    This is definitely a way to be an unstoppable god killing machine. Edit: and I overlooked one little thing, battle axes deal 1D8 with one hand and 1d10 when wielded with both hands.

      Hi, I wanted to try this build, I just have a doubt, what do you do about the curse of the Axe? Is just the way it's spelled "remove curse" and "greater restoration" kinda sounds like it just restores your physical form, but the axe will change you back again.

      I saw a great video by zacspeaksgiant that suggested you go ranger and take the optional feat primal companion. Then take the beast of land and voila you play as Atreus the ranger and Kratos is your companion

      @@dunki1718asically, you are only cursed while attuned to the axe. Greater Restoration and Remove Curse will remove your attunement to the axe. Preventing the curse from affecting you. (At least until you attune with it again.)

    If you really want the blades of chaos as close to the actual thing as possible (and if you don’t really care about roleplay) be a Kor. They have a natural affinity with chain hooks for climbing and fighting.

    I love this, this is a fantastic representation of Kratos. Just wanted to point out though that battleaxes are d8/d10! die, so you're damage is even more insane with those Crits!

    Cool build idea, Another, I would love to see is a Geralt of Rivia (Witcher) build. I think it would be a very versatile build, but also could be hard to mix in all the elements of a Witcher.

    DnD Builds Thank you for these videos. I just recently got into DnD, and I found your channel 2 days ago. These videos have been very illuminating for me, in showing how to match character concepts with different aspects of the D&D system. They have helped me expand my idea of roleplaying because I can match up in character reasons for why characters would have certain abilities in the game. Some of the things you go over are a little over my head because I don't fully understand all the systems yet, but these videos are definitely a fun way to be introduced to new ideas, builds, concepts, feats, items, spells, etc. I really appreciate all the work that you put into them, and in the future I look forward to rewatching them once I have a better idea of the mechanics involved.
    If you are accepting future video suggestions, I would love to see a video for Aang from Avatar the Last Airbender. I feel like a flying monk with a bo-staff/glider and elemental attacks is a really cool idea in general even if I have no clue how it would work in D&D.

    I would add a few levels of artificer. It does not fit with the character much but allows you to get some of the effects of his weapons from the games. For example returning weapon to have the leviathan axe or style it as chains to make the blades of chaos.

    I would have taken 3 levels in fighter (champion) to get action surge, second wind and improved crit chance. It might be weaker because we lack unlimited rage and improved con and strength but he is the god of war, so I feel like some levels in fighter to make him more like a warrior/spartan.

      Just for flavor in a way, since Kratos does not fly, maybe ask the DM if it's ok to trade the flying with when you rage, it also turns the rest of the stuff on for Radiant Soul. Sounds like a decent compromise.
