Request for Chef Gordon Ramsay

[KingEcl]

I've had a few ideas for making the chef in DDO, but I've yet to find something that feels right. I don't know all that's possible. Here's what we know about Gordon Ramsay:

-He's a chef, which requires dexterity
-He's probably lawful neutral because he's committed to a high professional standard but he's often cruel to be kind
-He uses cleavers and knives (even throws them in Kitchen Nightmares intro)
-He has a black belt in martial arts
-His only armor is a chef's uniform and an apron, so light/clothing
-He has the charisma to lead people, star in TV shows, and give cutting insults
-In his shows, he's willing to handle rotten/moldy food, rats and cockroaches with his hands, but the smell makes him gag
-Substandard food makes him gag
-Occasionally he prays not to die of food poisoning

He could use a khopesh and (cutting) board, daggers, throwing knives, or maybe fists. Longswords might even get a pass. There's not a cooking aspect but there is the legendary feast spell, and maybe healing/buffs could be interpreted as cooking. Not sure about that one.

Anyway, any input is deeply appreciated.

Ha! Thanks for the equip suggestions.

I feel like, since Ramsey is primarily an entertainer, a VKF Bard/barbarian multiclass would suit. Or, ditch the VKF and use hand axes.

There's gotta be some Swashbuckler in there, no doubt - it's by far the best fit for what you have listed here. I would probably just go pure Bard, since I can't really see any other classes fitting well with the theme. You also get Heroes' Feast by going this route.

I can't think of any apron cosmetics, but the White Dragonscale Armor is probably the closest you'll find to the classic white chef's outfit. I wouldn't wear a hat on this build, because the hair is much easier to get right.



Here's a couple funny shield options:

Crabshell_Buckler


Giant's Platter


Weapons just have too many options for me to search through right now, but the already-mentioned Cleaver seems like a solid choice:

Unkor's Cleaver


Sheridan's Wrack


Guardian of the Liturgy


Good luck!

Thanks to both of you. I wouldn't have thought of the white dragonscale, FuryFlash. Bard's seeming pretty appropriate.
