    I'd argue he has higher intelligence than wisdom. He's smart enough to make a cunning scheme to steal the throne, but he's not wise enough to kill the hero with a method that doesn't have a 0% success rate of killing the hero. Just a note for villains: Don't kill the hero by dropping them off a cliff. It never works. Saw their head of like a real winner does.

    Tulok I know you’re not the most into anime and gotta consume a lot of media for your job but, I recommend Trigun to you.

    To be the character maybe go with a hexadin, to represent the matrix of leadership and the all spark

      OG Prime, warforged/soldier balttlemaster/ two levels of bard for those inspiring speeches.
      Unicron trilogy Prime, that's your paladin (because he powers up)/battlemaster. Both would have the warlock initiate feet or spell sniper for eldritch blast.

    Barbarian and Rogue multiclass is seriously something a lot of people sleep on. My first character ever in 2015(?) was a Wood Elf Totem Barbarian/Thief Rogue/Battlemaster Fighter named Magaskawee, and she was a monster. She was a super mobile expert grappler who could take some serious damage with Bear Totem, Danger Sense, Uncanny Dodge, and Evasion all having some serious synergy. Fighter was just for a little more versatility with Action Surge, Battlemaster maneuvers, Dueling, Second Wind, etc.

All her spells and effects could be reflavored as Wakandan tech or just her own incredible force of personality.

    This is great flavor and load-out for Killmonger. Nothing about him says anything about self-preservation, or preservation of anything really. Get into melee quickly, fight brutally, and add another notch to your collection. If melee isn't an option, hit them at a distance. If they attack back, channel that hurt and harm into more aggression. Yes, it is great for Killmonger.

    Episode 304 of the Fire Emblem stats: Erik Stevens. Or Killmonger, if you prefer the comics.
    His weapon stats are similar to T'Challa's as you can probably tell from him having the usual first MCU movie trope of being exactly the same powerset-wise to the protagonist: brawling, heavy armor (vibranium), and authority (as wannabe king of the Wakandans). However, instead of being good with lances, he's good with bows instead due to being good with guns.
    He's more of an all-rounder than T'Challa is with more attack and charm but worse luck and even worse magic.

    Tulok, I was bored and did the math for a thing I now desire to do in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. Usain Bolt, the real man, would be able to run ~240 feet per round, which is actually nuts btw. But I don't want a super fast build, you've already done Sonic and the Flash etc. I want to know how many ways and with what classes I can get to 240 (or slightly above) feet of movement in a turn, and in how many levels. I think that this speed is reasonable to achieve with some optimizing and multiclassing, and isn't too too overkill. Thank you for reading.

    Watching this again, I think I may have spotted a mistake.
    6:45 You can use Spirit Guardians on yourself because you can see yourself
    Except, I don't think so? The ability says "Beginning at 6th level, the guardian spirits that aid you can provide supernatural protection to those you defend. If you are raging and *another* creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to reduce that damage by 2d6."
    The inclusion of "another" creature seems to imply to me that you cannot use this on yourself.
    Maybe I'm wrong, and i hope I am, but that seems to purposefully exclude yourself benefitting from it. :(
