[QUOTE="Nathan Mitchell, post: 7181482, member: 6867841"] I presume that you want a character that is similar to the character Thor from the MCU. I personally like the idea of this character; it has a lot of roleplay potential while being effective in combat. However, I think you would have more luck as a Paladin. Paladin gives the divine flavour of Thor and puts the character into more of a frontline role which seems to be what you want for the character. It's certainly possible to reflavour Divine Smite to have lightning or thunder damage, as befitting the character. Aura of Protection makes you and any ally within 10ft of you nearly OP in terms of saving throws and the combination of Extra Attack and Divine Smite makes this character an absolute beast in melee combat, though you must be careful not to burn through your spell slots too quickly. If you want to wield Mjolnir, multiclass as a Pact of the Blade Warlock with your bonded weapon being a Warhammer or a Maul. This gives you the ability to recall your bonded weapon as a bonus action, you can ask the DM if this can be flavoured as the hammer flying back to your hand like Mjolnir does in the movies. This gives access to Eldritch Blast (reflavoured as the bolts of lightning called down by Mjolnir) and Booming Blade in one fell swoop, though Booming Blade is less attractive seen as Paladin gives you Extra Attack. In terms of game mechanics, Warlock spell slots refresh on short rests and you can use Warlock spell slots to fuel Divine Smite, giving you a bit more staying power throughout the adventuring day, while Eldritch Blast provides a powerful ranged option that Paladins usually lack.
