Dude i just made a character based around the blind fighting style. 7lvl Eldritch knight fighter, and 13lvls Phantom Rouge. Race half elf, name Fog, background deserted soldier. He was once protected by a mysterious fog that is actually the ghosts of his fallen comrades an it has kinda followed him ever since. He drops fog cloud and Darkness then sneak attacks like crazy. He also has devil sight to.
Kinda off topic but do you guys remember the D&D toyline? Probably before your time but they had cool characters like Warduke and a paladin, a goblin rogue and others. Could you do an article about some of them. Thanks gentlemen.
It would be fun to have a blind beggar in town. If the player characters bully the beggar they make a powerful enemy. If they are kind to the beggar they make a powerful friend.
It would be neat if he would show up randomly in combat around the town and outskirts (once per combat). Sort of like the mysterious stranger in Fallout, depending on how you treated him it could be beneficial/detrimental or, if ignored, he doesn’t show up at all. Something like a stab and disappear or causing an attack that would miss to hit.
Possibly a Kensei monk using a katana, flavored longsword. Zato-ichi the Blind Sword Saint. Many Japanese movies. Love the idea of fighter 2 levels for blind fighting and action surge.
Then you could blind catch/return(?) projectiles lol Edit: or flavour it as your monk doing one of those katana strikes where the just cut down the arrow.
I had made a blind character but I never got to play as him. He is blind because he is a big ol perv and accidentally peaked at a bathing nymph and instantly went blind. But if you ask him if it was worth it. "Of course it was worth it! Don't ask me stupid questions!"
Warlock/wizard multiclass. Pact of the tomb. Sold your sight to the "deity" of your village, which happened to be a high-ranking demon, in return for magic knowledge. Take find familiar, and use your helper, and your gifted knowledge, to study magic elsewhere. Your pact tomb can be a wizard spellbook, or you can just have a bunch of spellbooks lying around. At level 5, warlock1/wizard4, pick up fighting style, blind fighting from feats, and have access to some limited eyesight just in case your familiar gets roasted in combat.
take 1 level into fighter and take the blindsight figtying style, fits well for characters that can cast darkness, like arcane knights, warlocks, oathbreaker paladins, eldricht blood hunter, monk way of the shadows, etc.
My blind swordsman: Eldritch Knight 7/Rogue 2/Bladesinger 11 I focused in on the magic a bit more, but flavored it all as sword techniques and a mystical connection to nature.
Can you tell me more about this build? It seems your PC is very interesting, and I love the idea of being a Bladesinger, which is my favorite class. If you still remember it, can you tell me how does it works and how should it be build?
No matter how many times I watch over this video, it's still weird seeing you guys in the same space without masks on. I think it's a weird I can live with though ^^
Could've went Arcane Trickster and Dice for your game from background. Then you go around being blind man who is really good at dice and is able to get your invisible hand to spin in the air randomly while holding it/nudging dice when opponents roll.
An interesting build i love the idea of including rougue as an element the idea of a blind master of locks as a standalone concept is nice. It also brings to mind a blind artificer, could work with any but particulay the alchemist seems most fun for the theme as you get to watch the blind person handle there equipment to create things much better than almost anyone else...maybe go all fmacy bartender moves as well for show.
Speaking of echo knight, I like the idea of an echo knight fighter/wizard combo, having just enough levels of wizard to cast simulacrum, and since your simulacrum has the same abilities as you, you and your simulacrum can both create an echo, and then their are four of you. You have officially unlocked shadow clone jutsu.
I am a very simple girl. I see Shiba Tsukimi in the thumbnail I click. I love how you all break the concept and there are some good ideas. Thank you for the ideas.
This is a fun build. It reminds me of a character concept that I built out, a deaf Kenku soulknife. It requires buy-in from your DM to see if your character would be able to "speak" telepathically while being deaf, but with that it is really cool@
I play a homebrewed blind from birth tiefling paladin who can see auras (a gift from his god)but nothing else. It makes for some challenges for sure but even though he's not built as optimally as your build I love him and it makes for some amazing moments in our games. Once even rolling disadvantage he rolled a 19 and 20 in an archery contest and won beating out our fighter and gunslinger.
Having recently watched Blind Fury, with Rutger Hauer, the best way to make an effective blind adventurer would be to give them Blindsight, and thanks to the Blind Fighting style, one can get a 10 foot version of it. All one needs is to be proficient in a Martial weapon, take the Fighting Initiate Feat and take it. After that, snag Dueling or something for melee weapons, as realistically, blind people would be at a disadvantage with ranged attacks - I mean, the Cyclops has Poor Depth Perception - disadvantage on an attack roll against a target 30+ feet away.
I was thinking about a Monk of the Shadows who can cast Darkness with blindsight 10ft with either a multiclass with fighter or rouge and Feats Alert and Magic initiate to find a familiar wich is a Bat to help him on his perception on hearing.
Question for the Nerdarchs, if one was not wanting to use wizard as it mentioned in the build or any type of caster what would be a good class substitute
I went human monk cross druid. Lost site due to injury and took the magic init feat to grab find familiar. And picked up blind fighting. Use the druid craft tremor for flavor.
"Way of Shadow" Monk + Fighting Initiate: Blind Fighting. Short of boss-level characters with blindsight or truesight and non-DEX AoE effects, you don't have much to worry about in a typical fight. You're basically unassailable as long as Darkness is up. You could hold a narrow corridor all by yourself against a large group of opponents without much trouble while your party focuses their efforts elsewhere.
I really want to play a blind light cleric to mimic a fire keeper from Dark Souls. I’d take magic initiate to grab fire bolt for regular fire damage and find familiar to help see in a different way.
Troglodyte "Enhanced sense of smell? I'm bout to ruin this man's whole career." I would think that such a character would be influenced by a supernatural force or entity, save the wizard familiar scenario. Maybe he or she could have cleric/warlock like abilities as well.
Best builds I've seen is a variant human Eldritch knight with perception as high as you can get it. Just because you can't see doesn't mean your other senses aren't usefull
a Yanti Pureblood bladesinger wizard with blindsight fighting style at 4th level through fighter initiate would be epic. take stinking cloud at 5th level then destroy everything in melee combat. or simply a ranger with blindsight fighting style at 2nd level can work as well.
Almost None is Talking about the Spheres of Power/Might for 5e from Dropdead Studios. Would you please take a look ^^ i would love to see your opinion on that System enhancement :D
Yeah I don’t know how they pulled that one. Only way I know how to get an 18 at level 1 with point buy is to have a +2 to the stat and take a feat that boosts the same stat
I have a question does blindsight work through helmets? an Idea I came up with was a character in a completely or almost sealed set of armor (air jenasi to prevent suffocation) although I don't think this works realistically (completely sealed) or mechanically
@@Nerdarchy ah see I don't think it does I was just curious because something like that is considered worn an dnd 5e really discriminates between worn and non worn objets despite that not making much sense but nice to get your guys ruling
Played a blind character... Well, yeah, and she is an all-time favorite, but she was built in Exalted 2e, so sort of apples to thermal detonators. That said, I may just try to make one somewhat similar for D&D, but I'll have to work it out for bard, and less soldier-y. Lia was a s#!+-stirrer of the highest order...
Hey sweet you used the art of Shiba Tsukimi, from when L5r was good! So sad that FFG ruined the game completely! She was the last Champion of the Phoenix clan, which was my clan. You guys got yourselves a like and subscribe!
Nice, but I think I would rather go with Monk instead of Rogue for the rest of the levels. Way of the Shadow Monk would allow casting Darkness, Pass Without Trace, and Silence. All very good spells for this build I think and you can do a LOT with Ki points. Of course, the Rogue would give you sneak attack, but you kind of have to screw over the rest of the party to gain advantage from Darkness or Fog Cloud, but with stunning strike it turns into an advantage for the whole party.
I thi k replacing wizard with warlock would be better, picking up the devil sight, and Gaze of Two Minds invocations and also pact of the chain (or tome and take find familiar)
@@Nerdarchy RAW, Devil Sight would straight up give a blind character the ability to see. "You can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 120 feet." It says nothing about being able to see for it and in fact straight up says that you can see with it. Edit: No need for Crawford here, its self explanatory.
@@Mr1991bbk I would have to disagree. It says you can see normally in darkness. Well, normally you can't see cause your blind. So, now you can see in darkness as well as you can in the light.. which is not at all. If you have Devils sight and get blindfolded can you still see 120ft? No. Devils sight only improves what is there. You have no eyesight so nothing to improve. If Devils sight allowed for eyesight on a blind person so would darkvision or truesight. It's additive, not a replacement
This is a good build. I think I would do some Monk levels. Lee Sin the Blind Monk. The walking stick is their monk weapon. Maybe do a Fighter/Monk/Warlock. See if the DM would allow Devil's Sight to function since it is a magical sense anyway. You would be blind in the daylight but can see perfectly in darkness.
I Kinda had a thought about a Necromancer where souls would talk to the wizard and tell this person where the enemies are and guides them in adventuring
hmm if I had to make a blind toon... Blind Drow anything (I'd pick Monk/Artificer or Bard) The idea of a blind Drow is humorous to me citing the training methods of Drizzt and other warriors. Blind combat training from the monk mixed with magically enhanced items of the articifer sounds fun. A blind Bard with illusionary magic, crying woes of not seeing their love or a sunset feels poetic.
If blind from dirty they could be singing of the woes of never seeing anything their party tells them is truly beautiful. The way a cloud of flys circle around horse manure etc. They don't know about sunsets till someone tells them.
Why would you ever use War Magic when you have Shield? I mean maybe I can see it because of the +4 to a save, but I feel like trading this in for a different wizard archetype could be a lot more effective. For instance, why not a divination wizard instead? Still have shield to get a +5 to our AC, and we gain the ability to gurantee certain rolls which helps with our blindness and against others who may be able to percieve us better than we can them?
if you were to give the char blind/tremor sense 30 feet right at lv one would it be to game breaking? i really dont know about game balance anymore ^_^
hey while watching this i thought of a crazy idea any you dudes know if it is possible for official play like AL my idea is to make a crawling claw familiar out of the hand of a mind flayer thrall with medium flensing claws 1d10 slahing dmg then fuse the wrist of the claw to a rapier like a stinger and have a crawling claw sword just like in Jujutsu Kaisen then I want to add Eldritch Claw Tattoo, barrier tattoo large, and Ghost Step Tattoo to the claw so it can have 18 ac, reach, magic attack, and resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks. i want a blind murder claw
that would not be allowed in AL. at this point you are not allowed fimiliars that are not in the list from the spell unless you are a Chainlok then you get the Warlock four added, you have a Special Cert from the Wizards AL Admin, or DMed during the active season where they allowed special Fimiliars. (Ex. Season 8 had a gazer, 9 had tressem, 2 Imps that lose shape change one gets a dementional pocket that holds up to 10 lbs and the other has a single use per day 1d6 bardic inspiration, a lawful Evil Pseudodrsgon that also knows infernal, or an abyssal chicken.
I have always thought about playing a character like Toph from Avatar the Last Airbender. Blind daughter of an INCREDIBLY wealthy family, everyone thinks she's a helpless little girl but actually she is the greatest earthbender of all times. She can perceive the world around her through the vibrations in the ground.
This works in Elder Scrolls. Perhaps I am a Moth Priest. Change the background to Scholar or Sage. Now maybe I read an Elder Scroll and went blind. Aside from that I would keep everything the same.
Please don't think unrespectful but in reality blind people who have been blind for years do know how to get around the fact that they are blind so d&d should have taken that into consideration before going oh your character is blind so nothing but natural 1s for you. And they get around being blind with out magic so magic should not be the end all be all.
@@corywilkinson5172 nope we start with a vanilla human fighter. Alert feat + blind fighting fighting style makes you a viable character at level 1. Probably my favorite part of the build. Also no need to apologize. Nerdarchist Dave
I would imagine playing a blind character would be as cool as building a paraplegic character with a battle wheelchair. Very, but people will bitch about it.
Get to the point, I get you making it over 10 minutes because you don't care and just want the money. But for the love of god if you don't have anything to say stop repeating yourself trying to hit the 20 min mark.

Lucky is a feat to take because you roll 3 d20 for a blind attack and take the best because luck does that even to rolls with a disadvantage.

No one died!
A blind player that uses a familiar to see would benefit more by having them fly above the party so they could see the battlefield from above
hey while watching this i thought of a crazy idea any you dudes know if it is possible for official play like AL my idea is to make a crawling claw familiar out of the hand of a mind flayer thrall with medium flensing claws 1d10 slahing dmg then fuse the wrist of the claw to a rapier like a stinger and have a crawling claw sword just like in Jujutsu Kaisen then I want to add Eldritch Claw Tattoo, barrier tattoo large, and Ghost Step Tattoo to the claw so it can have 18 ac, reach, magic attack, and resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks. i want a blind murder claw
that would not be allowed in AL. at this point you are not allowed fimiliars that are not in the list from the spell unless you are a Chainlok then you get the Warlock four added, you have a Special Cert from the Wizards AL Admin, or DMed during the active season where they allowed special Fimiliars. (Ex. Season 8 had a gazer, 9 had tressem, 2 Imps that lose shape change one gets a dementional pocket that holds up to 10 lbs and the other has a single use per day 1d6 bardic inspiration, a lawful Evil Pseudodrsgon that also knows infernal, or an abyssal chicken.
I have always thought about playing a character like Toph from Avatar the Last Airbender. Blind daughter of an INCREDIBLY wealthy family, everyone thinks she's a helpless little girl but actually she is the greatest earthbender of all times. She can perceive the world around her through the vibrations in the ground.
This works in Elder Scrolls. Perhaps I am a Moth Priest. Change the background to Scholar or Sage. Now maybe I read an Elder Scroll and went blind. Aside from that I would keep everything the same.
Octopus hat!!
A blind person can play dice. They feel the pips.
Please don't think unrespectful but in reality blind people who have been blind for years do know how to get around the fact that they are blind so d&d should have taken that into consideration before going oh your character is blind so nothing but natural 1s for you. And they get around being blind with out magic so magic should not be the end all be all.
Like the build. Though even with blind fighting doesn't actually mean that you are actually blind so you could technically still see as normal RaW
Until the cleric decides to cast restoration on them.
Don't get me wrong I like this character I think they are cool 😎 just don't think magic is a end all be all to all problems.
That's why built it without magic 1st.

Sorry I was making food while watching the video and someone said wizard so I thought you were making magic the end all be all.
@@corywilkinson5172 nope we start with a vanilla human fighter. Alert feat + blind fighting fighting style makes you a viable character at level 1. Probably my favorite part of the build. Also no need to apologize.

I would imagine playing a blind character would be as cool as building a paraplegic character with a battle wheelchair. Very, but people will bitch about it.
I'll admit, was hoping for a samurai sub there for a Zatōichi character :)
Wizard is off the table automatically
You can't read
Transition slide is to frequent.
Get to the point, I get you making it over 10 minutes because you don't care and just want the money. But for the love of god if you don't have anything to say stop repeating yourself trying to hit the 20 min mark.
Just download the character sheet and move on. I like the depth.
