I think better justification is she learned bending straight from the moles.

yoda

Not just that, she learned her bending directly from the beings that first taught earthbending to humans. So the whole connected with nature qnd powers learned frkm a benevolent nature spirit vide is very much there and perfectly jives with druid.

Fun fact, the BOULDER canonically has a crocodile cat named the Pebble.

Fun fact #2: The BOULDER is based off of the professional wrestler turned actor The Rock, but due to scheduling conflicts he is instead voiced by fellow wrestler Mankind

@@totalcoward I hope that the rock can play the bolder in the live action remake

Username checks out

Fun fact #3, you spelled Boulder wrong.

Toph is not dumb

@@mysticmagicsmurfdarklord6844 Int is not an important part of her character and the build doesn't use it => dump it

I see charisma as her dump stat personally.

It’s also what Toph would say

Spike

He did talk about fortnite in 2020, he's just asking to be hated at that point.

RiftWitch it’s amazing

I’m a kid, I think halos better 😂 but fortnight isn’t BAD I just don’t like it

This. Tulok we want this

Remember to spec into "tea making". Iroh is a connoisseur of tea lol

You mean, The Dragon of the West

HELL YEAH!

Yes indeed.

"Sounds to me like you're scared!"

Badger Mole*

I actually did this with my Water Genasi druid, with their wild shapes being made of water. It's a fun way to make Wild Shape make sense with some builds.

@@empoleon22 awesome idea!

@@empoleon22 I have an idea for a warforged druid who is basically a transformer.

Cave badger literally digs through earth and has tremorsense to 60 feet! how has this not been mentioned?

Good idea

Can druids get zone of truth?

she could play it in real life, with stone slaps

That's why I enjoyed it. The shooting and stuff was alright but making fun of the 10 year olds getting mad about getting shot, that's the gold

Let Sokka play while she runs smacktalk on the mic.

Well her true masters were magical mole badgers. So druid makes sense to me.

Toph would sit with you just to trahs talk people

They are Badgers and they are a moles

I was always confused by that so badger moles give u earth bending? Can u just get up and learn how to bend? It was said that the first earth benders learned earth bending from the badgermoles I haven't watched korra yet, so tell me of it's worth it

@@streetvybzswag1.067 If you think that's confusing, the first waterbenders learnt how to do it from the moon.

@@streetvybzswag1.067 and other folks here, I think there may be some confusion as to what is meant by "learning." You're either born a bender, or you're not, so learning to bend is about mastering techniques, rather than simply acquiring a new skill.

@@mattpluzhnikov519 ahhhhhh ok that was a mistake on my end

I hope he does our lord and savior Sokka next

@@captaincheese3848 Amen to that, I'm personally hoping for Suki and Azula somewhere down the line.

I'm voting for Iroh, the Dragon of the West.

Iroh or Zuko would be super cool to see.

@@captaincheese3848 tbh, Sokka would probs be a Battle Master Fighter and I'm thinking a Hunter Ranger. That being said, would still love to see it!

Seen. Thanks, that means a lot, I try to be consistent!

^This. Couldn't have said it better myself. These videos have been such a bright spot of escapism in dark times, and I so wholly appreciate how gently inclusive you are in your phrasing and little asides. I appreciate that you don't put up with assholes and gatekeepers, all the while making incredibly well-thought-out and evocative builds with a deep understanding of the game. You've got such a great way of making the rules of 5e fit a particular fantasy. Thanks for being an actually decent human being, an incredible content creator, and a legendary Barbrarian. As soon as I can figure out a stable income again, I'm joining your patreon. Thanks for everything, mate.

Agreed! All points above! 👆😁

Toph kek

Thayer's Portfolio You know what you did

Sorry man I just don't think people would see it coming, also toph stole most of those jokes xd

@@shenronsgoldfish well she's blind but in the end she's still a bandit.

If your dm would have a problem changing it up for you than I wouldn't play this creative of a build with them. My players if they don't have some way to fight blind I just make them make a arcana check to try to pin point the target or if they can touch them they can cast it as well

If your DM is that much of a rules lawyer, either find a different DM or play a different character.

if your Dm said that then they are a waste of carbon

@@Spiceodog That seems like a harsh thing to say about someone claiming your blind character can't see someone.

Kinda wish it was possible to get Blindsight more easily in D&D. In Starfinder, just play as a Shirren and you start with Blindsight through Vibrations out to 30 feet. Edit: Correction, you start with Blindsense, not Blindsight, though there are apparently ways to upgrade it.

I've come back to this video a few times, and several of such instances being just for the catharsis of seeing how perfectly "Bones of the Earth" fits with earthbending! (*DiCaprio pointing meme* There it is! She did the thing!)

Toph figured out metal bending checkmate Toph is better

Do I need to show you the door or do you know where it is already?

You've got some stones to make a pun like that.

@@K_i_t_t_y84 I know, it's Terra-ble.

Too bad she's unable to be a war master then.

Check out Dungeon Worlds Immolator for the literal “Zuko Class”

Ethan Koval yeah, but does it include a bunch of cool blue spirit ninja stuff?

THE BOULDER TAKES ISSUE WITH THAT COMMENT

How many fire spells do Eldritch Knigfht or Arcane Trickster get? Cause I'm thinking one of those. Def two-handed figfhter

@@noraarcadia635 Eldritch Knights use the wizard spell list, which has a ton of fire options. By 5th level they have three first level spells, by 7th they have three first level and two second level spells. By 10th level they have four first and three second, by 13th level they get two third level spell slots, and at level 19 they *finally* get a fourth level slot. That's enough to get Create Bonfire(0), firebolt(0), Burning Hands(1), Absorb Elements(1), Pyrotechnics(2) Flaming Sphere(2) and Scorching Ray(2) reasonably early, grab Fireball and Lightning Bolt at level 13, and then gain Flame Shield(4) or Wall of Fire(4) WAY down the line near the endgame. So not a bad option if you want to prioritize the martial arts, but still be able to shoot fire at people all game.

dominate person would be my guess for bloodbending

Yup. Zuko or Iroh next.

Nah its all about Iroh my man

Been thinking up a firebending build recently. Stats go 15 Cha, 14 Con, 13 Dex, 12 Str, 10 Int, 8 Wis. Go V. Human with +1s in Cha/Dex and Elemental Adept (Fire) to get around the fact that everything resists fire. Start as a Draconic Bloodline (Red or Gold) sorcerer, take firebolt and any other fire related stuff I don't mention later on as you go. First ASI, bump your Cha up. Once you hit 6 Sorcerer you add your Charisma onto one damage roll of any fire spells you do. From here start going into Warlock, specifically Pact of the Celestial (Pick Ran, the red dragon from the temple where Zuko and Aang learn firebending together as your patron if your DM is a stickler for you needing one). Cantrips are up to personal preference here but as you grab Warlock levels two important spells to grab are Flaming Sphere and Hellish Rebuke which Sorcerers don't get. Warlock your way up to level 6; when you hit level 3 pick Pact of the Tome to get Produce Flame as the final piece of fire cantrip goodness you couldn't get before and Word of Radiance for AoE Holy Fire. Max your Charisma at 4 warlock (10 total level). At 6 warlock you can add your charisma mod to one damage roll of any radiant or fire spells you do. This stacks with the similar feature from Sorcerer, meaning you add 10 (TEN!) damage to every fire spell you cast, which in combination with Elemental Adept treating ones your roll as twos means that each firebolt you throw out deals 3d10+10 damage, and has a minimum damage of 16 (for comparison, the AVERAGE roll for a standard firebolt at your level is 16.5) and a maximum of 40 damage. If you really want to get the Blue spirit proficiencies take 1 level of Fighter for Scimitar Proficiency and Two Weapon fighting style, but doing this means you miss out on a dope capstone. Rest of the way throw your levels into Sorcerer. This gives you 13 Sorc/6Lock/1Fighter, which is cool and all because you still get 7th level spells, but if you skipped Fighter (you can use an ASI for the Weapon Master feat if you really want to use Scimitars without skipping this capstone) you have 14Sorc/6Lock. This means you get DRAGON WINGS at 14th level sorcerer. While not in character technically is still very cool. All in all this gives you 4*First,3*Second,3*Third,3*Fourth,2*Fifth,1*Sixth,1*Seventh spell slots that come back on a long rest as well as 2 Third level spell slots that come back on a short rest, 14 Sorcery points to spend speeding up, empowering or twinning your fiery wrath or convert into more slots to throw at people, another 2 ASIs to spend chunking up your AC or getting cool feats like warcaster and inspiring leader, plus 3 invocations to use where you want them (I like Book of Ancient Secrets, Aspect of the Moon and Devil's Sight) as well as a solid 142 HP and an unarmoured AC of 15 which is very chunky for what effectively amounts to a blaster mage. Go forth, throw fireballs, reclaim your H O N O R and have fun!

How about Hiro Nakamura(Heroes)? Doubt they're gonna reboot anytime soon. Build it!!

Far as airbender i'd way rather see Katara though- way more interesting than a monk with fire spells.

What would you have done?

Yeah, so what would you have done? You can’t really get the spells easy, and also, you get earth elemental with Druid, fighter just makes sense, she is a professional fighter, and monk is just a taken of your from avatar, because KUNG FU (mantis style, what toph uses, is open handed so open hand monk works)

@@huntertheanything4274 ok one cailm down, and two go play dnd. most games don't even get past fifth level, playing a charitor is more about how you play them then the stats, and lastly its all about having fun. if you want to pick apart my comment then fine, if you want to have fun then fine, but if you honestly think this is the only way to make toph then your wrong. this channel is to show how HE would make and play them not how I would have made and play them. just shut up, and enjoy the video.

@@angeryfluuf6514 simple start off with an earth based adjuration wizard and then multi class into open palm monk in later levels. add blind sense, tavern brawler, invest in int, con, and wiz then into dex when you start picking up monk levels. pick up move earth, stone skin, and some other spells and give them some earth flavor.

neal justus, well I asked how you would have done it, partiality because I like D&D and have had problems making this character because I don’t have the book with the bling fighter option, we had to add it as a Homebrew feat, also if you thought when i used full caps when saying KUNG FU, it’s because I like Kung fu, which is why I added the part about mantis style. Also, quick note, without Homebrew, you can’t get blind fighter if you don’t put a part into fighter class. I’m also gonna say, that there is never a best way to make someone in D&D. One of the problems I can’t see past is being blind without using vibrations to see. And sorry if this is too long for you, I have no idea how to compact my messages. 🙃

I feel like sokka’s a fighter and Irohs more bard

maybe sokka is a kensei monk?

I was between fighter and bard for Sokka, but all my fav Sokka moments are charisma things

@@michaellavy3269 Charismatic battle master. He's all about plans and strategy, not really about lore and singing.

Foghammer that’s good I didn’t think of that

THISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHIS!

By a lot I mean one, but it's a pretty big one

I'd likely go a few levels in to Sun soul for the ranged attack, at least. Is there a spell or class ability that allows a sanctuary-like aura? I can't think of one off the top of my head, but cleric/paladin spells aren't my strong suit.

Ty lee is the definition of open palm monk

They've fought once, and twas a draw. HOWEVER, Toph's pretty busted against earthbenders, as she can feel everything her opponent is going to do. That's why she was able to not get her ass wooped despite the differece of skill.

They both invented different styles of earthbending but Toph’s actually helped revolutionize her civilization

King Bumi would like to know his location, but Toph already knows where he is.

It's a pretty even fight really

@@bishop6881 I can only imagine what happens if the two trade styles. Imagine King Bumi with seismic sense. Unstoppable.

Windu was inspired!

I don't know that there's a good way to simulate that with 5e rules. I can't really think of anything that specifically affects or moves metal (other than Heat Metal, which ain't really her thing). A lot of her abilities could be re-flavored to say they're working with metal, like spike growth or entangle or the like, but I don't know how else you could represent it. Any thoughts?

Tulock rarely sincs the footage with the skills drives my nuts (so treat show as pod cast)

Woah that's really cool! I really wanna hear more about that, maybe I'll use it in my games

I could kinda see a gith-yanki. Similar skin pigmentation, both fierce alien races that are big on combat and have a super creepy arch enemy race(alien/Illithid). The only issue would be their psionics aren’t very thematic.

Earth benders should require some sort of class-nerf because moving earth can be really broken in dnd if you're just on the ground. air benders using paragliders too.
