Today we have a build for L from Death Note in Dungeons & Dragons! If you want to crack cases and exploit enemy weaknesses, but not really do much in combat, this will be a fun build for D&D 5e!

So with that stealth check needed to sneak up on him, how hard would that be for a standard stealthy sneak attacking 20 rogue to hit? Like, I get the number is pretty nuts, but ive also heard that rogue stealth rolls can get equally absurd. So i was curious as to who has better odds of winning the dice collision.
@coolroachbugs
@coolroachbugs Жыл бұрын
Minimum for a Level 20 Rouge with no magic, reliable talent and expertise in Stealth is 27. So your rouge would to roll a 20 on the dice to match the passive check. Having magic items only makes it slightly easier (things like the +2 dexterity book, cloaks of elvenkind, someone casting Pass without Trace, etc.) With all of these, the minimum goes up to 38, meaning you'd have to roll a 19 on the dice to match But the rouge can also, at level 20, essentially "take 20" on any failed skill check, raising the minimum once per rest to a 37 without magic and a 48 with magic. So as long as you have some reliable way to cast some sort of skill enhancing or advantage granting magic (guidance, pass without Trace, invisibility, cloak of elvenkind) and have your Stroke of Luck, you can beat the passive check just barely.

@@coolroachbugs ...didn't he say the passive perception is 32? 27 is the minimum for a entirely focused rogue which means you need to roll a 15 to beat passive 32. And with a minimum of 38(not doing the math on this one but just using the number you gave) you don't need to roll at all because reliable makes it auto-succeed. Hell from how you were saying 19 on a min 38 that'd mean you thought his passive perception was....47? And your numbers on the 27 check with a need of rolling 20 would have been 37 for the passive check which is 10 lower then the one you said later. Like it's not easy to beat it by any means but I have no idea where the hell you are getting his passive and why its increasing as his foe becomes more skilled. Though if he can manage any additional bonuses to his wisdom he may well make it impossible to be snuck up on by unenhanced humanoids. The man is basically literally Sherlock Holmes at this point with his walk into a room 'How many clues to this mystery do I spot?' GM:"All of them, you noticed a barely perceptible foot print, the remains up a letter in the fireplace, that there's a secret door in the room that was wallpapered over, and the painting to your left looks like the eyes can be popped out for someone to look in. Further looking up you accidentally notice numerous strange humans looking down on you and narrating your existence before your brain decreases your perception to maintain your sanity by not realizing your a character in a game.'

@@Sandman382 his passive perception is 37 not 32 10 (base) +17 (from the skill and expertise)+5 (observant) +5 (level 9 inquisitive) Advantage on a passive check is treated as plus 5, but Tulok didn't add this to the total, meaning that the calculation for the non magic rouge is right As for the magical rouge I'm assuming the stealth check is 10 base plus 18 modifier (+6 dex mod) plus 10 from pass without Trace = 38. Meaning it would auto succeed on a passive check I did these calcs in like 10 minutes without a calculator while I was getting ready for work today so I must've gotten tripped up somewhere, sorry for the confusion

Most of the time you will hunt that W in your games, but sometimes to achieve the victory (as me hunting for that Tangle the lemur build from Sir Tulok, btw please?) you need to get the one L, specially when the god of death is among the subjects of investigation. L Lawliet is a hard guy to give his name, with many quirks that make him odd and secretive for the common folk, he is a top investigator who will look and doubt every aspect of a case to reach the truth. deceitful, resourceful, cunning all in a package that hide his true potential, he might say he is only 5% sure of something when he might already have you in his grasp. Keeping yourself at the level of this genius is certainly worthy but a tall ordeal nonetheless, specially if you have to crouch instead of sitting, that seems uncomfortable and will not win you many friends that don't see you weird.
