- Today we have a build for Killer Frost from DC Comics in Dungeons & Dragons. If you're looking to mix sorcerer and warlock together for a cryomancy build in D&D 5e, this is a solid build for you

so, i did a quick google search for DC ice villains, and there are at least 10. Honestly surprised there hasnt been an event comic series called "ice age" where they introduce a few extras and an 'Ice Queen" character then make everyone put their comics on hold to stop a bunch of cold themed villains from freezing the earth.
There’s a Young Justice episode
Actually, not all of the ice villains would want that goal because I know for a fact that Killer Frost wouldn't want to freeze the world because she needs heat to absorb or else she would die. Plus, Minister Blizzard would be the best choice as a leader because he literally was the political leader of a country of ice people.
@@jasonmacendale8378 you could do something with that, like the villains who would go against that sort of plan have some secret backdoor deals or whatever, like maybe one of them are getting a massive power boost and plan on betraying the plan once those powers are locked in, or their being manipulated or promised dominion over the last hot spot on earth or whatever. Turn those plot holes into drama.
@@noahspadgenske9875 yeah, pretty sure there was also a killer frost, captain cold, mr freeze, and ice team up at the start of one of the dc animated movies too, but I'm talking full blown event comic you know?
In this economy?
There is a welding technique where you basicly freeze objects together so mending still works
Yeah, cold welding is a major concern in space engineering - I'm kind of shocked and impressed Tulok worked that into the build.
Why no Transmuted Spell as a Metamagic Option? When you're single-elements focused, just make everything that element.
We really need an official water/ice sorcerer subclass
There is a D&D/MtG crossover setting called 'Plane Shift - Kaladesh' that introduces a sorcerer subclass (the pyromancer) that can *almost* fit this role by changing the element type. It's not fantastic, but it's a start.
Yeah, I also saw online a homebrew that focused on Ice/Water, and once they had a UA for Sea Sorcerer.
@@MajorHickE I'm pretty sure it says in the book that you can element-swap the phyromancer, so from what I'm aware it's the most official cryomancer. Some DMs might not allow anything from the crossover books, though
Levitus Tiefling may work. Ray of frost cantrip, 3rd level once per rest Armor of Agathys, and 5th level once per rest Darkness. All charisma based.
Also works thematically since your patron can be Levitus for fiend AND you even mentioned the tomb invocation
Winter Eladrin also tho the fey step might not be as valuable on a ranged character it still has its uses
In the first episode of young justice there are 4 simultaneous ice-villains attacks
How do I build Finn the Human and Jake the Dog, another two for one video, nothing says a wholesome dnd party than a boy and his dog bro.
So if you're watching Young Justice dose that mean that we can get builds for Superboy and Miss Martin? I'd also be down for Cheshire.
Miss Martian is an Aberrant Mind Changeling
In reference to the mending spell, ironically yes, super cold temps can weld metal together.
FROST!
i mean FIRST!
dammit :P
"Killer Sauce" is a very quality joke.
Hey I wrote this video :)
Good job Mason! Any new monsters soon?
@@AwesomeWookiee yep! Been busy with some other things, but new monsters coming soon :)
The ice jokes reminds me of how Captain Cold once broke off a man's jaw for calling him Freeze.
Saddened that we couldn't have a Foreigner - Cold As Ice joke. XD
Or Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby
@@ArmageddonAngel 2:28
"One of three cold-based supervillains in the DC universe."
Oh, there's definitely more than three. Wonder Woman alone has two notable unrelated cold villains, and neither is one of the three I'm assuming are being referenced here (Killer Frost, Captain Cold, Mr. Freeze). Elemental themes are straightforward and work well visually, which makes them a pretty common well to pull from.
Another ice build for that all ice group. No I will not make an ice pun! I don't snow what you were expecting?
Did Schwarzenegger write the script for this video?
Shoutout Tulok's Draconic Lord Warlock
Make Ronan the Accuser from the Guardians of the Galaxy(1) please!
You know, looking at just the list of cantrips makes me realize... There are honestly no other real options other then fire and ice spells. I'd love to see a version of this character based of necrotic, psychic or even force damage.
Shocking grasp, acid splash, vicious mockery, mind sliver, eldritch blast
I wanna see Captain Rex, or ARC trooper builds 🥺
I recently realised that Elemental characters don't have stick to one damage type.
Cryomancy: Acid/Poison/Necrotic because well liquid gas is really bad for you. Bludgeoning because hurling blocks of ice. Cold because of those chills. Piercing/Slashing because sometimes ice is sharp. Psychic because cryomancy can be scary. Ironically enough you can use the same concept of a freezer to super chill one area by absorbing heat. The area where the heat is absorbed happens to be where your enemies are and voila fire damage!
Electromancy: Acid because if your thunder and lightning comes from the sky, maybe it is accompanied by acid rain. Fire because lightning is often really, really hot. Lightning to shock targets. Radiant because lightning is really bright. Thunder because well electricity can be loud. Psychic because thunder and lightning can be scary. Since electromancy deals in electricity, fridges and freezers require electricity, you can deal cold damage!
Pyromancy: Acid for chemical fires. Fire covers the actual heat of a fire. Poison for all that smoke suffocating you. Lightning for electrical fires. Necrotic because all that smoke can't be good for you. Radiant to channel the power of the sun into your attacks. Thunder for loud explosions. Psychic because fire is just plain scary. Ironically you could make a case for cold damage. You could use "pyromancy" to make the point of origin absorb heat, taking it away from targets within the area of effect, thus dealing cold damage. You can also use fire based explosions to hurl objects dealing piercing, Slashing or Bludgeoning damage. Fire is often used to generate electricity, so lighting damage.
Isn't killer sauce just the new 52 condiment king?
I DESPERATELY need to get around to watching the Flash... been missing out on seeing my fellow Pirate Birthday's villainous performances, and I've been thinking for years that I thought she'd be an amazing villain...
Have you considered making Adam, from Records of Ragnarok? He's a really *cool* character! 😎
Mr 0.00000000000000001
Yeah, Thematic builds are RARELY as effective as non-Thematic ones. (unless purposely hamstrung)
But that doesn't mean I don't love them! (Heck, I did a 3.0 version of The Human Torch? Or something. Total FIRE sorcerer. It was fun, but short-lived. It was near the end of our group.)
I still expect a separate build for Elsa, maybe with some levels of Creation Bard?
Killer Sauce, is that a lizardfolk acid-sorcerer with the Chef's feat? Cause I'd totally rock that character.
I see Catapult being an appropriate spell. Just yeet some ice at someone and let them catch it.
Surprised you called her a vampire and didn't go Dhampir. Flavour wise this would've been fun
I kinda in Love with Caitlin
Who's the shirtless pretty boy with the claws?
(Asks someone unfamiliar with most of DC and who has never watched The Flash)
The one metahuman with ice themed powers that you can incarcerate on your fridge, that is quite the ironic trait that it needs heat to make cold... Darn it why this heroes make my brain hurt?!
Crystal Frost... Wha-,Louise Lincoln... Oh come on! Not again!... Ok, Caitlin Snow is the genious girl following the steps from second gal, a scientists who was trying to violate the laws of thermodynamics, which made angry the super villains of the energy industry! (And people say comics don't relate to real life) forcing her to break her invention to save herself from a non cinnamon-death, turning herself into a heat vampire! Eventually learning to accept this as a chronic condition rather than a curse when she had to make the moral decision to save the world. With a brilliant mind and equally strong will maybe her unstable powers can be used for good, but i would be wary since I heard she is friend with the Mexican devil! (Who else knew hell was there all along?).
I'm getting tired at work if I'm letting out an allways important Tangle the lemur build request for Sir Tulok! It's the same for meta powers that need fuel i guess but is certainly UNACCEPTABLE! Thanks for this build as always, the quality of the dialogue is always a win in my book.
Are you okay? I feel like your Tangle comments are like watching someone have a stroke at this point.
@@itwasidio1736 it is a busy week, work trip and making a lot of informs, so I'm kinda short of time and energy sometimes, nothing bad tbh.
@@nicolasvillasecaali7662 Cool, just checking in the best I can what with being a stranger on the internet.
I think necrotic is always paired with ice for some reason
I insist that you make the Leader, who is Hulks arch enemy.
Tulok you should try and do Hexxus from Ferngully, been struggling with how to make him into a playable character
Alchemist artificer changeling? Focus your spell list on dealing acid/poison/fire damage with technology, shapeshift freely, try to manipulate governments/industry to destroy the world?
Well plasmoid for starters, why have an ooze race if you're not going to use it for ooze characters. I could see hexxas as a necromancer with a lot of poison/acid/necrotic spells, but ironically I could see him equally well as a circle of spores Druid, throwing around clouds of toxic gas.
Addiction to Chow Mein
Not to argue too much, but a surprise snow storm that cancels school is still great as an adult when you work from home. Just saying.
How often do l make jokes about chemistry? Periodically.
Isn't Vampiric Touch only for Wizards, Warlocks, and Grave domain Death domain clerics, if I recall correctly?
Tasha's Cauldron of Everything adds it to their list
Yes. And sorcerer. I had to pull up a spell list but yes. Sorcerers are listed as optional on the spell
When will the poll for The Thing and Quicksilver be available?
Finally an elsa build
You should build Jack Frost from rise of the guardians
...can you cast True Strike as an action, and then Quicken Spell a leveled spell like Ice Knife or Chromatic Orb so that you roll the attack with advantage?
Technically, I'd say no. Only because the wording of True Strike states, "on your next turn". If it said on your next attack roll before the spell ends, it would.
I've been wanting this for *ages*! Caitlin Snow is my favorite DC character; I *loved* her development in Justice League vs Suicide Squad!
Speaking of the Suicide Squad, do you foresee an Enchantress build at any point in the distant future? I think playing an innocent artist who has an evil sorceress inside her sounds fun.
Loving the keming on this cool lady!
What's cooler than cool?
9:10 It just occurred to me: There's a bit in JLA Rebirth where we learn that Frost can sense if there are people nearby by detecting their heat signatures- I think you could easily reflavor Devil's Sight like that!
Would you be willing to make a Thorfinn (Vinland Saga) build? I was thinking he would be rouge/Fighter (Battle Master) but wasn't sure how to go about it.
True Strike is like the Dan Hibiki of Cantrips...
Do you think mirajane from fairytale would work at all?
Hmmmm. How about The Undertaker from the WWF
Pontiff Sulyvahn build?
Another day of asking for a Engineer as an Artificer Bard
Jesse Faden also has the big damage as well as stealing life from enemies. And it only now just occurred to me that you could use Fiend for The Board, so that's ANOTHER possible patron.
I would consider The Board to be more unknowable eldritch entity than infernal or abyssal. There's no real explanation of what exactly The Board is, but they are definitely Not From Around Here.
That's a really great game, isn't it?
@@cody-adricharper5848 Yep. Def one of my favorite games. And I've determined that, if you want to be flexible, The Board could either be a Celestial, Fiend, Great Old One, Hexblade, or Fey Patron. Lot of flexibility, depending on how you want to describe it.
True. They just strike me as non-malevolent outsiders. But I can see the other interpretations as well.
@@cody-adricharper5848 All we KNOW about them is that they are something from somewhere else, with unknown goals, that has caused an independent organization to become dependent on them. And we know that they HAVE deliberately withheld things from Jesse. With the two gun upgrades in the dlc, The Board made it seem like she physically couldn't take both, but backtracked when The Former offered her the other.
I don't remember that. I should replay it.
Could the superheroine Ice defeat her?
The enchanting spells a little forced
Could you do itachi please
you should do the mad hatter!!
Kite Man! HELL YEA!
Still pulling for Eglentine Price (Bednobs and Broomsticks), Winifred Sanderson (Hocus Pocus), Doctor Dolittle, Councilor Troi (Star Trek: tNG), Mary Poppins, the Reverend Doctor Syn (The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh), and Sir Dragonet King Arthur's jester (le Morte d'Arthur/ Idylls of the King).
Counselor Troi, lvl 5 commoner who can cast zone of truth once or twice a season.... 😏🤣
@@theonlymatthew.l telepathic feat
@@toxxaniusornica824 They repeatedly state in the series she's not telepathic.... 🤷♂️
@@theonlymatthew.l Telempathic, like telepathy but focused on emotions, is what they say Troi is.
@@thomasdevine867 yeah it's called being empathic...
Another great vid, now when are you going to get around to Flash Gordon?
Isn't she always portrayed as honey in everything?
Genshin Impact build when?
Can you do silver banshee next!!
Do Bray Wyatt, malakai black or finn balor
Oh hey a new true strike joke!
Mary Poppins next?
She’s also a NICE lady
Where is Shantae?
A real cold killer
Winter eladrin
I'm surprised you didn't pick pyromancer and just flavor it into another ice. That's what I did for my Jack Frost character for an Xmas one shot. But this way is a good one too actually!
Tulok tends to not use older Unearthed Arcana anyway- mostly just the content that's still in its testing phase.
Is it an official subclas?
@@soysaucerb its not unearthed anymore its part of plane shift
@@toxxaniusornica824 google says it was a part of plane shift- Kaladesh. Same one the that had the vampire race.
That's fair. He doesn't tend to use module content either, though.
Thanks.
Day 8 of asking for how to play Buster Scruggs in D&D.
One thing is I'm curious why you went Fiendlock over hexblade. Hexblade gives melee capabilities (Ice Sword anyone?) plus Hexblade's Curse also has the HP thing when you kill an enemy affected by it, and it's not temporary like fiendlock. Yes it has limited use but it feels more in flavor, plus the expanded spell list fits cold much better than fiendlock's
Also temp HP doesn't stack w armor of agathys so hexblade is better
I am once again requesting Kurapika from Hunter X Hunter
An ice comment
You should start using homebrew to spice things up using various sources and your own ideas can help a lot.
