[QUOTE="Todd Roybark, post: 7945730, member: 6920677"] A PC Fighter starting with an always on Damage Resistance, equivalent to a Barbarian. I’m not trying to be rude, but once your starting point is that, is a 27 point buy truly a necessary restraint? You are not going to see Achilles in an AL game, that is for sure! 😃 Arguably, one could change the Inspiring Presence feat to be a trait granted by the divinely made armor of Achilles, and take an ASI instead, or a different feat. This can help stay within the 5e rules, while allowing the breadth of Achilles’ prowess to be shown in game terms. Achilles is reputed to have been taught by Chiron...training in the Survival and Medicine skills might be more appropriate then the Religion and Insight skills. Tool Proficiency in a Musical Instrument, would also be thematically appropriate. Let’s face it, no mythological figure handled by so many different authors and sources, (as Achilles has), is going to be easily represented, within adherence to 5e rules. The art is beautiful and this does a good job getting the flavor of Achilles. [/QUOTE]
