Gunslinger: ...19! (I actually rolled this and consulted his character sheet) DM: Suddenly, it hits you: Yes, this IS indeed the Amaterasu of Japanese myth. In that pantheon she is goddess of the sun, and a benevolent protector of Japan. My Gunslinger: (confused as all hell) ....So is she usually a dog?

While the Athlete feat (or is it athlete's foot?) might seem weak, there is a niche use for it. If you climb/jump 10ft into the air and drop on your enemy, the enemy needs to make a dc 15 dex save or take and half the fall damage and more importantly get knocked prone if they are at most 1 size larger. since you also take damage from the fall, you are also knocked prone. With the Athlete feat you can spend only 5ft to get up, allowing you to attack the prone opponent with advantage on every attack, and impose disadvantage on your enemy's opportunity attack when you step away, and on their turn the enemy must spend half their speed getting up (or crawl at half speed for the same result) so they can't chase after you effectively. This is a trick for the low levels, since multiclassing into caster with concentration spells and taking deliberate damage don't go hand in hand, and Monk 4 gets Slow Fall to not take damage or fall prone in the first place, so they stop relying on the feat but the trick is still nice.

Tulok: DMs don't want you to know the truth Creatures have Hidden True names that were made by the Gods to control them Just look at Light Yagami from episode 214 who uses the power of true names given to them by a lesser god This is why they are usually secret especially to mortals. But you may ask who writes the True name? Amaterasu! The head of the Japanese Pantheon. Do you want the power of gods and anime on your side? Give your character Calligraphy today!

(And his spelling is good too) I'm not a man of perfectionism, while Amaterasu is all about a perfect display of letters, the impecable order of the sentence and the wonder of the correct use of the punctuation simbols, I like lemurs, the enjoyment of fisticuffs and a simple minded approach to do the adventure work (wonder if Tulok can do a build for her soon), but both ways you can still can achieve great acts of heroism, even if the power of ink and god is in this build side.

This is a great Wisdom-based build…I’d had done a “painter” build prior with Bladesinger Wizard w/ Artificer Initiate feat for Painter’s Supplies…painting Intelligence spells into existence.
