Also really like this class mix. I do feel like a DM facilitating the building of this class could let the player buy things like explosives and then this could be a fun Gloomstalker/Kensai multiclass for better powerbuilding, but you would still run into the armor issue and like you always say, you can't rely on the DM giving you stuff for accurate builds. But maybe it would be fun to revisit a build under the assumption the DM will allow some magic items from the books? Idk the criteria, but it could be a fun to do.

The worst thing about a cool helmet is that it would hide a handsome half-orc face. Pros: Relentless endurance is sorta like a Lazurus pit, free darkvision for nightwork, intimidation and a boost to strength and con. Plus half orcs are hot Cons: You lose the free feat, and with no starting boosts to the stats you need you're gonna be pressed for ASIs. Verdict: Half-orcs are hot, play a half-orc Red Hood
@maxx83623 жыл бұрын
Given Jason's, one could say, recklessness when fighting in melee and his use of venom to bolster his strength, I would argue that a level or two of barbarian would have fit quite nicely into this build. You could even go with three levels if you want to emphasize his anger issues (berserker) or his return from the dead (zealot).
@TheRedVelvetScare3 жыл бұрын
Jason Alt-Build Race: Half-Elf because of his mutation in the Lazarus Pit and from Venom. Background: Urchin Class Breakdown: Rogue Thief 12 Barbarian Berserker 8 Feats: Tavern Brawler or the Unarmed Fighting UA Sharpshooter Crossbow Expert While not optimal because they don't synergize perfectly, you'd get 8 skills, 4 of which have expertise, solid damage at range and good melee options, along with rage standing in for Venom, and he would have good mobility though not as much as his brothers, being more of a bruiser than a boxer.
@soysaucerb3 жыл бұрын
While thematically appropriate, you're choosing between three weapons at any given time- unarmed attacks which can't benefit from Sneak Attacks(from Tavern Brawler since Unarmed Fighting is a Fighting Style and neither class gets one), crossbow attacks which can't benefit from Rage, or finesse weapon attacks. You could also use a finesse weapon to attack and then fire the crossbow, but you wouldn't have a free hand to reload it, and unarmed attacks don't trigger Crossbow Expert.
@TheRedVelvetScare3 жыл бұрын
@@soysaucerb yeah, it is a drag, but my line if thought is for weapon switching is Jason hits hard at a distance, and is more brutal up close, so while SA doesn't synergize and Rage doesn't help the Rogue abilities really, it would be close to it. Honestly most superheroes are more like Monsters than PCs in terms of abilities and prowess.
@soysaucerb3 жыл бұрын
Rage absolutely does help the Rogue abilities, as Tulok explores in his Jason Voorhees video. Summary: If you're using your Strength modifier to hit with a Finesse weapon (and using Reckless Attack to get advantage), you're satisfying the requirements for both the Rage bonus and Sneak Attack.

@JessieShadowhold3 жыл бұрын
@@soysaucerb I actually like the barb-rogue mix for this when you look at the sneak attack and the issues with reloading. It means if you have no free action to draw/store the knife you need to use the possibly less damaging fists that don't get sneak attack but you are rewarded for using that free action with the knife accurately. That depends on how the DM adjudicates the ammo property though, because I would personally say you can draw the knife but must put it away before firing, and maybe let a player roll some slight of hand to reload while carrying the knife. But like Tulok usually says, you can't assume the DM will let you do something just because it's cool.

@caeligocielo56343 жыл бұрын
They don't use much in the way of magic themselves, unless you want to count Castiel as a summon. They get their magical items from others and the closest thing to a spell they use is the Exorcism ritual, which is more lore-based (and probably a combined Religion and Performance check). There is a Monster Hunter sub-class which seems on-brand (though I would stop at 7th level. Alternately some levels of Ranger given that they spend a lot of time tracking things down and are called 'Hunters' (this means you'd be dex-focused which works better with the suggested multi-classes). You could certainly argue for a Warlock dip for Sam, though his powers kind of disappear after doing one big thing with them. Some Rogue levels might be good for Dean given his general handiness (and propensity to backstab), and I'd argue Lore Bard for Sam as he went to College and it shows. Assassin Rogue for Dean, maybe, for the feature that lets you create a false identity. He does that a lot. It also fits given that most of the fights are decided by a well-timed sneak attack. You could take Variant Human or Revenant for either of them. Lord knows they've died enough. Disguise Kit and Thief's Tools proficiencies in there somewhere, and between the two of them there should be Investigation, Perception, Religion, and Arcana proficiencies. Probably both of them pick up the Crossbow Expert feat. I'd call Dean a Monster Hunter 11/Assasin Rogue 9 as this gives him both Extra Attack 2 and Infiltration Expertise (fake IDs). You can use a dex weapon (your hand crossbow [gun] or a knife) with little worry about losing out on damage as most of that comes from Sneak Attack and Superiority Die. The Indomitable letting your re-roll a saving throw is pretty great and in-character, too. I know I suggested Lore Bard for Sam, but given the lack of magic he uses post season five you could just take the Scholar background instead and use the same build for both of them.

I made a knock-off Red Hood for a Spelljammer campaign last year. I like the build you went with, but I personally went with a Variant Human Inquisitive Rogue / Kensai Monk multiclass. My pistols, daggers, and shurikens were my Kensai / Monk weapons and I grabbed the Sharpshooter feat to buff them up a bit. Some of my unarmed strikes were flavored as pistol whips since Jason likes to get personal sometimes. My DM was also fortunate enough to give me a Rope of Climbing that we flavored as a grappling gun.

As well as the ability to have multiple infusions on each piece allowing for night vision healmet, boots of elven kind, and plenty of other things.
