Hi, how would you build up the Ulysses-Odysseus from the Odissey as a D&D character?

Re: Building up Ulysses from the Odissey as D&D character
There was a thread about this a few weeks back. Search for it and you'll find it.
Mastermind Rogue is also not a bad multiclass to take.

Re: Building up Ulysses from the Odissey as D&D character
It's here.
After re-reading the Odyssey, I can say that Athena's favor has a huge impact on his adventures. Many of his deceptions flat out wouldn't have worked without her help, and several times he very likely would have died whether at sea or in battle.
So, perhaps a 1-2 level dip in Cleric (Trickery) or, as suggested in the other thread, some levels in Warlock with a refluffed patron.
I'll second the Mastermind Rogue. You'd probably also want at least 6 levels of some type of fighter.

Re: Building up Ulysses from the Odissey as D&D character
was there ever a character more suited to 4e's warlord?
