Legend
The book Mythological Figures and Maleficent Monsters is pretty cool, but what about if you wanted to play a PC inspired by a famous character, much like the Avenging Archetypes from GPG 2 allow for superheroes? Obviously, you can approximate most anything with some clever design and conversations with your GM, but I’m more interested in inspiration for brewing up new options! Which figures would people want to play, and how should they be built?
A few ideas:
Sun Wukong Druid - Fight with weapons while wildshaped
Odysseus/Penelope Savant - Focus on Deception, Disguises, and De-escalation
Achilles Berserker - Bonuses when an ally reaches 0 hit points
Arjun Herald - Ranged weapons, (and perhaps some ways to mitigate when allies roll poorly)
Scheherazade Bard - benefits that improve when casted repeatedly
Ahab Marshal - bonuses against “sworn enemies”
