Other mods which serve to increase difficulty are welcome. Whilst these mods technically aren't needed for the build to function, they are highly recommended. The following mods serve as a combat overhaul to enhance combat and increase difficulty:

Mysticism - A Magic Overhaul: Comprehensive magic overhaul that adds over 200 meticulously balanced spells to the game.

Alternate Start - Live Another Life: Provides an alternative means to start the game for those who do not wish to go through the lengthy intro sequence at Helgen.The last 3 mods serve as an overhaul of enchantments for nearly all of Skyrim's unique weapons and armor. Unique Items Tweaks - Improved Miscellaneous Artifacts.Trua - Minimalistic Faiths of Skyrim: A minimalistic religion mod that allows you to worship at shrines or pray to refresh your divine blessings.Morningstar - Minimalistic Races of Skyrim: Replaces the vanilla racial bonuses with two immersive passive bonuses per race.Adamant - A Perk Overhaul: Streamlined perk overhaul designed to enhance every aspect of your Skyrim experience.If you wish to use this build without the entirety of The Phoenix Flavour then the barebones essential mods are as follows: The Phoenix Flavour is NOT required for this build. This build was created with The Phoenix Flavour mod list. Created during TPF Release 3.3.3 and Adamant 3.0.2. Serves as a good introduction to Adamant and/or The Phoenix Flavour. Good for taking on a wide variety of content both gameplay-wise and lore-wise.

The 'classic' Dragonborn character (at least in my mind) - A Barbarian-type Nord proficient in two-handed & heavy armor, making heavy use of shouts.
