It’s a bit of an oddball choice in terms of theme, as Human or Aasimar would probably be closer to accuracy when it comes to Kratos’ lineage. That beard is the only reason we’re all alive it helps contain his power.įor Kratos, I decided to go with the Goliath as our racial choice. Below, let’s start building him into the engine of warfare that his enemies fear so much. Our build will be focusing on this version of Kratos, an experienced and incredibly comprehensive warrior. He had ventured incognito to another realm, one rimed with frost, finding redemption in beginning a new family. I highly recommend playing the original God of War trilogy (if you’re not squeamish about violence), but this takes us up to God of War 4.Īn older, wiser Kratos had survived against battles that tested even his godly powers. What followed is a too-long-to-recount epic of the rise and fall of Kratos, the new god of war.

Until, on a mission to slay the innocent inhabitants of a village, Kratos discovered that his own wife and daughter had been among those he had slain in his berserk fury.Īres had deceived Kratos, transporting his family here so that they could be sacrificed by the Blades of Chaos, with the intention of turning the Spartan into the perfect warrior. These deadly chained blades took the lives of many, on and off the battlefield, and it seemed pleasing for Kratos that he spend his days in a crimson mist that never seemed to fade. Kratos even swore fealty to Ares, then god of war in exchange for supernatural power, and control of the infamous Blades of Chaos. A warrior born with the blood of the gods flowing in his veins, brutality and violence were all that he knew. Hailing from Sparta in a mythological version of ancient Greece, Kratos spent his youth and the first half of adulthood evolving into the ultimate tool of conquest and bloodshed. Let’s see what the Ghost of Sparta can do when we bring him to the battlefield!
War of the gods dnd 5e series#
Spoilers for the God of War series in general will be in effect, though I will stay away from spoiling the major God of War 4 plot points.

Kratos, god of war and father of boy- I mean, Atreus, emerges onto the battlefields of D&D 5e. Fortunately, the best godslayer in the realm is here to wreak a just vengeance for our chilly suffering. Welcome to the hype, Buildies! This polar vortex we’re experiencing in the States is clearly a maelstrom, sent by Odin to torment us mortals down here on Midgard. ‘Listen to me: To be effective in combat, a warrior must not feel for his enemy. The road ahead is long, and unforgiving… no place for a boy. You must be a warrior.’
