    For the locathah, id say make em a artificer and maybe construct a suit filled with water, or go into the nearby blacksmith maybe dwarven blacksmith and have it custom made. Very vulnerable but negates the biggest downside of it. Then you just have free benefits until your suit gets broken or maybe you need to replace the water after a few days.

    Best thing about being a Tortle, when the Paladin, strength-based Fighter, Barbarian or Heavy Armor Proficient Cleric are low on HP, and the Circle of the Moon Druid is out of Wild Shapes, and low on HP, a Tortle of any class can come up, and act as an Emergency Tank, due to their 17 AC.

    My best friend made a Tortle Monk, and as I'm sure you've guessed, he's got 3 brothers who are also monks, and they joined their monastery at an early age; as teenagers, one might say. They trained hard and left the monastery to do good in the world and fight the forces of evil, traveling together in their own little band, and what's more, their names are:
    Paul, John, George, and Ringo.

  • @shanedavis2642
    @shanedavis2642 4 года назад +4

    My Tortle was a Paladin multiclassed with a Moon Druid, something made much easier by the Strength and Wisdom bump for reaching those minimum required stats. Smite and Bite is an incredibly fun thing to do, especially with the errata that lets you burn Druid spell slots for smites, so I reccomend Paladin 2/Druid 18 highly for Tortle. Their Armor Class also helps a lot when you don't have any Wildshapes left.
    Dragonborn also have stas in the right place for that particular build, with a boost to strength and Charisma.

      Yeah, if it was 4 Hours/Day then that would be more viable because of Create & Destroy Water as well as Create Food & Water. But every 4 hours, would be challenging if not in an Aquatic themed Campaign, or if it isn't otherwise Homebrewed/House-Ruled to be 4 Hours/Day.

  • @Zankaroo
    @Zankaroo 4 года назад +1

    You skipped over the fact that tortles do go prone when they retreat into their shells so melee enemies have advantage to hit your 21 AC and you will probably get hit by fireballs with disadvantage on dex, but effects that have a con or str save you have advantage on. So you have to think a little bit about if it is a good idea to withdraw into your shell or not. Really good though if archers are peppering you're tortle wizard and you are waiting for the rest of the party to clear them out.
