    I played a character like this in 4e. I saw him as Data from the Goonies at low levels, through Boba Fett at mid levels, and then Iron Man at high levels. He was a lot of fun.

    Hexblade Warlock is perfect for this build as Tony essentially pledges his soul, not to a weapon, but to his armor. It becomes perhaps THE thing that identifies him to himself.

    I've been thinking about this build. I have nothing to add mechanically except saying that I've never liked when multiclassing incorporates a huge amount of classes and yet I still liked how this build came out.
    But I was thinking about the Hexblade, thinking about you weren't sure how to incorporate it narratively and it was just "too good". I think in this case, the 'Shadowfell' could work as a metaphor for what Tony sees when he closes his eyes. Shadowy weapons bearing his name, responsible for endless atrocities. I think that's quite cool.

    This is actually a great build, well done!
    For hypnotic pattern flavoring, in the comic series Planet Hulk Tony used a specially configured light array emitted from his gauntlets that pacifier and subdued the Hulk in order to get him into a ship.
    Never seen it in the MCU, but it’s not a stretch at all to say that he has that built in imo.

    This is REALLY cool build! Honestly i was thinking a lot about building Iron man in dnd and A LOT of my ideas we described in this video! I have my own view if this build, with slight differences. For example as a 1st feat i would definitely give Keen Mind because of exceptional intelligence of Tony, and also it gives +1 to int, so it will increase an intelligence from the very beginning. Overall - amazing video, THANKS!

    I feel like you kinda messed up at the very beginning. Should be a Standard Human. The feat isn't that important, but getting all those extra points is way better.
    Str 8
    Dex 11
    Con 15
    Int 15
    Wis 10
    Cha 12
    All +1
    The background should also be Noble. Reason being you get the Position of Privilege perk... Which I see you mentioned. Well done.
    I'm with you on the few level dips of Hexblade. The Shield spell is perfect here. Also Eldridge Blast is great.
    I'm with you so far. Up to level 6.
    Great Job mentioning Magic Missile. It gets SO GOOD with an Armorer.
    Not with you on the Sorcerer dip though. I prefer to Stay Artificer until after level 6. Upping the damage being done.
    But then Jumping to Wizard. Abjuration Wizard. This gives him the durability we expect from Iron Man.
    But all in all you did a pretty great build also.

  • @Pondering133
    @Pondering133 2 года назад +1

    Prior to Armorer being released I was trying to get Eldritch Blast to work on my War Machine Artillerist Artificer (with heavy armor proficiency). On a full level 20 build-out I really want to stay Artificer all the way as I believe the capstone is amazing. If I know for sure the campaign is ending early I'll multiclass.
    Edit: Was also a warforged to fit the theme. It's difficult to evaluate but having more magic item attunements and more infusions on the armorer (depending on the campaign) may open up a whole lot of options. If the DM plays nice with magic item crafting that's a plus as well.

    • @cmccbuilds8229
      @cmccbuilds8229  Год назад

      You need those levels in sorc unfortunately. 18/2 split is fine but not as accurate. The goal here is accuracy. As mentioned in the video, the original build was artifcer18/warlock2, but it wasn't an all encompassing iron man build.
      And as always, the goal is to present the most accurate version, with as much multiclassing as needed, and allow you to parse it down to the specific build you want to play.
      If 18/2 feels better for you, that's the one for you :)

      Sorry never replied. You’d lose a lot in terms of total spells known. You could make it work with 6 total spells known and 3 cantrips, but you’d miss out on important spells.
      Sorcerer gives 5 cantrips and 6 spells at level 5. Warlock gives 3 and 6 at 5. We need pretty much all of those cantrips and many of the spells.
      Warlock also doesn’t have access to light, fire bolt, mending, and message (the latter two absolutely necessary). Burning Hands, Blindness/Deafness, and Fireball are all necessary leveled spells that warlocks don’t have access to.
      Hope that answers your questions. I can also talk about the thematic advantages to clockwork soul but I think I hit that in the video.

    I like it, but since I also use Faerie Fire for my Armorer Artificer, I think it does not fit with a HUD, because other people in the party can benefit from it as well (this spell has been MVP in a couple of our battles), I am still unsure how to convey it in game (maybe tracker ammunition with sound or sparkles, especially since the spell save is dexterity).

      No, his repulsors are the thunderwave spell, which he gets as an armorer. My Ironman is an armorer artificer/scribes wizard. The manifest mind is Jarvis. War wizard is my second choice. Arcane deflection, tactical wit, even power surge works for an Ironman. Art14/Wiz6. Thunderwave is your spell-storing spell. Helm of awareness instead of the alertness feat.
