I'm playing my first tabletop game and want to play a character

Easily a rogue. I'd go with Arcane Trickster for the archetype.

DnD is shit. Play something better or kys.

Use a high DEX Cleric for Oddy.

Why a cleric?

You know damn well Odysseus pissed of Poseidon, so how is he a cleric?

He did rely a lot on the favor of other gods, but I think a rogue would still be better.

See, the issue is that Ulysses (reee) would suffer from MAD in d&amp;d terms. He was strong and constitution-y enough to stand on the front lines in the battle for troy, as well as win(debatably) a wrestling match with Ajax. He was also dexterous enough to sneak behind the walls and be Snake for a while. He was intelligent enough (Note that Investigation and History are both intelligence skills, and he&apos;s quite good with each), and he had wisdom out the ass (cunning in general, as well as his Insight, Perception, and Survival(especially survival)). Charisma is self-explanatory. So, that leaves you with what? Ranger/Rogue or Ranger/Valor Bard, I guess?

D&D is pretty terrible at modelling any character that isn't explicitly designed to fit into it's framework.

The correct answer to 99% of "How do I play [non-D&D character] in D&D" questions is simply that you can't, not in any way where it won't be painfully obvious that you're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Take a Cleric and dip into Rogue, or vice versage.

The fuck that formatting *$09409 bro.

Does it matter? You could always use the personality and such on any class.

It's Greek mythology. Everything that ever happened is because of the gods. If he's a cleric then so is virtually every other Greek hero, which seems rather silly.

He's the only one strong enough to string his bow. He's the cunning-est person alive. His constitution has to be really high for him to survive some of the shit he went through. He's a natural leader of men, so his charisma is high. He's essentially the character of that guy who comes in waving a sheet of paper saying "I rolled all 18's!" Mythological characters tend to be giant Mary Sues.

Maybe a fight-y rogue. Or a fighter/rogue. Or maybe a rogue with a dip into ranger.
