I've just recently gotten done beating Dark Souls 3 for the third time as a rather interesting character build, and am wondering if it would be possible to translate the character into D&D.
He is a Paladin of Velka the Goddess of Sin and the deity responsible for metting out punishment unto the guilty. In doing so he is equipped with Plate armor befitting a knight, a heavy steel shield, a weighty broadsword for hacking his enemies apart, and dark miracles, such as Dorhys' Gnawing, Dark Blade, Deep Protection, Lifehunt Scythe, and Vow of Silence.
Gnawing allows the user to cast a swarm of flesh eating insects at their enemies that bite into their flesh and cause bleed damage, Dark Blade allows the user to embue his weapon with the Dark as a means of boosting his attack, Deep Protection functions similarly to rage, boosting attack damage and defense, Lifehunt Scythe allows it's wielded to strike at their enemy with a dark scythe conjured out of the aether that deals damage and steals back HP for the caster, and last Vow of Silence blocks the use of any spells within it's radius.
Velka, is NOT an evil deity, rather she is arguably the only good deity, among legions of the corrupt, and it is her job to exact punishment, even upon the other gods. And so she works in secret, using the Dark as her weapon.
As for his weapons, rather than focusing on dual-wielding like my Barbarian Knight idea, he would only use it for blocking and parrying enemy attacks. Would it be possible to create such a Paladin, or to adapt those spells for D&D?
