      Not just that, she learned her bending directly from the beings that first taught earthbending to humans. So the whole connected with nature qnd powers learned frkm a benevolent nature spirit vide is very much there and perfectly jives with druid.

      Been thinking up a firebending build recently. Stats go 15 Cha, 14 Con, 13 Dex, 12 Str, 10 Int, 8 Wis. Go V. Human with +1s in Cha/Dex and Elemental Adept (Fire) to get around the fact that everything resists fire. Start as a Draconic Bloodline (Red or Gold) sorcerer, take firebolt and any other fire related stuff I don't mention later on as you go. First ASI, bump your Cha up. Once you hit 6 Sorcerer you add your Charisma onto one damage roll of any fire spells you do.
      From here start going into Warlock, specifically Pact of the Celestial (Pick Ran, the red dragon from the temple where Zuko and Aang learn firebending together as your patron if your DM is a stickler for you needing one). Cantrips are up to personal preference here but as you grab Warlock levels two important spells to grab are Flaming Sphere and Hellish Rebuke which Sorcerers don't get. Warlock your way up to level 6; when you hit level 3 pick Pact of the Tome to get Produce Flame as the final piece of fire cantrip goodness you couldn't get before and Word of Radiance for AoE Holy Fire. Max your Charisma at 4 warlock (10 total level).
      At 6 warlock you can add your charisma mod to one damage roll of any radiant or fire spells you do. This stacks with the similar feature from Sorcerer, meaning you add 10 (TEN!) damage to every fire spell you cast, which in combination with Elemental Adept treating ones your roll as twos means that each firebolt you throw out deals 3d10+10 damage, and has a minimum damage of 16 (for comparison, the AVERAGE roll for a standard firebolt at your level is 16.5) and a maximum of 40 damage.
      If you really want to get the Blue spirit proficiencies take 1 level of Fighter for Scimitar Proficiency and Two Weapon fighting style, but doing this means you miss out on a dope capstone.
      Rest of the way throw your levels into Sorcerer. This gives you 13 Sorc/6Lock/1Fighter, which is cool and all because you still get 7th level spells, but if you skipped Fighter (you can use an ASI for the Weapon Master feat if you really want to use Scimitars without skipping this capstone) you have 14Sorc/6Lock. This means you get DRAGON WINGS at 14th level sorcerer. While not in character technically is still very cool.
      All in all this gives you 4*First,3*Second,3*Third,3*Fourth,2*Fifth,1*Sixth,1*Seventh spell slots that come back on a long rest as well as 2 Third level spell slots that come back on a short rest, 14 Sorcery points to spend speeding up, empowering or twinning your fiery wrath or convert into more slots to throw at people, another 2 ASIs to spend chunking up your AC or getting cool feats like warcaster and inspiring leader, plus 3 invocations to use where you want them (I like Book of Ancient Secrets, Aspect of the Moon and Devil's Sight) as well as a solid 142 HP and an unarmoured AC of 15 which is very chunky for what effectively amounts to a blaster mage. Go forth, throw fireballs, reclaim your H O N O R and have fun!

    Shit, I was worried she would be the next Avatar character, because I'm not sure how Earthbending works in this context. I think I've got it though. She has strengths in brawling and heavy armor since Earthbending's primarily defensive and weaknesses in riding and flying since she needs to be connected to the ground in order to 'see' things, as well as both types of magic since that requires the ability to read.
    She has high offense and defense but low HP and speed.

    Earth Tremor: replicating her shifting the ground beneath an opponents feet to knock them off balance.
    Blindness/Deafness: throwing dirt in the enemies eyes.
    Maximillian’s Earthen Grasp: Using the Earth to prevent an enemy and damaging them. One of the most Earth bendy moves.
    Dust Devil: kinda air bendery but think of it as sand bending
    Move Earth: Not really battle magic but it’s pretty good earth bender mentality to think of how you can change the environment to your advantage.
    Sword Burst: this could be reflavored as piercing sharp rocks springing out from underneath you but unfortunately druids don’t get this
    Magic Stone: literally throwing magic charged rocks at people rocks. Pretty much useless at higher levels since this cantrip doesn’t level with you.

      Also, quick note, without Homebrew, you can’t get blind fighter if you don’t put a part into fighter class.
      I’m also gonna say, that there is never a best way to make someone in D&D. One of the problems I can’t see past is being blind without using vibrations to see. And sorry if this is too long for you, I have no idea how to compact my messages. 🙃

      I'd likely go a few levels in to Sun soul for the ranged attack, at least. Is there a spell or class ability that allows a sanctuary-like aura? I can't think of one off the top of my head, but cleric/paladin spells aren't my strong suit.

    • @spiritandsteel
      @spiritandsteel 4 года назад +4

      I don't know that there's a good way to simulate that with 5e rules. I can't really think of anything that specifically affects or moves metal (other than Heat Metal, which ain't really her thing). A lot of her abilities could be re-flavored to say they're working with metal, like spike growth or entangle or the like, but I don't know how else you could represent it. Any thoughts?

  • @oldmanstrikerbolt5115
    @oldmanstrikerbolt5115 4 года назад +1

    this is really good. made a few tweaks for myself since Blind Fighting isn't available on D&D beyond at the moment: 8 monk/12 druid, traded out animal handling for insight (she is really good at telling when someone is lying, after all), and gave her the noble background (she does come from a rich house, even though she doesn't show it). Upside is she gets that last ASI. Downside to these tradeoffs is she loses Performance, and there's nothing in the build to say she IS blind, but whatever. The rest of the build is damn good and looks fun to play sometime.

  • @ThomasBD
    @ThomasBD 4 года назад +1

    Oh, I just bought the Grim Hollow book and in it there's a new Feat "Blood Hound" that makes it completely unnecessary to take an entire level on fighter.
    You are aware of any creature that's 10ft close to you, you don't have the attack disadvantage thingy and you even have advantage ou Perception and Survival rolls that rely on smell or sound.
    That with alert I think are already perfect for the blindness part of the character.

What specifically denotes them as unarmed attacks is that they use Brawling and Species, fight me.

I'm following the video to make the character and I do not have Blind Fighting as an option for fighting style. I checked the sources to be used for the character creation and there is no Unearthed Arcana. Did they take things out or am I totally missing something?
