Pros: Tons of damage with a maul and Brutal Critical, lightning damage, Rage, Crusher and an overcapped Strength modifier. Thicc boi with over 300 HP, decent AC and stellar Con saves. Lots of support abilities and if you want to grapple, do that. Cons: Wisdom saves are gonna fuck you over and then some. Intelligence saves are also gonna fuck you over, maybe not as frequently but you run the risk of feeble mind. No Calligraphy
I may do that down the line, if I can find anything Mars is known for. I just know that Ares is known for being a little bitch and getting captured that one time.
Nice build. I noticed a theme of all legendary builds are low INT and Wis. If you do another build; may I recommend Xbalanque of Mayan myth. He and his older twin Hunahpu were called by the lords of death to play a ball game like their father and uncle. The father and uncle failed several test before playing and forfeit their lives in the process. but both Xbalanque and Hunahpu were wiser and came up with plans for it.
I don't know if you take viewer ideas, but I may as well toss this one out there anyway: Pelinal Whitestrake (The Elder Scrolls) There's some lore videos from Fudgemuppet and other RU-vid channels if you aren't familiar. I'll give a summary of his story as far as I remember/understand it (but keep in mind that it's rather convoluted): Pelinal Whitestrake was born around the 1st Era (for context, Skyrim is in the 4th Era). His origins are debatable, but many fall into two ideas that can possibly be combined into one: he was either the reincarnation of Lorkhan, the literal universe, or he was some sort of cyborg sent from the future, Terminator style. Possibly both. The surname 'Whitestrake' was dubbed for his snow white hair. That Terminator specification is actually rather accurate. In the 1st Era, the Cyrodiillian Empire did not exist yet, as the Ayleids were instead the ruling power. The Ayleids were a race of elves, with a strong penchant for Daedric worshipping and enslaving other races - among which included the Cyrodillian humans. Pelinal arose during a revolt started by St. Alessia, the latter of whom was the first prophet of the Divines as well as founder of the Cyrodillian Empire. Alas, Whitestrake would never see the Cyrodillian Empire in his lifetime, but he would be the enabler for its existence - if Alessia was the voice of the Divines, Pelinal was the blade. Some of his epithets included "Divine Crusader" and "Star-Made Knight." Let's start from there. Pelinal was, of course, fighting alongside the human rebellion - he himself was _technically_ human, but unquestionably, he was basically a half-god. Although he was empowered by the Divines on top of that, he actually scorned all deific beings, Aedra/Divines and Daedra alike all undiscriminated. In a somewhat Achillean fashion, Pelinal Whitestrake is actually homosexual, and when his lover, Huna, died... well, just like Achilles after Patroclus died, Pelinal went well and truly apeshit. In what would be called his First Madness, he rampaged with ferocious might like the demi-god he is, and began his solo massacre of _millions_ of elves. It was after he began mistakeningly identifying khajiit as elves, that Alessia communed with the Divines to snap him out of his Madness. Alas, it did not remotely stop his one-man genocide of the Ayleids, though. With blows that supposedly could level forests and mountains per hit, he marched into the White-Gold Tower, bathed in so much elven blood that his hair was permanently dyed to make him a brunette. The winged-king of the Ayleids, Umaril the Unfeathered, was soundly brutalized, but not before exhausting Pelinal enough for the lesser Ayleid lords to literally rip Pelinal into 8-9 pieces, before promptly fleeing Cyrodiil. One would think that, as his head was ripped from his body, Pelinal would be immediately killed. No, he wasn't. Instead, he lived long enough for the Minotaur Morhaus, consort to Alessia, to hear his last words, whatever they may be. The last thing I know of Pelinal, is his attempt at achieving CHIM. It was not explicit to me when he made that attempt, but I do know what the process refers to. Canonically, the Elder Scrolls universe is a dream within the being known as the Godhead. When a character realizes that, that they are figments of a dream, they attempt CHIM - and the _desirable_ outcome is achieving godhood. It's a well-known mystery in the Elder Scrolls lore-base about why the technologically advanced Dwemer elves disappeared - in short, they as a race attempted CHIM, and whether they succeeded or not, they did not reach the desirable outcome - in fact, they straight-up ceased to exist. _P o o f,_ gone. The concept of CHIM was actually pivotal for The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, wherein the main villain, Dagoth Ur, enacted reverse CHIM - that is to say, he believed himself to be a god so much, that he began existing. It's at this point in the lore iceberg where Elder Scrolls becomes evident as an intellectual creation of LSD. Anyhow, specifications about his equipment appear in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, wherein the Knights of the Nine DLC allows the player to inherit the armaments of the Divine Crusader. Each piece of armor or weapon was gifted and sourced from one of the then Eight Divines.
Forgot to add this. Here is a link for a video for their main story. also they use blowguns to deal with a being named seven mccaw. Mayan Mythology - Hunahpu and Xbalanque - RU-vid
The link doesn't seem to be working, but I can look them up. And thanks for the recommendation! And you're right, I already have other legendary builds in mind, and a LOT of legendary heroes are basically Barbarians, so finding ones that are literally ANYTHING else is going to be tricky, lol.
cool video, also technically Mjolnir is a small Maul as a Warhammer has one side hammer and one side spike and is usually thinner, the thing the MCU got right is how mjolnir kinda looks, and by Medieval Warfare standards it would be a small maul or a mallet, the 2 handed part is less viable, but hey, I mean you can technically 2 hand anything
Based on artwork and whatnot, DnD(and fantasy in general) seems to think that warhammers are what you said, small mauls, or more often sledgehammers with massive heads. I usually find it easier to just play to the common knowledge, and then assure those in-the-know that you know too when necessary.
