@Sterling Mallory Archer you're absolutely right, although I will say that he posts the finished character sheets on his patreon.

@@AnthonyReyes89 what happened here?

@@go03ert41 if I remember correctly, another gentleman said some things that would have been the start of an internet feud.

I'm sitting here trying to think how 2 shortswords out classes dual rapiers and I'm coming up empty....

I had the same exact thought 😂

@@omegagilgamesh I think they meant that in the comics, Nightcrawler dual wields rapiers (sometimes sabres, so scimitars might be okay). He's a fan of swashbuckling movies and sometimes dresses as a pirate for fun.

@@omegagilgamesh you can switch to rapiers once you have taken the Dual Wielder feat thought.

@@omegagilgamesh Tulok said to stick with Shortswords after picking up the duel-wielder fear, but rapiers are strictly better

Azazin Note thank goodness, because PHB Ranger is sad

I asked this same question and actually got a reply from Tulok. The UA Ranger doesn't naturally get Extra Attack (it's tied to conclaves), so you need to use PHB Ranger if you want Extra Attack on a Horizon Walker.

@@Dramatic_Gaming That was the case when the revised ranger was originaly released in Unearthed Arcana 18. As new ranger subclasses enter palytest in UA28, the one where the Horizon Walker was originaly released for playtest, it was stated that if you were using the revised ranger the only diference was o include an extra attack at lv5 Here is the link dnd.wizards.com/articles/unearthed-arcana/ranger-and-rogue

Not if you want/have to have an AL-legal character. AL only lets you pick ONE book other than PHB, and you have to use PHB.

@@ChobinoftheFunk True, but as stated in the every Unearthed Arcana, AL characters cant use any playtest content, so whenever you talk about Unearthed Arcana content, like the revised ranger, something this channel does all the time, AL is already out by default.

I'm doing the same thing! XD

It depends on whether you use a German accent or not. If you describe your character as blue with a tail and a German accent, any fans of the X-Men will immediately pick up on it.

Uh... *remembers scrambling to find a way to get Blink, finding it on the Trickery list and thanking the dear lord that Nighcrawler became a priest* yes.

You could definitely get some Swashbuckler mixing with Trickery Cleric for some shenanigans

That would be so much fun! And while I have you over here, if you ever need an idea, Bayonetta would be a build I'd LOVE to see

Me too. I was expecting swashbuckler plus Conjuration wizard. Pirate with teleports.

The X-Men give me so many potential builds, I promise many more in the future

I feel like cyclops is a GOO warlock multiclassed with monk for unarmed combat

@@jeffmarshall7180 I was thinking of some Sorcerer archetype because he is a mutant, but that makes sense to me aswell.

ruben sustaita I was doing that more so so eldritch blast could be his eye beam. For sure variant human maybe inspiring leader because he’s the leader of the x-men team

Mori jin for God of highschool or any version of the monkey king

Not a bad guess

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 thanks. I actually didnt consider Trickery domain. Are there any glaring issues with a shadow monk/horizon walker MC?

@@wabschall Other than Ranger is fairly weak and focuses on the first hit while monk is multihit, its fine.

For nightcrawler I immediately thought swashbuckler rogue plus Conjuration wizard. He's literally been a pirate lately. And you still get all the teleport spells. And STEEL WIND STRIKE which is basically the most nightcrawler spell in the game (other than maybe blink). His build is really clever though. It totally fits but it's not what I saw coming at all

I thought arcane trickster..... I was so off

Hell to the yeah! My favorite X-Man

I'm really proud of this one. Finding Blink on the Trickery list felt so good.

I'm shaking just thinking about it.

Oooooh I love me some Gambit. One of my players is currently accidentally turning into Gambit.

Huh, would you use Magic Stone for his Kinetic Card bit? Seems it's on the Druid and Warlock spell list, so I could definitely see Warlock Gambit.

Currently playing a “Gambit” Tri-brid of 8 open-hand, 5 thief, 3 eldritch knight (will be 7 EK by the end). Variant human magic initiate (warlock) EB, minor Illusion, Charm person. Not a min/maxed build but I enjoy it. www.dndbeyond.com/profile/Traituswhisperstep/characters/7750327

I think the main issue is that monks just don't pick up much teleportation potential at all and that is basically the most iconic mutation Nightcrawler has.

@@josephperez2004 shadow monk lvl6 abilities, you can teleport from shadow to shadow. As a bonus action

@@hamsterratje I do get that. The limit on shadow to shadow is tricky though since that can be very limited depending on the terrain and local things. If your teleportation can be shut down by a couple well placed light cantrips, then that can't be a consistent plan.

Yeah, but mage armor could be flavored to be nimbleness. Really, shadow sorcerer gets you all the teleportation and defense spells while swashbuckler rogue gets you the attack and maneuverability you'll need. True, you're only getting one attack per round, but it's an alpha strike with xd6 sneak attack. (And swashbuckler lets you move away without OAs)

@@ericpeterson8732 Patient defense, agile parry, and missile deflection can all be flavored as teleportation abilities and/or nimbleness., plus unarmoured defense when your two primary stats are dex and wis. AND CALLIGRAPHY.

You could always pause the video. I've done that in the past for other games' character builds.

Need expertise in Insight to interview well. So definitely a bard.

He's Ex CIA

@Dylan Shull .... No. Try the Lilith video.

is daredevil a hint of what is to come

Maybe...

I'm working on it. Thanks for reminding me he literally only takes one hit...

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 I think you can stretch "one hit" to mean one Power Word: Kill, but hype to hear its on the table.

@@researchinbreeder Pennywise was a pretty good example of a glass cannon whose main defense was being hard to hit due to his crazy variety of spells.

Follow critter I see :)

Yeah, same. No idea honestly. Etherealness is the spell to use for it, but that's 7th level, which means 13 levels of some kind of caster. And I dont know what other spells to give her?

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 perhaps: •Misty Step - and flavor it as if you see her, but she's phasing through the space? •Some Kind of Plane shift, like maybe she phased through a weak spot in the planes? •Dimension Door - there is a weird comic spot where she phased against the planet's rotation and traveled to another coast practically. •Maybe some kind of Fire or warlock with a pet, to embody Lockheed? •And perhaps a bit of martial skill for her combat training and maybe a sword due to the soulsword. •Maybe even something to negate difficult terrain (chalk it up to phasing through it). •Perhaps a resistance to force, slashing, bludgeoning, and piercing damage, as only certain things and magic hurt her while phasing? I'm not really good at meshing the things together, or even figuring out the best path to grab any of that. But those are just some ideas that popped up.

Friend, I did a Steve Harrington build. Nothing is too simple for me to make too complicated.

Not in the near future, but she's on the list. There are more Joestars in the very near future though.

Count Golden Experience as a Cleric/Mystic Hireling that shares its HP pool with your character. Otherwise, Giorno's lack of relevant Rogue XP levels will seriously hamper GE's ability to survive a Stand Battle.

I am currently working on an entire Joestar set, starting with Jotaro and Giorno. Not sure where to submit or share them, I guess I could learn how to record my own videos? lol

@@arcanejazz Tumblr or Reddit would probably be the places to go. I put the first draft of my Goro Akechi build on Tumblr, I'll probably do Reddit too once it's refined a bit.

I tried making him, but Giorno's so OP that it couldn't be accurate. I made him a half-elf for the extra skills, put 12 levels into Astral Self Monk to give him his Stand, and 8 into Druid so he can conjure animals and plants.

One of those is coming very soon. The rest are great ideas.

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 I'm pretty excited to hear that. I've been watching all of these and I look forward to every new episode that you release. Do you have Episode 100 planned? (I know you aren't gonna tell me what it is until it comes out to keep it a surprise, but I hope you have something special locked away for such a big milestone)

I like it! My strategy? Kensei monk for monk weapons (to reskin the Cards in RAW), then magical Kensei weapons at level 6, and ki empowered strikes to put some kinetic energy into everything. Then maybe some Paladin if you can swing the stats for divine smites as a beefy staff hit? Would be not great mixing the two classes, so maybe just go rogue for extra damage on your ranged attacks.

Not wrong, just different! Unless you gave him like... barbarian levels. Then wrong...

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Oh no, I had no idea what I was doing

I did. MHA is like X-Men if but Professor X is Superman and Toad is best girl. Its great.

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 YES

I thought about it, but the dim or dark restriction kept me away.

She's on the schedule, but can't be too close to Grayson, those kids need to leave room for Alfred.

For Beast, my first instincts say go with the Shifter race (from Wayfinder's Guide) they are a race of humans you can take on animalistic traits giving you certain buffs based on what you choose. As for class... Monk for Close Range fighting and agility (though I don't know how well that fits), Barbarian for Rage fighting (if you want to be animalistic Beast but I'm still not sure), or maybe Blood Hunter (Order of the Lycan) to pull off the blue fur transformations and fight like a savage animal (the transformation fits very well but the rest of the class feels iffy for Beast).

@@MFAniki6390 I honestly was thinking of a Battlemaster and Knowledge Domain Cleric for him, but I didn't even know about Shifters! Thanks, mate.

Perfect. Still wouldn't make mom happy, but it works!

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Yeah, but at least she knows her son would be safe. Plus with so many iterations of Mystique I personally go off of the Evolutuons character because she's more interesting.

Can't let those memes be dreams.

Keep shooting your shot, Zatana will probably come first, I just know her better...

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 I'm just happy you make videos at all tbh, so I'll keep trying.

He'll be on a poll soon enough! Make sure you're voting!

I thought about monk, but you just need so many Horizon Walker levels to get the Distant Strike, and Blink from Cleric takes a minute as well

Perfect, she's on the schedule, guess I better figure that out...

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 You the man 👉😎👉

Oh she's totally a Bard. I'd go with Dragonborn, even though it doesn't really fit aesthetically

@@Kilo6Charlie So dragonborn for the title rather than the "default" appearance .I see, I see. I mean, as an NPC character I can always just make up her sheet as an elder dragon, but that feels boring. lol

@@Alice_Haukea I mean it fits for the Manakete lore-wise, though honestly Pathfinder 2E would make a better one. Just go human (maybe elf or half elf for the pointy ears she has) and a Dragon Aspect Barbarian. You'd need to wait until about 14th level IIRC to go full dragon, but totally doable. Honestly nothing in D&D really fits the flavour of the Manakete outside of going to OLD 3.5 rules. IIRC there were some Feats a Druid could take to wild shape into magical beasts, take the right feats and I'm sure you can turn into a dragon. Outside of a Polymorph or Illusion build though, not really doable in 5E IMO. I guess you could use Dragon Sorcerer and take the Dragon Breath spell from XGtE, but that doesn't cover the whole shifting into a dragon to fight thing...
