This isn't just a tabaxi Zorro build, but you have to watch it if you want to know what the differences are.

Has anyone realized that they didn’t give Puss the turn beautiful potion because it would just be Antonio Banderas?
In 3 different languages nontheless
Nah, he's already beautiful as it is
So the potion would turn miniature furry Antonio Banderas into regular Antonio Banderas, or tony the tiger Antonio Banderas?
@@OscarGomez-hg8cb Yes.
@@OscarGomez-hg8cb depends on if the PC is a furry
Tulok: "talks about True strike"
Me: "hey now"
"You're an All-Star."
Get your game on
Go play
I love the conviction on the True Strike threat.
It starts coming and it don’t start coming
All that glitters is gooold
True strike is viable if you are a rogue who is often lacking allies. An assassin who works alone for example.
Tulok's True Strike
Enchantment cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, M (a character build that takes True Strike, uploaded to RUclips)
Duration: Instantaneous
You add True Strike to any character build that has the capacity to take the spell. Anyone who can hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, their anger pleases the algorithm. On a success, they instead do whichever trivial and harmless request you specify when you cast the spell.
I love that so much!
I keep hearing the 'your anger pleases the algorithm' phrase so often, I kind call it the Angerithm in my head now, heh.
Hey now...
“Cats are natural sprinters, they’re very dangerous over short distances.” I see what you did there: breathing is the key, keep breathing.
Insert "Heavy breathing" cat meme
AND MY AXE!
*Tulok:* _Puts True Strike on another build to teach viewers to stop being gross._
*Me:* "Yep, what a concept."
I mean, I find it much more rewarding and satisfying to be treated like an adult and not a bratty child who needs to be scolded. Reward good behavoir and ignore the bad, that's how everyone else does it.
I could use a little fuel myself
@@CarrowMind Not being gross should not be rewarded; it should be expected from adults who wish to be treated as such.
@@CarrowMind I'm not familiar with Childhood Psychology; is rewarding good behavior and ignoring bad behavior recommended for raising thoughtful, well-behaved children?
@@aaronsirkman8375 No you get narcissistic adult children, that think that they are the centre of the universe
I almost closed the video when you added true strike, but there was so much to do, so much to see, so whats wrong with taking the cantrip?
True Strike gets shat on, however if Feats are allowed or one is playing as an Arcane Trickster, then I honestly would suggest taking either the Magic Initiate with True Strike being 1 of the 2 Cantrips picked up or pick it up as an AT. Because it can be utilized before Combat, especially if you have a feeling that Combat will happen. Trigger it before Combat which gives the Rogue advantage on the first attack that they make before the Spell expires. Granted if one goes Assassin then TS could get redundant but it would be useful against those that end up having a better Initiative then the Assassin.
Altyrell its still a *very* situational cantrip. It can be used but most of the time you’re better taking other cantrips that have broader utility, specially because the concentration can last at max six seconds
What's wrong with taking the catnip?
You'll never know if you don't go!
@@K_i_t_t_y84 GO!
SO MUCH TO DO, SO MUCH TO SEE, SO WHAT'S WRONG WITH TAKING THE BACK STREETS!
Wait...
People who don't get the True Strike joke: "I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed"
Are you suggesting that... they were lookin' kinda dumb?

"Somebody once told me Tulok is gonna troll me, he put True Strike in this freakin build."

All Star has been stuck in my head for literally 6 years, no joke.
It's been 6 years, and it haunts me every single day. Some days it is all-encompassing and I can't stop humming it, others it merely reminds me of its presence once a day. But it's always there. Always.
Same
*Somebody*
If you haven't, I sincerely suggest you check out Niel Cicierega's album "Mouth Sounds" on RUclips; he's an amazing manipulator of music, making new songs out of the pieces of others, in a truly mind-bending, hilarious, and yet totally actually musical way. That album in particular is dedicated to Smash Mouth, and All-Star in particular, so it might help transform, if not completely remove, your affliction.
Just an FYI a persistent song in your head for years can be a sign of a brain tumor
@@Tyyaash wait really? I mean, I kinda assumed it was just the thousands of All Star remixes I listen ed to and still go back to.
I feel like I was "Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running"
“I said, ‘Yep, what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change’”
Tulok when the comments complain about true strike:
"Yep, what a concept. I could use a little fuel myself"
Lol I was too slow Gentleman penguin said it first
Episode #165 of the Fire Emblem stats: Puss in Boots.
He's pretty fun to decide strengths and weaknesses for. For strengths, he's great at swords and riding. For weaknesses, he's bad at heavy armor and axes since he's, well, a small cat.
His dexterity and charm are his best attributes and his worst stats are in magic and resistance, which he does not need.
And he's probably got low Strength too, this is a cat after all
"Don't delay, act now, supplies are running out."
People who appreciate the True Strike joke:
"I'm a connoisseur of the finer things in life
I'll take any flick with Al Paccino
I'm a man of respect and I prefer to be addressed as Padrino!"
All I have to say is... Fush Yu Mang
Side thing: Have you ever considered making ENEMY builds/stat sheets for D&D out of creatures or enemies from pop culture?
"If you have one weakness it's people picking you up and yeeting you into next week"
"You're not living up to the legend, Gato"
Puss in boots has great style, but you know who else has great style? Anderson Cooper. Now THAT would be a great build. Thoughts?
When Anderson Cooper puts on boots and a fur suit I'll build him
Can someone explain to me the Anderson Cooper joke?
@@aceofflames4572 I don't get it, but he certainly is a snappy dresser.
@@aceofflames4572 its this guys new years resolution to get an Anderson Cooper build, he said it a while back
The persistence is admirable for sure.
I look forward to seeing if you give this build any fun twists besides the obvious Tabaxi Swashbuckler
EDIT: Okay, that's an extremely creative way of making Puss different from Zorro and I am here for that.
The “and we all could use a little change” line is kinda clever, definitely the best one
and also nice build or whatever, good to see Swords bard come back since it was only used for Deadpool so far
Okay hear me out..
Ed is a barbarian
Edd is an artificer or wizard
Eddy is a rougue
But what is Rolf, son of a shepherd? The world needs to know, please do a Rolf video, and thank you for all the character inspiration
Road Man, didn’t see the Train Man,
Until it was too late to slow the van.
Meanwhile the band is waiting for the Road Man,
Crushed by his beloved sound system.
The ice we skate, is getting pretty thin, the water’s getting warm so we might as well swim.
I love the idea of a serious fighter like character getting defeated in a one on one fight with a freaking cat. Just the idea of a cat going up against a freaking beholder is hilarious.
Turlock: Puts true strike on the build and explains why because “we all need a little change”
Oh hey, my dad's favourite Shrek character.
I want to play a swashbuckler archetype in D&D sometime. I've been stuck playing a heavy weapon fighter for over three years, after all.
Teasing us with the cat when we all want the ogre
I rolled a 17 on my Int Save, so...
"I said 'yup, what a concept. I could use a little fuel myself and we can all use a little chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange'."
6:01 Hey now, you're an All-Star, for making that com-ment!
Broke: *playing Puss in Boots in D&D as a Tabaxi for appearance and taking levels in College of Swords Bard and Swashbuckler Rogue for appropriate skills*
Woke: *playing Puss in Boots in D&D as an Awakened Cat for the appropriate size and also taking levels in Way of the Kensei Monk for Unarmored Defense*
Cool, but has to be homebrew
@@marmato9332 actually no
Instead of race & base stats, you just use the cat statblock
It's not gonna be effective, but it will be 100% legit
"All that glitters is gold, only shooting *stars* break the mowold." like this build.
Would you be interested in building different DnD channel’s personas, like Jocrap, or Ke... the guy who makes goblins more attractive then they have any right to be.
Goblins already are more attractive than they have any right to be
We have witnessed jocrap as 20th level in every class and subclass
If it happens, he should make JoBard instead
@@numberbndl3763 no! Don't do it, would be a aberration unstoppable!
...do it!
" the guy who makes goblins more attractive then they have any right to be"
You misspelled Brachyzoid
Joseph Perez, no I just couldn’t figure out Kanekuo
Tulok: Adds True Strike to a PiB build
Me: Might as well be walking on the sun
(I picked the not-Shrek song to be EDGY)
If you honsstly are that worried about True Strike
"You might as well be walking on the sun!"
I was just reading The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents last night! Lol wtf Tulok you're psychic! 😸
Fav Smashmouth Lyric: "She was lookin' kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead." I don't know why, but it makes me giggle every time I hear it.
I thought you'd pick halfling flavored as a cat so you could be small and use thief to get climbing.
Thanks to the bard level me and my hooved friend can put on a musical number for our ogre friend and his lovely ogre wife!
"You don't need nine lives if you just don't die"
*ominous whistling can be heard in the wind*
SOMEBODY once told me the world was gonna roll me...
And I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed...
My favourite smash mouth lyric is "the". They just use it so well.
"The ice we skate is getting pretty thin the waters warm so you might as well swim,
my world's on fire how about yours?-"

Tulok: *True Strike on a build*
Me: And that cantrip keeps coming and it don't stop coming, fed to the rage as I hit the like button.
KIRITO FROM SWORD ART ONLINE. I wanna see the strongest duel wielding class you can make, given duel wielding falls off at higher levels. Stack damage to make spending your bonus action to attack and taking the necessary feat and fighting style worth it
Man I can only imagine how much fun your players have. I crack up watching all your videos and share them to my group of dnd friends for our own inspiration.
I'd love to see a Rumplestiltskin build from the show Once Upon a Time. He's my favourite character from the show.
“ *Something* *something* true strike,
*something* *something* salt,
*something* *something* your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb”
Tulok: puts true strike
Comets: rages
me: not the sharpsst tool in the shed.
The Far Far Away Idol mention took me back, man... I watched that ALL the time as a kid.
Tulok making jokes during his build videos. That’s the way I like it and I never get bored.
For that excellent True Strike
"love was out to get me/that's the way it seemed/disappointment haunted all my dreams"
Still waiting on either Percy Jackson or Squall builds
Same but then that means we'd have to be subjected to clips from the movies. Plus I'm not sure how deep his research goes or his experience with the PJ franchise so its possible we just get things pulled from the movies instead of the 10+ books.
Honestly thinking about it. The Percy Jackson series doesn't really translate well into D&D. Largely owning to how "magic" is handled in the series. Since D&D's stand-in demi-god race is aasimar which doesn't even begin to cover the abilities they gain from their godly parent. Sure some abilities can be replaced with spell effects like Piper's charmspeak being charm person or suggestion. Ironically the character that becomes the hardest to translate into D&D is Percy just because of his ability to breathe under water which would require either a race like sea-elf, water genasi, or triton for a swim speed and water breathing at level 1. Or choice a 5 level dip in a magic class for the water breathing spell. Or simply the most realistic option of a single level dip into a sea sorcerer for both a swim speed and water breathing with probably 19 levels of Elderitch knight.
Major thumbs up for the "Super Troopers" reference. And a really cool build, too.
i love these builds, I hope they dont stop coming and they dont stop coming.
"What kind of monster would drop a bunch of cats"
We don't dare mention the notorious Cat Dropper and what he has done
Adding True Strike to a build. You sir, are truly walking on the sun.
Me at 5:02 I hope Tulok takes a level of bard for the Truestrike memes, and maybe a second for Jack of all Trades. Me at 13:54 That’s a really awesome build!
In order to please the algorithm, here is my favorite smash mouth lyric: So much to do, so much to see so what's wrong with taking the backstreets?
Speaking of cat like agility, those transitions and segues! My God man! A grammatical assassin indeed.
My lord, the Far Far Away Idol was fantastic. Favorite feature ever.
An accurate description of True strike: Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb.
Tulok adds True Strike to a build.
"We could all use a little change."
All that glitters is gold, only shooting stars break the mold.
I'm on a marathon watching all your tabaxi builds.
6:09 "it ain't no joke I'd like to buy the world a toke & teach the world to sing in perfect harmony"
I was just thinking about this yesterday. I'm excited to see your version
I passed my INT save, albeit just barely, so HEY NOW! You're an all star, Tulok.
"My world's on fire, how 'bout yours? That's the way I like it, and I never get bored."
-Smash Mouth the Great Prophet
I wish I could go back in time and let Tulok know there would be a way better time slot for this build a couple years later
Hey now, you're an All-star!
“Who is your favorite fearless he-e-ro? Who is your favorite fearless he-e-ro?”
If you don’t want to play with the true strike cantrip because steady aim is the same thing but better. Prestidigitation for RP.
“Hey, you want to see something cool?”
Cast prestidigitation, then say at the table.
“I toss a stone to create an Audible distraction”, “background music starts to play a song for our heroes before we roll initiative”, “I pull a match almost out of nowhere and light it/ the lights dramatically flicker off”, “I cat lick it clean”, or “I wick my sword at lightning speeds to make three slashes shaped like a capital P”.
Ok the lines that stood out to me right now is the "if you don't kill something you need to endear yourself to it so it doesn't kill you with it's big green butt" and "you studied at the school of hard knocks and that's kind of a party school".
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
Well, the builds keep coming and and they don't stop coming.
*Sees True Strike*
Me: Not a trace, of doubt in my mind
Tulok: True Strike
Me: Fed to these rules and I hit the ground running
Coming back to this one after The Last Wish fuckin floored me with how unexpectedly incredible it is.
Confirmed, still a fun build. 👍
these videos get more and more meta. I love it
You know what would be a funny spell? You make a creature cast true strike, so you basically get a free hit by breaking their concentration.
this is adorable!!
Plus I LOVE playing tabaxi just wording what to play next....(already played rouge and loved my shadow)
You're brain gets smart, but you're head gets dumb.
Tulok uses True Strike in another build...
"So push rewind just in time, thank anybody, you're gonna do it again."
Include True Strike in your character build, because it makes no sense not to live for fun.
Seriously, good job with this. I stopped by specifically to see how you would make it different from the Zorro build. This definitely feels and plays differently.
Hey, you hit 100k subs! Congratulations to you, Mr Barbrarian (side note, Barbrarian is a subclass someone needs to make).
There's but one question this video does not answer:
Who is your favorite fearless hero?
"Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running"
Don't judge me! I liked it from Mystery Men before Shrek ok? I don't have bad taste-I have retro bad taste!
It was just supposed to be a placeholder in Shrek but they never found a better song to put in instead. It's actually FOR Mystery Men. Bunch of clips from it in the music video and everything.
Actually, come to think of it: Blue Raja build when?
@@robobeetlepanzer Do forks count as improvised weapons?
@@aaronsirkman8375 probably? You might be able to get away with just reskinning darts... not knives though. He's not Stab-man
@@robobeetlepanzer I mean, forks are like four tiny knives on the end of a miniature polearm.
Congrats on 100k man!! 💛
I could see multiple ways to build this Character or similar Characters:
-
Bard College of Swords 14 - Rogue 6
Rogue 14 - Bard College of Whispers 6
-
With Rogue, Swashbuckler as well as Assassin would work. Though, if one decides the R14/BCoW6 then I'd suggest Assassin for the Rogue so that you're still doing 10d6 like if you went straight Level 20 Rogue, but it would be 7d6 Sneak Attack & 3d6 Psychic Damage. I would also suggest picking up the Alert Feat (+5 Initiative) to have a high Initiative (presuming your Dex Score is 20):
-
At Level 20 = Initiative = + 5 (Dex) + 5 (Alert) + 3 (Jack of all Trades). Which even if you roll a 1 on the d20, you're still doing pretty good.
On reddit there's actually a homebrew race called Felis that you could have used, but I know you were trying to keep it Canon. Cool video, loving your channel have inspired my already love for multiclass flavoring to a higher level.
First? Does that mean we get One Piece builds?
Pure swashbuckler tabaxi. Calling it now
4:20 - Lol I feel personally attacked
@@harkthesound32 He got us both xd. Also I'm with you on bringing down a One Piece build!
Wait how is your reply from 30 mins ago?
"I said Yep, what a concept, I could use a little fuel myself, and we could ALL use a little chaaannge..."
Make Goro Majima from the Yakuza series, would love to see how you would do the Majima Everywhere System
All that glitters is gold... only shooting stars, break the mo-old.
Very glad that our favourite fearless hero always had Bard levels. Suck it, fools from the past!
True Strike is actually a really good spell for Arcane Tricksters, or a Rogue/Caster multiclass. If your enemy is aware of you at the start of battle you can cast True Strike and get an automatic sneak attack on your next turn. At high enough levels of rogue this can actually become a better option than attacking twice, assuming you wouldn't have had advantage on one of those two attacks anyway.
One of the best videos so far.
I'd reskin a mark of hospitality halfling to be a cat person: you'd be small, dexy, fearless, nimble, lucky, and add 1d4 to all persuasion checks (lightfoot works if eberron isn't allowed). You'd miss out on darkvision, and the extra unarmed damage that's fitting from the Tabaxi, but I think the features you get as a halfling work out much better flavour wise.
