a ninja build. i got the idea from watching the warriors way.

race : Khajiit (this is pretty much rp purpose for me . i feel they would fit a mysterious foreign ninja from a stange land come to skyrim for a better life, and plus night eye will be amazing with this build)

skills- major
one handed
conjuration
illusion
light amour
alchemy
enchanting
sneak


skills- minor/ optional
black smiting
archery
pick pocket
lock picking
destruction


skill overview
ill explain abit why i chose some of these skills

MAJOR SKILLS

one handed- i thought this would fit the build nicely. being a ninja means taking out enemies swiftly with your sword (of witch you could use a blades sword for rp purposes or even an ebony sword since its the closest to a katana but there are alot of unique swords you could use too.) you would be using invisibility to go around the battlefield and appear just to slice the enemies open. you would think to be using alot of power attacks too. this perk could go many ways. mostly how i would play is a spell in one hand and sword in the other to start off then once you are done with magic swap to sword and nothing, sword and sword or word and dagger. the dagger would mean you could silent kill enemies (im not sure if you can assassinate with a one handed sword? so you wouldn't really need daggers if you didn't want them)

magic!- this is kinda summing all the magic together for this build. think of all of the magic as being ninjusu and genjustu (like off naruto)

*conjuration - this is kinda just like ninja summoning. i would say don't rely on this too much because then you really don't need to melee but conjuration is one of the best skills i know and its hella fun

*illusion- i figured this was a must with this build. researching it more i would say the main types of illusion you would use are invisibility and muffle. i guess the others could help ie pacifie or frenzy peoples around your target and then go in for the kill and leave without a trace. i guess ninjas from nartuo can do this but im not sure . what do you guys think?

destruction- this one i put in minor because i wasn't sure. using destruction could be great for a ninja build if you once again compare to naruto. they use elements so using destruction could be a good way to play a ninja but it might add more fun to it. like say you are sick of meleeing in a big fight? use dual casting fire balls as a "ninjusu" or something. you could even add in conjuration to the mix.

sneak and light amours are kind of self explanatory

alchemy would be your source of healing and poisons

black smiting- this is a personal choice. i would say full dragon scale would be epic as end game ninja amour but you don't have to. you can play scavenger and just find all your amour and weapons. would you use this?

archery again is your choice. would you like to be more melee orientated or go for both or even just archery

lock picking and pick pocket are own choice too. i kinda left them out of main since we already have so much to levl but what do you think?

enchanting- this is in main because it will be good to enchant your weapons and amour the way you want them. it will go great if you do black smiting but again you don't need it

summery
i think this build would be really fun. you can take out skills and put skills in to make your own style ninja so not everyone will be the same. the main skills i would say you need are light amour, one handed and sneak... oh and alchemy since it will be good for potions and also it would fit a ninja description (knowing poisons and plants) but i guess you could use restoration and be a healing type of ninja too.


sorry about the long read but i hope you liked it and let me know what you think of this build and if you are going to test it out

This is just a stealth build man,

yes because that is what a ninja usually does......but i did say play around with it how you want. this is the core basics i felt would make a good ninja build its up to you how you want to play it.

for instance i will most likely be more of a warrior ninja. using speed to zip around the battle field and slice up the threat. with alittle but of destruction possible conjuration and i will be using invisibility alot to catch them by surprise. something like that

Sounds like a nightblade
