Saul and Barnabus made their way unto the temple. There they saw the likeness of a man and before him he bore a proclamation. "Go hence to Tyre where their people have constructed an idol. An abomination that surely will bring iniquity upon thy generation even as unto they children and to the dust under thy feet". And when they heard this they were sorely shook for they were tired from their solemn ablutions and Tyre was a journey if many days and nights.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

Tomfoolery

Hi, I am essentially trying to make a Jesus like character in DnD, I want to convert people to my beliefs (Was thinking Lawful Good or Chaotic Good)

I was wondering what the best class choice would be? I wanted to go a cleric with High Charisma and try and bluff and persuade others into believing in my cause, OR a Transmutation focused wizard (turn water into wine ect)

Does anyone have any experience with making such a character?

EDIT: We are only using Core Rulebook for Character creation and I'll be finalizing my character on the day, so far I have had some wonderful ideas thrown my way and will definitely be incorporating as much as possible

Tomfoolery

Interesting concept. Some initial thoughts: Jesus was a teacher. Everywhere he went people referred to him as such. He should have a high wisdom and high intelligence. Those should be his highest stats probably.

Jesus was a healer. While he had many followers who were truly devoted to him and his teachings, many people followed because he could heal them and because he could provide them food (loaves and fishes). This also means he was likely a pacifist. He healed the roman solider's ear when Peter tried to fight the mob off that came to arrest Jesus.

Jesus was good. He didn't care much for tradition that is for certain (he called out the Pharisees' hypocrisy several times), but he also said "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's." He didn't willfully disobey the law. I would put him at NG.

Jesus was a loner. There are many examples when he "left the multitude" seeking solitude. Keep this in mind. He was likely what we would call an introvert today. In that regard, I would actually not give him a very high charisma. He was persuasive yes but it was really his teachings that were persuasive--his argument--not his presence and charm.

If I had to hazard a concept I would say NG protector aasimar Life Cleric who uses misdirection, buffing, and control rather than a weapon in combat. Has a background in craftsmanship (Joseph was a carpenter) with persuasion and medicine as skills. Stats (using standard array): S 12 D 8 C 13 I 14 W 16 Ch 12

Tomfoolery

First, I'm a Christian (and a pastor), so this is sailing pretty close to the wind for me, but I'll roll with it. As far as I'm concerned, he is God, and since when do we let players control gods? But if you seriously want to make a Jesus-like PC as he's presented in the Bible (and if you don't want to reference from the Bible, you're pulling stuff out of your butt so do what you like)...

I can see where you're coming from with aasimar with the whole celestial thing. I still think human, but I'll grant aasimar.

No idea where you get Paladin from given he was a pacifist (turning a few tables over does not a Paladin make - maybe you want Paladin St Peter, he cut off a guy's ear). Given Jesus was a rabbi, I think cleric.

Carpenter/builder, so artisan background.

As for stats, CHA>WIS>INT>CON>DEX>STR. Con could be up there, he fasted for 40 days after all, but wis works and gets your clerical bonuses. Dex and strength are a toss up, but I see what you're doing there with the carpentry. Given he's a pacifist, it's not like he's going to go around bashing things.

This one's going to be more RP than combat focused.

I think the reason why Jesus didn't chop dudes is because he was the brains of the operation. He could leagve the muscle to guys like St. Paul to put the hurt on creeps. Really he's like the King in chess and I guess Checkmate is kind of like the Crucifixion. I haven't really thought it through though.

"wanna hear something wild, young ones? every day is a bible adventure, because this book chronicles the speaking man, before the rise of ape to his rightful place as master and lord over such a sinful beast. it was the law before the lawgiver, a foolish tale for a now cursed folk."

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

Revving your dirtbike, you nervously looked at the oncoming executioners furious with your disturbance of the crucifixion. You felt a tap on your shoulder and looked behind you

Jesus looked at you and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” and pointed to a ramp that you had not seen beforehand.

"Thank you, Jesus." you replied with gratitude, getting ready to hit that loving sweet jump
