The starting "Ranger" class pick is actually VERY lore accurate. In the canon prequel series "Goblin Slayer: Year One' when he first signs up and is filling out his registration sheet...which is pretty much his Character Sheet by DnD standards, the new to the town guild at the time Guild Girl notes that he has "1 in Ranger, 1 in Fighter, and.." the third is left unknown but given he was trained by a Rhea (Hobbit) named "Burgler" (obvious LOTR reference) it's likely he has 1 in Rogue as well, especially since he CAN use a lock pick but he's not the best at it, stating it's not his main class.

DID SOMEONE SAY, GOOOOOOOOBBBLLIIIIIIIIIINNNNSSSSSS!?

People sleep on Tavern Brawler but depending on the build its really useful. You can also use Dead Goblins as a weapon.

I made a character similar to this for Baldurs Gate 3, played them as a ranger with similar stats, but relied heavily on consumable tools and weapons. Throwing poisons, potions, using scrolls, every bomb I could find, and looting an enemy to chuck their weapons at other enemies. It was a ton of fun, especially when I got to the point where I had multiple actions

Very nice build. I like your reasoning for choosing features over others. Great work!

I'd love to see Ghost Rider done. He's always been my favorite super hero.

Isn’t Goblin Slayer using a short sword? A finesse weapon? Most of his options that I remember are weapons that can be used with dexterity.

Honestly, Goblin Slayer spends a LOT of time learning about the world and tactics and such and even underhanded stuff. I'd almost argue that multiclassing the last 4 levels into Rogue for sneak attack, expertise, and some others would be good. He is very pragmatic and takes every piece of information he gains in order to maximize his abilities to killing a goblin. Different tactics for different encounters. (EDIT:) I still very much like this build. I thought of the rogue add-on because I believe they call his weapon a short sword, at one point, so finesse sneak attacks wouldn't be put of the question (with some stat changes). Overall, this is a very solid ranger build. Love it.

No intelligence is crazy he’s incredibly smart. He’s a great leader and comes up with many smart ideas throughout the series

It's finally here!!! Thank you so much.

You didn’t just make a Goblin Slayer Build just when I wanted a Goblin Slayer Build? Thank you! 🥲

This is a great build for Gobkin Slayer. Most builds i have seen of him had Barbarian in them and i never saw the point of it since he wears armor.

As always, an amazing video. I'd love to see Eren from Attack on Titan. I always thought he'd be a Monk that can utilize some Enlarge/Reduce stacking stuff.

Absolutely Perfect, Congratulations⚔️

yep thats pretty much what I did in my campaign but he was more fighter than ranger cause big man never casts his own spells in the anime, I also had some levels in rogue/ scout for the expertise and extra damage

I just want to play this to terrorize people who think goblins are cute.

Great build! I would honestly make the build a bit more efficient by focusing on Dexterity more than Strength, not dump it, but have it at decent level. Focusing on Finesse Melee Weapons and Range Attacks would increase the effectiveness of your attacks and actually get your AC to that peak point quicker. I would use Medium Master for like a Feat during the level ups, and take as your first Feat (Variant Human), Crossbow Expert to be able to switch between weapons easily. I would also take those final 4 levels for Rogue (either Assassin to take advantage of surprise and stronger Sneak Attack or Inquisitive to lean into the investigative and tactical fighter he is)

Awesome 👍🏻, i wish Baulders gate went to lvl20 so we could try this. Hoping to see some dragonborn builds. I came up with one that uses giant path barbarian to make Agnologia

I could see him as a Mark of finding human Mark of Finding If your Human has the Mark of Finding, replace all Racial Traits found in the Player's Handbook with these, except for Age, Alignment, Size, and Speed. Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1. Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60ft. of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern colors in darkness, only shades of grey. Hunter's Intuition. Whenever you make a Wisdom (Perception) or a Wisdom (Survival) check, you can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the total ability check. Finder's Magic. You can cast the Hunter's Mark spell with this trait. Starting at 3rd level, you can also cast the Locate Object spell with it. Once you cast either spell with this trait, you can't cast that spell again until you finish a Long Rest. Wisdom is your Spellcasting Ability for these spells. Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Goblin. Spells of the Mark. If you have the Spellcasting or Pact Magic class feature, the spells on the Mark of Finding Spells table are added to the spell list of your Spellcasting class. Mark of Finding Spells Spell Level Spell 1st Faerie Fire, Longstrider 2nd Locate Animals or Plants, Locate Object 3rd Clairvoyance, Speak With Plants 4th Divination, Locate Creature 5th Commune With Nature It grants some neat bonuses and a free use of hunters mark a day, sure your feat progression is slowed but it’s far from the worst.

This is a pretty solid build. His other favorite enemies should be like troll or ogre or hobgoblin because in the anime it does show that those creatures run with goblins and he has to fight them. If I'm not mistaken, he even shows proficiency in knowing about some of the creatures.

Great Vid!!! I’d love to see a Castlevania build on the future

Fighter is also a good pick. Maybe there is a feat that gives you a favored enemy? Because GS doesn’t really use magic.

Btw if anyone is interested Goblin Slayer actually has his own TRPG. Main edition + 2 supplements so far I think. However not sure if it was translated into english yet. As for choosing ranger as a class, it is fairly fitting, since in manga (both primary and spinoffs) other parties usually employ him when they are looking for someone who would fill mainly "scout" role. Furthermore multiclassing into fighter seems very lore friendly. Loved the "so screw that option". Thanks for nice video and interesting build that I will definitely try out.

Great work! I’d love to see a build based on Dr. Stone (Anime) or the protagonist from The Dungeon Black Company. The former you could focus on all the things an artificer can make not just class features. The latter is a dead ringer for an eloquence bard IMO.

seeing u reach lv10 ranger + showing the goblin slayer desperate moment, i thought u gonna do berserker barbarian in multi class XD but ye very nice build overall

Could we have a Turok build sometime?

He's straight up a Fighter, specifically a Scout archetype fighter. He doesn't cast spells outside scrolls and it still gives him huge advantages that ranger gives. Also, it's clear he uses Second wind to cheat death by the skin of his nose during one of the sewer fights during the sword maiden arch

The Grudge Bearer feat gives you a superior version of Favored Enemy vs. two kinds of creatures

11:38 Oh boy! Action surge...

You know this would be a very fun build to play with if the DM plays along with your focus and gives you he goblin hordes you wanna fight against. Really, if more DMs played along with what their players want to do rather than put them on more generic settings without flexibility, Rangers would be used way more often.

This is great! I want to use this when I play. Thank you. Whenever you get a chance, please do a build for Albedo. I can’t wait to see what you put together for her. Like is she a fallen angel or a feather winged teifling?

I'd take resilient con over tavern brawler. It's the same bonus but far more practical. (surviving goblin poison, for instance) Plus some of those ranger spells may be concentration.

Hey there, great video. I was wondering if you might look into statting a character a little off the beaten path. A book character named, 'Odd Thomas.' He's not a super well known character, and you kinda have to read the books to find out what all he can do, but I think he'd be really fun to play in DND and I'm not super sure how to stat him myself

Yeaaaa❤

Awesome build. You should do either Kazuma from konosuba, or Yuta Okkotsu from jujutsu kaisen next

Skull knight from Berserk when? Great video btw.

The best tank i ever made was a satyr battlemind from 4th edition. I cant remember my base AC by 20th.. i think it was 32? My character was able to solo the BBEG's entire bodyguard retinue while the rest of my party fought the boss. That dude was *THE immovable object*

the doom soundtrack is really fitting xd and i think i would have multiclassed into barbarian

You can build him better in 3.5. Favored enemy adds damage and can be taken against the same enemy multiple times and bonus stacks.

I'm really surprised none of the goblin slayer builds I've seen have used the Sentinel feat. - impale that pesky goblin that jumped the poor newby next to you (reaction attack when an enemy attacks someone adjacent to you) - cut the legs off any goblin who dares try to escape your wrath (goblins in d&d can disengage as a bonus action, so being able to ignore that AND stop their movement is paramount)

I would grab the tough feat at level one with 16 STR 14 wis 14 dexterity 12 con 10 int 8 chr and go hunter all the way

Who cares about anything but goblins? Well obviously Hobgoblins are just as much a menace to society but bigger!

Another perfect portrayal all the way down to tavern brawler.

Put in a it bit of Rogue Class because in Volume 4 and 7 of the Novels we found out he was trained as a Burglar By his master

Holy heck this only came out 3 hours ago what the heck I searched for this just now.

A nice build. How would you build assassin Shuten-douji from Fate grand order?

I feel like gloomstalker would fit just as well as hunter since goblin slayer tends to use ambush and preparation and spends a lot of tine in the underground tonnels and caves

Sweet build FYI, repost is french: it's pronounced re-po-say

its been a month..did somebody actually made this build to an actual dnd game..??? like to hear it..thanks

I think changing one of the fighting styles to thrown weapon fighting would be more accurate. Goblin slayer loves just chucking the weapons hes picked up along the way, otherwise i think that the use of ranger for his "spells" was very clever.

Goblin slayer is awesome. I wonder how you'd build baki hanma from the baki anime on netflix

could you do Allen walker from dgray man also love your builds

can you make ball cranel from danmachi as a fighter pls

Only thing I'd do different is get agi to 16 quicker. You said one of your first abilities taken was dependent on agi of at least 16, then wait a good while to get there making the point of that abilities a bit pointless.

Do you think you could do Esdeath from Akame Ga Kill that would be pretty cool

I would go with: Strength - 13 = [+1] Dexterity - 15 +1 = [+3] Constitution - 13 +1 = [+2] Intelligence - 12 = [+1] Wisdom - 12 = [+1] Charisma - 8 = [-1]

Day 5 of asking for Nami from One Piece

I would like to request Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho

Asking for a "Zato 1" build, 2 months in the making

I know this may get buried but I love this game, can you do Justia Edelfelt from Browndust 2?

So I like this idea, but I might suggest a few changes in the way you level. Levels 1 to 5: Hunter ranger. Feats are medium armor master at 1, and shield master at 4, giving him a variety of techniques to use. 16 dex is more than enough for now. Then, we swap to battle master fighter to 3. Your fighting styles will be dueling and archery. This way, you get maneuvers, multiple fighting styles, and two attacks. This turns into a very versatile goblin hunter which is what he is. If you want the level 6 ranger features before BM fighter, that works too. Since most games dont go beyond 10 anyways, grabbing the bm levels early increases your versatility early on, and let's you see what this character truly is about. Fantastic concept though. I'm definitely making this character.

Can you build Gerald from Witcher?

I'm curious to see how you would translate someone like the Monkey King Sun Wukong from Journey to the West into D&D.

do a sukuna one next

Please do one for Sally from Bofuri

Considering how much GS fighting style relies on planning ahead to outsmart the enemy and figuring out creative solutions to the problems and unexpected situations he faces, only 8 intelligence seems too low imo

The other Foe would be Hobgoblins, that covers the larger ones from the anime.

Goblin Slayer (the setting I mean, not the character) kinda borrows some cues from Tucker's Kobolds.

9:20 would i be able to flavor this and say he's "mastered moves at blinding speed" instead of the character being actually invisible

ok you have done a lot of characters that i didn't think could be done , so how about Boxxo from Reborn As A Vending Machine, I Now Wander The Dungeon

Sebastian from Overlord please

Can you build Sakata gintoki from gintama?

Use standard array instead of point buy Strength 14 Dex 15 Con 13 Wisdom 12 Intelligence 10 Charisma 8 Add the +1 to Dex and con then upgrade wisdom at level 4 to hit multiclassing requirements

Would really like to see a build of Fran from Reincarnated as a Sword.

day 10 of asking for Tsuna from Hitman Reborn in DnD

The goblin King.

Is it possible to add more intelligence and less charisma? Because goblin slayer was looked down upon for, even beginner adventurers look down on him at the start. It wasn't until he had his group that people started to realize he was useful. Amazing vid tho, would love to see more, keep it up.

wouldn't it be more fitting choosing the throwing weapon fighting-style?

Make a build for Lion Sin Escanor 🤞🤞🤞

what about when he’s fighting hobgoblins or goblin champions?

I would put 1 leven in barbarian cause he enter in rage sometimes

Can you make Tsubaki from soul eater?

I know you've already done a couple DBZ videos, but could there be a Krillin build sometime down the line? Definitely one of my favorite characters, but for now I'm just settling on using your Goku build with minor modifications, like using Mr. Popo as the patron for the Archfey warlock subclass, to make it seem more lore accurate during the training arc of the Sayain Saga (or DBZ: Abridged's Popo for the RP memes).

i honestly think he would be a monster hunter, but ranger does work too,

Hilariously the Author of Goblin Slayer used to be a DnD player. The entire Goblin Slayer universe is a Grimdark themed DnD Homebrewed Camaign, seriously. Goblin Slayer is DnD the anime.

I would have sneaked sentinel somewhere maybe instead of tavern. My reasoning: Goblin don t escape goblin slayer and they can take the disengage action with a bonus. But with sentinel you coud still attack them, making you feel truly specialized

Make chrono: chrono trigger Pantro,lion etc: thundercats Cosmic garou: one punch man

Probably worth mentioning but, there are multiple types of goblins to select for your favored enemy (hob-goblins, bugbears, worgs, etc)

Goblins are Goblinoid. Because there are other races that fall under Goblinoid, such as hobgoblin and bugbear

I agree hunter ranger but my build Human variant medium armor master 13 hunter ranger 7 Paladin vengeance

I would've added Rogue levels.

Tsunade senju.

have tj swxomd favored humanoid enemy be hobgoblins... good reflection of the elite goblins in the show.. They're just bigger goblins.

I can’t seem to be able to choose deft explorer

i thought in 5e you can't have more than one Fighting Style?

Step 1: Use 2nd or 3rd edition. Alternatives like Pathfinder 1e and HackMaster 5e are also good. Step 2: Follow Step 1 and stick to it. It doesn't matter how much someone wants a player coddling edition. Step 3: Be prepared to be realistic and make sure that your players can handle the grit. Step 4: Toss out those who are "easily offended" They are not worth having around. Step 5: Have a super kick ass campaign that your players will talk about for years. Step 6: Bathe in glory.

We could just ask them 😅

GAWWWWWWBLINSSSSSSS
