Making a Disney Prince DnD Party

PRINCE PHILLIP THE FAIRY KNIGHT

Race: Human Background: Noble (History, Persuasion) Class: Archfey Warlock Skills: Arcana, History, Investigation, Persuasion

There were definitely points to making Phillip a Cavalier Fighter, Ancients Paladin, or a Fey Wanderer Ranger to make Phillip a more melee-focused build, but after examining Phillip’s escape from Maleficent’s castle and his actual clash with the dragon, Phillip relied heavily on the magic of the good fairies to succeed. Flora also gives him the Enchanted Shield of Virtue and the Mighty Sword of Truth. Sounds like a textbook case of a blade pact Warlock. If you want to multiclass with him, the Cavalier Fighter or Ancients Paladin are the most compatible to mix with an Archfey Warlock. A Valor or Swords Bard could also work, giving Phillip more magic, and the chance to steal spells like Hunter’s Mark, Find Steed, Conjure Woodland Beings, or Holy Weapon that Phillip doesn’t have access to as a pure Feylock. Be sure to have Summon Fey and Conjure Fey on Phillip’s spell list so he can call the good fairies to help him in battle.

PRINCE ADAM THE BEAST WITHIN

Race: Variant Human Background: Noble (History, Persuasion) Class: Beast Barbarian Feats: Charger Skills: Athletics, History, Intimidation, Persuasion

With this build, Adam gains the ability to shift between his human and beastly form when he rages, making his beast form a byproduct of his foul temper and aggression, a very nice translation to DnD mechanics while remaining in character. His charger feat also lets Beast dash toward enemies and then attack them, imitating the hunter’s pounce of a predatory animal. If you want more mobility or to commit more to a pure beast-form, you can also build Adam as a Tabaxi to radically increase his movement speed with a furry pelt to go with it.

FLYNN RIDER THE MOST WANTED MAN

Race: Human Background: Urchin Class: Thief Rogue Skills: Deception, Investigation, Perception, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, Stealth

This one really isn’t that surprising. There is a point to be made for the Swashbuckler, as it does make use of charm, but then, so can a thief if you give them expertise in Charisma checks.

LI SHANG THE IMPERIAL GENERAL

Race: Human Background: Soldier (Athletics, Intimidation) Class: Kensei Monk Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, History, Intimidation

As a general, one could argue that he should be a Battle Master Fighter so he can implement strategy, but here’s the thing. Shang isn’t that brilliant of a commander. Every order Shang gives is pretty much the most direct, combative approach to a problem. Mulan is a tactician. Shang is a soldier. None of the other fighter types really felt like good fits for Shang either, so I went with a kensei monk, allowing Shang to study the blade as a part of his discipline.

HERCULES THE THUNDEROUS HERO

Race: Variant Human Background: Athlete (Acrobatics, Athletics) Class: Champion Fighter, Divine Soul Sorcerer Fighting Style: Unarmed or Great Weapon Fighting Feats: Tough Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Intimidation, Survival

As a Champion Fighter, Hercules can score critical hits more often, and as a Divine Soul Sorcerer, Herc can be the descendant of Zeus. While Tempest Cleric was an option, it doesn’t quite fit. Herc’s not a very bright guy, and a high wisdom score would have been out of character. Storm Sorcerer would have worked fine, but many of the features include letting Herc fly, though I suppose one could flavor that as him riding on Pegasus. But for me, the ability to make Herc the literal mechanical son of Zeus as a Divine Soul Sorcerer felt the most accurate way to build him.

If we die, we die with honour

So, I’ve listened to Mulan’s soundtrack recently and a thought struck me.

When Mulan first arrives at the camp and gives the enrolling parchment to Shang, he reads it and goes ‘Fa Zhou? That Fa Zhou?!’

I mean - the son of General Li, apparently one of the most esteemed generals in the Chinese Army (since he could also go and speak to the Emperor which I don’t think was exactly an everyday thing), the rising star among the Army’s officers, knows Mulan’s father by fame and reputation.

I’m sorry but now I just cannot unsee Shang pulling a fanboy at that famous family dinner Mulan invited him to at the end of the movie and just look with shiny eyes at Fa Zhou and be like ‘Mulan my dad told me bedtime stories about your dad he was my idol when I was a child!’

Pages from Your Day with Mulan. Could somebody tell me why Mulan is sparring with musceled version of Shang’s father?
