This character is the very definition of a favorite child of the fates. Luck be a lady tonight is this character’s theme and she bend the fortunes of not only herself but those around her as well. She is a caster favored by the gods and studied enough to learn how to create the best outcomes for herself and for her fellows.
Zada Tenpenny aka Lady Luck
Race: Lightfoot Hafling +2 Dex, +1 Cha
(Standard Array)
Str 8 Dex 14 Con 12 Int 13 Wis 10 Cha 15 (base stats)
Str 8 Dex 16 Con 12 Int 13 Wis 10 Cha 16 (racial adjustment)
Class 4 Sorcerer (Divine Soul)/ 2 Wizard (School of Divination)
The three things that I wanted to achieve with this build are:
- The luckiest character that I can build
- Ability to bend the fortunes of those around her
- A capable spell caster with spells that can end battles quickly
For the Race of this build I went for Hafling and particularly Lightfoot for this sub-race. The key trait that starts her off on her luck bending powers is the Lucky trait. With Lucky she can re-roll 1’s on a d20. The Brave trait gives her the ability have advantage on being frightened which allows her to keep a calmer head than those around her.
For the stats I prioritized Cha, Dex and Int, since this character needs a strong force of personality, quickness of foot and the knowledgeable enough to bend the rules.
For Background I chose Charlatan since it gives her Deception, Sleight of hand and the necessary tool proficiencies of Disguise Kit and Forgery Kit. Once people realize how much Zada can bend the fortunes of fate to her whims she is rarely allowed to make fools of people a second time.
Class wise I went with Sorcerer 4/ Divine Soul subclass since this class is all about using the favor of the gods to overcome a lesser mortal’s fate. Her skills selected are Persuasion and Insight both of which she uses to influence the passions of others and keep from being manipulated. With further levels she gains font of magic at level two and at level three she gains subtle spell and quickened spell. With these two she can cast key spells with people barely noticing and if she needs to she can cast devastating spells and a cantrip in the time it would take other’s to cast one or the other. At fourth level her key feature is the Lucky feat. This feat will allow her to truly garner the best possible outcome when she needs it to happen.
From there she would smooth talk her way into a wizardy college and take up the school of Divination as her focus. She will stay in school til level two where she learns the ability of Portent. With Portent she can truly bend the fates of others as she can switch out someone’s fortune for a better or worse fate as she needs them to have.
