I though it would be fun to make an Egyptian themed barbarian. Here's a few fun things to consider if you are interested in doing something similar
- picking an actual ancient egyptian name is a good way to get started adding a little flavor to the character. XGtE and the internet are good sources
- reskinning weapons, ancient egypt didn't have the same weapons as medieval europe, for example, i renamed my great sword a khopesh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khopesh
- Think about how you character would function in egyptian society, for example, my character is part of a snake worshiping tribe, but in the lawful egyptian society, snakes were the embodiment of chaos, however, i simply took inspiration from myths Apophis (god of chaos) and got rid of the world-eating and evil bits and made a CN barbarian with some non-traditional ancient egytian flavor.
