Welcome to the Legend Forge.
Today we're creating Castlevania's Adrian Tepes, better known as Alucard. If you have any requests for character builds or homebrew items be sure to comment below :)

The Expeditious retreat spell is my way of making him move like a bullet. It even makes sense being a dash

this was really cool, I'm playing my version of Alucard right now, it's really fun. First of all, i might be biased towards the class, but I see Alucard more as a wizard bladesinger than a fighter. Maybe not at the endgame as is your build, but i can't picture being Alucard and not having access to spells from level one. I'm gonna build him as full bladesinger, but i think a feel levels into fighter would be more appropriate as you said. I took the telekinetic feat and i think it's working great for him. I'm using the Shield spell as if it's my telekinetic sword blocking the attacks. And my dm let me homebrew the clerics spiritual weapon to a "Animate Weapon" needing a weapon as a material component and changing nothing else about the spell. It's been really fun.

Ahhh! Sounds awesome. That’s what I love about D&D, so many potential builds! Spiritual weapon as the sword is a great idea before you find “the real thing” perhaps. Love it

Thanks for the idea! The only reason I don't go through in hyper detail like that is the length of the videos. Try to always keep them under 30 mins if I can. They're a slog to edit otherwise :)

I've been thinking of an Alucard-inspired build recently. But I was thinking ranger instead of fighter. But torn between picking swarmkeeper, gloom stalker, or horizon walker for my subclass. Swarmkeeper can have the swarm flavored as summoning bats/turning parts of your body into bats, and it gets gaseous form in its spell list. Cons being that it requires a weird split between dex and wis to get the most out of the swarm abilities, and the swarm damage never getting upgraded to magical piercing damage is a problem at higher levels when enemies start to resist non-magical damage. Gloom stalker meanwhile is just fantastic all around and would be the ultimate creature of the night fantasy with stalking creatures in the darkness. And meanwhile horizon walker has the emphasis on Alucard's vampiric super speed with spells like misty step and haste in the spell list, and its bonus action force damage buff can be flavored as moving so fast your body and blade essentially become a living bullet.

If I may, then I do have a request for a character build concept: Count Dracula from Abram Stoker’s novel…or as close to it as is reasonably possible in DnD as a player character.

Why didn't you use the level up system you used for Sypha and Trevor. So is this assuming he was level 20 from Season 1.

Honestly though? He kinda was. His story was all personal growth and his only powerups from season 1 to 4 that I can really think of are items.

Yeah Michael here kind of is on the same lines that I was thinking! 😊 His abilities were always there, he just acquired some new things along the way! I guess if you wanted to play a character like him in season 1, maybe just strip it back to having the just the sword. He’s “almost” as strong as Dracula according to my research, so I thought level 20 out the gate was fair 😊

How do you make a weaker version of this character?
@nathrandirsguide
@nathrandirsguide 2 жыл бұрын
The best way to achieve that would be a Dhampir, Eldritch Knight Fighter all the way. Just like I have built, prioritise DEX for combat effectiveness, CON for that vampiric survivability, INT for spell effectiveness, CHA for Alucard's innate likability. When preparing spells, focus on buffing your attacks and, he's very famous for moving at the speed of a bullet, so movement spells too - which include making yourself very hard to hit. So spells like Misty Step, Blink, Mirror Image and Blur as I mentioned in the video. The sword could just be a magical rapier, or a Dancing Sword if you're lucky enough to find one. Cloak of the Bat or a Cloak of Displacement would be incredible for flavour leaning into his superhuman abilities. What are vampiric creatures known for? Build your character around that :) Hope that helps!

I can't help but notice you've taken a tonne of non-Abjuration and Evocation spells, despite the fact that only four can be chosen as an Eldritch Knight. Way too much homebrew on this one.

Thanks for letting me know! That is my inexperience with this class showing through, I wasn't aware of the abjuration and evocation limitations. Thankfully this isn't a build I would expect to play and is just for a bit of fun :)
