- Today we have a build for Sly Cooper for D&D 5e! If you want to slink through the shadows, climbing pipes, walls, and just about anything you can see, this is the build for you.

Truthfully, there are two things to consider:
1. Sly is a variant of the "gentleman thief". Gentleman thieves tend to be non-violent when possible, on the grounds that killing is easy -- _thievery_ is hard. Thus, he wouldn't particularly mind giving up extra damage dice.
2. Sly's cane is a special weapon, created from centuries of experience. Each Cooper of his line has their own variant, making it a unique weapon.
If you like, simply homebrew a _canne de combat_ , a French fighting stick. It's easy enough: Just change a saber from slashing to bludgeoning. They're finesse weapons, so it's a perfect fit.
Oooh, now there's an idea I can get behind! I was thinking sickle since some of the Cooper ancestors used short and sharper looking weapons but saber sounds like probably a better idea!
@@The_Anthologist To be honest, I only chose saber because that was the basis of the _canne de combat_ . ^.^;; Glad you like it, though!
it would also give a dex bonus on acrobatics checks
@@WardNightstone That's debatable. If making a custom weapon, though, it should definitely count as having an integrated set of thieves' tools.
don't know how are the weapons in DnD but i play pathfinder so i't must be kinda the same on that field... but in my case i would try to homebrew a sickle/scythe as a bludgegoing fnesse weapon, since they have the trip special feature, another option is to homebrew a bludgegoing ankus, it's the nearest thing to sly's cane, aso it has the trip and disarm specal feature, meaby we can use it to "disarm" someone's pocket...or just use crook...reach, trip secial feature
"Gosh I can't wait to use the Thief subclass for this its gonna be fun!"
Me: "He isn't gonna use the Thief subclass....."
As a Cooper, I can confirm that Sly is the slyest of Coopers.
You heard it here folks! Dan Cooper himself approved!
I see that someone thought they could lay claim to my name since I didn't make it my account name, eh? Thought you were slick, did you? Big mistake. RELEASE THE LEOPARD!!!
Tulok: just make sure your wisdom and dexterity are ok though
Me: there’s going to be a monk here isn’t there
I don't understand why he set Chr so high, it was so high I was expecting Shadow Sorc.
I don't know what you're talking about this is a 1-20 thief rogue
@@Cheddarcheesemonkey I feel like Arcane Trickster for the Thievius Raccoonus techniques, but to each their own.
@@killcat1971 It's in Character for Sly to be charming.
The most under appreciated face of Playstation!
Jak says hi.
Spike sheds a single tear
I mean it got 3 games and supposedly a movie is coming out.
@@dogma690 they trashed that movie mid production many years ago bud
@@dogma690 4 games but we don’t talk about that 4th one
This is the wrong Cooper but I appreciate the effort. We were hoping for Anderson Cooper in 5e
Fairly confident he's a half-elf Eloquence Bard with the Noble background, but I wanna hear Tulok say it.
God its Archer all over again
well i wanted sheldon cooper but we don't always get what we want don't we?
I wanted Mr. Cooper with which to Hang, but we all have to settle.
Actually i think that a lot of people wanted this Cooper but okay.
"if someone has power word kill and you're in range you die no stealth is going to save you from that" -Tulok
"You utter a word of power that can compel one creature you can *see* within range to die instantly" -Power Word Kill
*Laughs in stealth expertise with Pass without a Trace or invisibility*
I got here as fast as I could! I LOVE THIS!!!!!
Edit: a lot less levels in Rogue than I would’ve expected.
1:02 minutes in, I'm gonna guess Monk+Rogue
Edit: I was instantly proven wrong.
Edited Edit: Tulok, you gotta stop playing with my emotions
I've literally started replaying this today, Sly Cooper is one of my favourite Gentleman Thieves of all time!!
*Gentleman Monk
Weapon solution: khopesh on a stick. It's my personal head-canon that the golden crook of Sly's cane is bladed on at least one side.
(Also if you keep monk, you can make his martial art bartitsu)
Thinking about it, a Bentley build wouldn’t be too hard. I figure he’s mostly artificer with a bit of chronogist mixed in
My best friend from the PS2 era, much love to this sneaky boi
I was thinking, couldnt Sly be a Dex base eldrich knight, he’s “spells” taken from the thievius raccoonus and have his family weapon be his weapon bond
Unfortunately, Eldritch Knights only have access to Evocation and Abjuration spells, neglecting the very build-important Invisibility.
If you want this to be more of a gish build, I'd go with Artificer or even Hexblade.
@@sofer2230 E. Knights CAN learn spells that aren't in Evo or Abj; I think they only get to pick like, three in their whole build though.
Sly also isn't exactly a fighter, his whole deal is stealth focus and avoiding combat unless necessary
thedizzytuna i know and I would make an arcane trickster (with mage and as another relatives entry on the book) and his cane as a sickle, but eldrich knight also fits his mechanics, he’s not exactly a monk either
But the types of "spells" he has could be considered "shadow arts" for a shadow monk. I'd do a Shadow Monk, Theif Rogue multiclass (haven't seen what he did yet if that's what he did)
I got this notification and clicked immediately, Sly was my favorite series growing up so I'm really excited!
Hey, and since I'm never this early, I might as well plug my recommendations for other characters! I recommend Danny Phantom, Dr. Facilier from Princess and the Frog, and Krieg from Borderlands 2. I know Krieg was voted out in favor of Zer0 in a previous poll but I still really want to know how to make a barbarian with infinite explosive throwing axes!
Hey, just curious about the whole cane issue, what are scythes defined as in dnd? I could never really tell if the Cooper cane was blunt or not because he does pick pockets with it and if the metal head is really thin then you could argue its a scythe or long sickle. Are either of those finesse weapons?
I love Sly Cooper too! It’s the whole reason I bought a PS3.
@@ThatRandomEncounterGuy Unfortunately, I didn't get a ps3 so I haven't played thieves in time yet, I seriously want to though! I did play the other three games to absolute death when I was younger though! My cousin had 3 at her house when I visited this past summer and I swear my hands just played with minimal input from my brain like it was mainly just muscle memory doing its thing!
When he made the comment about keeping your head on your shoulders, that reminded me of the SGB let’s play of sly 2, where Sly lost his head due to a glitch, causing the game to crash.
been waiting for this one since i saw it on the polls, love it, future hopefully has one of these characters Space Dandy, Spike Speigel, Vash the Stampede aka Trigun
You could homebrew the cane as a finesse weapon that deals bludgeoning damage and stay pure thief, but this is cool too.
The point of these builds is that they are no homebrew. Only wizards materials. Otherwise a lot of builds would've been way easier to make
"Absolute chaos"...
I'm guessing Shadow the Hedgehog.
Would have saved Tulok so much Monk if there was something in D&D for "Already has X special weapons". All he needed was a cane with finesse...
When your throw back a classic that it reawakens your inner kid in your cold grown heart
SO... How about a magic half-genie that whips her hair back and forth?
Ironically she'd probably a part mage or druid, since shapeshifting her main magic
@@apex2000 I think Bladesinger with a whip re-flavored as her hair. "Half Genie" could be done as half elf for mechanics
Oh yes oh yes oh yes, thank you so much man finally, I can play my own version of my favorite character for my childhood❤️😂
SAME!
EDIT: The DM said the Scimiat *is* the cane. The blade is just attached to a stick rather than a hilt. Neat.
I showed my DM this and they said they'd allow a flavored weapon to be a cane. They mentioned that if you wanted a cane you'd need a Scimitar on the end of a stick. I found this kind of cunny mentally thinking about it.
I remember one weekend as a kid I got up early to replay Sly Copper 2 and beat it in a day. Good times...
I loved the panic when he had to multiclass
Love the Community reference! Great show.
man, 18 levels in Monk is quite a heavy dip for a Thief Rogue build
I've been on a big Sly Cooper nostalgia trip recently, so this is great timing.
man i loved this guy's games as a kid
i finally got my internet fixed so i can religiously watch this series again. I need a character that can forcibly wash my fellow pc's hands, please supply me o mighty classmaker
I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS VIDEO. The amount of respect for the source material is so great to see!
I sure can’t wait to watch this build of a Thief-Rouge character! Anything else and I’d be disappointed
Ah, yes, the early 2000's ps2 mascott era. A character from that era that i think may be interesting is ratchet from ratchet and clank, though finding someway to get clank in the build as well would be awesome.
Great video dude! Keep on keeping on and can’t wait for Thursday
Damn. Doing good this week, Tulok. Characters from to games I absolutely love.
I actually played a character based on Sly Cooper (named "Guy Cooper" with NPC rivals "Sly Fieri" and "Carmelita Box") in Crash Pandas. Many shenanigans were had.
I remember playing a rogue based on Wayne from the 2nd gen Mistborn series. He was a reformed theif working as a deputy in law enforcement. He was terrified of using edged weapons so my DM allowed me to dual wield tonfas (bludgeoning versions of shortswords). The thinking was, spinning them creates a damage multiplier that makes a high strength unnecessary to deal big damage. Keeping them spinning seemed more of a dextrous act, so he allowed them to maintain their finesse ability.
I never considered Shadow Monk, that's WAY more in character than dipping into Illusion Wizard!
Nice work Tulok, I've been looking forward to this build for some time.
Stealth does help with Power Word Kill: they have to see you in order to target you
Still sad about the lack of sneak attack though 😭😜
Time for some of Sly's Foes.
Sly 1
Raleigh the Frog - Grung, strength and constitution based fighter, with a decent amount of intelligence, and a level or two in Artificer. To be fair, all he does is try to squish Sly (perhaps he lacked his gadgets during the fight). Maybe Noble background.
Muggshot - I see a Bugbear here with those big arms. Needs a high strength and dexterity - he's good with guns and gunz. Barbarian/Fighter might fit. Background, Soldier with Criminal features. (Same for Sly 3)
Mz. Ruby - Lizardfolk (or Dragonborn), Necromancer Wizard (lots of voodoo).
Panda King (See idea for Allies).
Clockwerk - Owlin with Armorer Artificer, and Fighter with Defense Fighting Style.
Sly 2
Dimitri (See idea for Allies)
Rajan - Strength based tabaxi (would say Leonin, but he does no roaring). Fighter or Barbarian, with some spellcaster (although the one item could just be a Magic item).
The Contessa - There's no spiders, but we might make do with a Thri-kreen based Dhampir. Ranger with the thorn whip cantrip at any rate.
Jean Bison - Minotaur. Fighter/Barbarian. Needs Perception (saw through Sly and the gang's disguises when they tried to pass themselves off as judges).
Neyla - Tabaxi. Hard to describe this cat - she'll steal your tongue and make you eat it, without you knowing.
Sly 3
Octavio - Leonin. I see him like a Bard/Fighter, with a high constitution.
Black Baron - Custom Lineage (although Warforged would be okay), strength based Unarmed fighter with a certain amount of intelligence. (Secretly, Penelope (see Allies))
General Tsao - Aarakocra - Eldritch Knight fighter, but other martial spellcasters will work. Perception is a good skill - saw through Sly's disguise.
Captain LeFwee - another Aarakocra - Swashbuckling Rogue, at the very least, and a level or two in artificer.
Dr. M. Bugbear, artificer of some sort - other spellcasters can be added.
Sly 4
El Jefe - Tabaxi, Eldritch Knight with Green-Flame blade, two-weapon fighting style and the Dual Wielder Feat.
Toothpick - Custom Lineage (no armadillo race equivalents that I know of), Rune Knight Fighter with Archery Fighting and Crossbow Expert.
The Grizz - Bugbear with Entertainer background. Rogue or Bard. Must be able to skate and dance and rap.
Black Knight - I'll accept Warforged Fighter (secretly, Penelope controlling a suit of armor).
Miss Decibel - Loxodon bard - uses that trumpet trunk of hers.
Cyrille Le Paradox - Reskinned Tabaxi. Needs Poison Spray and sword-fighting and deception. I'll say Bard-Sorcerer.
That Community reference. Man, if I needed any more proof of how dope you were, I couldn't have asked for a better one.
Perfection
Ass crack bandit build when?
I feel like a Cuphead build would be divine soul sorcerer halfling with some Monk levels for jumping around and dodging.
The episode I’ve been waiting for!
I was really looking forward to seeing the thief subclass shine in this video. It is criminally underused and that still appears to be the case.
This is one I've been looking forward to for a while.
Disney should totally make a Sly Cooper movie, it would be like Zootopia meets oceans eleven.
Ah hell yeah!! I had an idea to do this and am glad I found someone who already made a guide
So Sly Cooper is basically Catwoman but with the furry turned up to eleven yet none of the kink? 🤔
Karpmageddon The FBI would like to know your location
@@carlosbaezjr.7674 It's not like I brought up Raphtalia. 😸
My favorite Soul Calibur charecter is Ivy, so I vote for her.
Sure, Cooper's have a staff. But that staff look suprisingly similiar to shepard's staff, in a way it could be used as finesse weapon if you want to use the hooky end (only in homebrew thought...)
Ivy's not my favorite, but Nightmare seems like he'd be too straightforward of a build to warrant an entire video, and Voldo is a hard pass.
@@Unit-3D who is your favorite from Soul series then?
Sure Nightmare would be straight forward to certain extent, possibly hexblade Warlock and conguest or revenge palladin. But his human side Siegrfied, that is favored by Soul Calibur could throw a nice twist onto it.
Voldo, a creepy blind S&M rogue/fighter man servant that is chasing his dead waifu master by looking for Soul Edge, personally I think that could also be interisting consept. Expertesi on acrobatics, not sure about Athletics but he has insane climbing abilities...
Ivy would be very interestin maybe, also most complex. A warlock or sorcerer becouse of his blood binding him to Cervantes and Soul Edge especially. But also a Wizard or Artificier since she is alchemist and knows of magic and rituals... Arcane fighter maybe🤔
@@valtsu86 Tulok would likely flavor spells for her weapon attacks.
But methinks there might be a magic weapon that could fit the bill.
@@kylethomas9130 true, a sentient one. And there is many :)
@@valtsu86 anything with the reach of a whip, and the stabiness of a sword?
Tabaxi arcane trickster and call it a day also jumping can be covered by the jump spell and expertise can cover other things as well. I'd have a 15 dexterity, 14 constitution, 13 charisma, 12 intelligence, 10 wisdom, and 8 strength. Tabaxi will give the character a climb speed so strength is unnecessary if I'm correct, and expertise in perception will give you that laser eye sight your looking for in this build I guess
Now that the Giff is a UA race, let's build the rest of the gang, and Carmelita while we're at it -
Carmelita - just like our favorite Ringtail, she's a reskinned Tabaxi. Modify either the Soldier Background, or City Watch (Investigator) or Investigator. Ranger's a good class for this vixen, with the Hunter subclass being a good pick, but we could start with Rogue for extra skills and sneak attacks. Archery is the fighting style for her, but we could grab some Fighter tricks from Battlemaster, and pick up Defense as a fighting style, or Superior Technique. Likewise, depending on how far to go into Battlemaster Fighter versus Hunter Ranger one wants to go, one feat to grab is Martial Adapt to get more Battlemaster techniques. Another good feat would be Sharpshooter - would pick Crossbow expert, but Sharpshooter covers all ranged weapons. We want her to be good enough to capture Sly, or, failing that goal, the guys he does beat up. Dexterity should be highest, followed by Wisdom, Constitution, Intelligence, Charisma, and dump Strength.
Bentley - Tortle obviously. Got to make him something of a hacker. Artificer is a good start, but the kind does depend on the game, but Armorer or Battle Smith are good options, depending on what you want (and thankfully, thanks to Tasha's, we can switch subclasses as need be, at Ability Score Improvement points). Rogue would be a good start as well. Start off with Intelligence on the high end, followed by Dexterity, Wisdom, Charisma, Constitution, and dump Strength, but at least Racial bonuses help there to see to it he has no negative modifiers. See about modifying his crossbows (for sleeping darts as seen in the second game). Intelligence is his main stat. Dexterity is next, if crossbow isn't a magic weapon in the case of the Battle Smith.
Murray - Giff is what we want - but if the DM is "By the Book Official Races Only" (I had that DM), Loxodon comes close, with built-in Natural Armor, based on Constitution, which might prove handy. Strength is the big thing on the big guy - he's the group's muscle. Constitution is next - he's tough. Next up, Dexterity - he can be quick when need be. Next up, Charisma - the big lug is kinda likeable. Wisdom is low, and we'll dump Intelligence - he'll admit he's not the smart one - and make sure he has Land Vehicle proficiency - he's the group's get-away driver, as he can drive a stick-shift. Starting off, depends in race - if Giff, start as a Barbarian to get Unarmored Defense, and then go Fighter to get Unarmed Fighting style, but if Loxodon, start as Fighter to get the Unarmed Fighting style, and then go Barbarian. Murray is a Champion Fighter / Totem Warrior (Bear) Barbarian mix in any case say 16 Fighter, 4 Barbarian - boost Strength and Constitution along the way - we want the big guy to deliver hits, and take them. Of course, as a Champion, the second Fighting Style to get as a Level 10 Champion fighter is Thrown Weapon fighting, and grab Tavern Brawler for proficiency in Improvised weapons - big lug throws a lot of things, including things that normally aren't weapons.
Today is my birthday,and as so,I request a Spawn build,because I need me a vengeance ghost with guns and chains. Cheers Tulok,love the work
NotSnowFlake yaaaaaas
YEEEAAHH!! My favorite PS2 Character, and the actual build I used for him. Except I did go a third into rogue for Thief. Bonus action use object and pick lock is amazing. Otherwise identical lol I'm so happy dude, I love this series and I hope you enjoy it still
Tulok the Barbarian
Idea for a future character: Natsu from Fairy Tail as a sorcerer dragon ancestry mixed with Way of the Sun Soul Monk as a fire genasi (I thought of this one day after watching some of your videos and thought you might be able to make this character, maybe think of a better way to make him. Thanks for the great videos and amazing characters you’ve brought to D&D)
I didn't known it but I was waiting so hard for it!
It has been a long time since D&D has shown off the space hippos. :)
I request the shadowman from princess and the frog I think it would make an excellent warlock
You mean Dr. Facilier, I got you
@@MegaPokefan97 I don't know what you're talking about...
*whistles nervously
The best way to make Sly work is create a special weapon for him:
The thief's cane: 1d8 bludgeoning damage with the finnese with the special ability to extend your reach whenever you are making a sleight of hands.
Later on you can make stuff like creating special variatiion of the thief's cane:
like one that allows you 3 times at day to make a trip attack with advantage.
Here's a couple more guys -
The rest of the Cooper Gang. Beware - *Spoilers!*
Panda King - Enemy - turned - Ally as of Sly 3. Reskinned Bugbear seems to be the main race fit here. Guild Artisan - swap Persuasion for Intimidation. Going to go Artillerist Artificer/ Monk Multi-Class here (possibly Way of 4 Elements). Artillerist is going to be a big one here, but he needs some of that Flame Fu mojo flowing.
Dimirti - Enemy - turned - Ally (more like Trusted Friend if 4 is anything to go by). Lizardfolk with Entertainer background - he's, how you say, smooth criminal. I see a Rogue/Bard here, with Crossbow Expert. Granted, he's the team's Frogman, but he's almost as good as Sly with some of his moves.
The Guru - A Koala - might use Custom Lineage. Sage Background. A Monk/Druid for sure.
*Spoiler!* Penelope Mouse - Might go Custom. Urchin Background. Subclass depends on the time when the campaign is set - in Sly 3, she's an Ally, who uses a Remote Controlled car (so, Battle Forge) but in Sly 4, she's an Enemy in an armored suit (Armorer). But, maybe she can be redeemed - Coopers' seem to do that to a number of former foes.
The Ancestors - All are Reskinned Tabaxi at any rate.
Rioichi - Ninja Chef - invented Sushi. Needs Chef Feat. Rogue/Monk multi-class.
"Tennessee Kid" - Old West Outlaw - Something of a Crackshot. Needs Crossbow Expert (or Gunner), maybe Sharpshooter too. Might go Ranger/Dex-based Fighter.
Bob - Caveman - I see him as a Barbarian, with more Charisma than Intelligence.
Sir Galleth - Knight - Cavalier Fighter/Swashbuckler Rogue.
Salim - Leader of The 40 Thieves - Rogue/Monk sort - hates snakes!
Build so sneaky I almost missed it. Good thing I hit the bell icon
Tulok, I actually love the idea of this build! Sly is sneaky, but in combat he's way more of a skirmisher than an assassin and Monk does that well.
My only modification would be to take the Mobile feat instead of one of the Wis increases! Sly's battle tactics are about hitting and running, and being able to avoid opportunity attacks for free is almost mandatory for a melee build that dumped Con
Second Weekly Build Request: Since a new Digimon series just started, I would love to see a build for Wargreymon or Beelzemon. I think they would be fun builds from one of my favorite anime series.
A build that starts at Koromon or Agumon and gets stronger under certain conditions (to get to War Greymon or even Omnimon) would be an interesting thing to see.
@@Cassius335 The only thing I could think of would be either A) Use Rage as a flavored transformation or B) Use a transforming subclass like Beast Soul Barbarian or Lycanthrope Blood Hunter, but none of those really "fit" Agumon or his Digivolutions.
I`m voting for Voldo because his breakdance fighting sounds like a bard build and we need more of those.
Honestly it's criminal that there's no official weapon like a shepherds crook in game, I demand trip attacks and finesse! And while we're at it, official stats for playable Awakened beasts and plants would be sweet.
Please do the NAZGUL!!!
Love your videos as always!
You are quite correct about the lack of finessible bludgeoning weapons, which is kinda a pain imo.
For the past three weeks I've been stuck in India and now that I'm back I can't wait to go back and watch all the builds that I missed because I didn't have enough mobile data to watch most of your videos.
Being kinda short is also lore friendly because, if I'm not mistaken, even Carmelita is a few inches taller than you (also tulok, thank you for building this. My impatient ass posted some flak in a previous video or two, and I feel I ought to apologize)
AAAHHH!!! My wish has been granted!!
Thank you! :3
I accidentally made a Murray build and I love it
Barbarian Grappler build
Race Goliath (no Hippo race unfortunately)
Rage ties in well with what happens in sly 2 and 3
Entertainer background for intimidation and a wrestler attire mask and all
Tavern Brawler is a must have feat for this build
I'm only level 3 as of this so not too sure on how this will pan out but currently really hype knocked a guy out by throwing a beer mug in his face
You are proficient with short swords as a rogue. This weapon is used by Rictavio in Curse of Strahd:
Sword Cane. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d6 + 1) bludgeoning damage (wooden cane) or piercing damage (silvered sword).
The simplest move is to call this a short sword as the damage matches up and it is clearly finesse in both cane and sword form. This way you can build entirely thief from 1-20 if you give Sly this item. He just doesn’t take the sword out of the cane.
Have you considered the Shifter race? Specifically the Swiftstride Shifter? +2 to Dex, +1 Wis, proficient in acrobatics, darkvision, and while shifted gain 10 feet speed, and as a reaction move 10 feet when a creature is within 5 feet of you.
Sly cooper band of thieves was truly a game ahead of its time
Nightmare is _the_ definition of a Hexblade Warlock with armor proficiency.
A Madara Uchiha build would be awesome!
Also, based on last week's build, Thor is a 3 level storm paladin and 17 storm sorcerer
Nah Kakashi Hatake
IM SO HAPPY ITS HERE
This is it. My life is compete.
Well actually, not yet. There's still the rest of the gang. Can you imagine how much fun the Guru would be to play?
As a fellow Cooper, I salute this choice, doubly so for the DK64 reference at the beginning since it was my first videogame ever. King K. Rool build when?
Well, Bentley the Tortle artificer, armorer subclass for his wheelchair, and Murray the Giff barbarian, berserker subclass and make sure he has proficiency in land and water vehicles
2013: Sly 4 ends on a cliffhanger and they want to make a CG movie. The future looks good for Sly Cooper!
The future of Sly:
(No disrespect btw, great vid)
Sony: "the future of what?"
I was joking about sly cooper. I didn’t know you already had this planned. 💕 I only played the first game but I still loved it.
A Killua Zoldyck build would be really cool, i think he would be a storm sorcerer mixed with a shadow monk.
This was pretty fun to see and hey the Monk levels were a nice surprise! Useful for Sly to have skills outside of general thieving I suppose. Absolute chaos next time? So.... Kefka build?
Would love to see Pit from Kid Icarus for some Aasimar (or not) archer goodness
Outstanding
I think just about all of the main cast of Outlaw Star could make for some interesting builds; granted, some of them have very specific weapons at their disposal, Gene Starwind with his Caster (a gun that fires off spells stored in specially made shells), and Suzuka with her Bokken (a wooden sword, called a boukudo at least once in the English dub for some reason). Suzuka might be an interesting build, she's known in-universe as an assassin and based on how she operates I think she might be a Monk (Kensei)/Rogue (Assassin) type character. Gene would probably be a straightforward Fighter (Gunslinger) but he has been known to have a few tricks up his sleeve; Jim would likely be an Intelligence-based class (probably an Artificer, given his lean towards the technical aspects of things); Aisha would probably be a Barbarian, given her brawler tendencies, but would probably have to dip into Druid a bit to get her in-universe race's special transformation.
Going into the more typical Fantasy setting, a few of the main cast of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime could make for some interesting builds. Rimuru, the primary protagonist of the series, will likely have to take his race from one of the Juiblixian subraces and maybe one of the specific racial Feats found in the same document that explains the Juiblixian (Juiblexian Race - Slimes Just Want to Adventure); Gobata might be interesting to see as a build, he's a Hobglin and those are a playable race now. As for the Kijin (a subrace of ogres in the series that are stated to be incredibly rare and powerful upgraded versions of standard ogres), last I checked, Ogre wasn't yet a playable race. Although, some of the dragonewts (upgraded versions of lizardfolk in-universe) might be interesting to see, and to be honest, I kind of want to see just how Gabiru will get built, the guy has a lot of Charisma and his ego from all the praising of others around him causes him to not think as much as he should but he is shown a few times to be smarter than he looks.
Thanks for giving love to childhood game series. Playing A Hat in Time to fill void. You should do Hat Kid and Cuphead next dude.
Came back to this video to say we did as you asked and now Giff are a playable race.
Since you Did Sly Coop, Doing Jak from Jak and Daxter would be dope too!, another one of the great PS2 Trilogies!
i am excited, so ready for this build. Im going to predict a evocation wizard how about you. Also you sound sick so get well soon!
Nah, Archfey Warlock all the way
No, full berserker barbarian.
well played, Tulok the Barbarian... well played...
As someone who wanted to build sly myself, i knew monk needed to be in there XD
I really like this one. Sly is surprisingly complicated to get right in 5e and this is probably the best no-homebrew build you could do for him. Personally if a DM says they are fine with giving you a finessed cane I would go 10 rogue and 10 Bard, Sly always has some witty banter and spell stealing some Paladin spells to simulate some moves you get in 2 and 3 (elemental weapon) and pass without trace. Also I would wonder your opinion on these: Bentley- Artilerist Artificer, Murray- Monk Paladin (sage advice says unarmed strikes are “melee weapon attacks” which means you can searing smite for that Fist of Flame)
Eddie Riggs From Brutal Legend is the epitome of heavy metal bards
When you wake up and see a new Tulok Video on your childhood, good day to be alive.
Make it a sword cane. And 19th century French men learned to fence with canes, the more skilled cane fencers regularly beat swordsmen with swords. There was something similar in Japan. And it was highly impressive.
Given the curved shape of the Cooper Cane, and how he tends to use to hang on to things and snatch stuff, you could technically re-flavor a sickle (which I believe is both a monk weapon AND finesse-able) and it would work just fine for the purposes of a thief build.
I love ANY Sly Cooper love
I’m a simple man, I see a Tulok video and I click it (I’m special excited about this one tho)
If we're really going to focus on the cane as a main weapon and not take as many levels of rogue I'd go with 9 levels of Archfey Tome warlock instead of monk. Tome can give you Shillelagh to buff your cane(club) to 1d8 plus Cha, archfey gives you some of the mobility tools baseline monk gives, and the invocations for at will jump, levitate, and turning invisible when you stand in a shadow give you most of the stuff shadow monk gives. Plus, 2 5th level spell slots and 10 spells known off the warlock list can cover most of your bases for stealthing in the shadows.
And with only 9 levels in warlock you can take rogue to 11, get sneak attack up to 6d6, and use a dagger for stealth takedowns while the cane is for boss fights that see you coming.
Episode #144 of the FIre Emblem stats: Sly Cooper.
His weapon strengths are in lances (closest thing to a cane), bows, and reason (he can use lightning). In addition, he's great at authority. He doesn't have any weaknesses.
His best stat is obviously charm, but dexterity and luck aren't too far behind. The only bad stats he has are both types of defenses and HP.
