5:17 funny thing with making the patron based on great sage, since great sage is a skill it's a part of rimuru's very soul so you basically made his patron himself.

7:10 the seemingly bottomless pit of magic originally stems from the (true)dragon he ate. true dragons in tensura being something akin to natural forces given form and mind

I'm surprised that druid's wildshape or polymorph wasn't mention in the video since he was able to take the forms and traits of monsters he eaten really early in the story. With the trait part being done with magic works but I understand ignoring wildshape/polymorph since Rimuru mainly used it as an intimidation tool.

I am once again, suggesting content involving "Mutants and Masterminds" With your creativity you could make builds that go insane.

I'd go with the Draconic Sorcerer - Wizard Bladesinger multiclass, but thanks for the ideas

This is fantastic. I would like to request Archer EMIYA too. I like seeing everyone's take on how to build him. I came away with Bard sorcerer being one option and blade singer being another.

Thank you ever so much! I wasn't expecting this, but I am so happy you did this!

7:58 SPOILERS for the tensura(slime) light novel you have no idea how fitting it is to give rimuru divine soul

I know how long it's been since this was posted, but a funny little thing for mid level campaigns, would be abberant mind sorcerer, specifically it's 6th level feature Psionic Sorcery, allowing you to cast any of the spells from your Psionic Spells list, which you can swap out with other divination/enchantment wizard,sorcerer or warlock spells every level up, for sorcery points equal to it's level.

I would have homebrewed an attack called "Predator", based on his skill, it lets you eat any monster with less than 10 hp if you get close enough

Great Sage, especially after her evolution to Raphael, is actually a self-aware quantum supercomputer. The closest equivalents to Pact Magic in Tensura are Spiritual Magic and Holy magic. For spiritual magic a summoner makes a contract with an elemental spirit and can then use the spirit's power as their own. Spiritual Magic unlike Aspectual Magic (elemental magic) actually obeys scientific laws rather than warping them. Holy Magic works based on faith in a higher power (note: the higher power does not need to be divine in nature despite the name of the magic), allowing you to draw upon your patron's power to cast Holy Magic rather than your own internal reserves. Rimuru wasn't able to use Holy Magic (or in D&D terms, Divine Magic) until later post-where the anime currently is. His ability to regenerate is an intrinsic skill (biological ability) for Slimes while his ability to create healing potions is the result of a creative combination of Predator/Gluttony/Beelzebuth and Great Sage/Raphael's sub-skills. So he can't actually use Healing magic yet in the anime. Inspiring Leader is actually D&Ds version of Benimaru's Unique Skill Generalissimo (also called Born Leader). Rimuru can use the skill through the use of his skill Food Chain so it's okay for Rimuru to have. Rimuru actually isn't that charismatic, he has a lot of trouble because he's not naturally charismatic (shown whenever he's trying to make deals and treaties with humans and demi-humans like dwarves). Monsters follow Rimuru because of a combination of Rimuru's willingness to name all of his subordinates at risk to himself and because of the law of Survival of the Fittest which all monsters and some other factions obey in Tensura. The Law of Survival of the Fittest is why for example the Kijin and Lizardmen were willing to forgive the Orcs for their sins. Here's a list of Rimuru's skills, spells and arts up until where Season 2 (Volume 6 of the Light Novels) end (Note: Many of these skills are enhanced, modified or combined forms of other skills on this list)(Note 2: I have to give the wiki links because otherwise this list might as be a databook): tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Raphael tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Beelzebuth tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Uriel tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Veldora_(Skill) tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Great_Sage tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Gluttony tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Predator tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Merciless tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Degenerate tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Universal_Sense tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Universal_Shapeshift tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Infinite_Regeneration tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Multilayer_Barrier tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Universal_Thread tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Enhanced_Replication tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Demon_Lord%27s_Haki tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Spatial_Motion tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Magic_Manipulation tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Flame-Thunder tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Self-Regeneration tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Ultraspeed_Regeneration tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Flame tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Thunder tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Lightning tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Magic_Aura tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Gravity_Manipulation tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Molecular_Manipulation tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Sticky-Steel_Thread tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Steel_Strength tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Strengthen_Body tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Ranged_Barrier tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Magic_Sense tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Sense_Soundwaves tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Sense_Heat_Source tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Keen_Smell tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Telepathy tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Thought_Communication tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Poisonous_Breath tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Paralyzing_Breath tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Body_Armor tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Ultrasonic_Waves tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Starved tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Abnormal_Condition_Resistance tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Cold_Resistance tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Corrosion_Resistance tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Electricity_Resistance tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Heat_Resistance tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Holy_Attack_Resistance tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Magic_Resistance tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Paralysis_Resistance tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Physical_Attack_Resistance tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Pierce_Resistance tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Poison_Resistance tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Spiritual_Attack_Resistance tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Thermal_Fluctuation_Resistance tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Abnormal_Condition_Nullification tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Natural_Effects_Nullification tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Pain_Nullification tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Thermal_Fluctuation_Nullification Skills Obtained from Gluttony and Beelzebuth's Food Chain sub-skill (Note: Many of these are redundant due to being created within their user's souls due to their connection with Rimuru and Rimuru already having a superior version listed above): tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Analyst tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Gourmet tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Investigator tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Researcher tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Cook tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Divine_Berserker tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Divine_Craftsman tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Generalissimo tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Guardian tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Magic_Wolf_King tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Magic_Wolf_Summon tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Manufacturer tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Martial_Master tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Reverser tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Shadow_Striker tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Divine_Strength Rimuru's Arts (Note: Arts are what techniques are called in Tensura) Storm Magic (This was gained when Veldora named Rimuru and was incorporated into the Ultimate Skill Veldora, Lord of Storms) -Death-Calling Wind -Storm of Destruction -Black Lightning -Black Fire -Storm Blast tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Elemental_Magic (also called Aspectual Magic) tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Magic#Spiritual_Magic tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Summoning_Magic tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Megiddo tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Battlewill -Aura Slash (気斬?): One of the most basic but also most deadly attacks within battlewill’s arsenal. The user launches their aura outwards from their weapon as a projectile. -Aura Sword (闘気剣オーラソード ōra sōdo, lit. "Fighting Aura Sword"?): The user coats their weapon in aura using modelwill, this boosts the weapon's durability and damage potential drastically. -Formhide (隠形法おんぎょうほう ongyouhō, lit. "Hiding Method"?): Allows the user to hide their presence and form. -Haze (朧 Oboro?): Formhide pushed to it's absolute limit. The Art works in stages, First, you rid yourself of any sound, then wipe away any smell and disguise your temperature, before finally wiping away your aura and spirit. The end result makes the user undetectable even to things such as Magic Sense. The only way to counter is pure intuition. -Instantmove (瞬動法 lit. "Instant Movement Method"?): Allows the user to rapidly increase their speed for a single movement, allowing for an almost teleportation-like effect visually. -Magic Bullet (魔力弾 maryokudan, lit. "Magic Power Bullet"?): The user gathers their aura and surrounding magicules to form a dense ball of energy before firing at their target. One of the most basic arts but extremely versatile and scales to the user's power. -Modelwill (気操法 lit. "Aura Manipulation Method"?): A fundamental technique that allows the user to create constructs out of their aura. They can also create bubbles able to encase objects, magic, or the effects of skills within. tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Hazy_Style tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Mystic-Art tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Flare_Circle tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Hell_Flare Other Abilities: -Expert Swordsman -Great Sage/Raphael prevents Rimuru's deep psyche from being interfered with, which blocks attempts to read their mind or memories even by beings such as True Dragons. -Special Soul: It has been stated that Rimuru's soul is extraordinarily strong on several occasions (This being the entire reason Primordial Daemons like Diablo would follow him), And according to Veldora, Rimuru is the only person to have ever reincarnated across worlds into a fully magic body while also retaining all of their memories.

I think Rimuru should be a Draconic Warlock (Since Veldora is the one who give him power/name. Maybe a little homebrew) and Aberrant Mind Sorcerer (Great Sage was there since he was a slime)

Warlock (Great Old One Patron) + Divine Soul Sorcerer is a great Multiclass build for Rimuru. I don’t agree with going good though. That is the more Angelic path. Rimuru was a Demon Lord for crying out loud. He would be more like an evil path. Even if he wasn’t innately evil.

If we're talking about strictly mechanics I think winged tiefling with infernal Constitution would fit Rimaru Tempest vary well

Great Sage could be a sentient magic item like "Profesor Orb" or "Docent" (but without the race prerequisite).

Discord notification told me 😂😂

I’d love to hear your thoughts on a Cid Kageno/Shadow build from the eminence in shadow and while I like this build I’m a bit disappointed that you didn’t put anything for his swordsmanship. I understand that Rimuru is mainly a caster but he isn’t lacking in sword skills either making him more of a magic swordsman but that said I understand that the rules cannot really allow you to do everything and this is a great example of Rimuru for dnd.

I rolled a Nat 20 on my history check to recall the location of a beholder, the bard convinced him to go against "the ooze who claims to be stronger than him", once the magic is gone, let martials of the party shine. If it bleeds, we can kill it, if it doesn't we can find a way.

He'll do natsu one day... one day...

Glad I found (and decided to watch) this. I have a dragon character that's meant to be like a divine mage of sorts, with a wide selection of spells and nearly limitless uses, while still being decent in close combat or stealth situations. This vid gives me some better ideas for accurately putting him in D&D, though it won't quite be a carbon copy of this Rimuru build.

a build on Darkstalkers characteres like Jeda Dohma will be very welcoming, also nice build!

Technically speaking you couldn't use catnap with this because 1st of all its a spell that's magically puts you to sleep, which you can't do, second of all it's concentration and if you fall asleep whilst casting it your concentration would run out, so you can't use it on yourself

This is so helpful! Is there also a lv1 version of the character sheet? I'm not to familiar with warlocks and sorcerers, so having a lv1 version instead of skimming the lv20 document and cutting out the non needed stuff would be real helpful.

This is a fire build bro 10/10

Nat 20 on being the cutest monster ever

my friend will love it

I actually already have a Rimuru build and I went with a Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer with one level in Fighter to be able to use a sword.

Great video, could you do Gilgamesh - Archer from Fate/Stay please.

One of this days I think a hero system so you can go hard on this broken characters that are built better for that system

You should try making the lamb from Cult of the Lamb!

Making Rimuru his own patron makes sense if you read all of the light novel chapters, lmao

The thing is, you still need to take a long rest or you take a point of exhaustion. The invocation says you don't need sleep, but you still need a long rest because you're not immune to exhaustion. Sorcerer warlock can't be the coffeelock not even RAW. Still a good multiclass though

Plssss do John Constantine

I wanna know what you can do with the globs you can manipulate

Can't wait for the Natsu and Elric brothers builds to arrive someday Now I'm hoping to see Erza Scarlet and Shinra Kusekabe:3

Hi I was wondering if you could build a D&D character for “Kumoko's” from “So I'm a Spider, So What?”(manga/anime)

next build should be erza scarlet from fairy tail or sabretooth from marvel

Would you be able to make a madara build? This build is awsome btw

Fun fact: Rimeru is super intellegent.

Nice,but if the DM don't allows Coffeelock how to pull this of?

why not Dark Schneider from Bastard !

or puck from gargoyles

🥑

What’s with the background images

Hey! I'm in this video!

my only problem is that theres nothing in dnd that could act as Beelzebub or predator for those who haven't gotten far in the series.

So glad errata killed coffeelock.

You should do yuri from kyo Kara maoh

Please can you do an Asura from Asura's Wrath build in DnD?

It would be awesome if you finished out DC comics big three and made Wonder woman in D&D.

I have a few problems with this build and ways to fix them. 1st: Ok Aspect of the Moon is useless it specifically states you don't need to sleep. In DnD there is a ruling that just because your character doesn't need to sleep doesn't mean they don't need to take a rest, aka a long rest. Fix: Just be a 9th level Divine Soul Sorcerer, take the Greater Restoration Spell and use it to get rid of your level of Exhaustion after you don't rest for the evening very simple however it does mean it takes a little bit longer to get the Sorlock active. This variant of Sorlock is actually referred to as the Cocainelock. 2nd: Catnap is useless, sure it allows you to get a Short Rest in just 10 minutes. Guess what, it only works once per long rest meaning once you use that spell you can never use it again meaning that guess what you have wasted a spell that you can know as again guess what as a Sorcerer you only get 15 spells. Fix: Don't take the Catnap spell and replace it with counterspell so that we can replicate the magic jammer skill that Rimuru gets later on. Also start off with Divine Soul Sorcerer go 9 levels into it and then take 1 level in Warlock either Great Old One or Hexblade, only choose Hexblade if you're looking for complete and utter optimization but for flavour I would pick Great Old One as inherently a Cocainelock is the epidemy of optimization and when you play one the DM and everyone at the table will either hate you or enjoy the time you guys play together depending on how that group works. A cool build idea for Rimuru I like is 16 Level Divine Soul Sorcerer/2 Great Old One Warlock/2 Fighter STR: 8 DEX: 13 + 1 = 14 CON: 13 + 1 = 14 INT: 9 WIS: 14 CHA: 15 + 1 = 16 Fighter gives us action surge which is an ability that recovers on a short rest and gives us an additional action so that with a first action we could say cast fireball and our second one we can cast blink. Granted we do only get 1 use however with this in mind we could put on breast plate so that our AC would be 16 since breastplate has a base of 14 and allows us to add our DEX mod at a max of +2. We could take a shield as well giving us 18 AC and we haven't even talked about magic items but I'm getting ahead of myself. Since you start off with sorcerer your saving throw proficiencies will be for CON and CHA not Since you start off with sorcerer your saving throw proficiencies will be for CON and CHA not since you start off with sorcerer your saving throw proficiencies will be for CON and CHA and not CHA and WIS you will have better concentration saves. Since you're starting off with 9 levels of Sorcerer you can get your CHA to 20 much faster. You can get your CHA to 20 at 8th level. At 10th level you'll be ready to start off the process for infinite magic, start off simply by taking short rests when your party is taking long rests to just have more spell slots than your party. Once you get some downtime(preferably a week or longer) that's when you simply lock yourself in your room until you are forced to leave by your party and just so that you don't have to do the calculations for a week of downtime just ask your DM if you could have infinite spell slots as you would probably have so many that it would be like having an infinite amount(sadly not quite at most you can get 25 5th level slots and 1 1st level slot and that would leave you without any sorcery points so you might as well just only take 24 by the way this isn't calculating the 7 you have to take away for not sleeping so you have about 17 after taking away(by the way I'm doing this calculations based on when you're level 10)) 5th level slots or try to separate the spell slots so that you have more of each level. I know this build seems slow and that's because it is, you can't really gain infinite spell slots quickly in DnD 5e due to the whole stipulation. However if you get a whole year of downtime that is amazing as then you could make the argument that you could have so many spell slots I might as well put down infinite(you get about 886 5th level spells slots and yes this time it is including the 365 you have to subtract and again this is going off if you're level 10)

Definitely rolled a nat one on this one. I have no idea who this is and this anime just leaves me confused

Would you ever consider doing kumoko from im a spider so what?
