  • Today we have a build for the Alien and the Predator in Dungeons & Dragons! Which build is scarier, the monster slinking through vents to ambush it's prey, or the dedicated hunter with all the technology you can get in D&D 5e?

      I mean, it could actually be a decent motivation. As long as your character isn't stupid, they'll know that they aren't strong enough to kill a Tarasque (yet) - so everything they do will be in favour of getting stronger and more skilled aka. levelling up. There are worse backgrounds than "training to one day slay the deadliest beast on earth".

  • @lordnul1708
    @lordnul1708 3 года назад +503

    Fun fact, the predators' species actually has a pretty strict honor system. A couple examples include:
    -Targets considered "defenseless" such as kids and pregnant women and targets who's deaths would negatively impact said "defenseless" targets (such as physicians) are considered off limits (unless a facehugger got to them already, by which point it's practically a mercy).
    -If a predator loses a one on one duel against you, they have to either give you one of their weapons (marking you as an honorary member of the species) or detonate the bomb as is the case with most failed hunts. Basically either say your opponent is that good, or be so petty that you ensure everyone dies.

    • @DareMurdok
      @DareMurdok 3 года назад +68

      absolutely!
      as far as the targets thing, Tulok even used the clip from AVP of sparing that scientist because by looking at his chest he could see he was dying from a disease (cancer i think) and spared him.
      (however did retaliate after the scientist attacks him)
      there are various instances of yautja being allies with humans against the xenomorphs so they're not full stop going to kill every human they see.
      It depends on the individual though.
      In one of the novels, a yautja teamed up with a human but died, but before he did he 'blooded' her with his sigil as a hunter, which meant the next time she met more yautjas they had to welcome her to the next hunt.

      -Making your hammer deal damage that could be associated with all 5 elements from Star Allies.
      -a buncha HP
      -the most ridiculous crit I've ever seen (2d10+2d4+2d6+8d8+5)
      -The ability to Haste himself.
      -both Great Weapon Fighting and Dueling to deliver the goods whether you use one hand or two
      -+12to hit with Magic Weapon or Elemental Weapon
      -an average of 52 damage per round while Haste is active without factoring in Divine Smite

      @@gamecavalier3230 Well, before the Artificer was officially published, there were two beta versions on U.A. (technicly three, but the first was a wizard subclass. There was also a cleric adaptation made by the creator of Eberron, but thats another story). The first version had two subclasses, the gunsmith, which Toluk has used in the past, and a very different version of the alchemist. The second version was much closer to the final design, and came to U.A. with 4 subclasses, the three that got published, plus the archivist, which has been reworked in a wizard subclass in a later U.A. The forth subclass is the only one made after the artificer was published, the armorer.
      I intend to rework the checklist to clarify UA uses when I get the time, but for now all artificer versions are grouped toghether.

    I know it's currently UA (although soon to be published), but Armorer artificer seems to be more sufficient for the Predator. Especially if their armor is set to the infiltrator mode, greater invisibility also helps.
    As for race, Filborgs seem to be quite fitting: they are powerful builds, quite high and have some innate stealth abilities. Alternatively, you could go for Dragonborn (Draconblood), they also fit into creepy alien theme, and get up to 17 intelligence at start.

    @u.s.s.chucklefucker1657 3 года назад +2

    I'd say level 17 Brute or Eldritch Knight Fighter and level 3 Armorer Artificer Lizardfolk for the Predator.
    Standard Point Array:
    15 STR
    10 DEX
    14 CON (16 after Racial ASI)
    13 INT
    12 WIS (13 after Racial ASI)
    8 CHA
    I'd start out as an Armorer Artificer. The obvious choice would be to go with the Infiltrator Plate Armor (though the Tankier Yaut' Ja would likely get the Guardian set, as I would as well) and get the Enhanced Armor (+1 AC) and Returning Weapon (+1 and instantly returns when thrown, no Free Action, Bonus Action or Main Action necessary)
    The Fighting Styles is left up to the player as each Yaut' Ja is unique and different, but I would choose Mariner or Defense for the +1 AC, and personally, I'd just get both. Mariner at Level 1 and Defense at Level 10.
    Level 4: +2 STR for 17 STR,
    Level 6: +2 STR for 19 STR,
    Level 8: +1 STR for 20 STR and +1 WIS for 14 WIS,
    Level 12: +2 CON for 18 CON,
    Level 14: Tough Feat,
    Level 16: +2 CON for 20 CON.
    At level 13 I can have either a 21 or 23 AC before I use Shield. and a maxed attack stat. The HP will easily smack into 170+.
