My face cam footage seemed to have teleported away just as Nightcrawler would have so no one has to stare at my face this video, but I'll still walk through the full Dungeons and Dragons build for Nightcrawler from X-Men.

For the background I suggest swapping fear for blink
fun fact: Nightcrawler in the finnish translation is literally just called Nightmare (painajainen)
And Nightmare is a play on words monster in DnD Mare as in a female horse, but a Nightmare is like a scary horse.
And if you've seen the '74 version, you hear McQueen say the French word "Cauchemar", which means nightmare and is a more powerful version of the Nightmare.
oh yea nightcrawler build yea
Felt about time
Just saying the new archfey warlock is all about teleports with unique effects that you choose. It fits the vibe of nightcrawler
This build would have access to Pass Without Trace at level 5, as that spell is on the Ranger spell list.
I would say he is more a horn less tiefling than an elf as his father is a demon but Logan does call him elf if I recall lol
Well, not anymore. We know now that his “father” was actually Mystique transformed into a male form
Another awesome build really can’t wait to see the spawn build🤞🤞
Nice build!
So strong with teleportation in fact that I would’ve been happy going Tiefling to get the tail, but really works either way.
~_~
Very cool take on nightcrawler. I think with the new phb coming out soon I may try this with a shadow monk.
When the new phb comes out I may wind up redoing a lot of builds with all the new mechanics coming
See, I was thinking shadow monk too rather than cleric, but I couldn't remember what level you get the shadow teleports
@@dndbuilds And I'll be tuning in to watch all of them
This definitely seems like a perfect fit for Nightcrawler
Custom Lineage. He's half tiefling, half changling. (Don't ever tell me Mystique was his father!) He could be a hornless tiefling, but none of the other tiefling attributes really fit. Unlike Spider-Man, Kurt isn't primarily known for his wall-crawling, which says to me its situational and thus a spell. Custom not only allows you to choose what he looks like, gets darkvision, and a +2 to an ability score (dexterity), but they get a free feat and fey touched gives you a +1 to Cha and access to misty step at level 1. My build is 10 levels in lore bard and then whatever you want for the other 10 (swashbuckler rogue, battlemaster fighter, etc). 10 lore bard levels get you everything you'd need with 4 magical secrets and some sword skills. At level 3, you can unnerve your opponent with cutting words. (Plus more skills). You also get more uses of Misty Step with second level slots. But it's at level 6 that you take your first step into combat teleportation. Blink allows you to attack, then possibly blink away. Blink will serve us well until level 10 and the final two magical secrets. Along the way, we can dimension door for an escape spell for us and a buddy. But it's at level 10 that we get our true X2 style teleport attack: steel wind strike. With that one spell, you can teleport around the battlefield attacking up to 5 enemies. And for more utility, Far Step. Far Step allows you to teleport every turn. And for long range teleports, Bard gets teleportation circle and later teleport. So maybe lore bard 13 to get everything. After that, if you want extra attack, battlemaster fighter is the best way to get it quick. But really, Kurt doesn't need it.
So it's spider climb and blink at lvl 6 and Far Step and Steel Wind Strike at level 10.
I did a nightcrawler as a tiefling (he got the charming ability instead of his standard 3rd level ability from SCAG) arcane trickster rogue and Bladesinger wizard multiclass, because while it's a ability he can naturally do he Hanes it through study and learning at the school which screamed wizard to me, plus a bladesong and him being impossible hit also felt like teleportation to me
Incredible job with the build as always. Nightcrawler is far and away, my fave X-man. Not taking Tiefling is sad, but Logan calls him "Elf" *all the time.* The only other thing I'd change would be his fighting style. Kurt *loves* Errol Flynn, and is absolutely a rapier (Saber) Duelist. His AC is all dex based and his suit is not very armored, so Defense falls a bit flat for the aesthetic.
Horizon Walker is an inspired choice. Glad to see his Cleric levels coming into play too. Love this build
I always liked the WIS based Nightcrawler but the lack of Far-Step was annoying when I built it. I wonder if it could get added to the Horizon Walker list when it inevitably gets reprinted.
I personally settled on Shadar-Kai.
There's also arguments for CHA based Sword Bard/Sorcerer or INT for Bladesinger/Rogue along with reflavouring Echo Knight.
But your outside the box thinking with the background probably makes this my favourite build for Kurt.
Excellent video
I’m definitely going to try this
The Nightcrawler build I was thinking was:
Race- Kor; due to the climbing speed that does not require an ability check to climb.
The Kor also has a "Lucky" trait that will assist in the long run. Also, with a good combo with the spell Blink & Far Step during combat. And Kor Climbling; has proficiency to Althetics & Arcobatics
I was thinking for my idea will be:
Sorcerer lvl. 9 Shadow Magic- for the spell list to 5th Level
Rogue lvl. 7 Swashbuckler- Sneak Attacks if you're in a crowd fight
Monk lvl. 4 Way of the Shadow- for Stealth and blend in w/ the dark
Would adding the Dhampir lineage to your eladrin speices add more or less to this build
Cool build! Live the channel, lots of fun and very creative. I (mostly) play Adventurers League so I'd have to modify this a little bit, but definitely send doable and would be hella fun popping all over the gameboard with all that teleporting! Plus I love playing Rangers and hadn't thought about using the Horizon Walker before. Bravo
I went Dhampir, rogue (wraith blade), Monk (Kensei).
Feats: defensive duelist, dual weapons
I would've gone with a dhampir for spiderclimb then go with a swords bard/shadow sorcerer.
Oh cool :D we both did a night crawler build :D
damn you're right, but your thumbnail is so much cooler than mine... kind of jealous
@@dndbuilds What!? Nah man yours is great >:3 very cool so see we went down completely different routes too :o
I was thinking about a suggestion for a possible build based on Madoka from the Madoka Magica series, it's a half-assed idea but hey I don't lose anything by leaving the suggestion, good video
DnD Builds! Yous a B.A.M.F (Badass Mfer)
Well thank you!
So I just want to let you know that I had a session last Thursday and I rolled three Nat 20s in that session. First one was the first roll of the session and the other two were two in a row in a combat encounter. In that campaign I’m playing my Shield Hero inspired character and he has the build like you did for Naofumi in your channel. I also have a home brew mechanic that I have in addition to his build. My DM was completely cool with the idea. We are level 7 in the campaign now. Just a shoutout to you about that.
While you don't fight with someone with the centinel feat, this build is pretty fun to play.
You hav done the besta tank and best archer builds, can you talk about a definitive spear user guide?
How about building Maximillian from Dark Cloud 2? Looking forward to more of your builds. Subscribed.
This is an odd one.
I would have thought Tiefling, but the winter elf thing made sense.
The custom background kind of makes sense, but I think it would have been more consistent to have gone with Acolyte or Entertainer.
I understand the use of Ranger to get certain abilities, but I don't think it makes much sense for the character. I think a mix of Bard (College of Swords), Sorcerer (representing mutant powers...probably Shadow or Wild Magic for the subclass), and maybe a little bit of Cleric (Peace domain makes the most character sense, I think...though it doesn't get you anywhere with powers).
Spring eladrin has some pretty cool potential, too.
Lore Bard is better than Horizon Walker. True, you can attack four people (while hasted) with distant attack. But Steel Wind Strike is better. And Bard gets you more spell slots as a primary spellcaster.
Along the teleportation vein, perhaps you'd consider covering Magick (Illyana Rasputina) soon!
I think for my own build I’d make a small change and swap out Aladrin for Shadar Kai
I wonder would the mark of the passage human be a better race choice you get misty step a dimension door 5 lvl regardless of class. I also suggest the rewarded background pick up the “Skilled feat” from it and pick religion acrobatics and whatever else.
Why have I not heard about steel wind strike until now? I didn't finish reading xanathars. I need to get on that.
Probably because it's only on the Wizard and Ranger spell lists, and the only wizards who would probably take it are Bladesingers
@@dndbuilds needs to be on magical rogue so bad. Multiclass is the best we get i guess.
Why not a shadar-kai for race?
Hear me out. Rellana, Twin Moon Knight build from the new elden ring dlc
14:46 My brother in Christ (pun intended), Nightcrawler is canonically Catholic. He'd probably worship Pelor, or Ilmater
YES FINALLY 😂
I want another teleporting x-man, Magik
Finally
Escanor from Seven Deadly Sins
I can’t remember, can he trap people in the brimstone dimension when he teleports? I’m not sure if he’s ever done that in the comics, but if he can, is there a spell that’s similar?
Love Nightcrawler, but what videogame ware you playing where it was Nightcrawler vs Venom?
Just realized it's Contest of Champions
Pls do Carmen Sandiego!!!!(netflix seiries)
Idk the new barbarian subclass the worldtree for the new player handbook is perfect it's almost literally a nightcrawler class
I don't really have a ton to go off of with that yet, as soon as it gets officially printed I'm sure I would use it. The only other thing is that I don't see nightcrawler as much of a barbarian
@dndbuilds no yeah I agree. character wise, definitely not, but the ability to teleport around every bonus action and even teleport 6 party members at once screams nightcrawler. But I agree he is definitely not a barbarian.
Do we know if the patreon background is useable in dndbeyond?
I set it up as a homebrew background that's accessible as part of the character sheet. If there's more I need to do to make it available I'm happy to do so
@@dndbuilds Gotcha gotcha! Nightcrawler is my all time favorite X-man! I can't support your patreon at this time, but you can bet I'll be back for this fuzzy elf!
@@ultimojo868 I'm happy you're here either way, patreon is a bonus, but if you're viewing my content I'm happy enough
Could you please make Kars from Jojo Bizarre Adventure
Shouldve gone Shadar Kai instead of Eladrin
Eladrins are not depicted in a blueish tint, they change colors depending on their current moods; embodying the seasons. So.. They wouldnt be blue all the time unless they were depressed.
I would like you to build in dnd lelouch from code geass
These videos require so much extra work.... I miss Tulock.
What do you mean by extra work? Just want to understand so I might improve if possible
@@dndbuilds Well, I haven't seen the entirety of this video, so my issues are probably not in this, but for your Erza Scarlet video, you forgot her Skills. In Wonder Woman's video you forgot to address some of her other racial qualities and which version of Protector Aasimar you are using and while I love Kobolds, the Agrretsuko build was..... well a player would need to fill in a LOT of blanks. For me this stuff can be a headache. Not dealbreakers, but could be more thorough.
@@dndbuilds Thankfully, most of these problems are not in this video!😁
@@Ubermensch9240 that's some great feedback, thanks I'll try to keep that in mind for some future videos
@@dndbuilds Yeah.... your Flash build was hard to follow.
I, like a lot of people, stopped taking the books seriously as soon as Disney took over and started crapping all over the established lore thus losing readers and Thanos snapping comic shops across the country with the non-existent sales.
