The Ulster cycle is a series of stories and tales drawn together following the legendary heroes of irish/celtic myth and legend. While all this is very interesting, i was wondering how to translate some of these legendary heroes into the pathfinder setting and system.
The ones i am most interested in are...
Scáthach, the teacher and warrior woman, also known as 'the shadow' and 'warrior maid' (my feelings lie toward the areas of brawler/fighter, given her skill as a warrior woman and a martial artist)
Cú Chulainn, resident raging badass of the ulster cycle. My opinion is that he probably might fall under the areas of bloodrager or barbarian(due to his ríastrad(or warp spasm, which leads to his rage mutating his body and causing him to inflict a brutal amount of damage). true neutral since he is honor bound as well as prone to rash actions that cause problems for himself and others.
Cathbad was a druid, but not in the D&D/Pathfinder fashion. He was more like Merlin in the Arthurian legends - advisor, magician, sage.
I would recommend the old D20 Sláine: The Roleplaying Game of Celtic Heroes. Based on the 2000AD comic Slaine.
I played a Druid that threatened to build a Wicker-man, every time somebody annoyed him.
Lots of fun, my Druid died horribly.
The Slaine setting is worth it. It has the Gaelic/Celtic culture down pat. You can take the setting and work the classes in.
I had no idea there was a d20 treatment of the 2000AD version. Thanks for the headsup 8th...

They also did Judge Dread D20.
