As bard subclasses don’t come with subclass spells, we’re left just looking primarily at subclass features and flavor to find the best fit for Aphrodite. However, she surprisingly works extremely well with multiple colleges, enough so that I decided to rank them from most appropriate to least, and provided a reasoning for each.

As Charisma casters with access to skill expertise, plus their reputation for being flirtatious, the Bard was ideal for Aphrodite’s skill at inflicting mortal minds with whatever passions and whims she so desires. It’s really not a surprise that Aphrodite works best as a bard. It’s just a matter of how she feels at that exact moment. She can aid, undermine, or annihilate anyone on any side of a conflict. Ultimately, I’d say she’s neither Good nor Evil, as she’s more a slave to her own whims and impulses, which sounds more Chaotic Neutral. Sune is considered Chaotic Good, and she’s the DnD counterpart to Aphrodite, which gives a valid reasoning for Aphrodite to share Sune’s alignment. If Evil means being self-serving and petty, then Chaotic Evil is where Aphrodite fits perfectly. Position of Privilege works fine for her, or you can give her the Royal Retinue, and have her attended by the Graces or the Erotes who serve her.Īphrodite is utterly Chaotic, however whether you call her Chaotic Good, Neutral, or Evil is mostly dependent on how you define the morality of DnD. Of course she’d know History, she likely lived through the event.
The best feats for Aphrodite includes: Inspiring Leader, Eldritch Adept (Mask of Many Faces), Actor, Metamagic Adept, or Fey-Touched.įor her background, I think Aphrodite works best as a Noble, for History and Persuasion. However, if that doesn’t appeal to you, Custom Lineage is the best way to play as a Celestial, plus it comes with a free feat. More importantly, the Autumnal Eladrin Elf charms nearby foes when it uses its fey step feature, which mirrors the Passion Dash boon you get from Aphrodite in Hades. As an elf, she resists charm effects, can’t be put to sleep by magic, and can just trance for 4 hours instead of sleeping, putting her closer to acting like an immortal. The best race I can think of for Aphrodite is an Eladrin Elf, specifically, an Autumnal Eladrin Elf.
Still, we’ll do our best to get as close as possible to playing as the goddess of passion. Obviously, we can’t make a perfect Aphrodite incapable of dying or that doesn’t need to eat or sleep, simply because that’s just how DnD operates.
#Dnd shatter gif how to
Like with Apollo, this is not just how to build Aphrodite, but also how to build a child of hers, such as Piper McLean, a counterpart to her, such as Sune, or a chosen champion, such as Zagreus on an Aphrodite run. This is not the first time I’ve built one of the Greek Gods, as I’ve built Apollo in the past.
