Lugh Samildánach

I love to attempt to create classic characters this one becomes a god in epic

This is intended to invoke Lughs skill monkey aspect... but keeping strongly defining elements too
I consider it somewhat of a successful start anyway. Any ideas would be welcome.


Nice things The Tuathan elements the amount of proficient skils and skill swapping to help more.

Could probably use more sorceror powers via multiclassing

The sorceror of these stories had rituals (not yet) and vanishing (currently lacking) and beast forms (we get some timid ones plus a flight one from tuatha) or I debated using Druid MC instead of Tuathan and used a Scholar but Tuathan really rocks.

Lugh perhaps could be a spear wielder OR perhaps his spear could be done as a multi target lightning attack?

while His sword was named answerer (sort of implying a riposte which could indeed go with using a rapier)
His story includes a david and goliath like killing with a sling and rogue sling ability is very appropriate.

What would really make this build sing would be a feat that enabled a spear using rogue...

There is an elf feat I believe that enables bow use with rogue abilities (this would be on the order of that)

Hybrid Bard+Bard of All Trades = 'trained in all skills'

Just make sure to be actually trained in Arcana+Acrobatics as those are the two skills that have effects based on being trained.

Click to expand...

Rogue | Bard

I was also thinking of alternatively doing Barbarian... since the fighting style fits sweetly as well (though the mobility rogue works too with the sling use)

Presumedly anything I wanted skill powers from I would actually want to be trained in also.

Right. Plus Bard has some nice weapon-based powers - Arrow of Warning, Rhyme of the Bloodseeking Blade, Echoing Weapon that go well with a ranged weapon option. All available at very low levels.

oops I do not need to train athletics either since the boots let me swap them with acrobatics.

Adjusted the original post so that endurance and dungeoneering are trained


now the only skills not trained and not swapped are

Diplomacy +13, Heal +9, History +14, Religion +14

with heal being icky bad and a couple of the trained ones (nature and dungeoneering) not being much better than untrained...
