Mythological Figures

Cover Art

Mythological Figures was a weekly column on EN World by Mike Myler, originally inspired by Deities & Demigods. It included both historical and fictional figures built as NPCs using class levels and standard ability scores, and mythical monsters designed with statblocks that adhere to the stories told about them in our world. The first entry was Achilles in March 2018, and the last was Alexander the Great in April 2022.

Hardcover​

This column is partially collected in a full-colour hardcover compilation called Mythological Figures & Maleficent Monsters available on ENPublishingRPG.com or DriveThruRPG.

The hardcover includes a foreword by James M. Ward, author of AD&D's Deities & Demigods.

Methodology​

Challenge ratings are calculated using both the DMG guidelines, and the Blog of Holding's rubric, with a little manual adjustment. The mythological figures strictly use player character build rules. Most classes used are from the D&D official rulebooks, but occasionally another class might be requisitioned when needed:

• The Warlord fighter subclass can be found on ThinkDM. It is based on the subclass created by a Wizards of the Coast designer.
• Other classes come from EN Publishing's Masterclass Codex.
