Legendary Build | Achilles (Greek Mythology)

[@zachjaeger6401]

question, didn't Achilles have a sword? (never read the Iliad but I've always seen him shown with both spear and sword.)

[@tabletopnephilim4633]

He probably did, it would have been the standard battlefield backup weapon, but he's more often shown with a spear.

Achilles is actually not a demigod, unless you count Thetis as a goddess, but one of the major plot points was that since Zeus was afraid that Thetis' child would surpass him due to a prophecy, he had her marry a mortal so that the child would be less powerful, he would probably be more similar to a Water Genasi than an Aasimar

I could have sworn she was a minor goddess. There goes my whole fakeout joke. Just proves you should always research a character before you make them, no matter how well you think you know them.
