D&D 5E (2014) I wanna see your ideas for a 1st-level character based on Cookie Lyon

[Afrodyte]

We already know she's human. What class would she be? What would be her background? What would be her ability scores (standard array or 27-point buy)? Which skill proficiencies would she choose?

And how would you model proficiency with brooms and baseball bats?

If this is the case, I would recommend using Modern d20 for her write up.

I believe someone already made a conversion of D&D 5e into a Modern d20 5e.

I wound up making her a bard with the criminal background, and it fit like a glove.

Check out the Modern d20 conversion of 5e, see if there is anything there that fits as well.

It's worth looking at, the material is well put together.

Thanks for the tip, but not interested in D20 Modern. I should've mentioned I was specifically looking at D&D.

Oh, alright. Yeah, no problem.

As long as the build works out well for you.

Never seen the show, but I looked up some YouTube clips of her to get an idea. Your bard/criminal build sounds right.

Skills: Persuasion, performance, intimidation

Definitely think she also needs the Tavern Brawler feat so she's proficient in fighting with whatever she happens to pick up.

Bond: I do everything for my family (even Lucious stank behind), good and bad.
Flaw: I can be a human tornado when you piss me off.
