The Djinni Pirate: A Unique Rogue Warlock Multiclass Build | D&D 5e
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2023
- One of our awesome viewers Stolon the Noble challenged us to make a Genie Warlock build taking the Djinni warlock and using it as a pirate. We loved the build idea and decided to take our shot at it today!
This build combines the Hit and Run playstyle of the Swashbuckler Rogue with the Control spells of the Djinni Genie Warlock to build us a character that is very well rounded against different enemy types.

I'm always impressed at what you come up with, I'd like to see if you can make a "blind" character that uses a mount to find their way to enemies and blindfighting that is thematic and capable
Title: "Djini Pirate, a--"
Me: "Yes. No need to finish, just... yes."
A pretty cool thing you can do with Air Genasi is be small sized and take Squat Nimbleness for 40 ft. movement and the other goodies it brings (+1 DEX, a skill proficiency and advantage against grapples). Synergizes really well with Swashbuckler imo, since you can dash around more due to Fancy Footwork and a high movement is great for that!
this reminds me thematically of my squall-caller build, a mark of the storm half-elf storm sorcerer pirate who controls the wind around them to give their ship a supernatural edge. something about wind and pirates is just a fun combination I guess
Fun build. Love the theme for sure. Swashbuckler-Warlock is a bit like the not allowed Swashbuckler-Arcane Trickster, so many ways to magically enhance your roguishness.
Hey there sage. Let me drop one for the algorithm! :)
Im starting a new campaign as a player, in a desert themed setting. Im making a swashbucler fighter and i am swinging from caravan wagon to caravan wagon! But a swashbucler djinni would fit in so well!
Perhaps if my character dies...
Have a good one.
I played an Arcane Tricker/Genie who was a raiding party leader in a nautical campaign a little while back. Peaked at level 12, but was fun.
an actually clever use of Gust of Wind, combining with hit'n'run:well done!
If I were going with the Rogue/Genie Warlock pirate route, I'd lean more towards Marid for the Genie patron than Djinni. Take something like Mark of Storms Half-Elf for lineage, or Water Genasi if the DM's not allowing stuff from Eberron. Mark of Storms spell list is practically a combination of the Djinni and Marid spell lists, so it really fits well, while Water Genasi works well for naval-based campaigns with the swim speed, water breathing, and water walk. Fog Cloud and Sleet Storm from the Marid Patron/Mark of Storms are also really useful defensive and anti-caster abilities to have in this character's arsenal.
Alternatively, for a less water-based theme, I'd go Bugbear with the Dao Genie patron. Bugbear gives extra reach for melee attacks, making it even easier to avoid opportunity attacks while running in and out of melee. Dao's Genie's Wrath adds bludgeoning damage to one attack per round, opening up shenanigans with the Crusher feat to force a disengage if your enemy catches up to you. Dao also has the most powerful Elemental Gift, since it gives blanket resistance to bludgeoning damage. Plus, Dao's spell list includes Spike Growth, so for enemies that are too dangerous for melee you can put a Spike Growth underneath them and then do wild Crusher shenanigans with a Hand Crossbow (which can deal some bludgeoning damage thanks to Dao's Genie's Wrath) or Eldritch Blast with Repelling Blast, Grasp of Hadar, and Dao's Genie's Wrath.
For both, I'd probably also drop dual-wielding and instead use Booming Blade to further punish enemies that try to chase me if I have advantage on the attack, or Thirsting Blade to more reliably hit if I don't.
Actually, my Rogue/Warkock multickass is with only 1 lvl of Hexblade warlock and the rest is 9 lvls in swashbuckler rogue. The idea is that warlock goves you medium armor, shield and booming blade and hex which synergizes with panache
This was essentially my plan for an Aladdin build
So, one thing you could do is levitate up to the ceiling and walk on it to get a pseudo spider climb.
How about a point blank spell blunderbuss style fairy tank build? Thaks
Rodeo Clown style of ctr. They would have to be nimble, quick, can take a blow. I can see one moving around, getting the attention of the opponent. Opponent gives chase, but the Rodeo Clown can dodge etc. Also taunt opponents. This way, their group can take advantage of the opponent, because they are focus on the Rodeo Clown ctr. Stupid idea?
I played with something quite similar but with swashbuckler rogue abusing booming blade. I took efreeti warlock and intended to build around a Pirate that jumps (flies) to the other ship and cast a self targeted fireball.
I would go kobald for setting up advantage when the normal and swashbuckler ways dont work. And use hex and booming blade more in the build until i got the thirsting blade invocation than i would drop booming blade from the rotation unless i can use it for opportunity attacks using the war caster feat .
Eagle folk ranger plus zephyr gives you a 60 foot fly speed and you can attack multiple enemies without getting an attack of opportunity on you at level two.
How are you getting multiple attacks at level 2?
@@zachp1262I think he’s counting dual wielding
@@zachp1262 correct, poor choice the words on my end, not Multiple enemies. Zephyr is a bonus action so you can pull a fly by maneuver at level two. Hay I am both old and stupid, please forgive. Also the exact wording of zephyr says it increases your walking speed by 30 feet and It would be up to the DM's Discrepancy If that translates into all movement speed.
@@matthewlenard8346 if it increases Walking Speed it only increases Walking Speed. Now if an ability gave you Fly Speed equal to your walking speed, then it would benefit from Zephyr Strike
@@animefan3794 Then he can't gain the same benefits from Zephyr Strike, as both require a bonus action.
I kind of liked the look of Shield Training for Rogues with spell slots, just because the +2 AC and the focus are both useful.
Love this build! I can see earth variants for caravans, water variants for seafarers, and air variants for skyships. Fire variants, to me, are less pirate-like, but could be the ship-killers. I like genasi for this build, too, but could see Mark of Storms half-elf, duergar, tiefling, aasimar or warforged as well.
I could see the fire variant being more like a raiding horse back riding nomadic type
I just created a Dao bladelock, and was considering levels of rogue. Awesome
I went with a eladrin partly because I got to choose Revenant Blade as a free feat
Love your two pirate warlock builds, this and the Davie Jones. But what I want to see is a sorcerer pirate, and since the deadliest thing aboard a ship--especially a wooden ship--is fire, make the a pyromancer. Gimme a pyromaniac pirate flamethrower.
Death to ships, bro!
I think storm sorcerer would be really cool on a build like this. Specifically, using booming blade then flying 10ft away.
has to be a leveled spell to activate that feature. You could flavor swashbuckler's fancy footwork as wind blowing you away for a similar effect though
@@elliotbryant3459 forgot about that thx
Me: Thinking about non Hexblade melee Warlock, maybe scimitar dual wielding Genie Pact? Hmm maybe paired with Fighter or Rogue...<
Me: Sweeeeeeet.
Build challenge: A magic-user who is a Secretarian from Acquisitions Incorporated. Possibly played as a Centaur (or custom lineage flavored as a horse - Secretariat the Secretarian - get it?).
I think I am going to whip a character like this up, and then base his personality on Rudy Ayoub's "Arab Dad" character
Id love to see a gunk build
Ive been coming up with some of my own but id like to hear what you have to say about it
Can u do a hex specialist build?
Do you Levitate from the surface you were Levitated from? Or is it geosynchronous ? If the ship keeps moving while you're levitating someone that could be very bad for your enemies.
Heavyarms has this VERY cool gunslinger homebrew, I know you donmt usually do that but it would be cool to see your take on that build, a Ghost Hunting Cowboy would be INSANE
Can you do a paladin barbarian multiclass that focuses on barbarian
How about a none flying build that takes advantage of fall damage
The luchador! Take abberant dragon mark to take the jump spell every short rest.
Be a barbarian! Then just suplex or do all your stylish moves from the air! Death from above!
(Very much up to your dm on how good it is, but always very fun)
Can you make the most optimized damage monk?

This build came to mind. Hope you enjoy!
I really wanna build a zephyr’s strike rogue but I feel like I need too many levels in ranger for it to be most effective.. do you have a build somewhere based on this concept? (Also not the biggest game of arcane trickster but i see it’s boo.. I just prefer swashbuckler)
Sprinkle in some bard for arcane secrets to get your zephyr strike
@@wildewalker I like this.. just lore bard 6 just for zephyr feels eh.. though.. that would give me plenty of spell spots and free me from arcane trickster… hmmm solid suggestion! Thank you
I've always wanted to play a martial artis that mixes magic with his martial art, but we all know way of the four elements monk is lackluster =/ and monk/wiz multiclass is less than optimal and i don't know how to make it work. any idea for a martial artis spellcaster build? I want to punch/kick things in the face and maybe throw a spell afterwards
Minotaur or Satyr eldritch knight with natural weapon horns, unarmed fighting style, strength for grapples, possibly 3 levels shadow sorcerer for the 'maze' flavour, quickened spell metamagic and beg your DM for eldritch claw tattoo. Headbutts galore.
Remember that monk is Wisdom heavy, so consider Cleric or Druid for your magic. I like some druid magic on my monk and martial arts in my wild shape. Primary wisdom, secondary dexterity, tertiary constitution. Thorn whip to drag your enemies in. Spike growth to give them some troubles. Or entangle and then dance around them doing lots of little strikes.
Dex based: start with 1 level of monk (for dex unarmed strikes and 1 no-cost unarmed strike as a bonus action on your turn). Next take 6 levels of bladesinger wizard. After that you can take: 2 or levels of fighter [unarmed fighting style and action surge to cast a spell after using attack action (if going to fighter 3 I would recommend battle master so you can do more with your martial attacks) And/Or 1-2 more levels of for step of the wind mobility, flurry of blows and possibly a monk subclass (kensei or mercy could be good) And/Or more wizard levels. Starting as variant human/custom lineage for fighting initiate-unarmed fighting could help with damage if you don't want to take any fighter levels.
Str based: start as fighter 1 or 2 [armor proficiency, unarmed fighting style, action surge if 2] and then access extra attack from Valor or Swords bard 6 [RAW, blade warlock wouldn't be an option because thirsting blade's extra attack is limited to pact weapon rather than permitting unarmed strikes]. Alternatively, if you don't mind delaying spell casting you could get extra attack from fighter 5 [eldritch knight would still have a little casting] and then take caster levels in whatever caster class [bladesinger is of limited value since this character would want to use heavy or medium armor for its ac]
Or an Int based build: take 5 levels of armorer artificer and flavor the delivery of thunder gauntlets as martial arts style fighting. Then you could take wizard levels for faster caster progression and/or fighter levels for action surge, a fighting style and maybe a fighter subclass.
For any of these builds I would recommend taking mobile along the way [crusher could be good for the the str and dex builds as well]
