I basically built this character concept already but instead of firbolg (cow person) I chose eladrin. Norse myths treat all supernatural creatures as fey and therefore a god would be a long living being from the feywild. Instead of 15 levels in sorcerer I took 15 levels in bard. I took 5 levels of paladin just like he did. End result is the same except the college of whispers bard gets to turn bardic inspiration into psychic damage with a weapon attack.

Before I watch, I just want to say: for a comics-accurate Loki, you should take Blessed of Corellon. It’s a MToF rule (which is also exempt from PHB+1 in AL games, and can be taken completely for frew) that lets your character switch (anatomical) sex at the end of a long rest if they feel like it, which comic Loki has been known to do. It’s technically elves-only, but a chill DM won’t care.

Episode 27 of the Fire Emblem stats: Loki. Also, funny, who's coming up next suits him very well. Loki uses a mix of lances (to match his spears), authority (he's a natural leader) and both types of magic (since he's a sorceror). He refuses to use axes on principle since he hates Thor. Loki's luck, charm, magic, and resistance are high. His other stats, especially his defense, are not so lucky.

I thought about Trickery Cleric / School of Illusion Wizard, but when it comes to casting, I generally pick the class based on the ability modifier. Charisma pushed me to Sorcerer, and spears being strength based pushed me towards a Treachery Paladin, rather than a Trickery cleric that's more of a Wis/Dex build. Not to say a Loki dex build wouldn't work, youd just be focusing on knives instead of the spear. And I'm a fan of the spear.

Man, being used to Pathfinder makes this build *so weird* -- Paladins are required to be Lawful Good, thus incompatible with Loki's Chaotic Neutral (or possibly Chaotic Good, depending on how you play him). Could you explain a little better why you chose ranks in Paladin, as opposed to other possibly classes that he could've multi'd with? I'd like to try to convert the base ideas into a Pathfinder build, and I would never have thought of Paladin as any sort of choice while trying to build Loki. P.S. In future videos, would you mind putting a little icon next to spells that require Concentration? I think it'd be useful to have a visual distinction for those (and, come to think of it, for Bonus Action things... basically any class of actions where you can only use one at a time, there should be an icon). Also, a summary sheet near the end -- perhaps just the 20th level, but ideally a 5th level, 10th level, 15th level, and 20th level summary sheet -- would be useful for an overview of spell choices and feat choices and such. Thanks for making these! I think your videos are a really cool idea.

I don't disagree with it. Your build works fine. But, since you started with a Firbolg, I was thinking that the Trickery Cleric was an obvious fit with the WIS bump firbolgs get. I actually would have used (white)dragonborn, with Valor Bard. Swords would deliver stronger melee, but I feel like Loki is far more about magic than melee. Single class gives you more slots and faster progression, and more ASIs.

Oathbreaker I can see as a "Paladin in mechanics terms only" as it makes sense that "Fallen Paladin" would still be a Paladin subclass. However, I refuse to recognize "Oath of Treachery" as a thing as there is no actual Oath there and it doesn't fit with Paladins at all. At best it steps on the toes of Oathbreaker (flavorwise).
