      I imagine it would be kinda like Hercules/Mr.Satan (Dragon Ball) or King (One Punch Man)
      Like He uses Smith Evil and evil being he hits gets damage because they believe they got hit by Smith Evil (and because it's not the real deal then it can be infinitely spammed 😂)
      Or he says at a random person: ''you, cannot hide from me Evil Being''
      And when the Barbarian's Companions are trying to give their apologies to the random person
      He/She reveales his true nature meanwhile asking: ''how did you see trought my true form?''
      Bonus point if there's an actual Paladin in the Party and the Barbarian successfully able to make others think he is more of a Paladin then the actual player 😂

The day a being approached him and offered him power he started telling everyone he was a paladin including a paladin order we met. My only reason was i could smite and got my powers from what i believed to be a god. I was great at deception so i ended up about to join their order for real before the game fell apart.

    I've run a similar build, but it had exactly 3 levels in Warlock.
    Because a local Goddess of Mead and Bees, thought the barbarian was cute, in a violent special needs child sort of way, and started giving him a few boosts.
    His eldritch Blast was mechanically the same, but took the form of a honey colored light that was limited to the blade of his weapon, and he could heal, because pact of the tome, but his tome was not in his possession, because he couldnt be trusted to not lose it.
    As she was a lesser goddess, she didnt have the power to make him a full on paladin, so by running Warlock Mechanics, with a bit of reflavoring, Bok 'The Bear' Stabler, son of a horse groomer and a Mead Maiden, became Bok 'The Honey Badger' Stabler, who had an innate ability to speak with bees, and heal.
    As a side effect of his healing, the patient has the sweet taste of raw honey lingering their mouth.

  • @piranhaplantX

    This is basically the reason for oh so many redundant homebrews. People can't separate the name we give the piles of mechanics we call classes and their class features from how these things would actually seem from the perspective of characters in the world.
    For the people in the back, characters (PCs and npcs) can't read the PHB, and they don't see our class names above our head. To them a rogue that fights with a shortsword and a fighter that fights with a shortsword will both probably be seen the same. Similarly, a cleric and a warlock with healing spells that wears priestly gear will both probably be seen as holy mages/healers/etc to your average citizen.

    • @Dragowolf_Rising
      @Dragowolf_Rising Год назад +1

      My first warlock had been a wizard's apprentice and became a warlock by accident through a cursed book (basically one of Hermaeus Mora's black books). That book was also her book of shadows/ancient secrets and she had an owl familiar, so as far as she was concerned and as far as our adventuring party knew, she was a wizard. What else do you call a magic slinging lady who always has her nose in a book and talks to an owl?

    • @gsgaming6976
      @gsgaming6976 Год назад

      Counterpoint - it's nice to know what sort of "piles of mechanics" you can expect from a specific class/race when you actually expect to be effective in the things you want to be able to do. Not everyone wants to read through hundreds of pages of text, different feats, spells, etc to be able to make a functioning character concept. Specifically I'm thinking back to the 3.5 days, with all the supplemental texts and prestige classes that added new abilities etc.
      But yeah, I get it, call your Rogue or Monk a Ninja if you want to.

  • @MrBoltstrike
    @MrBoltstrike Год назад +1

    The last part is important.
    Nobody can see what your class is. That guy with a tome might just be a scribe or a fighter who likes to read old texts, not a scribes wizard. That priest in church could just be a dude and not blessed with divine powers like a cleric. Anyone in armor who serves a righteous deity can call themselves a Paladin, and Paladins in 5e don't even need to serve a deity! But those urchins are all rogues, but they're probably not the rogue class. Only you and the DM know what your class is. The rest is your story and how you present yourself.
    Similarly, nobody can see your alignment. Not all warlocks are trapped in dark bargains or serve sinister forces.

    Without beeing stupid?
    Aasimar Race for Lay on Hands and Wings firsthand.
    Zealot Barb can do, but....
    ....I would go for Multiclass with *Ancestoral Guardian* and *"Celestial Warlock"*
    Your Char is stemming from a Group of Paladins.
    Your Ancestors are "send by the God you serve to protect him".
    As you lacked the other Paladins Talents, you resorted to a deep Prayer to the God - "and he/she/it answered", granting you a Part of its Power, result in 3 Levels of Celestial Warlock spread out on 2nd, 7th and 8th Level.
    By taking 7th and 8th Level Warlock, you gain the Chance to pick "Pact of the Blade" and gain the "Eldritch Smite". Thirsting Blade is useless as it doubles with Barbs Extra Attack.
    Improved Pact Weapon is a possible Addition - because you now get advantages.
    But I would go "Devils Sight" for 120ft Darkvision.
    Equipment: Shield and Armor plus Longsword with a plus (x Dice) Damagebonus.
    Barbs get most effect on +Dx Damage Weaponry - thus, still get the +1 to Hit from Improved Weapon on top (not on Damage), but that is mostly all.
    Also, you get "Lesser Restoration" as well as Cure Wounds" when not Raging.
    So, a Ring of Spell Storing is an absolute necessity to mitigate low Spellslots by doubling them effectiveley.
    If aiming at Full Plate - make it Mithral Armor.
    I prefer Half Plate and retain a +2 for Dex, but that is depending on my Stats.
    Con is definetly most important and a Cha:13 is mandatory.
    But now we have it working fine. As, Ancestral Warriors go on your first Target attacked - including ranged Attacks. Even EB counts.
    And you could go on full Dex as well and use Studded Leather and use a finesse Weapon.
    As Weaponry, Rapier and Whip comes to mind aside a Ranged Weapon with that you can Smite while knocking Prone the Target automatically or have him have disadvantage on attacks other than you plus EVERYONE aside you having Resistance against his Damage.
    If you insist and GM is ok, chuck in your Fighters Battle Masters Precision Attack plus Archer Style, but that is not needed at all - attacking is sufficient, you do not have to hit for that Effect.
    If you forgo any range Options in terms of "real fighting" (yes, a ranged Setup works fine but bites itself with the Rage Bonus Effects), you go Longsword/Shield with +xDx on Sword and +x on the Shield.
    Have Fun able to hit Hard and mitigate Damage as fuck.
