"Deku has more powers in the manga!" Good news folks! Magical secrets lets you pull spells from ANY LIST! So grab literally any spell of 8th level or lower if he gets more powers. Make "Greater Restoration" one of your bard spells, just replace Warding Winds or something. Done.
That is true, for example, Black Whip can be Evard's Black Tentacles, or something like that.
@@Kytseo Yep, that spell and Fly are the big ones you need if you want manga Deku
@@Ender13123 Float's more like Levitate, though, yes?, since it's not quite flight, but midair suspension
You already knew before anyone told you didn't you
Can you do Naruto for ep 300
Remember to name all of your attacks after important locations: _Sharn Smash, Sword Coast Smash,_ and of course, _the Forgotten Realms of Smash._
Toril Smash at Lv 20?
@@pooroleostrich9553 I'd go for Material Planes of Smash
Ebberon SUMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like instead of saying Detriot Smash he'd say Waterdeep Smash
Baldur's Gate Smash would probably leave Zariel with mixed feelings
True strike is actually a Deku thing... studying an enemy to get the perfect hit off?!
He knows, and it being a thing for a lot of his builds is why he's used it many times. The snark was because he's trolling people who take things too seriously, and bash him for using it even if just for flavor.
True. Too bad it sucks.
Just attack twice.
@Kayvee
Attacking twice is better in most cases
But I also wouldn't fault someone for using it for a high level spell they wouldn't be getting more than one cast off for, for lack of high level spell slots
@Kayvee
Oh that is kinda shitty
Agreed. I like the flavor of true strike, so I definitely get it when it's used for roleplay stuff. Although I prefer homebrewing it to adjust the strength to make it more viable. Adding a 1d4 to the attack's damage would probably be reasonable.
Normal human is actually a pretty genius move. Deku doesn't have a quirk at first, so it makes sense for DnDeku to be missing a feat.
It also helps him have +2 in most abilities, I think it is Point Buy viable
Point Buy gives you 27 points, you start with 8 in all stats; adding 2 to all of them takes 12 points so you then have 15 left which means you can put 3 points into 5 stats so yeah, it's technically still legal
You’re really going beyond plus ultra this month.
take the like and leave
I have seen you comment on other videos.
@@Quipek gotta boost that algorithm
Yes
Dude, you get people who barely know dnd into a dnd playing mood- believe me, I’ve seen it. Totally important!
tuloks dio guide was what got me into dnd, now i play as a DM for newbies at a game shop near my house, its cool
On the second day of Build-mas that Tulok gave to We,
Two broken bones
And the real ghost in the machine
Omg I love the idea of you!
@@anthonynorman7545 Stay gold, Ponyboy.
Considering the amount of analysis Deku fits in his notebooks, how can you justify the LACK of Calligraphy????
Just take it in the background.
I’d argue that Truestrike fits this build perfectly. One of Deku’s key weaknesses during the early parts of the story is his tendency to overthink and over complicate fights. Given that he has to mentally switch his powers on, it makes sense for him to use the spell and then outgrow it when his stats are better.
The snark was for the fact that the spell..... Kinda fucking sucks, using both concentration and an action to give you advantage on your next attack, meaning you get to roll twice and take the highest...... Where as you could have just used both turns to attack, and, if you happen to only hit once, you accomplish the same.
(First round of combat) Me: “for my action I cast Shatter...”
My party: “please not again please don’t do this we’re begging you to stop just-“
Me: “ *c e n t e r e d o n m y a r m b o n e s* “
A C C U R A T E! 😆🤣😂🤣
(Second round of combat) "I cast Magic Missile... by breaking my fingers."
@@itwasidio1736 I wonder if you can turn your finger bones into a kind of scroll, that casts a stored spell when they break. Would need a very drunk dm to pull off.
@@DamnDaimen Just cast Glyph of Warding on your fingers, and pick Thunder. It's a bard spell, and it legally works. 20 foot range is enough, and it accurately deals damage to the caster.
Tulok 2 weeks ago: don't multiclass bard and monk
Tulok today (6 months ago?): ha ha Deku go bardonkadonk
It's unoptimal, but why not?
@@marmato9332 Multiclass for flavor, not to be OP, that’s my philosophy. Not saying being strong is bad, but MinMax is one of my less liked parts of D&D
but also there is enough levels of bard to make monk not interfere with the main class levels in this specific build but you are still correct
@@emailmcgmail4485 I just don't see a reason to be anything more than a Monk, though. You can reflavor your Monk abilities by saying you're activating your Quirk. Hell, I'd do it as that new Dragon Monk and just say it's punching so hard you're igniting the air in a cone. I do not see the point in multiclassing
@@the_rose_garden01 The bard levels are for when he gets into 1A, and Tenser's Transformation is literally an OFA state.
Don’t forget. Deku totally used a sword in the fantasy AU outro so sword Deku is borderline canon for the sake of not being terrible in this build
🎵On the second day of Christmas Tulok gave to us....
One squishy Nerd
And a VISION to behold!🎵
Keep it up man!
And No Anderson Cooper!
Oh, I'm looking forward to this song growing ^^!
I expect a new line every day lol. And Anderson Cooper for New Year’s Day!!
Yup
Day 2. Prediction. Warlock/Fighter hybrid. Warlock cause his patron is One for All and All Might. Eldritch finger blasts and mobility. Can’t watch now but back soon
Edit: I watched it. Boy was I wrong, but I still like this build idea a lot. Thanks to those encouraging comments below.
I like this
This is a fun combo idea!
very good very good
Yours actually made a lot more sense, tbh
Thought the same thing. Shoot style would've worked with just Eldrotch Blasts lol.
Tulok is really being the hero that makes us smile this month.
Day two of paying off (some of) Tulok's student loans.
Hell yeah
SOME of Tulok's student loans
Day ten of add more student loans to tulok.
Superheroes are probably the hardest thing to replicate in DnD, even in older editions! Their abilities tend to be either so broad that it is hard to cover in one class (Superman) or so specific that you need to reflavor things and get a lot of weird abilities that don't fit (Spider Man). Of all your super builds though, the My Hero ones are so far the smoothest beyond the ones that are open ended to begin with. (Raven and Dr Strange are straight forward because their powers are literally just "magic")
I thought he was gonna do Berserker Barbarian for big damage and the exhaustion but this also works really well !
Hey wait a minute that works out
Woah! Deku! This is the one Anime I know about! But you know what would really be Plus Ultra? A build for Anderson Cooper!
What a Kruppy suggestion
My bet is it comes on the 25th, but as a surprise. That or April 1st
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Don’t be such a Ms. Anthrope.
He might actually do the build if you weren't so Tra-La-Loud about it.
I tip my hat to you, Mason.
WAIT WHAT?! THE FULL MONTH??! I thought it was just gonna be a 12 days stint, holy crap Tulok we dont deserve you OR your hard work! ❤
On the second day of Christmas, Tulok gave to us
Two Deku-rations
One Visionary’s Christmas
No Anderson Cooper
OMG he did it, the madman made an anime main character
Except he made him SOLELY based off the first MAYBE even second season...still impressive but not nearly the full effect of Midoria season 4.
It's not the only main anime character, he made Tanjiro from Demon Slayer.
seeing 5 of the 6 stats start at 13
oh lord this is gonna be a muliclass nightmere, you got this friend! good luck with this month
Hold on I was just having a discussion on discord on what Deku would be in DnD
I loved the video used when saying “hopefully none of them have an inferiority complex.” Great video!
"None of them are Anderson Cooper"
He knows what we want
He's just an Eloquence Bard, it's not a big deal.
On the second day of Christmas Tulok gave to me:
2 sons of Sparda and a character whose name starts with a "V."
Ah yes, the most powerful class combination, the badonkadonk
I always thought of Charisma as Deku’s dump stat but bard actually works pretty well for get all the abilities. I made my own build after watching this using the new Astral Self Monk (reflavouring the astral form as full cowling) with a little bit of Wild Magic Barbarian to get some more durability, strength and other random quirks he gains later. The only thing I would change about this build is replacing College of Valor with College of Swords because you can boost your own damage (plus some small buffs) for some extra oomph and it surprisingly doesn’t specify that you need to use a weapon.
I actually really like the concept behind this build. You're an absolute MONSTER offensively....for about two or three turns.Then you have to get clever and think tactically. Fun stuff. I know nothing about MHA, but this looks like a fun build.
Shoulda gone for Mage Armor as one of your any class spells. It's his natural endurance, you can flavor it, and it gives him a whole staggering 15 AC!
Damn that sponsor transition was as smooth as butter
My favorite videos are the ones I never see the build coming or could've guessed
I would never think *bard*, but here we are
Not gonna lie, Tulok's making me interested in caligraphy
Friendly reminder that Jack of All Trades also applies to Counterspell/Dispel Magic rolls, as well as Initiative. Bards are great
Oh man, it's so weird to have another video already. We are so spoiled.
Uncle Iroh please
I'm totally about this!
He recently did this.
Just starting video:
Isn’t this the first time we’ve ever had a Point Buy build for the stats!?
No, that would be Rocket Raccoon.
There is one every few months, but they are rare. First time he's done 13s across the board though.
He’s made a few recently
The Lady Maria build recently used Point Buy.
"Gureta Daze!"
I know that's from JOJO but this build already seems amazing!
Josuke build pls
Before video: Maybe a more dex concentrated version of All-Might?
After video: Oh right, bard works.
Deku is known for his reckless attacks, while All Might has the more defined division between on/off mode. A version of this where you could only cast the other spells while under Tenser's Transformation would be an interesting way to make it fit for All Might.
*Izuku strums lute beyond ultra*
surprisingly good build. I'd personally tag out the capstone level for a 4th level of monk though, drop slow fall for basically any other spell because of slow fall, then take either crusher for the forced movement and the advantage on follow up attacks after a crit, or skill expert to reaaally push that 'anime boys are good at everything' angle just a bit further. Either way taking a +1 to con to push that up to 12 for a slightly better concentration save and 20 more hit points.
...that being said being said, i've DMed a game with a pallidin having foresight cast on them and the amount of horseshit a foresighted and hasted pally can get up to i can see why that would be a priority
Love the fact you used basic human! :D always loved the standard human with 13s in all stats!
Start of the video: Bard?? Really?? I don't see that...
A few minutes later: Okay, Tulok, you're a real genius.
The only things I would change: getting Haste as one of the Magical Secrets and picking the monk levels earlier cause it was a long way before he started punching.
Pretty good build overall, Tulok.
I think a good feat for this Deku build to pick up early on, maybe even at 4th level, would be Fighting Initiate from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. It lets you learn a fighting style if you have proficiency in a martial weapon, and the Unarmed Fighting style (also from Tasha's) will give Deku 1d6 or 1d8 + strength modifier damage with his fists.
I'm definitely gonna pick this up but I'm probably gonna find a way to pick up Levitate and Hold Person / Monster for manga reasons
@@MegaPokefan97 yeah
Biggest 180 going from no videos for a month to one per day. A surprise to be sure but a welcome one.
I think what you do is important, for the record. It brings people joy and the content is great, and I'm happy to have it.
So it's important to me
On the specific topic of True Strike, I STILL wish that it was either a bonus action, or gave a numerical bonus.
I still remember when true strike gave you a +20 to your next attack roll as a first level spell, and Quickened Spell was a feat that everyone could take, so you could technically quicken a true strike on a wizard or duskblade and get a +20 to an attack with say... Disintegrate.
I think a koichi haimawari (aka the crawler) would be a really cool and creative build, and I think you did a great job on Deku 👍
I’ve been watching this show for months, but True Strike initiates a primal rage knowing that it exists. I can’t wrap my head around how such a spell exists. Great video, but I’m forever scarred looking through the cantrip of 5e
CyberSlayer909 It used to give you +20 to your next attack in 3.5.... So it was actually useful.
Well now we know what Deku is in those Fantasy AU images.
Holy hell I just started watching and died laughing at the Anderson Cooper intro joke
This build really changed how I saw bards.
Always the stereotypical horn dog singer. But yeah you can just....talk to people to give them inspiration and who said the spells have to be through your flute.
Thanks Tulok
Oh god the transition to that ad read was great XD
So will the first build of the new year finally be Anderson Cooper?
Honestly my favorite part of Midoriya as a Bard is the fact that in the fantasy AU in some of the credits sequences, he's lightly armored and wielding a longsword-- Which Bards have proficiency with! Meaning that he could totally be a pure super-determined Bard trying his best to save his friends with smarts as well as powers when placed into a fantasy world.
Being stuck inside means your work is even more important! To me at least. Love your builds and jokes and am looking forward to more of them every day this month
Thank you for this one! Making Deku a non-variant human and building him as a bard works for his character beautifully!
I’ve come up with my own version of this. I won’t tell all the details cuz it’s too long but I take bard level 1/2 and then Fighter lvl 1 because you can take unarmed fighter and do 1d6+strength from unarmed strikes and it’s bumped to a d8 if you don’t have a weapon or shield.
I was waiting for this for a long time, now plz make tsuna from khr in dnd
How to make any MHA character:
Bard (customizable as frick plus everyone gets a cool moment) + Sorcerer or Monk (most of them fight either being long or short ranged)
Except Tail Boy, who is just Simic Hybrid (ask your DM to reflavor Nimble Climber as a tail, and switch it to Grappling Appendages at 5th level) that is a full Monk. Gi and everything. Also, Momo seems like a transmutation wizard to me, especially given how her quirk requires her to understand what she's making. That actually works twice as well, since she had to consult a book to make things, just like a wizard. Anivoice boy is just a druid, I think (probably circle of the Shepherd), and Sugar Rush is a classic Barbarian (Berserker, maybe?).
Simic Hybrid would be good for a lot of the mutation quirks, but personally I see Momo as a Creation Bard, if she had more power, she'd use it to beat the shit out the people who want "fanservice" from a minor.
One of the teachers had tusks so like, I'm pretty sure you can be a half-orc in My Hero Academia
Pros: extra strength to handle your new quirk better, relentless endurance is still the most anime ability ever, better crits, darkvision, and intimidation because if a teenager broke their finger and sent you flying 50ft you'd be scared, don't lie. Plus, half-orcs are hot
Cons: so many odd numbers holy shit
Verdict: Playing a half-orc Deku is as plus ultra as it gets I'd say, do it
I mean... the 2nd poll aniversary ilustration from the manga is Fantasy-inspired, and so is the ending from season 2 in the anime. Deku is depicted with no armor and a short-sword. Using weapons is 100% justificable by official sources. :) This build was really fun to see. Thanks!!!
On the second day of X-Mas, Tulok gave to me.
Two Idaho SMASHES
And a Mind Stone on a robotic frame
I get that you wanted to get Tensers Transformation as quickly as possible, but Lv10 and punchy boy still cant punch?
Just throw the first Monk level in a bit early earlier, no biggie. I’d probably go for it at 2nd Level, because why not?
He is being thematic there. Midoryia dont really punch things that often, he mostly break his limbs doing those explosive things that Tulok chose to represent via spells like Thunderwave and Shatter
@@luisgusta not really. Midoriya is a close combat specialist and once he develops full clowling, the bone breaking isnt much of a thing anymore unless things get suuuuper serious
Not gonna lie, for a minute, I thought he was gonna Scott Pilgrim us again. Nope, just took a lot longer than expected to get those monk levels in.
@@luisgusta good point actually. He really didnt do a lot of punching in the earlier episodes and tensers fits full cowling pretty well
Was expecting 17 levels of astral monk this this is Strange but I like it but this is very strange
My god, he's finally did it...
Love the nerdy sixe of the character being presented.
Personally would take the monk levels first so str could be dropped (in favor of +3 wisdom, Deku is very observant) and for martial arts and 18 unarmored ac. Sure the extra attack comes super late this way but it's a little offset through monks bonus action unarmored strike.
So glad you got a sponsor! I hope you make use of them this month as you're absolutely pumping out content, you deserve it. Keep at it Tulok!
I'm gonna watch all the videos this month even if I've never seen the media where the character is from, simply so you get those sweet clicks and ad bonus
For all his skills of observation, there's one thing that deku took way too long to notice... About Ururaka
Wait holy cow, a little bit of bard fits so well into his toolset! You’re a genius.
On the second day of Christmas Tulok sent to me
Two One for Alls, and
A Vision of future builds
I like the build! Though I had rather expected at least a few levels in Warlock, since All Might is basically his patron. Maybe even a Paladin
If you want to do a more armor type, you could consider the costume as armored since he started getting the braces and stuff. Instead of Monk perhaps use the Fighter with the Unarmed Fighting Style, get a d6 for damage and you'd get Action Surge which wouldn't be as versatile as the Monk's Ki Points but could still be fun and the Bardic abilities still cover a lot of issues.
Love the work Tulok, looking forward to what else is coming from you
Kishibe Rohan build would just be a 20 Bard, he’s a writer
i’ve tried to build him before, he would probably get a lot of enchantment/abjuration spells. he could even do the classic “i cannot hurt kishibe rohan” with the sanctuary spell
The new scribe wizard would actually be a pretty good fit for him, I would think.
@@pmf98 yeah actually, that’s a pretty good idea as well. the manifest mind ability could just be [HEAVENSU DOAR]
My boi, Deku. Would love a Kirishima build someday -- wait, thirty-one videos this month. Wow. Feels dirty asking for more right now.
Love the video, love the build; Tulok, you're awesome.
When you said you were taking December off I nearly cried. When I saw a video yesterday I was happy. When I saw one today I was confused. one every day in December?! I'm crying again, but for the opposite reason.
Originally, I thought Deku was going to be an Evocation Wizard with monk levels. The 14 level ability fits well with you literally taking damage to do max damage on spells. I realized that Deku doesn’t use spells that aren’t buffs so it wouldn’t work unfortunately. Keep it up Tulok, I love all the builds you have been doing
About the only change I’d really make on this build is swapping knock for enhance ability. Especially for the temp hp as it’s very common for him to be experiencing an adrenaline rush and just not notice the pain.
Good work all around. Didn’t imagine the build could be done with a regular human.
What you do is important this year. Your videos help us stay entertained while staying home. Thank you
I don't even watch MHA, but your builds make me want to!
Y'know, bard with Tenser's Transformation is actually perfect, now that I think about it. When he's not using One for All, Deku is just a smart and analytical guy who encourages his friends
I have always been a defender of True Strike, especially for ranged or stealth builds. Especially when that that one shot REALLY matters. Especially with the fact that it is a cantrip, meaning no spell slots are used to do it. Warlock, True Strike, Spell Sniper, Eldritch Spear, Agonizing Blast, Eldritch Blast. On a max level warlock, you’ve got yourself an average 40 damage output, maximum 60, with a range of 600 feet and advantage to hit that ignores partial cover. Add the sorcerer’s Distant Spell Metamagic and we turn that insane range up to 11. Well, 12 actually. Hundred. It makes the range 1200 feet.
When is one shot gonna realistically be that important in 5e?
Like most BBEGs have too many hit points to be one shot unless your DM allows stealth kills to be instant kills, in which case that just massively buffed the stealth skill to be an “I win” button
I don’t particularly like Deku as a character; however, I’m giving this video a like and comment because I know that it’s worth more this month!
i appreciate your respect even if this isnt what you wanted [unlike most of the internet...]
GET THAT Ad Dosh my dude!
I thought you were taking this month off? Pleasantly surprised to see this, really enjoyed it, but remember to let yourself take breaks
He addressed this in the 'hey' video a couple days ago, but he's been secretly preparing these for the past six months and only has to put a few finishing touches in place to account for changes made. If you haven't seen it, by the way, watch it. It's worthwhile for the song parody alone.
@@caeligocielo5634 Thanks for the update and will do
I made a kenku affectionately known as Thump who, at high levels, on one turn could dish out 33D8 + 66 damage with his fists to one target (yes he was inspired by the first Nomu)
Honestly True Strike has its niche if for whatever reason you can't nail your target down this turn or are setting up a combo where the advantage outweighs the two chances to hit.
Never seen the show, but I'm here for day 2.
Got a dark souls build? I went with a Battle Master. Felt like it fit right.
You honestly deserve more subs. You constantly put out great content and always leave me smiling by the end.
Thank you for this awesome month long blitz! I love the vids, the builds get turned into villains/recurring npcs in my games a lot of the time. So thank you! Also, the True Strike bit is absolutely hilarious.
Deku is basically the answer to the question "What if Batman had Superpowers? And at least 1 parent..."
A Lelouch Vi Britannia build would be really cool
Oh my, oh my Goodness! I loved this build so much. Thanks for going beyond plus ultra this month.
You should do one for Odin or Galactus
