"We're focusing on charisma, we want to be a spellcaster, so we're obviously a warlock or a sorcerer..." Bards sitting in the corner, wondering why they weren't a consideration....

Warlock/Rogue would be a better build. His Thieves' Guild has a patron, so it fits better. With Warlock, Talisman gives him his well-known luck and the Archfey's Fey Presence would explain his Charisma; Eldritch Blast would be a decent stand-in for his cards. Max this out at 4th level (he doesn't need a lot of magical abilities unless you want to up the damage of his missiles, but just add invocations for that). On the rogue side, the swashbuckler is the best fit. It makes him a very slippery character, which fits his character pretty well. Just up his Charisma and Dex as he goes up in level and you're golden.

The Draconic Bloodline really captures that Cajun spice! Wait..I'm thinking about the seasoning. 🤣🤣 Cool build!

Cartomancers hidden ace works with any spell in your spell lists, you don't even need to be able to cast it. You can take a one level dip into wizard, get cartomancer, and have access to bonus action fireballs for big damage, or bonus action wishes for the power of friendship

Outstanding. I never would have guessed sorcerer for Gambit. However, this is just me. But I would buid Remy LeBeau as a Bard with a few levels of swashbuckler rogue for his theif skills. Also, Gambit does have the mutant ability called charm so you can't miss that.

This is actually really good, I love it

Thank you. This video could not have come at a better time. I am going to pull several inspirations from this. Two sessions in. I didn't go sorcerer, but Order of the Scribes Wizard. I like making my spellbook a deck of cards. I am going to take spell sniper. My magic missile and catapult spells can change damage types. Firebolt flavored as throwing flaming cards as a cantrip. Again, perfect timing.

Can you do Lucifer Morningstar from the show "Lucifer" to show how to build a character with a Persuasion or Deception to get what he wants from people's desire. 😈

Okay as a gambit fan since i was a kid id say he is not a caster and specially not a glassy one, sure he throws cards but its not all he does Best subclass? Soul knife rogue

Taking magic initiate/ritual caster Druid or a level dip into Druid for Shillelagh could also work making that quaterstaff a bit better.

Psionics work well for Gambit with psychokinetic energy being transfered into objects to explode.

Rather then the last 3 levels of sorcerer maybe throw in some fighter levels for the sake of action surge

If I was making Gambit I would prioritize Stats like Dex - Wis- Chr(13+)- Con- Int (Dump) & Str(dump). Criminal Background. Custom Lineage. Feat- Magic Initiatite (Warlock) (W/ the cantrips Booming Blade & Eldritch Blast). First 5 or 6 levels - Monk (drunken for the amount of defense it gives). After that take levels of Rogue (Thief) (Expertise in Perception and Stealth) and Sorcerer (Any subclass- we just want the sorcerer points to modify the cantrips/spells) and if you want Warlock (Any subclass you want, we just want the invocations -Agonizing Blast specifically, but others could be useful too). Other feat(s) to get would be PoleArm Master and possibly Shadow Touched and Alert/Observant/Lucky, but I would concentrate on maxing out your Dex and Wis and depending on what you rolled increasing your Chr and Con to AT LEAST 16 (each). This would better represent his ability -IMO...

I would pick 1 level in hexblade just to be able to attack with the staff using Charisma, but i'm happy with what you did. Now i have a good base play Gambit myself. : )

I do love Gambit! Nice build, but I think he's got to have Swashbuckler levels. If there's a solid way to make a "blasty" Bard, I think that'd be a good mix. Howzabout Magick (Illyana Rasputin) next?

This build was awesome!!! Can you do Hak Foo from Jackie Chan Adventures?

Okay. I'm working on a Variant Human Sorcerer myself. With the free feat, Spell Sniper, taking Eldritch Blast. As well as the same background. A weird coincidence I know. I just picked Aberrant Mind instead of Draconic Bloodline. For Cantrips I picked, Firebolt, Shape Water, Mage Hand, and Minor Illusion. Or Prestidigitation instead of Minor Illusion if I didn't want the Cartomancer Feat or I could stick with Minor Illusion and go with something like Lucky or Fey Touched. Okay now that I think about it, I could just take Eldritch Adept for Agonizing Blast. In terms of first level spells, I was hoping you could help with some ideas.

Hey, are you planning for a Nami or Nico Robin Build? 'Cause I have Ideas for building them in DND.

Idk if this is where i ask but could u do Sebastian from black butler I've had a few thoughts about making him a skill monkey but he loses attack potency or if u go to much into damage a he not one hell of a butler so was wondering if i was missing something and if u guys could take a stab at it

Can you make cid kagenou from 'the eminence in shadow' please

Could you also do a Nightcrawler build

The list of characters I wouldn't mind seeing is still pretty short: Ryuji or Yusuke from Persona 5, or Akito from Ghostwire Tokyo.

Created by The Great Jim Lee. Overall, I like it very much. 2 things to note that I would have embellished upon: 1. The thief aspect. 2. Remy goes to Mr. Sinister to downsize his powers after defeating his fiancée's brother.

How to build a Transformer in DND (Soundwave, Shockwave, or Thundercracker)

Alright!, rather than a full 20 levels in Sorc, I would only do 12 as Sorcerer and 8 levels Monk. This gives full ASI but also really decent Martial ability.

I would probably multiclass him with level 5 thief because before joining the X-Men, that is what he was.

Here a stupid idea... Just make the psyblade rogue and just convert the psychic to Force damage. So you can have the "throwing" boom blade like cards.

Can you perhaps make Kakuzu from Naruto? Or all the members of Akatsuki?

I can't thank you enough for bringing the Ragin' Cajun to life.😁 Agree with the class and speells of your choice. I would pic criminal background instead, as he is a master thief. Tempted with magic initiated for some bard tricks or even better...Shillelagh, howeber can't choose druid with this feat😅. Alternative multiclass: Just one level dip pact of the blade Hexblade warlock. For the Hex Warrior feature, the Eldritch Blast and the cool extentive Quarterstaff as a summoned weapon.

I was certain he would go with soulknife rogue

Man Made Mythology and Mutants & Masterminds both exist in the 3e OGL and literally have these exact powers statted out for the traditional D&D six stats, and the three saves of 3e+.

Have you done colossus?

You planning on a Nightcrawler build?

I'd have dipped into Rogue and/or Fighter for combat options. Also, use a feat to grab Invocations for boosting the Eldritch Blast.

I was waiting for this my whole life

Could you do a Cole Cassidy build from overwatch 2?

7:10 this doesn't double the doubled distance.. it doubles the base. Your casting distance is still it's base so it's additive

Honesty a sword bard/soulknife rogue muticlass would make more senses

How do you get Eldritch Blast without being a Warlock?

I would’ve used eldritch adept feat and got extra damage on eldritch blast

*startle* sorry I'm not used to see DnD builds video that uses sorcerer

Hopefully this could be adapted into Setzer Gabbiani from Final Fantasy 6. *Draconic bloodline* Orrrrr not... Also, infuse non organic material? But cards are made of paper material and thus are organic.

“Remember it.”

Can you build cyclops

I'd love to see your takes on Slash (TMNT 2012) or Taskmaster (Marvel comics).

RIP Gambit.

What's cartomancer? What book is it from?

Gambit has never insulted anyone better than Gambit with that outfit.

I think those last 5 levels should've gone into a martial class to build his melee skills

Probably needs a level of Rogue.

I think you need to decide what his card attacks are. Are they physical, like a dart? Or are they pure energy? Eldritch Blast is a great choice, but then stick with that. His energy is force damage. Focus on spells that do force damage and you'll be fine. If you want more explosive or fiery damage (due to the saturation of kinetic energy), then stick to Scorching Rays and Fireball. (Heck, melf's miniature meteors is a great card approximation) Haste, Freedom of Movement are great spells for a Gambit-type. He's a thief, after all. I would have gone with either rogue levels or criminal background. Or both, maybe both. Use the magic initiate feat for cantrips or first level spells not on your list. And that list should be Bard. Sorry, but Remy is a bard. Maybe even an eloquence bard, but swords/valor stand out for the weapon training. Use your magical secrets for more non-bard spells that fit your energy type (force or fire).

How bout doing highlander there can be only one

I think you'd have gotten some more character depth beyond the mutant power if you'd multiclassed to Rogue (Thief) -- since Gambit's background has him as a member of the Thieves Guild. I think one thing that was also neglected was that Gambit is considered one of the best hand-to-hand/martial artists of the Marvel Universe (even moreso among the X-Men -- he's shown to be Wolverine's equal or better), I think I'd have gone 10 Sorcerer / 7 Rogue / 3 Fighter. That's enough Sorceror to get a strong foundation in Eldritch Blast plus Metamagic. Enough Rogue to get Thieves Cant, Cunning Action, Uncanny Dodge, and Evasion -- all of which fit really nicely. As for the fighter levels -- since we're using Eldritch Blast to represent the cards (mostly), I'm going to use the Fighter skills to represent his staff work -- so for the fighting style I would either go Dueling or Close Quarters Shooter (rather than Thrown Weapon). Action surge is always nice to have and for the Martial Archetype, I'd go Psychic Warrior (mostly to get Augmented Defenses and Strikes).

Could you make Blade?

I feel like warlock works better for him deffinetly with his past in the thieves guild.

I would trade out some levels of sorcerer for level of rogue. Gambit was a thief.

Remember it. ~_~

This guy has a really good narrator voice. He should not even include his extra normal looking face in the video. It takes away from the voice quality. Which is high.

This, this is why I play Old School Essentials. Why not make an original character?

Day 8 of asking for uncle Iroh

Cartomancer, while thematic and fitting the character build, is a horribly written feat. If a DM allows this to cast a second 9th lvl spell, (even worse with a 1 level multi-class dip from any other full spell caster) as a bonus action without using a spell slot, then you’ve already broken the game. There is no sage advice on the feat, (So far) but I had to ban it from my game to keep my players from destroying the game. Every table and game is different, I get that, but this can make every other player irrelevant at times, even in tier 2 play. I really dislike this feat, a lot. Sorry, rant over. I really thought this would have some rogue or bard mixed in with warlock to capture the non spell casting parts of what Gambit is. It’s nice to see other examples though.

My first instinct is to pick soul knife rogue and flavour your psi blades as cards.
