Hi all,

I've recently watched an LP of the PS remake of Shadow of the Beast and was wondering how easy / effective the Beast (Aarbron) would be in a 5e campaign. (I'm quite aware that protagonists from fantasy games don't tend to transition that well due the stat array)

Speaking with my usual party has brought up the following as a solution.

Fighter 3 (Echo Knight) for the ability to create a shadow clone and the Twin weapon fighting to dual wield daggers reflavoured as a Bagh Nahks

Shadow Sorcerer 1 for Strength of the grave

Warlock Hexblade ? Cha based attacking. Not sure how far to take this one, as the ability to cast Mage armour for free would be awesome.

Racially I'd honestly be looking at the UA Dhamphir as that's set to be released soon. However, assuming the DM of the game allows, a flightless Gargoyle or Demon could work well too.

So I guess my question are there any options / ideas we may have overlooked?
