So, I want to play a character whose sole goal in life is to become so strong he can punch a mountain down, and his ultimate aim is to wrestle a dragon into submission. Big, and beefy.
So I've picked that he's a Goliath and that he fights without armour or weapons. However monk seems quite lacklustre for grappler type characters.
My DM is absolutely fine with me doing something like a monk who uses STR instead of DEX for monk checks (think muscle wizard). Monk makes the most sense in terms of the unarmed and unarmoured aspects, but then fighter and barbarian both look pretty appealing for it.
Any ideas?
Look up the Pugilist homebrew class - should be exactly what you're looking for! It's like a monk that runs on STR, and has lots of bonuses to grappling and the like.
YES. Let's fucking throw some hoes.
OK, so the character is come together.
He is named Dun-Beru Bearthrower. He speaks in true, manly Soviet accent at all times. His missions in life are three: to suplex a dragon, to level a mountain with one punch, and to become the strongest in all the land.
One of our other players is running an orc bard who uses bodybuilding poses to give inspiration (yes, it's one of THOSE campaigns). So I expect to be using my reaction to counter pose at him a lot. YES MUSCLE
