Lord Flashart from Blackadder Build Help


Advice


3 people marked this as a favorite.

Hi All,

I’m working on a character for my next campaign based on Lord Flashart from Blackadder. If don’t know Blackadder go find the series and watch it STAT. =p

To create this iconic character, I settled on a Cavalier from the Order of the Cockatrice (OotC) with the Dune Drifter (DD) archetype. The OotC was a no brainer and the DD archetype seems like a good fit. Jump in shoot some stuff and yell, WOOF (with pelvic thrust)

In all, I’m happy with the concept. However, I want to make sure I’m not missing something cool or nerfing myself too much in my quest for a bit of fun. Can you guys see any glaring gaps in the stat allocation or feats?

Quick note, I went down the path of using snap shot and improved snap shot to maximize steal glory. I’m concerned that those feats are a bit weak.

Cast a sending? If word gets out I'm missing, five hundred girls will kill themselves. And I wouldn't want them on my conscience, not when they ought to be on my *face*! Hello? Cancel the state funeral, tell the king to stop blubbing, Flash is not dead! I simply ran out of juice! And before five hundred girls all go 'oh, what's the point in living any more?' I'm talking about magic! Woof! Send someone along to pick me up. General Melchett's mage will do, she hangs round with a big knob so she'll be used to a fellow like me. Woof!


I could replace snap shot and improved snap shot with critical focus and improved critical. Another option is to take a couple feat that boost melee to help in that department.

Good call.

I can also use:

Eat knuckles fritz!
Okay chums, lets dooooo it! (with pelvic trust)


And I almost forgot: So many girls and only one captain Flasheart!!.
Whooof!! (with pelvic thrust as well)


If you want gunslinger in the mix wouldent 5 levels to get dex to Dam be worth it? Or am i missing somthing?

Ranks in Fly
Possibly Perform (innuendo)

Lord Flasheart: All right men, let's do-oo-oo it! The first thing to remember is: always treat your kite like you treat your woman!

Lieutenant George: How, how do you mean, Sir? Do you mean, do you mean take her home at weekends to meet your mother?

Lord Flasheart: No, I mean get inside her five times a day and take her to heaven and back.

Captain Blackadder: I'm beginning to see why the suffragette movement want the vote.

Lord Flasheart: Hey! Any girl who wants to chain herself to *my* railings and suffer a jet movement gets *my* vote!

Really, the mechanics in this case don't really matter so long as there is something that keys off Charisma as a primary or important secondary ability score.
