*"You can bring a buddy for your sister when she needs a hand"* ... Very poor choice of words .. Yet ... The best words

Tulok: I'm not sure what your armor is, it looks like a normal dress. Ruby and Weiss: It's a combat skirt!

for the artisans tools i'd suggest a set of Blacksmiths or tinkerers tools. after all Ruby made that scythe sniper herself.

"looks like a normal dress" Ahem, it's a combat skirt.

In the immortal words of Ruby Rose: Oh yeah.

The only thing I have to point is that the Student of War tools should be smith's tools if looking for character accuracy since Ruby made Crescent Rose herself.

RUBY carries a scythe but Anderson Cooper carries my undying love with him. We should really have a build for him!

She is a action "anime" protagonist, of course you have to dump wisdom

While Calligraphy is indeed the skill of the gods, Smith's or Tinker's work for Ruby as she is kinda obsessed with weapons, including other people's.

4:48 It's a Combat Skirt.

4:48 Its called a *combat skirt*

“Uncle’s nest” Nice 😉

"wait is this a marluxia build?" Honestly, you ain't wrong.

Kind of surprise Ruby didn't have levels in Light Domain Cleric. Between Turn Undead and Warding Flare, it seemed like a perfect fit for Ruby's Silver Eyes. Though I think my imagined Ruby build was something like 3 levels of Hexblade Warlock (Pact of the Blade), 6 levels of Light Domain Cleric, and 11 levels of Horizon Walker Conclave Ranger. For a nice mix of evasion spells, Grimm tracking, and using Charisma as the attack stat since Ruby isn't that great of a hand to hand fighter (though she's getting better since Vol. 5). Also saw an article about Tulok on Gizmodo so congrats. Hopefully this leads to more viewers and subscribers.

Well this is surprising. *ahem* "A surprise to be sure but a welcomed one"

Oooooo finally a RWBY character~ Does this mean we'll get Yang, Blake and Weiss sometime in.the future~?

RWBY ... and so far, you have avoided hueing our senses with off-color humor. Thank you.

Love the calligraphy meme, but in character it’d likely be smith’s tools, since she did build her scythe. And, “it’s also a customizable, high impact, sniper rifle”

Watching this I just realized how much I miss the hair physics Ruby had early in the series. It made it look like she was actually fast.

8:20 Technically, Ruby can’t do that. It’s Weiss giving her that ability, every time.

DID YOU JUST SAY "SHOTGUN SCYTHE" HOW DARE MUCH ROOD Everyone knows its a high caliber sniper rifle

"Fully-customizable, high-impact sniper rifle."

I think that Aasimar is actually a good call for race since you can re flavor the radiant oomph added to attacks as the silver eyes

"You're the leader of the bunch, they know you well" *My mind* HE'S FINALLY BACK, TO KICK SOME TAIL!

I remember seeing the poll and was wondering when this would come out, awesome video.

He used the community version of “Kiss From A Rose.” Intentional or not, it’s hilarious

Aaaaahhh finally an episode for my favorite show! Bless

Been waiting for this build. The one I want most is Yang but damn, it is great having you check out RWBY.

Great video dude! Keep on keeping on and can't wait to see Thursdays vid!

Awesome, I'd love to see more rwby characters. Weiss is my favorite, but she's not too hard to build (Dex based Eldritch knight and Bladesinger multiclass). I'd be much more interested to see how you'd make Yang.

i had been waiting for this since last month when you revealed you were gonna do a RWBY build after the Yugi video. Actually, my brother was trying to build Ruby himself, but he went with a ranger at the time.

Love the video, Commander's Strike seems an excellent fit for Ruby as a team leader and team-attack creator, but really love the build! Celestial Warlock is clever for silver eyes and bullets!

I absolutely adore your videos: what’s an underrated movie character you wish we’d ask for?

this was really great and i could see someone doing a remnant style campaign! You should do the rest of team RWBY!

I've been trying to figure out RWBY in d&d for years thank you

(Wildly hits subscribe button) That was AWESOME!!!! Love the show and character, thought the in jokes and commentary were great and good spirited and the build sounds really cool!

This is the day I’ve been waiting for

This really helps a whole ton, ive been trying to make a rwby oc with dnd parameters for a WHILE

Been waiting for this loved it and need more of it

God, please do Weiss next! It'd be so cool if you actually made her a capable duelist with summoning

I was so excited to see this appear in my subscriptions feed today and, while generally okay with the majority of what you offered for this build, I would at the very least make sure to get the Warlock side of things online sooner. to be multiclassed by 5th level. I would also probably do a few swaps when it comes to spells chosen. Since I would want her to be able to fight both in melee and at range as soon as possible, where I felt you having the Warlock's eldritch blast being her "sniper rifle" side of attacks as a very creative way of handling things.

So I now am prepping to binge your character designs, hope for more RWBY but I already see a separate marvel playlist so already yay!

Excellent video, really enjoying seeing how RWBY characters fight on the tabletop. Also, the UA/Mordenkainen's Eladrin would be an alternate option if you wanted to get the semblance immediately, with the seasonal abilities either being representational of the four maidens (I know Ruby Isn't one, but it's still kinda cool) or could be reflavoured as other abilities (winter being silver eyes, summer being fire Dust, etc).

Nice job on this build! Keep it up!

I'd personally go Hexblade/Bard of the Colledge of valour. Healing by inspiring isn't really what the celestial warlock does, it's what the bard does, and I'd use Hexblade to get Ruby's basic moveset down with greater pact weapon so she can use her giant scythe, and because it's an arcane focus thanks to being a hexblade you can use it as a gun, and as for armor you just take the medium armour master feat and say that their's a breastplate under your dress.

This build is combat ready! On that note, Penny would be cool to see with the whole multiple swords and beam weapons thing.

Congrats on the Gizmodo article, Tulok!

I was happy with my tiefling based on Vanir from Konosuba, but this is awsome! you rock :)

Bro I swear you’re stalking me! Every time I start a new show you make a building character for a character from that series

I'm so glad you are doing this one. Been racking my brain for a good year on it, and I know others on the internet have been trying too. Excited to see the expert apply his skills to this puzzler. Good luck on not getting copyrighted though. As a former RWBY youtuber, any video with clips of the show has been notoriously difficult to keep free from the claims.

I made a Ruby build a few days ago and gotta say, we came up with 2 very different characters. I went with a Scorge Assimar who was mostly Horizon Walker Ranger and few levels in Battle master

really good video, the only thing that I personally would add is at warlock lvls 9-12 replacing misty step with far step

Episode #148 of the Fire Emblem stats: Ruby Rose. Since scythes count as lances in the newest Fire Emblem, that's what I'll count Crescent Rose's close-quarters mode as. In addition, she has strengths in bows (the sniper rifle part) and authority as the leader of RWBY. She's weak in brawling, swords, and faith since that's what the other members of RWBY are good at. She has great attack, dexterity, and speed, and average stats everywhere else.

"You're the leader of the bunch, they know you well." Donkey Kong/DK Crew builds when? (Great work as usual keep it up!)

Been looking forward to this since the poll popped up! Very different to my idea of building her, which was Hunter Ranger 8 and Divine Soul Sorcerer 12. Although this did make me realise I didn't really add any petrification spells to her spell list...

yay rwby buillds!!! i did scourge aasimar and horizon walker ranger when i made ruby but this is a solid build as well

From an "Uncle's nest"...I see what you did there, and yes, I chuckled. Also the hand thing...too soon. Always too soon.

Definitely not the direction I was expecting to see you take this build, but still very thorough and effective nonetheless! I made Ruby as a character in 5e before, and I just thought the Ranger was a near-perfect class for the "Huntress /Hunters" of that universe. So ultimately, I would've gone with high dexterity, medium wisdom, and decent charisma, and made some combination of Horizon Walker Ranger (at least 11 levels for that distant strike ability) plus a couple into Kensei Monk for the ability to use dexterity with a crossbow and re-flavored Battle Axe/Longsword (would've gone with glaive, but it's a heavy weapon, so it doesnt work with kensei :(. Plus, there are some times when Ruby one-hands that giant scythe, so something tells me it's not exactly the heaviest weapon, especially considering the amount of control she has over it - effectively fighting with a giant razor blade)

Hey man, I love your videos and especially the frequent uploads, haha. I know you like dark souls, and I recently played through 3 again, and was thinking how sick it'd be to play the Nameless King in dnd. Idk how much you know about souls lore, but the character is actually pretty interesting for an optional boss, maybe you could look into making him in dnd? Thanks, and keep makin vids!

Oh heck yeah RWBY! I hope you do more characters from this series, it has so many great characters just ripe for making a D&D character out of!

Really liked the build. I did created Ruby to be part of the history of the character I am currently playing with. My character is an Archvist Artificer that went ta a Magic/Combat Magic School, and team RWBY were some of his only friends; They are just at level 4, because they are in the same level as my character. So, for Ruby I am going with Artificer Battle Smith/Ranger Hunter; for the abilities of the ranger with Monsters and the Battle Smith for using intelligence for weapon attacks; she is a nerd for guns and she isn't strong without the weapon. Plus, the Iron defender could be called Zwei! Weiss is a bard; Blake is a rougue/ranger and Yang is a Monk/barbarian. We are talking about Ruby here... Aniway, liked the vídeo, just wanted to add an personal experience. (Sorry if some of the words are mispelled; my keybord is configurated to Portuguese)

I haven't watched RWBY in two years, this build might give me a reason to get back in. Well, this video and BlazBlue Cross Tag. Even if I main the other scythe wielded in that game

4:47 It's a combat skirt

Nice vid,how about a spawn,or deathstroke build next? Hell,even Weiss would be good(best girl ftw)

Please do Neo (from RWBY) please! I would love to see how you’d make her.

"Take calligraphy I guess" Ah, bonding time with Wise I see. Excellent roleplaying. Strange that Ruby stayed awake for it though.

Awww hell yeah. Nice to see some RWBY representation.

I would love to see you do the rest of team RWBY so that I can get some friends to play them with me for a one shot or a campaign!!!

Your point about the Aasimar is a good one. I was thinking Scourge because their 3rd-level ability is a lot like Ruby's eyes in a lot of ways.

This was pretty awesome, and had some nice touches (misty step, genius). My only disagreement is making Ruby a strength oriented character, but I can see why you did that for the build. I don't think Ruby is weak by any stretch, but I feel dexterity is her strong point, and she uses the recoil of firing her scythe to hit enemies, or using it's kinetic energy. She uses her agility to manipulate it for big damage. In the show we never really see any feats of her having great physical strength, except that she is FAST. Not sure how you would translate that into 5E myself, so I'm down with this, especially since you didn't dip into homebrew or unearthed arcana.

Hey Tulok, I've been following you since around the time KH3 released and you made builds for its characters. Since then I've always hoped you'd do a build regarding the two main characters of the Guilty Gear series. Recently I've gone back to thinking about it because the Strive closed beta was held last weekend and hoo boy that hyped me a lot

Great ! Now I'm expecting a Yang build !

If you do Repelling blast early and grab Warcaster, you can use the polearm opportunity attack to keep them from closing the distance

This was a long time coming.

I just now realized that the dress comment was to trigger hundreds of combat skirt responses. Tulok, you madman!

I do one shot in my friends and I game to give the regular DM a break and I had them fighting mind controlled versions of RWBY characters, I already did Blake and Weiss and I couldn't decide what Ruby herself would be. So this is great help.

Now I wait for my favorite goat boi Adam. Other then that Amazing build I dig it.

Love RWBY, i'd love to see a Build from Nora Valkyrie

OMG this is amazing, Ill be on the Penny waiting room

A lot of others online tried to make Ruby a Ranger, but I’m not entirely sure it would be the best idea. She’s mostly for kicking people’s butts. Could make her an Aasimar to get her powers.

I'd like to see a Danny Phantom build!

Given how often Tulok mentions calligraphy, I wonder what would happen if he was asked to make a build for Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. That's all about calligraphy and swordplay.

Hey! I just discovered your channel last week! Thanks for all the good videos, I particularly loved the Zorro one, since it gave me some good ideas for my current Swashbuckler. Do you still take suggestions over your KZfaq comments or are they all over Patreon now?

"Friends is a terrible spell for making friends." idk why that makes me laugh so much XD

Next character idea: Sung Jin Woo from Solo Leveling. An absolute beast and I’m interested to see how you make him in DnD

it would be great to see you build Qrow Branwen or Tyrian Callows. Perhaps Tyrian would be a Path of the Beast barbarian so when he rages, he gains access to his tail; perhaps a few levels of Monk on top of that for his incredible speed and great unarmed prowess.

Would love to see you cover Torchwick and Neo

Fuck yeah, I wasn't expecting to ever see a RWBY character, but damn I'm glad I have

Best one yet

finally! i think i recommended a rwby character first!

Damn actually this one sounds extremely fun!

1:48 "Just know that later in life you're gonna feel an immeasurable pressure to be successful that will undoubtedly give you some sort of anxiety" This hits differently after Episode 7 of Volume 9.

I'd love to see how you'd work out Yang and Qrow's Semblences. Yang has damage absorption and redirection and Qrow is just bad luck that he can't control. That would be interesting to see using D&D mechanics

I was wondering if you'd be willing to do a build for one of the horsemen from the Darksiders games? Each horseman would be a completely different build from the other three.

Hmm. I wouldn't have thought Warlock. But hey, what works, works :) T'was a good idea to limit the tech in the kit to basically just: Shoot something that hurts out of the weapon. While Spiderclimb works, most of the more adventurous manoeuvres from the Crew are helped with Weiss' s Glyphs, so this slot could maybe be optimised :) All in all, a decent Build. Way more straightforward than i expected. And now I gladly would see a few others from the show. :)

I would love to see the rest of team RWBY done up

Having to watch the loop of RWBY footage in the back just makes the bad animation and models so much more apparent

I'm commenting to make the video higher priority for the KZfaq algorithm.

Love this

Could have seen this going a couple levels of Rogue and taking the Mobile Feat to pick that speed up to where it should be for Ruby. I would have leaned into that rather than the eyes since they haven't been that frequently used and she can't do it at will, but she relies on her speed all the time.
