[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7856795, member: 58172"] [USER=6726030]@Mike Myler[/USER] This is a great build to represent to Loki. It is difficult to translate Non-D&D concepts into D&D-ese. This attempt has alot of good things going on for it. Making Loki a ‘human’ seems a sound choice for race. When the shaman takes on the ‘form’ of a horse, one really is a horse, even if a monstrous one, and can even become a pregnant as a mare. Likewise, when taking on the form of a human, one really is a human. Most jǫtnar are human size, like Loki, Skaði, and so on. So without size concerns, pure human feels solid. I like how the build uses multiclass as a way to push into the epic levels, while still using the 5e mechanics that are currently available. The Rogue class is a reasonable choice for Loki. It reminds me of him stealing the hair off of a woman. And his skill in deception is less about mind manipulation, and more about trickery. (I would like to see an epic level Þórr too, that uses multiclasses to push him into epic levels. Level 20 Devotion Paladin works surprisingly well to represent Thor as a lawful good defender and enforcer of oaths. Þórr is all about smites, and buffing magic. Plus, add some levels in an other class, and Þórr becomes epic.) I probably prefer to see Loki as chaotic neutral figure, and oppositely Þórr as lawful neutral figure. But Loki is arguably evil as nihilistic destroyer, while Þórr is arguably good as a defender of human civilization. So, I am ok with polarizing them as chaotic evil versus lawful good. Anyway good build. [/QUOTE]
