"He's not charming, he's just hot" 10/10 meta-knowledge

He's not charming, he's just hot. G- you smell great Y- Geralt we're at a funeral G- you smell great at this funeral

"Your low charisma could hurt you when you're trying to get paid or not get Banished." Geralt: I hate portals.

A message to those who wish to play geralt: I'm totally okay with it, many are not I am. But please. Come up with a backstory, and remember it is a game about a party of adventurers. Even Geralt ends up several times in a party. Think on that.

"I'm not gonna use blood hunter because it's technically homebrew and I'm sticking to official content." That's fair.

Directions confused: Horse on roof.

Has he done how to play Ron Swanson? If not we need to let him know that Ron is the character we need and the one we deserve.

Farmer: My whole family has been massacred by a filthy beast... my life is ruined because that monster ate all my food for the winter... my only wish is to die so I can stay once again with my beloved wife and son. Geralt: Wanna play Gwent? Farmer: sure yea

Ah, the long awaited Geralt. Now that you've done this one the most wanted build is most definitely Anderson Cooper! Give 'em what they want!

I love that when you mention homebrew, you do it in such a positive way that doesn't detract from Matt and the other more popular creators, but instead mentions the smaller ones trying to make a name out there in what became a saturated field, but does not mean any less talent and creativity. We are in a great time to be players and GMs and to have so many people pushing content out. Mad respect for supporting everyone.

"I'm not using matt's bloodhunter" You had my interest, now you have my attention. Overall what you saying is the truth, if one piece of homebrew why not all the homebrew.

There's some irony in the race beeing the "WIldhunt" shifter

Me: *Finishes The Witcher series on Netflix two days ago* Tulok: *Uploads guide to play Witcher in D&D* Me: …Hm.

Who else just watches these videos to get ideas for DnD characters even though they’ve never played DnD and don’t have anyone to play it with? ...just me? T_T

It's almost like they knew Ranger was lacking and went out of their way with the new UA to fix it. Odd...

re-watching this in august of 2020 hears " I am really looking forward to DMing again now that we are in the new year" *almost spits drink* I remember looking forward to things.

I don't know what I'd want to see more - a party of Tulok's Geralt, Alucard, Trevor Belmont, Jonathan Joestar, Van Hellsing and Guts in Curse of Stradh, or a party of Tulok's various Rangers - Geralt, Kratos, Link...

"Toss a coin to your Content Creator, oh valley of plenty"

Tulok: *disses bards* Bards: "Toss a coin to your Witcher and a pan at this man's head."

I really appreciate you making a "drinking game" family friendly by just making it water and saying you will get "super hydrated". I literally never heard someone say that before before you tulok

Nice build honestly I thought you would use the Monster Slayer Archetype from Ranger.

Great work Tulok! I’ve been looking forward to this build.

THANK YOU! You guys listened to the comments asking for Geralt. Awesome.

My buddy was trying to make this. I'm glad I found this so I can help him out with it. This is an amazing guide! Thanks Tulok

* tulok putting new ranger ua to work * "oh yeah, it's all coming together."

>0:18 "loathed in the fictional world" > gets more play than a Street Fighter cabinet

Always wanted to play him! You captured him perfectly

I was actually looking for this, thinking you'd already have made Geralt. I'm really happy it's here!

Damn the show's action looks really good

Gerold of Rivia also known as “Hides-His-Pain”.

Been waiting awhile for this one. Great build!

At first I was sort of set off when you said you weren't going to use blood hunter but your small talk about smaller creators made a lot of sense, serious respect for doing that

Alright alright. Time to go hardcore: Ainz from Overlord.

Just finished the tv show def gonna be playing him

Happy 2020 Tulok! Love this build!

Yes! I asked for this video a few weeks ago but i thought it got brushed over cuz there wasn’t any response. I’m so glad this got made anyway, definitely going to play a Witcher build in my next campaign

Here's my Version. I didn't want to dump Charisma, especially when we can get two spell classes that use it. Charisma isn't just talking well or being charming. Intimidation, Persuasion and Deception are all based on charisma as well. Anyone who can lock themselves alone with a king in his chamber, accuse them of sleeping with their sister and then having her killed and live to tell about it is all kinds of charismatic. We dump INT but bump it with an ASI I suggest using point buy for this one but if you are going standard: 15 Strength 10 Dexterity 14 Constitution 8 Intelligence 13 Wisdom 12 Charisma Variant Aasimar 2 charisma 1 wisdom ability increase darkvision resistance to necrotic and radiant damage (yep, you're a witcher 'arry) speak celestrial (elder speech) Celestrial Legacy: know the light cantrip. *1st (baby's first igni), Lesser Restoration *5th (heals you or an ally from the blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned condition once per long rest.) and Daylight *7th (idk, call this quen for vampires maybe?) Background: Folk Hero Skill Proficiencies in land vehicles, Survival and one other skill (Arcana, Medicine or Nature could work here but I went with History) Artisans Tool proficiency - Alchemists Supplies. Equipment Chain Mail 2 Matial Weapons - Take 2 Great Swords and silver one as soon as you can afford it. Light Crossbow and 20 bolts - swap this for a hand crossbow as soon as you can. A set of Alchemists Supplies Leve1 1 - Fighter Take Animal Handling and Athletics. Take Great Weapon Fighting Second Wind Level 2 Fighter Action Surge Level 3 Figher Eldrich Knight Weapon Bond (bond with your swords) Take firebolt (igni) and gust (yrden) for your first two cantrips Take Thunderwave (aard) Shield (quen) and charm person (axii) as your first three spells Level 4 Fighter ASI or Feat Take the Athlete feat Increase Srength to 16 absorb elements (heliotrope) Level 5 Fighter Extra Attack Level 6 Fighter ASI or Feat Take Great Weapon Master Level 7 Paladin Divine Sense (Witcher Medalion) Lay on Hands Level 8 Paladin Fighting Style, Take Defense for the extra AC We're here for the Smites. You can prepare 3 new spells and know a bunch of good ones. pick two from Command, Compelled Duel, Heroism, detect evil and good, Detect Poison and disease, Detect Magic and Protection from good and evil Pick a Smite (searing, thunderous or wrathful) I tend to go with protection from evil and good (yrden) , detect evil (more witcher medalion stuff) and wrathful smite but you do you Level 9 Paladin You get Divine Health making you immune to disease (Witcher Mode Fully Engage) Sacred Oath - Go Oath of the Crown Champion Challenge - Each creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature can’t willingly move more than 30 feet away from you. Turn the Tide. As a bonus action,. Each creature of your choice that can hear you within 30 feet of you regains hit points equal to 1d6 + your Charisma modifier if it has no more than half of its hit points. Since this means Compelled Duel and Command are now always prepared and don't count against your number of prepared spells allowed, if you had those prepared pick a couple new ones. I would stick with wrathful smite and detect evil and grab detect magic for more witcher medalion fun Level 10 Fighter War Magic (when you use your action to cast a cantrip, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.) for a bit of sign and smash. Take Gust of Wind for some better aard action Level 11 and 12 are both ASI slots. One for Fighter one for Paladin. Pick in whichever order you wish. I started with Level 11 Fighter and picked up web for more yrden and bumped charisma up to 16 for more power to the paladin spells. Then take the other ASI, for me that was Paladin Add two more spells to your prepared spells list (I went with Heroism and Thuderous Smite) Also bump Intelligence up to 10 to finally take that out of the negative. Level 13 Warlock Patron - Hexblade Hexblades Curse Hex Warrior - you already have your swords bonded, use this on your crossbow. We finally get new cantrips. Take Friends for Axii and Blade ward for more Quen Level 14 Warlock Edrich Envocations Take Beguiling Influence for proficiency in Deception and Persuasion Take Devils Sight. With eyes like those they better be good for something. You also get 3 more spells: Take Armor of Agathys and Hellish Rebuke for more yrden action and Hex to start really stacking damage with your pokey sticks. Level 15 Warlock Path of the Tome Take Guidance, Vicious Mockery and Resistance because Geralt is more than a dude who plays with swords. Take Shatter giving aard more bite. Level 16 Warlock ASI. More Charisma = More Power. Take Thunderclap (aard) giving you a cantrip for every sign. Add blur to make quen a bit more potent. *somewhere in these last couple levels we also got an extra paladin spell to prepare, take detect poison and disease. Level 17 Fighter Indomidable Level 18 Fighter Eldrich Strike True Strike Scorching Ray for a bit more Igni Level 19 Fighter Extra Attack Burning Hands for even more Igni Level 20 Fighter ASI - I bumped Strength to 18 here but you can put this wherever you feel you need it most at this stage. How strong is it? With 160 HP and AC 17 you don't look like a tank but neither does the real Geralt. You have a ton of buff and defensive signs, a pool of 20 lay on hands points, turn the tide and second wind plus resistance to necrotic and radiant damage, immunity to disease and the alchemical know how and indomitable will to keep in the fight far longer than most. With 3 attacks, hexes, smites, great Weapon Fighting, Great Weapon Master and a bit of offensive signage you can do a lot of damage. and with action surge you can do it twice. The weaknesses are that because the build dumps INT, your fighter spells are a bit weak, but your paladin and warlock spells are pretty good. It also has the common problem of having a lot of concentration spells. But That is kind of the nature of signs so it is what it is. You probably should be sticking to spamming the cantrip versions most of the time anyway, using the more powerful versions only in an emergency. You've got 2 big swords, a crossbow and a whole lot of smiting monsters to do. Note: you also have the option to forgo the Paladin ASI level for an extra fighter level if you'd rather pick up a 3rd level spell like fireball, counterspell or fast friends etc. I didn't but you could.

This is a great build and I’ve been looking forward to this build for a long time. The only build that I think will rival this one would be the Lich King

Another nice build, man! I could never get myself to copy someone else's build exactly (because RP #1 goal for this chronic roller if the number 1), but you really helped me think of D&D 5th in a new way. I'm currently enjoying a grappletastic Brute Fighter/ Oath of Heroism Paladin that plays like a badass hero of legend because of concepts I've gotten from you. (Punch, Grab, Holy Stab) You really helped me build the character I had in my head just by thinking outside the box.

I didn't expect to see shifter used for toxicity, really cool take on a dope build. I tend to swear by the blood hunter, but I love this option

Love the build! Just watched the first ep of the Witcher on Netflix today. Cant wait to try the game soon! You ever think we can get an "uber ninja" type build? Im talking the guys dressed like ninjas who say they're ninjas but dont know the first thing about stealth (like Raiden from MGS, Ryu hayabusa, Joe Musashi, Genji, etc...)

What do I think of this build? Hmmm....

Yyaaasss!!!! One of the ones I requested 😁 super happy, thank ya!

Finally, I have be curious. Keep up the good work.

We've had Dante before. Now we need Vergil and Nero >_

After turning out to be DIO a week ago, He finally arrives You're still charming, im just trying to not comment the same thing every video, i'd like to see something like Lady from dmc3 (possibly an artificer?)

Thank you. I needed this 3 weeks ago but there is always next time.

The forced sign puns had me in stitches; also a great build!

I'd say that this is a pretty good build. The only thing I personally might do differently, is to go for the Monster Hunter subclass for the fighter from the Gothic Heroes Unearthed Arcana. It gives you some extra proficiencies (if you didn't have them already), Superiority Dice and some nice abilities to spend them on, especially Sharpened Senses and Superior Willpower. It also gives you Detect Magic as a ritual, and one free Protection from Evil and Good per long rest. The level 7 ability, Monster Slayer, really caps it off, since it allows you to add an extra Superiority Die to damage rolls, and it maxes out the damage from those dice against aberrations, fey, fiends and undead, really making you deal massive damage against the targets you hunt.

Nice build! Love to see how you’d make Harry Dresden.

This will be my first BG3 character build. Thank you

Awesome vid! I haven’t gotten a chance to watch the Netflix series yet, but I am looking forward to the chance. Keep up the good work!

Honestly wasn't expecting Druid as one of the multiclasses, but you somehow make it work! Think you'll be able to make builds for Yennifer, Triss, adult Ciri, and just as a joke, Jaskier (Dandelion)? I think builds for Vesimer and the other witchers of the Wolf school (and the other schools) would be the same as this.

Dammit, just when I thought I'd get that song out of my head you make this! Jokes aside, I love this build! I might try it out sometime, though I might swap the cavalier subclass to battlemaster, since either one works really well.

I think one variation one could make to this build would be to use the Eldritch Knight subclass instead of the Cavalier subclass, giving you arcane capabilities without having to use a level in Druid. Just found the channel yesterday and I'm loving the content!

Thanks for the video and build

Cayde-6 from Destiny. It's an excuse to make a Warforged Rogue/Ranger

Ornstein from Dark Souls

Hahaha. That rant about Matt and Anderson gives a lot of context/volume to your tweets :D Good stuff my man!

Love Geralt. Love the build . Witcher is amazing. You are Awesome.

& now that he's out of the way on to Goblin Slayer! Let's slay sum GAwBliNs!!! (grimjack)

Your videos are always amazing still rooting for Scrooge McDuck build hehe made my own and its a blast kinda curious how my fav character builder would make him

Great build man.

Thabk you Tulok. A unique build and in my humble opinion the beat geralt buils I've seen so far. But now you''ve markee yourself. And I vote for my favorite character.... Renfri. ^^

Last week was a soft “G” and this week a hard “G” How many people got on your case about that 😂😂

Question: Why didn't you go with the Monster Hunter Conclave? Woulda had even more flavour rolled in.

I've been waiting on this build. I honestly thought you would go variant human ranger/warlock but this works too

I'm new to playing D&D, if my GM/DM allows this i'd be more than happy to use this build. Thanks for the info

A Wildhunt Shifter huh....oh no Ciri:**Sigh** Ahh shit, here we go again *Pulls out sword and starts up the Witcher main battle theme*

Dude, *I'm DROWNING!!* How can i be a Witcher when I'm too *HydRaTeD!*

Would you change anything about the character to include alchemy (ie bombs, decoctions, and potions)? Or would those be craftable items up to the DM? Thoughts?

Oh so helpful! I'm trying to determine whether or not I want to use the homebrew or something similar to this for a witcher campaign I'm writing.

What can you do for an Attack On Titan build, perhaps Levi or Mikasa? Hell, how could you incorporate Titan-shifting abilities?

> Witcher's are monster hunters > We literaly have subclass called Monster Slayer > "We are gonna use Hunter"

I have watched about 30 of your videos in the past two days i love these and cant wait till i can play obiwon in a game :) Suggestion Eragon from the Inheritance series.

perfect timing just binged the netflix yesterday

Built him as I would without Bloodhunter. Love it. Kinda would love you to do Saint-14 from Destiny 2 (or at least your 2 cents on mine lmao). Keep it up, Tulac!

Ok, now you just have to make a Speedwagon build. The Sirfetch'd one.

A nice substitution might be to pick up Magic Initiate with one of those ASI's. Wizard list gives you Firebolt (Igni), Ray of Frost (Aard gets some cold effects later), and Shield (Quen). Could do that, forego the level of Druid, and then make up the ASI at Fighter 12.

Honestly loved this one! Would love to see your attempt at something like Cloud from Final Fantasy VII.

For me I'm gonna make my own Witcher OC *(don't fuckin judge, if I'm gonna be Geralt of Rivia I'd just go play the Witcher 3)* so, I'd just go for a Fighter/Ranger multiclass, Eldritch Knight at 3rd lvl fighter keep going until lvl 5 Fighter for the extra attack then go into Ranger until 3rd lvl to get the Monster Slayer archetype then mix and match as I see fit until lvl 20, my race would be Variant Human slightly homebrewed to get redish orange cat-like eyes and Darkvision, my spells would be Burning Hands for Igni, Shield for Quen, Hold Person/Hold Monster for Yrden, Charm Person for Axii, and Thunderwave for Aard, my background would be Outlander with the Bounty Hunter origin, and my fighting styles would be Dueling and Defence, I'm choseing Dueling because Longswords are versatile weapons and by Witcher lore Witchers like to have a free hand to cast their signs, Defense for the extra armor point, seeing how this is my own Witcher OC, I don't really need a horse, but I'll talk to my DM about buying one during the campaign when I can, so yeah, I made this build a bit simpler 😊👍, also if I could be a Witcher in real life I'd very much would like to be in the School of the Wolf 😄

Pst, Tulok, Matthew Merser's stuff is about to be made official in DnD, in around... March

A great build; that unearthed arcana does come in handy here. I would probably take a level in Rogue though, for expertise in perception and investigation; really make those Witcher senses work for me. Brilliant idea with using wildhunt shifter too.

Yay you did one of my ideas!

Nice, nice but when we are gonna have the final weapon against evil, the promised one, Ash Williams.

I love this up until Cavalier it doesn't really fit Geralt. In 99% of cases Geralt fights on foot as a normal fighter and not on horseback. I feel he should be a Battle Master, Eldtrich Knight, or Monster Hunter. Any of those 3 archetypes bring things that work for Geralt as a character much more than Cavalier. Battle Master brings maneuvers which are things Geralt uses all the time specifically Disarming Attack, Evasive Footwork, Parry, and Riposte he uses these a lot. In addition there is Know Your Enemy which is something that works very well with Favored Enemy and is something Geralt would intrinsically have. He'd be able to see certain creatures and based on information he has on that type of creature or similar creatures he could deduce certain traits of that creature. Eldritch Knight works well seeing as Geralt is a fighter who uses magic. It brings Weapon Bond which would work well since Geralt depends on his sword/s so much. It has War Magic which would let Geralt use a cantrip and still make a weapon attack which works with him Geralt could then use Aard(Gust) to knock back an enemy that could get an opportunity attack and then go and attack a different enemy. And Eldritch Strike is something he'd learn after years of experience using his signs and fighting. The only downsides to Eldritch Knight is it uses Intelligence and not Wisdom and the other 2 archetypes are better for Geralt imo. Monster Hunter what else can I say this UA class is literally Geralt. It has Combat Superiority which brings things to the table that Geralt needs. Such as Superior Willpower Geralt has a strong mind and is resistant to things that affect his mind, Sharpened Senses Geralt is very perceptive and has strong senses so this further enhances his perception, and Precision Attack/Sharpened Attack are added bonuses. Hunter's Mysticism gives a free use of Protection from Evil and Good along with another language. Next we have Monster Slayer letting you expend 2 dice when adding damage to an aberration, fey, fiend, or undead you add the die maximum so that's 16 damage. And finally we get Improved Combat Superiority making those Superiority Dice D10's. All in all this is a great Geralt build up to Fighter 3 where it uses an archetype that doesn't quite work with the character and makes the build miss out on things that match Geralt far better.

I love your sense of humor

The only thing I slightly "take issue" with is the quen sign. I feel like the spell "shield" would possibly be better/a great add on, BUT I have no idea what you would replace to make it happen and honestly don't even want to try because everything else is spot on soooo.... oh well! Great vid. I'm addicted to these.

You should Do Arthur Morgan from RDR2. I'd really like to see a cowboy build.

I have an idea. The main character from Hollow Knight, (the vessel/ghost) what will he be? Insect person? Warforged, since he is a "golem" kinda little dude? What classes? Eldritch Knight?

This was a epic build.

For my witcher build I just made 2 character sheets One is the Blood Hunter Mutant (obviously) And the second one is a Monster Hunter Ranger (if the DM doesn't allow the BH) and TBH sometimes it's more fun than the mutant

40k 40k 40k!

. *THE DOCTOR* From Doctor Who, any regeneration or just The Doctor in general. I'm thinking Lore Bard with maybe some levels in Cleric and Artificer. Are Time Lords Aasimar? Leomund's Tiny Hut but it's Mordenkainan's Magnificent Mansion on the inside. Mage Hand+Knock= Sonic Screwdriver? But how does regeneration work?

Love. Would probably drop the druid levels for more fighter but that's just me. I will be using this build. Thanks a bunch.

“I’m really excited to start DMing again now that the new year has started” Ouch.

Can u do WHITEBEARD from One Piece

So we’re just gonna ignore the fact that there’s a ranger subclass called “monster slayer”?

I like this build myself I was thinking eldritch knight multi artificer alchemist for potions but I guess that is more healing than he would have. The choice of race is intriguing and love that it is a wild hunt shifter very fitting

everytime you upload, your video is the first thing in my sub box, and i must say, it's quite favorable that way
