"Watch your DM explain why the barbarian king also had plane shift" That line is gold.
He didn't till your character used it to him
Good news gang! All of you level up while I eat this pint of ice cream and contemplate my life choices! :/
“What’s wrong? Afraid of the light?”
“What’s wrong?! AFRAID OF THE DARK?!!!”
*Hunger of Hadar followed by Hurl through Hell.
>kalashtar
I will never cease to appreciate the potency of the “Hurl Through Hell” ability.
Certain high-level warlock subclasses get a lot of flak for their effectiveness...but THAT one never gets old.
Plot twist, Raven studies magic and has a spellbook, so she'd actually probably be a combo Wizard/Sorcerer or Wizard/Warlock. However, considering how powerful her magic becomes, Warlock wouldn't really work since she's got to have dem 9th-level spells. I propose an alternate build. Int 15, Cha 14, Con 13, Wis 12, Dex 10, Str 08. Fallen Aasimar (Tiefling fits heritage better but Fallen Aasimar fits appearance better) can be justified since Trigon's father was a deity, though Tiefling can also fit depending on your disposition. Inheritor, Hermit and Haunted One are also viable backgrounds due to her past before joining the team. The build will have to worry about multiclassing Wizard and Sorcerer, making you versatile but weak in the early game as you take 1 (UA Aberrant Mind can work since Trigon's an alien, but Shadow works too) Sorcerer level followed immediately by 1 Wizard level. This gives you the spellbook early on, but most of your spells that you don't hunt down for the book will be Sorcerer, so choosing wisely is an absolute must. You take 17 more levels of Sorcerer before your final level in Wizard to get two free 9th-level spells in your book and a subclass of your choice, I recommend Divination for the free re-rolls. At level 4 you take Magic Initiate for Warlock's Eldritch Blast and another cantrip you missed with the rest of the build, as well as to grab Hex or Cause Fear. At level 8 you take War Caster, then the rest are score improvements. Boom, alternate build. Either one can work really, they satisfy different parts of what makes Raven good as a mage.
Biggest obvious weakness of the build is two different spellcasting scores to worry about, so you probably won't be the best at either score. Then there's the obvious problem that all Wizard/Sorcerers share, low physical stats. Aberrant Mind and having the Shield spell can help being dodgy, but at most this will probably give AC of 18 without magic items improving it. Given she always wears her iconic robes, they could be a magic item such as a Robe of the Magi, but that would be separate from the build itself, since even the Inheritor background should be used for the markings she has that are invisible until the late-game Trigon arc.
Why not set her as a Sorlock instead? Even if she does study her magic, most of it still stems from her emotions and demonic bloodline. Enter Shadow Sorc 17 and Fiend Warlock 3 and boom
You could also get her a spellbook as a warlock with pact of the tome.
Fun fact: the Fierna subrace is in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, so that and other Tiefling subraces are official material now.
UPDATE: I watched this video again and had to look up something afterward. The Empathic feat is Unearthed Arcana material. This isn't a bad thing, but if you want to keep it AL-legal, you'll have to pick something else. I recommend War Caster due to so many spells relying on saves to work right.
Adventure's League is garbage, anyway.
Another option: Trigon is DC's closest equivalent to Asmodeus, who is actually a god. Raven's mother is also some form of angelic (celestial) being, so a Fallen Aasimar Divine Soul Sorcerer would work too, just make the deity evil for Inflict Wounds.
Actually, Arella Roth was human.
@cak01vej just pointing out he thought Arella was an angel.
....I like the idea.
Although. I just want to point out, Asmodeus is a Devil. Not just a Devil, Asmodeus is THE Devil. He's the big dad of the Nine Hells.
If nothing else, Raven *_would_* be more like a reflavored Tiefling.
Lmao that Simple Plan in the beginning. So fitting.
I think warlocks are becoming my favorite class.
Mikey's my favorite but I'm gonna have to vote for Raph. I neeeeeeeeed to see a barbarian monk who only uses daggers.
90% of my editing time was making that lip sync (kind of) work. I'm glad it worked out. :)
It was fantastic!
I think Pact of the Tome would fit Raven more than the Chain, unless I missed the reason you chose Chain.
To get the shadowy raven familiar.
Yet that can still be done with the Book of Shadows warlock option. Get the Find Familiar ritual. BOOM.
Tome does seem like the best
Personally I would have gone Warlock/Shadow Sorcerer multiclass
@HuffmanTeamGaming I haven't seen anything in 5E rules about that; you must play with strict DMs. 5E didn't carry over the v3.5 mechanic of the XP penalty for multiclassing into more than one class due to "favored classes", meaning that you can build a character that has three (maybe even more) classes if you really want to without penalty. You'd have to have one heck of an unorthodox build for that, but it can be done in 5E.
I would of done pure sorcerer
I would have gone pact of the tome. She's a bookish person with her magic and the familiar is purely for visual affect antway.
I would have done divine soul of evil affinity
@@randomim42 that's a weird take but it makes sense and then you don't need warlock at all because there are quite a few necromancy spells on the cleric spell list and i thought the whole pact whith trigon thing didn't make any sense so this would make a lot more sense lore wise
I feel like people get too hung up on the technicalities in the comments. Yes, Raven's power comes from her heritage and not a contract with Big Daddy Trigon, but ultimately the fiendlock abilities lend themselves very well to her, and it's easier to link directly to the big evil dude than something like Shadow Sorcerer. And besides, lore is all in how the DM receives it.
I just discovered this channel 20 minutes ago and this is the greatest thing
I'm always team CoolButRude. Give me the edgy tortle please.
HOW DID YOU GUESS THE RACE, WHAT?!?
Oh my God. I was like thinking, I wonder how I should build raven...?
Opens youtube and this video came up in my recommendation. Awesome, thank you!
Why wouldn't u give her Devil's Sight so sure can actually take advantage of the darkness she produces?
You're right, Raven gets he powers from her demonic *heritage* not from having cut a deal with her father, whom she hates. She also gets some from having studied in the mystical plane of Azarath. So I would say a combination of Divine Soul Sorcerer and Shadow Path Monk
... I mean, Shadow Sorcerers are also a thing. Not exactly demonic either, but yeah.
For the next character, let's play "Mad Hatter" in Dungeons and Dragons
Episode 26 of the Fire Emblem stats: Rachel Roth.
Raven is best with reason (dark magic obviously) and flight (since she can fly). She has a budding talent in faith because her most powerful form uses light magic. Her weaknesses are in all of the weapons and brawling because she's a purely magic-based fighter.
She has great magic and resistance but she doesn't have much charm due to being stoic nor strength due to not being very punch-happy.
My biggest issue is that her setup doesn't let her see through her own magical darkness because normal darkvision, which she would have as a tiefling, doesn't let her. Probably should have Devil Sight in there somewhere in place of another invocation.
When I was a kid watching Teen Titans, Beast Boy was my favorite, followed by Starfire, then Raven, Cyborg and Robin (I loved them all and still do, but that was the order of my favorites. Looking back on them now, Raven has become my favorite, followed by Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Robin. I found it interesting how Raven and Beast Boy swapped places, and wanted to share. I still love Teen Titans, one of my absolute favorite parts of the DC universe.
This is so awesome! :D The only thing I would've done differently is make her Pact of the Tome and given her a familiar through that along with the Book of Ancient Secrets invocation.
Hell yeahhhhh. I love all of this. Also, you're a bad bad man making me choose between my turtle boys. But I'll have to go with Donny.
He would be interesting (they all would). It really depends what you want to mix with monk, I'm excited to see how these work
I'm kinda addicted to watching these things! Lol
I might have gone Shadow Sorcerer & taken a 3 level dip in Hexblade Warlock and taken Warcaster. Maybe even re-flavored a winged tiefling to get flight earlier and without casting.
Pact of the tome. All I'm gonna say
Raven best childhood waifu
Now that Tasha’s added the new subclasses it would make sense to build her as an aberrant mind sorcerer, probably a few levels in cleric cause she’s kind of the healer of the group
RAPH everyone uses swords.... lets get some variety in here.
No nunchaku love for Michelangelo?
Raven's magic mostly comes from being taught it in Azarath so no, it wouldn't be CHA based.
Even if it was true, that's no reason to make that her primary because mechanics =/= flavour. You should be building her in the way that best expresses her abilities regardless of which stats that requires.
6:52 Oh that's easy. He's actually Ganondorf.
You just made a dream of mine a reality. Thank you.
I actually did this build without realizing it, except I swapped the Tiefling for Fallen Assimar and I went pact of the tome because books is fun :D
Levitate only does vertical movement, not horizontal movement
I'd probably go with Shadow Sorcerer for this instead of Warlock but can't say this isn't fitting. :)
Actually, after thinking about it no I probably wouldn't. Too many of the spells the warlock gets match up too well. It just sucks they get so few slots.
I just realized when trying to build this that you forgot to mention what starting Skills you’d recommend.
Rainbow Randolph, Sheldon Mopes, and Ronnie Dobbs. Y'all are brutilizin me
So im definatly trying this build on baldurs gate 3 when the game is fully out xD
And how did that work out for you? :♤)
@GrassPokeKing i honestly forgot about this xD but im sooooo gonna doit thanks for reminding me!
@@someguy4852 Have fun both Azerathing AND Metrioning all over those Zinthos!
Yesssss thank you for this
Hey, it's what I do. :)
One that would be fun to do is Sir Daniel Fortesque from the MediEvil games.
While the Skeleton isn't an Official race, it's in the DM's Guide for building NPCs, so there is that to use as a basis, at least until WotC make a book that makes actual playable Undead with Skeletons being included. Class, let's make the guy a strength-based fighter, as that's how he mainly operates as. Strength is a big one as he does a lot of melee damage, so put the 15 there. Now, Intelligence and Charisma take a -4 penalty, so it might be a good idea to put the 14 and 13 in those because while the guy isn't really that stupid, he's not that good looking, due to being a fleshless bag of bones. Put the 10 in Wisdom because, again, he isn't that stupid. Put the 11 in Constitution, so that he can take some damage. Then, put the 8 in Dex, as he doesn't really need it, at least initially, and he gets a +2 bonus anyways, giving him stats of 15 strength, 10 dexterity, 11 constitution, 10 intelligence, 10 wisdom, and 9 charisma. As for Background, Soldier for Athletics and Intimidation, as he was the Captain of the Militia, or you could make it Entertainer for Acrobatics and Performance if you don't think that he was really that much of a warrior to begin with, as he was a very good story-teller who got knighted because the king liked his stories.
Archetype, Champion, as he doesn't really do any fancy tricks beyond smashing and sometimes shooting, and that shield dash trick, so there's some of the ways in which one can increase his damage via fighting styles - Archery for his bows, and Dueling for melee weapon fighting. Increasing his strength (for melee attacks), dexterity (for his bows and crossbows), and constitution (so that he can tank more damage) would be good ideas as he levels up, especially given that he'll be using plate armor and a shield to reduce the odds of getting hit, with perhaps an extra point going into Charisma to even it out, or just put it into Constitution.
Given his lack of a jaw, Daniel isn't going to be giving any speeches anyways, but he can see in the dark, is immune to poison and exhaustion, and doesn't need to eat, sleep or drink (might need to homebrew a reason for him to rest and be healed - magical energy needing to recharge or top-up), but he is vulnerable to bludgeoning damage.
Now, he's off to save Gallowmere!
You do realise you could just multi class a hexblade necromancer lich to achieve the same results without the need for a custom race.
@@clothar23 Or, alternatively, thanks to Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, Sir Dan could be a Variant Human with the Hollow One template added onto him, as that is an official playable undead. (Got the book last week.)
Tulok, I just realized that your episode count is off starting with this video. Look at the video right before it, Episode 25, this one is labeled Episode 27.
Yep, that was Princess Mononoke. It got copyright strikes.
My 5 year old son watchs your videos with me he would like to know how you can play papa smurf in d&d and what race would you use
Not the Barbarian but I would probably use Forest gnome for papa smurf. He talks to animals and he's kinda smart. And small.
Man that's so cool! My sister also started RPGs at about the same age.
@@goblinguru Yeah a forest Gnome Druid would sound right to me.
Forest Gnome with some levels in Druid, some in Wizard and a few in knowledge cleric.
I would go deep gnome (their race name is smurfbelin)
I think i may try this in a one-shot
What happened to episode 26?
why did you not do Raven Queen Warlock. lvl 1 gives you a free raven familiar and lvl 6 you get to merge with you raven and fly around like a raven. what is one of her big powers, she turns into a shadow raven and flies around.
@Tulok the Barbarian, the abilities from the new Undead UA Walock class look very Raven
I would also add a ring of teleknissis, but that depends on your setting and/or DM
I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm going to say shadow sorcerer. Edit: warlock, dang should have seen that coming... Makes so much more sense
What was the video before this, it marked as Deleted?
Honestly, Now I wanna make jinx too
Would that be a monk/warlock??
I see her more as being a Wild Magic Sorcerer first- may need a custom table that matches more with her powers for the DM to determine how often it comes in, but Bend Luck and the whole chaos aspect fit well with her powers, as well as some Metamagic like Heightened Spell- I see her having a lot of debuff/disadvantaging tools at her disposal. Case in point, Warlock levels would be great for getting Hex(and Eldritch Blast)as well as a few choice invocations, particularly Sign of Ill Omen so you can curse people, though you'd need to go to at least 5 in warlock to get that one. And Monk will certainly help her nimbleness and occasional hand-to-hand she does. Variant human with Lucky feat is pretty apropos too, and whether through the racial feat or background, Acrobatics proficiency is a must as well.
I'd say Wild Magic/Trickery Domain
Shadow sorcerer, seriously, I know it doesn’t match the lore, but it matches the flavor, and it would give you a reason to do sorclock.
Divine sorcerer of evil probably does better though. Her power comes from being trigons daughter
Wow the comments add a lot of different possible builds for Raven!
Though the abilities Fit who Raven is, somewhat... Narratively this is completely off! (Even Then I'm Pretty Damn sure it would be EASY to make a more Appropriate Build for her with Sorcerer Built around Shadows, Divination and Encantments, and I'm a Philistine who's yet to bother to Update to 5e yet I know this!)
Raven Might as well be the Poster Child for "Sorcerer" , she has Magic Because he Dad is a Demon, not because she's Made a PACT with a Demon, or even because he CHOOSES to give her power, he doesn't have a Choice in the matter, she's got the Magic in HER. If this were not the case it would be 100% Impossible for her to Fight Against Trigon, yet he's her Primary Antagonist, so Obviously, he's not Giving her any power Willingly... Trigon ain't no Patron, he's just the dude who Donated the DNA for Raven Innately have the ability to MAGIC!
Dude can you make a Black Canary build? And awesome video by the way
raven needs max charisma, since she's _got legs for days_
Could we get a Harry Dresden build
Toilet auger works better than a plunger
Background? Inheritor? Hermit?
I really thought sorcerer
Personally I'd make her 8th level mystic arcanum Maddening Darkness but that's really just a nitpick. Otherwise great work.
Hold on! 7:24... Where did the baby go...?
How in the heck do you not multi class into something with telekinesis??? That's one of her main attacks.
That's what Mage Hand is for. And Arms of Hadar or Evard's black tentacles for attacks
Raven is just a teenager, I doubt she would be 17th level or higher. What would that make a truly powerful D.C. comics wizard like Zatanna or Dr. Fate?
Can we get a Teen Titans campaign?
Or at least a battle like he did with the Avengers vs Thanos?
has anyone created this and posted it yet?
Ainz Oal Gown! Overlord, great anime, even better BBEG, PLEASE MAKE!!!!
Ainz was the good guy in his anime .
For a given value of the word. He’ll do anything to protect his interests, kingdom, and people. No matter how many people he has to burn alive to do it
@@Aku9466 Which puts him a step above a lot of the other characters who are doing the whole slaughtering thing for shits and giggles .
I would think she totally has a ring of telekinesis.
I Think a Hexblade 3/ Shadow Sorcerer 18 would fit her better.
What was the 26th Build?
Raven was always my favorite of the Teen Titans. #DecemberTulokRewatch
Shadow Sorcerer makes more sense than warlock.
Tulok the Barbrarian where is Video/Build 26?
Shouldn’t she be a Sorcerer? Warlocks are based around magic acquired from making a bargain with a powerful deity, not your heritage.
Plus this gives her more ability to cast spells, and empower them. Admittedly they’re no fiend based sorcerous origin, but it fits better backstory wise.
I mean I think you could probably argue that her mother having sex with trigon made the pact so she was force into being a warlock since birth.
timer colen I mean, kinda. Still, wouldn’t that be a pact with her mother, and not Raven? Why would Raven have the benefits of the pact when she wasn’t even the one that made it?
I don’t know, it just doesn’t add up to me.
@@DeadLight63 yea I guess a better way to say it would be trigon forced a pact on fetus raven so she came out already a warlock. Cause her powers still come from trigon that's why she has to keep her emotions in check or else he will take over her body.
Allow me to play devil's advocate~ (Ha, Devil.)
From the player's handbook itself, Warlocks are seekers of the knowledge that lies hidden in the fabric of the multiverse. Through pacts made with mysterious beings of supernatural power, warlocks unlock magical effects both subtle and spectacular. Drawing on the ancient knowledge of beings such as fey nobles, demons, devils, hags, and alien entities of the Far Realm, warlocks piece together arcane secrets to bolster their own power.
New to your channel. But can you do one for Rogue from X-Men?
What about Starfire? She and Raven are allies after all.
Can you do jackie estacado?
Where ep 26
Could you make raziel from ps1 game soul reaver please
Dark One's Own Luck is level 6... Divine Soul and Draconic gain wings at level 14... mmm...
What was the deleted character?
I didn't find this series until after the Terminator build
Princess Mononoke. It's a spear-wielding Druid/Barbarian hybrid build from what I remember, with a lot of beast-summoning, animal friend type spells, but don't quote me on that, since it has been a while. Studio Ghibli, who own the IP, are notoriously protective of their copyrights, even when affirmative defenses like fair use obviously apply. I want it back so bad, but there's no word yet.
@@whodareswins999 that's a damn shame, thanks for letting me know anyways
@@JabezFuutonSpecialis No problem. who knows, we may get it back once the snafu is dealt with. All we can do is keep asking and talking about it, right?
@@whodareswins999 yep
Why the hell would you NOT take Wish as a 9th level Mystic Arcanum. Also, why didn't you just pick Sorcerer?
You do realize that levitate is vertical movement only, right?
Yupp cant find dark ones blessing on dndb lol damn gotta do it a different build way then
Any thoughts how I could build Ursula from the little mermaid my pugilist/ monk is going to marry a Caecalia their nice girls and I think it’d be nice to have them travel from time to time
I honestly like this idea: ruclips.net/video/aJSZWBwx-Pw/видео.html
Do Geralt of Rivia!!!
Yo if you don't have at least 14 intelligence it's not raven. Weird that magic heritage relies on charisma nvr played a dnd game before so I don't know much. But isn't charisma usually for speech checks and bartering?
No Shadow Sorcerer? For shame.
Shadow Sorcerer fit better.
how to play aizen in dnd
I'm new to this so it would be nice if you'd slow down a lil bit while explaining.
To be honest, the only thing I have against this is Tiefling. For all intents and purposes, the DC character Raven is Human, just with demonic blood. Having her as a Tiefling ignores the entire Infernal bloodline section of the Tiefling, because she has no physical descriptors of Tiefling appearance. (IE: Horns, tail, solid colored eyes with no pupil). PHB describes these as HAVE, not MAY HAVE, which means ALL Tieflings share these features. Also, I would have made her a Wizard, simply because she she does use a spellbook sometimes, access to certain spells (IE: Shield, Teleport, etc.), and she is more Intelligent than Charismatic. But this build works too.
There are way to many race variations. Just call yourself anything and create bonus for you. That's what they do to sell books.
Mikie
Ah. Back when Teen titans was actually good.
Leooooo
warlocks get less slots than a ranger
I mean considering in the internal lore of the DnD world, those who make a pact aren't meant to have magical powers in the first place. Having a more limited arcane ability makes sense, since that Warlock is borrowing power that is otherwordly.
Plus, even though they get less spell slots; Warlock Slots return on a short rest.
Algorithm boosting!
Sooooo... And I am being completely honest... Aqualad called and said he feels left out... Tulok can ya help him out?
Good alignment? You assume far too much.
But seriously I've never actually heard of a DM that forced the party to be good, or even 'heroic' outside of some 'player gets revenge' type stories.
No it's just a DM is technically within the rules to say force disadvantage if your moral alignment doesn't match up with your patron's. So this Raven build might not be the best choice for power gaming if your DM is a by the book kinda person.
I'm sorry, the background music was so loud and annoying I couldn't finish the video.
