Just what it says on the tin, build BRIAN BLESSED! as a Pathfinder character.
LN advanced giant dwarf male cavalier 2/bard 2/ranger 2.
Wikipedia wrote: Blessed has attempted to climb Mount Everest three times,[15] attaining heights of 28,200 feet (8,600 m) in 1993 and 25,200 feet (7,700 m) in 1996, but without reaching the summit.[16] He has, however, climbed to the tops of Mount Aconcagua in Argentina and Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. He is also the oldest man to trek to the North Magnetic Pole on foot,[17] and has undertaken an expedition into the jungles of Venezuela, during which he survived a plane crash.

Sorry, I'd have to give Brian Blessed more than two levels of Bard. He's no Olivier, but his voice is quite dominating. ;)
The build needs some Evangelist Cleric.
Quote: Public Speaker: An evangelist ... is trained to project her voice with great skill and effect; the DC to hear her speak in difficult conditions is reduced by an amount equal to her class level plus her Charisma modifier (minimum 0).
He's going to need more character levels to get his +15 bonus on Intimidate and Perform (oratory).
Somehow I feel that the Skald archetype for his Bard levels is most appropriate. Can you get into Horizon Walker from Bard?
Side note: I loved the notion of applying the Giant template to a Dwarf. Are we sure he's not just a hill giant with dwarfism?
This is the best thread I've seen all year.
So are we talking Hawkman Blessed or Shakespeare Blessed?

Either or both.
Or we can keep going with BRIAN BLESSED LIVE!
I recall reading - in a Sandman intro, as a digression from commenting on how the character Destruction in that series was modeled on BRIAN BLESSED - that he (BRIAN) used to go to hotels with a bunch of dumbbells and exercise weights tucked away inside each of the suitcases he was carrying, just to watch the hotel staff try to pick them up.
Where's that fit on the alignment chart? ;)
Please note it is Heresy not to use all caps when writing BRIAN BLESSEDs name.
Is it me or does Harsk look a lot like BRIAN BLESSED.
Don't forget the Brian Blessed in Space 1999... did he also appear in Blackadder? Sorry BRIAN BLESSED...

Blackadder as Richard IV
Z Cars
Arthur of the Britons
I Claudius as Augustus
Peppa Pig
Flash Gordon
Henry V as Exeter
To name a few.... I totally recommend I Claudius and Henry V
I watch multiple episodes of Peppa Pig daily. Didn't even realise I was in the presence of BRIAN BLESSED
Aha. A miniature locomotive indeed... Thanks 8th...

It's a bit obvious, but I'd really like to see him as Falstaff.
He was pretty good in Four Weddings and a Funeral too. (He's the cause of the funeral.)

Blasphemy! Simon Callow is not BRIAN BLESSED!

Didn't he also do at least one episode of Classic Who..."The Pirate Planet"?

Although The Captain in "The Pirate Planet" did have a lot of the same mannerisms.
I APPROVE OF THIS THREAD MOST HEARTILY!!!
On inspection, it looks like a Bard can easily get into Horizon Walker after six levels. So I'm sticking with that answer. The question is, aside from Great Fortitude and Skill Focus (Perform (oratory)), what feats are worthy of BRIAN?

Exotic weapon Gnome. You need a gnome with a sharp, red, iron hat and spined armor!
