nice, now do Isabelle

Doomslayer be like: hm. yes I see. this demon is made out of demon.

You know, you should do a "How to play Isabelle" video. So many D&D characters focus on fighting, monster slaying, and loot gathering. Not enough bother with real challenges like helping run a small town.

Something tells me that Doom Slayer can have a little healing...as a treat.

"I think that means halfling..." me: spits coffee on keyboard.

"doomslayer can have a little bit of healing... as a treat" i dunno just what it is about this line and it being repeated that i find so funny, but it is. thank you

Literally I can’t live in a world where Isabelle and doom slayer aren’t best friends if doom slayer is in smash they better reference it

"A minimum of 3 C's with that Thiccc." Proceeds to only put 2 in the word.

HOW DARE YOU NOT MAKE THE DOOM SLAYER A BARBARIAN!! THIS MAKES ME MAD!! BEYOND REASON!! AAAAAHHHHH!!!! ALSO MAKES ME HELP IN THE ALGORITHM!!! AAAAHHHH!!!!!

"You are the personification of rage made to slay demons. I think that means halfling but we're going scourge aasimar to bump our dps" I was legitimately drinking soda when you said that and now my screen is covered in pepsi

To apply logic to hexblade: the crucible & argent energy itself seem to have a will of their own, sentient weapon patron confirmed

Probably someone said this before me. Since Isebelle is a playable character in the fighting game Smash Bros, it is possible to create a D&D character based on her.

Tulok: You don't have many spell slots. Doomguy: I'm sorry, but I cannot hear you over the sound of my Flexible casting and fast recharging spell slots.

In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened... Personally, I originally saw The Doom Slayer as having a dip into Zealot Barbarian, but this works.

"You get Light, which is redundant because of the darkvision" Not really. Darkvision only lets you see in grays. You still need light to discern color.

Could you make "How to play blastoise"? Tortle artificer with eldritch cannons on his shell maybe?

Why did I know that it was going to be Doomslayer? Well nevermind. This is an awesome build! And now I'm hyped for a Spawn build.

THIS WAS A REALLY GOOD ISABELLE VIDEO! I'M PROBABLY GOING TO MESS AROUND WITH THIS FOR MY OWN STUFF! P.S: SORRY FOR THE YELLING! BUT IF IT GRANTS YOU MORE OF THE ALGORITHM'S FAVOR THEN I'LL DO IT!

You forgot to mention that Doomslayer can have a little healing, as a treat.

"There's not a background for-" "Now there is"

I was literally thinking that it would be cool if Doomguy would be in DnD this morning. More like Tulok the Prophet. Keep up the good work!

Honestly, having Isabelle be a utility character would be super fun and Awsome to see your creativity come out for a character that may not focus on just trying to max out their combat potental

Something interesting about Doom Slayer: he is confirmed to actually be a celibate Catholic.

Demons: Boy, I really enjoy being alive Doomguy: exists Demons: Shit

"You need to know your enemy before you can *blow your enemies*"

I have a request! “Top 10 most OP characters I’ve ever made” OR “Most broken power hungry party I can make”

*Obligatory "Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate Abridged" comment here.*

Isabelle: *this pleases me very much*

Do the Space Marines of Warhammer 40k that all I'm going say

...I literally commented "Doom Slayer When" on the Yugi video. I was being sarcastic.

"... just like a game without interesting new subclasses." Barbrarian savagery is my favorite savagery.

"300 pounds of pissed off in a 200 pound meatsack" is the most perfect summary of the Slayer ever

Dammit! I just joined a Descent Into Avernus campaign yesterday! I wonder if the DM will let me switch away from my tempest cleric...?

Me a few hours ago: Tulok should do doomguy Me now: Can I see into the future?

I was just expecting a straight oath of vengeance paladin, I got something better

If you're relying on heavy armor as a Doomslayer, you're doing something wrong. First line of defense, don't get hit, second, armor, third, health, forth, rip and tear, last, be so angry that you refuse to die. To that end, Dex, Con, Str, Wis, Cha, then Int, for AC++, HP, carry weight/melee, will save, intimidate, and because his solution to everything is just breaking shit. As for abilities, none of them are innate besides a slightly above average punch and uncompromising rage, they're just tools. To that end make him Human, because that's what he is, give him Tavern Brawler for those above average punches and glory kills, and Crossbow Expert for point blank rapid fire xbow, Sharpshooter for why the fuck not, Eldritch Knight for normal Fighter stuff and Magic Item Attunement, and Berserker for Mindless Rage. The rest is external, be it magic weapons, wands, runes, or even his healing which comes from the Praetor armor or health packs. So assuming level 20 cap, 14 Eldritch Knight / 6 Berserker with a bunch of magic items/wands is how Doomslayer is meant to be played. Because lets be frank, he's not Doomslayer if he's getting scared or mind controlled by demons.

yes, i can finally go on a blind rampage and kill everything in my path, and scare every cleric in a 5 island area Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on the stibbles codex of companions? Nero from dmc5 in DND, i live and breathe for the dmc franchise

For a doomslayer build, I would imagine going human variant (tavern brawler). Then going in the least likely direction of artificer for your (cantrips for different damage types{tangent: get booming blade and green flame blade for your punches) guns and (spells and actual thrown weapons {tangent idea for you: get alchemist fire,caltrops, and lantern oil. Combined together and tied with rope makes a mean Molotov cocktail}) grenades. Get to 3rd lvl for your doom slayer armor with the UA Armorer subclass. Go with guardian for even better punches and temp hp. Swap to paladin for the next 3 lvls for smites, fighting style, health, and go vengeance for your vow of enmity. Now swap back to artificer for you sick abilities but thats about it, perhaps a look at magic initiate wizard for extra guns but yeah.

Hell yeah! Been waiting for this build! Nice job!

I love your work, and I am a bit late to the party here. I also love the story of doom. I also wrote up a character sheet for mr. doomy-doom doom man doom. It's a bit different from what you show here, I hope that you think it is up to par. Text wall ahead. Before we begin, a couple of caveats. I like giving wiggle room for character creation. With that in mind, I'll be including some of my own house rules for character creation in this build. These include the following: -When multi-classing, you get 1 of the class's skill proficiencies. -You get two extra feats from the get-go. -You can use any of the supplementary materials for 5e to realize your build. With all that out of the way, let's get started! For stats, I'll be using the standard point array as a base. We're gonna dump Intelligence because, while the character isn't an idiot, a lot of the things he does don't require the thinky-thinky. The starting stat array is as follows: STR 15 DEX 14 CON 10 INT 8 WIS 12 CHA 13 For the race, I chose Variant Human, giving +1 to Strength and Wisdom. Now we can already multiclass into all the necessary classes. Chosen languages are Common and Dwarven (Don't know why Dwarven, he doesn't talk a lot, but hey, more languages.) For the feat, I chose Tough to make up for the lacking Constitution at this point. That will be fixed later on. Skill proficiency, choose Investigation. This guy may not do a whole lot of thinking, but he's good at finding secrets. For Background, I chose Haunted One from Curse of Strahd. Skill Proficiencies are Religion and Survival. For the flavor of the trinket, I chose Rabbit's Foot. Haunted One has a feature called Heart of Darkness. It's flavor suggests that people are just automatically afraid of you. If there were such a thing, I would say that that sounds like passive intimidation. If such a thing were to exist, I'd say that it would be calculated as 10+ your Intimidation modifier. People run when they see this guy. For the last bit of pre-class character prep, let's choose the 2 house-rule feats. I choose Crossbow Expert and Magic Initiate. For Initiate, I chose the Sorcerer spell list to get the Firebolt and Sword Burst cantrips and the 1st level Chaos Bolt spell. Now on to the build proper. We start this big boy off with Paladin, getting his gear. His weapons are a hand axe, hand crossbow, and heavy crossbow. The Skill Proficiencies from this are Athletics and Intimidation. Paladin level 1 gets Divine Sense and Lay on Hands. Basically you have a healing pool and you can smell when some higher or lower power is near. Spoiler alert: This guy isn't known for healing people. 2nd level of Paladin gets us spellcasting, Divine Smite, and a fighting style. The style I chose for this was Close Quarters Shooter from Unearthed Arcana. This removes the disadvantage of shooting something between the eyes at point-blank, allows you to ignore partial cover, and gives you +1 to ranged attack rolls. Divine Smite allows you to expend spell slots to add radiant damage to your weapon attacks. The damage is 2d8+1d8 for every level above 1st, and there is a bonus 1d8 if you hit an undead or fiend. As for spells, I'll cover them all in a lump at the end. 3rd level Paladin gets Divine Health, granting disease immunity, and the Paladin's Oath. This boy has the Oath of Vengeance. Oath of Vengeance gets access to some extra spells that suit the revenge flavor. We won't be using too many of these, though. This also gets you your Channel Divinity with Abjure Enemy and Vow of Enmity. Abjure Enemy puts the fear of God - or of you - into your enemies within 60ft of you if they fail a Wisdom Save, making them unable to move and shit themselves until they take damage. Vow of Enmity lets you get advantage to attack a visible target within 10 ft. Next we start Multiclassing. Time for the first level of Ranger. House rules, we take skill proficiency in Animal Handling. The guy may be a walking apocalypse, but he's got a soft spot for the cute and fuzzies. First level of Ranger gets Favored Enemy and Natural Explorer. Explorer has a lot of helpful things for traveling, like ignoring difficult terrain, having advantage in initiative rolls, and a whole bunch of other goodies, I advise checking it out if you don't know Rangers. Favored Enemy lets you select a type of enemy to gain bonuses against. Our choice is Undead. The bonuses you get to them are +2 to weapon damage, advantage on survival checks when tracking them, and Intelligence checks to know about them. You also gain proficiency in another language associated with your favored creature, if they have one, or just another language. We'll go with Abyssal, I suppose because it kinda makes sense flavor-wise. 2nd level we get another fighting style, went with Archer. You gain a +2 to ranged weapon attack rolls. You also get Ranger spellcasting. Ranger Level 3 gets us Primeval Awareness and the Ranger Conclave of our choice. Primeval awareness allows you to understand the needs and feelings of your fuzzy friends as well as sense the presence of your favored enemy and learn information about them if they are within 5 miles of you. For the Conclave we are selecting the Monster Slayer. This conclave also gets some interesting extra spells, but again, they won't be seeing all that much use. Monster Slayers get Hunter's Sense and Slayer's Prey. Hunter's Sense lets you figure out how to hurt things better and Slayer's Prey lets you hurt things HARDER. We're going to multiclass again into Fighter. House rules, we get our final skill proficiency, Perception. Immediately, we get our third and final Fighting Style. We're taking Unarmed Fighting from Unearthed Arcana. You punch as hard as swords swing and suplex harder. You can also punch things you've got grappled even harder. You also get Second Wind, letting you stay alive that much longer. 2nd level of Fighter gives us Action Surge, letting you take more actions. 3rd level of Fighter gives the Martial Archetype, I chose Battle Master because this guy schmoves. Battle Master gets Student of War - proficiency with artisan's tools of your choice, I chose cartography because again, finding secrets (though yes you could go with Caligraphy tools) - and Combat Superiority. This give you access to Maneuvers and Superiority Die - in our case d8's - to do those Maneuvers with. We'll go with Lunging Attack, Maneuvering Attack, and Riposte. It's all about the Schmovin' and Groovin', if by "Groovin'" you mean "Maiming horribly", that is. I advise looking up maneuvers if you want to learn more. For the next 3 levels, you could take the 4th level of any of the classes in any order. This give a whopping 3 Ability Score Increases. We'll use this to get Wisdom, Charisma, and Constitution all up to 14. Finally, some constitution. We are also never touching Fighter again. 5th level of both Paladin and Monster Slayer Ranger give Extra Attack, so we're taking them for the next 2 levels. Hooray for hitting things more in addition to harder and better. We're back to decisions being important again, so we're taking 6th level Ranger's Greater Favored Enemy. If you haven't caught on by now, the next enemy type we choose is Fiends. You now get a +4 to damage on all of our favored enemies, and you gain advantage on saving throws against this enemy type. 7th level of Ranger grants Supernatural Defense. You get a d6 added to your saving throws against targets of your Slayer's Prey ability. Our 8th and final level of Ranger gives us another Ability Score Improvement, putting our Strength up to 18 now, and Fleet of Foot, allowing for the use of the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn. Schmoves. 6th level of Paladin gives us Aura of Protection. A friendly creature within 10ft of you gains +1 or your Charisma mod, whichever is higher, on saving throws while you are conscious. 7th level of Vengeance Paladin grants Relentless Avenger. When you hit with an Opportunity Attack, you can move up to half your speed right afterwards as a reaction. This doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. The final level of this build is 8th level of Paladin, granting the last Ability Score Increase and putting our guy's strength at 20. Beefy boy. Okay, spell list. For Casting ability, you have both Wisdom for Ranger and Charisma for Paladin, but since they are equal for this character, it doesn't really matter. These are the spells I chose for this guy: Detect Good and Evil Hunter's Mark Jump Wrathful Smite Branding Smite Blinding Smite Flame Arrow Lightning Arrow Staggering Smite With all that said and done, let's summarize the character. He's a tough guy that's good at finding secrets, has a soft spot for animals, slays fiends and undead with a vengeance, likes his ranged weapons but is good with his fists, can move around the battlefield, and tears through his hellborne enemies. If you aren't fond of the idea of a crossbow, real ass weapons do exist in this game, they are in the DMG, can't remember what page though. Somewhere to look for a more authentic rip and tear experience.

I was saying this the other day on my friend stream while she was playing her press release version of doom eternal that I was going to make doom guy In DnD So thank you you've made it a lot easier

You could play this as an artificer and multiclass differently depending on the subclass you pick. Your magic items can be stuff you know how to use rather than you made because you just find everything in Doom. If you are allowed homebrew in your game, you can use Matt Mercer's gunslinger subclass. (I know that homebrew isnt used in these videos)

Thanks Tulok! I’ve been waiting for this one!

I’ve been waiting for this build for so long! Keep up the great work!

More like Tulok the Slayer, my god man your slinging these builds out! Y'know, ever since that UA with the fighting style variants came out, I was wondering if their was a way to make a good ol' fashion fist fighter without too much dip into monk. Not sure if you've heard of a little show called Letterkenny, but I think it'd be hilarious if you dropped an episode on the legend that is Wayne, the most rigid, machine-gun chirpin', good old boy in recent history.

An interesting play on this could be going for Celestial Warlock. Yeah you lose the fun Hexblade spells, but you get Shield with Sorc, so it's not all bad. And your healing stuff will be a touch more useful via Divine Soul. So you'll be an Aasimar, with Celestial Chosen heritage in your blood, who's also getting direct aid from your Celestial boss. And you're basically a bit more survivable over hurty.

i figured constitution being highest would be an easy "because you need to be able to rip and tear until it is done"

Its always fun to build the characters with the video...and the commentary is amazing...as a treat

I made a build of DOOM Slayer using magic items, point buy and guns from the source books as a fighter gunslinger. Using online CR calculators he was a CR of 20 AS A PLAYER CHARACTER. That shiz is crazy! Also he dealt like 200 damage a round for two rounds before slowing down and ONLY doing 80 on round 3.

MANCUBUUUUUUUUUUUS Also, DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM Good work, and here's me pretending to be mad about you not going Barbarian.

Rip and tear dude! Awesome build and video! Keep it up and see ya next week

Creative and flavorful build as always!

If you ask me I would've done 14 levels in oath breaker paladin, 4 levels in champion fighter, 1 level in hex blade warlock, and finally 1 level forge cleric. Not necessarily in that order but paladin first lvl.

I’d be very interested to see your take on how to play “The Vessel/Knight/Your PC” from Hollow Knight.

I'm having a rough time of it rn, but that opening put a big dumb smile on my face. Thank ya, man.

I dont binge these videos, but i like to watch them here and there, you know, as a treat.

I think Shovel Knight would be pretty cool in DnD but I have no idea where to start. Does that merit a video?

here's a heckin' hot take: doomguy is a ranger. his favored enemy is fiends and his favored terrain the underdark edit: nevermind, that's dante from devil may cry

I just found this channel and I now want to play dnd even more than I did before. Just hoping that that I will be able to play it soon again

The Isabel joke right off the bat is the exact reason I keep coming back to this channel. Please, never stop and don't change.

Could you do the Mandolorian, please he’s one of my favorite Star Wars characters, and I think he would translate very well into D&D.

"Minimum of three C's on that Thick!" Spells it with only two.

I add a few levels of bard because I like to imagine that the metal music comes from doom slayer himself and the demons fear it getting closer and louder

I’ve been waiting for this one :)

Next on building a character: how to build Filthyfrank in dungeons and dragons.

What?! There’s no levels in Barbarian? How dare you! I hope the KZfaq algorithm prioritizes this video and recommends it to others more!

OHHHH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSS

I've been waiting for this.

I see your poll for Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing, and I raise you Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition.

I kinda feel bad for asking, but could we get some characters from Street Fighter, like maybe Ed from SFV?

Very fun video, thanks!

I've been waiting for this video forever

"roll to yell" *rolls a 13* I AM MAD FOR SOME REASON ABOUT THE THING HE SAID!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YELLING!

*YESSS* I could feel my testosterone levels rise just seeing this notification

Love your video!

This is just beautiful. I'd also suggest Ashley J Williams from Evil Dead for the next slayer kind.

Shit I'm late... Uh, please build Anderson Cooper in DnD!

Stats: Dex: 15 Con: 14 Int: 13 Str: 12 Wis: 10 Cha: 8 Race: Variant Human (+1 Dex +1 Str, Investigation, Crossbow Expert, Soldier Backround) Fighter 18 (FS: Unarmed Fighting, Brute, Focus on Dex and Con, take Tough and Sharpshooter) Artificer 2

I literally was thinking about this the other day!

YELLING AT YOU CAUSE YOU SAID! now with that out of the way, this is nice to know. You know as a treat.

This ain’t the chief how about an arbiter elite build from halo

great video bro love them all. Would love Godzilla or any other kaiju next if you could.

i was just thinking last night that someone should make this, thanks

This...this is beautiful!!

I've been waiting for this one for months

Most important thing I've learned from this video. Doom Slayer can have a bit of healing, as a treat. Also, building Blade would make a great video.

This was a treat.

Just what I was hoping for.

I hate how people assume the slayer is super pissed off all the time, he is not his rage is not a boiling pot but rather a nice simmer. its controlled and focused (Focused on demons) Good on ya for resisting the barbarian

This was interesting I actually kinda like this and want to try it out

honestly i like it better when you forgo the expected classes in favor of something more creative. no anger, i am perfectly satisfied (please do an isabelle build though that would be awesome)

I nearly shat myself when I saw the thumbnail finally!!!

Everything is pretty spot on except for one thing. He's a full blooded human unlike the Night Sentinels of Argent D'nur. Either way I will definitely be adapting this build in my next Campaign! Great work!

Don't tell Tulok, but Doom Eternal confirms DoomSlayer is... a variant human.

I was expecting Barbarian tweaked in a way that somehow uses armor, but this turned out way better. Spells with gun-shaped casting foci is so much better than sorting out actual guns Can't help but occasionally glance at the Path Of The Doom Slayer homebrew subclass I found awhile ago though. Obligatory "Vegeta When"

Oh shit I’m totally going to try this next time I play.

I honestly thought that you could maybe make a paladin based doom slayer, but this is more detailed and accurate.

I would have also added a couple levels in ranger for the preferred enemy and just have a general bonus on fiends

Interesting build. I was fully expecting the UE Armourer Artificer to come after the Rune KNight l evels. Since it gives you the big punchy hits armour, Or the pew pew blaster version As well as the normal blasting spells and heavy crossbows. with the UE lv 6 spell ring that helps a lot too. Granted Eldritch Blast is insanity good. So that sorta makes sense. Although Rune Knight, Armour ARtificer, 2 or 3 Warlock sounds good

excellent build! very neat. need to play a rune knight more.
