I didn't love it, but it served its purpose for the films. Realistically, Strange is much more powerful than he is portrayed in the MCU, and I was a big fan of the way his powers were represented in Dr. Strange #1 by Aaron and Bachalo. Him having a "True Sight" that shows him the hidden world all around us and the nature of his use of cosmic dark energy causing a detrimental strain to his physical body gave him a legitimate weakness to his seemingly limitless potential and power. But I did enjoy his witticisms and he was as clever as I had hoped him to be. Truly, Benedict Cumberbatch did a fantastic job of portraying the character.
RIOT I think they’re gonna buff him extremely in The Multiverse of Madness. Although he is powerful in Infinity War and Endgame, I believe he’s gonna get the buff he deserves. And Benedict Cumberbatch is amazing as Doctor Strange.
I love how a negative to the build is the fact that he’s game breaking. As someone with a DM who will let almost anything fly, I look forward to him trying to work around me now.
If I was this character last alive or near death I'd try use plane shift on myself and the creature which is threatening. Can you imagine how a much of a cool ending to a character that would be?
"Pain's an old friend." "Animate Objects" is a fantastic spell, but the Cloak Of Levitation would probably be more of an intelligent magic-item... a Cloak Of Flight that can "Animate Objects" itself and, as you described, essentially become another party member. Heck, if there's a feat for it, take the Cloak as a familiar.
@@grantbaugh2773 Yeah, if you've got a DM who won't let you play your character your way and give you thematically-appropriate magic-items and gear... find a new DM. Because that DM is a controlling asshole who delights in TPKs and the idea of "Playing God." I've never been that kind of DM, and I'd never play in a campaign run by that kind of DM.
Couldn't you use Awaken on the cloak to turn it into a sentient object? You would need a Druid for that I believe...but not outside the realms of possibility
For some early on time shenanigans, take Hold Person/Monster to halt time for one creature, and then Slow and Haste to slow down or fast forward time respectively.
There's one issue that I think about this build now that I've had more experience with playing, and that's the fact that if you use the +2 AC reaction you can only use a Cantrip. But if you're in a battle, none of the Cantrips you took at Level 1 can do damage. So I'd just replace Minor Illusion with Lighting Lure since that's the energy whip he always does and it doesn't suffer from most other ranged cantrips being at disadvantage up-close while covering up to fifteen feet. Since the enemy hit you already then they're probably up-close to begin with, so the damage should work even without the save.
I always forget how powerful Strange actually is. Since he doesn't have as much screen time as other powerful characters so far, and he is mostly shown in one-on-one fights, you don't get the same massive displays of power from him that others do (think Thor obliterating Hela's army or Captain Marvel destroying Thanos' ship). But he managed to hold off Thanos with four Infinity Stones, turned a black hole into harmless butterflies and trapped an all powerful interdimensonal being in a time loop (with the power of the time stone sure, but still, that required skill on his part). I hope we see more of this stuff in Multiverse of Madness, and the way things are shaping up, we might see him fight Scarlet Witch, which would be a sight to behold.
Anything that summons undeads, finger of death ofc, dimensional door... Most of it is pretty clear but how would you translate "the goal of all life is death"? wish?
I feel like Death domain Theurgy wizard would do it (remember he's specialized in insta death effects more then corpse raising) also make sure to grab power word kill.
So... the way to be Dr. Strange in D&D is to just play a regular wizard. makes sense. Although I was kind of expecting you to throw in some monk levels or something.
Love watching your builds they give me ideas on builds for my characters and something to take into account is equipment you can improve these builds with equipment or magical items
Oh, yes please on the first two! I played a variant of Nightcrawler in some system once, but I felt like I wasn't really getting the build right for what I wanted. (I did find out that I'm horrible at interrogating bad guys, so that was a thing.)
I feel like he would be the ultimate multi class spellcaster. Wizard- Had to study and practice to learn magic. For this I would put School of Conjuration. Warlock- Invokes the powers of other planes and divine beings. For this I would put Great Old One since he uses the powers of divine beings to cast certain spells. Sorcerer- Stated several times that he has a natural gift for the mystic arts and also that he was made for them. Wild Magic, in the comics every spell has a consequence. Druid- He commands one of the prime laws of nature with the time stone (very loose connection). Circle of the Stars. Time Stone can do the Star map stuff and some other of that cool jazz. Cleric- He was a Doctor and clerics are typically healers. There is also a joke in the movie that this whole thing magic sounds like a cult, and a cult is actually a synonym for religion, though it has been misconstrued to be evil. Light Domain Cleric, that sweet Time Stone. Bard- He keeps stories of Magic and ancient Heroes and Beasts alive. Standard College of Lore. Fighter- okay, this sounds crazy, but hear me out. Strange had to get martial arts training while learning magic, so it isn’t all that difficult to say that he is an Eldritch Knig- wait... did you just say he’s an Echo Knight? TIME STONE BABY!!
Way to go man! When I first saw this I was terrified you were going to have 10 random multi class levels in at least 2 other classes. Very glad you didn’t weaken the character with a bunch of monk levels or something.
Nice job. Stan Lee created Doctor Strange a decade before Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson created Dungeons & Dragons. "Sorcerer" historically means something completely different (and much darker) than the "mutant" powers of the popular D&D class.
I like where you went with War mage, but I really think that Chronurgy from explorers guide to wild mount would fit the bill better because it deals with the control and manipulation of time
I would argue that he should have three level of ranger for the Horizon Walker subclass, since detecting extradimensional threats is his job as Sorcerer Supreme
I'd ask the DM if I could just replace "to another plane of existence" with "anywhere on this plane" in certain spells to really get that Stephen Strange feel.
He's got a house full of stuff, mostly items he's keeping locked up. But his standard equipment is a clock (flight) and an amulet (divination effects).
He lost his hands in the car crash and, therefore, lost most of his dexterity. Also, as he mentioned, you need a High Con to maintain Concentration on your Spells.
He didn't lose his hands but did take nerve damage that messed up his dexterity and ended his career as a surgeon. That was part of how he ended up getting into magic in the first place. He used to be a rich celebrity surgeon and a bit of a selfish ass. Think Tony Stark minus the gadgets.
I mean, you can easily switch one of the cantrips for a damaging one, this build is just a guideline, and as Tulok said Strange can basically cast any spell on the Wizard list.
Great build but something that i couldnt stop thinking about is how he really isnt a wizard or a sorcerer hes actually a warlock because he draws his power from the vishanti
Strange is a great old one pact of the tome warlock (Vishanti patron) with the hermit or scholar background and a butt load of magical items. He's not a DnD Wizard despite the name.
No, because a Warlock is working under a patron that can take away the Warlocks magic as they see fit. Doctor Strange isn't exactly working under anyone or pulling his magic from any source. The magic he learned was through study, practice, and teaching from the best wizards. You are mistaking his power source for the Ancient One, who DID draw her power from Dormammu and would be a great old one warlock.
it would be 51 different options not 42-- wizards have 6 spells at first level + 19*2+ the 2 signature spells+5 cantrips and that's not including any spells you've picked up along the way
i love this stuff, and ive started doing my own (im the guy who mentioned Joker and Inuyasha a few videos back). but i have a question you mentioned in the last comment section that anime was your blindspot for this kind of stuff. would you at all mind if i started trying to do a series like this for my channel on more of those anime builds? i'd obviously give you credit for the idea, i just really wanna try doing stuff like this more often. if not, i understand. thanks for reading this anyway!
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 you got it. I might not be able to edit as well as you can (or at all), but I got pretty decent ideas for the builds (along with my dnd discord server helping out :P )
Your videos are awesome. Please keep up the fantastic work. Would you please be so kind as to do a "How to play Will Treaty in D&D", from "Ranger's Apprentice".
I'll be up front, it's hard for me to make builds without footage, so book characters are far off on the horizon. I never say never, but it would need to be a different kind of video.
I thought he was more of a warlock, or at least a mix of wizard and warlock. He summons a shortsword in Infinity War, he totally uses Chains of Carceri (invocation) against Thanos multiple times, and he also uses a few of the invocations.
@@cobalt2220 you are indeed wrong.a component pounch and a arcane focus dont help with anything that cost money.batshit and sulfur for a fireball can be replaced by a staff or gotten from a pouch,but a diamond diamond worth 100 gold from chromatic orb has to be bought in-game
Cobalt I think the way it’s worded is it can replace anything that doesn’t have a gold cost. But if something has a gold cost, it is usually consumed. The diamond for this spell is one of the few gold cost components that aren’t consumed. Or, if you have a cool DM, it won’t matter and you can cast the spell regardless of whether you have that diamond or not.
I've enjoyed all your videos that I've seen to date. But I'd like to view how you'd creat Zorro [Don Diego De la Vega] and Zorro [Alejandro Murrieta]. But this is one man's thought on it.
He has a PhD as well as an MD. I wonder what this PhD is in. My guess is biochemistry since it would explain how he was able to master the mystic arts so quickly. Biochemistry is practically witchcraft :)
So me and my friend s want to start a campaign with me as the DM. None of have played before and I have no idea what to do and where to start any tips?
I'd say until you get more experience as a DM, use one of the published beginner-friendly modules. You can always make changes, but that way you don't have to come up with everything from scratch before you know how anything works. Just google "d&d beginner module" or "d&d starter adventure" or somesuch.
Can you do Ainz Ooal Gown, from Overlord anime, if you haven't done it yet? I'm planning to try it, in Neverwinter Nights, on ps4, which I'm limited in, but would look like: Male Variant Human (Initiate Lich) Wizard, specializing in Necromancy, with Pale Master Prestige.
Hey! I really enjoy your videos.. The concepts are so awesome and duable. I do have a question, do you think yugi moto from yugioh could be a playable dnd character or at least include the millennium items in a campaign
I love Constantine, he lost a recent poll, but I definitely have plans to get him built eventually. Anime is my blind spot, so builds for that are waiting until I can get a little more knowledge of them. Glad you like the videos!
LONG POST INCOMING I play a Constantine-like character for one of my home games, here’s his specs: Human Variant, Haunted One UA Background, 14 levels of Divine Soul Sorcerer and 6 Levels of Fiend Warlock with an Imp familiar from Pact of The Chain. Get the Prodigy and Keen Mind feat to represent his natural talent and cunning mind. For his stats: Charisma is your most important stat followed by Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity and Strength as your dump stat. Constantine is an expert deceiver and manipulator, he’s pretty tough for a human, damn smart in arcane and occultism, but he’s pretty lacking in physical prowess. Wisdom is also pretty low because no wise man would even consider trying to con MULTIPLE DEMON LORDS by SELLING HIS SOUL TO ALL OF THEM as a part of a convoluted plan to remove his lung cancer. Constantine is pretty much CN when it comes to alignment but he does lean a bit to CG since he has a soft spot for wayward souls and children due to his backstory, he will often risk the lives of everyone in the party in order to achieve his goals, and he have absolutely no shame in using cheap and underhanded tactics to get what he wants. Constantine won’t make his regret and self-loathing any secret and will openly warn others not to get too attached to him as he fully believes that everything he cares about will be destroyed and its all his fault. Constantine will cheat, manipulate, lie and use anything and everything he can to achieve his goals. Once he sets his mind into something, he is will do his damn best to get it by any means necessary. He’s also fiercely loyal to the very few people he cares about even when he says he doesn’t. John Constantine is a right prick but deep down he has a good heart, even if he doesn’t want to admit it. TL;DR Make a self-deprecating, nihilistic, tsundere, Human SorLock with an edgy backstory and a nicotine addiction.
I love it "How to play Dr Strange" "Play a wizard. Well, that was a short video, now how about those Packers?" Im watching these at random and totally out of order, is there a running count on how many end up being literally nothing more complex than "Play as this class to 20, use fluff to make it like the character concept you are after"? I mean, its one thing for classes that have limited options to specifically pick the ones that let you be that character but excludes all else, but its even in this video, wizards get a LOT of spells, so making sure these specific ones are also on the pile doesnt really seem to be a hardship.
Episode 42 of the Fire Emblem stats: Steven Strange. Unsurprisingly, Dr. Strange's best weapons are both types of magic and flight. He's bad at all sorts of weapons that are carried since he can't use his hands. His speed, magic, resistance, and luck are great and the only stat that is bad is strength. And here's a bonus since I saw it in the poll but not in a video: San. As a woman in tune with nature, the princess of the vengeful spirits is quite adept at flight and horseback riding. In addition, she's great at using lances and swords (closest thing to knives). She's not good at magic because although she's a goddess, she never uses any magic. She's fast and lucky but both of her magic stats aren't very good.
I thinking that maybe there should be some monk levels in there, since a lot of the physical fighting Strange does is is martial artsy, but going full spellcaster works too since it is his main talent to draw from. I was also thinking about which class of spellcaster he should be. His title is SORCERER Supreme, but the way in which he gains his powers are more similar to a wizard, so I think a wizard is, in my opinion, the right choice.
I understand the use of ASIs, both as a necessary stat boost because of using standard array AND because Feats are an optional rule.....but..... I'd be interested to know how your build would differ if you were using Feats.
love this, only thing is when I did it, medic feat would not show, i could only choose grappler. I know this comment is years after video, but any help would be appreciated
Does anybody have any tips on a homebrewed spell that basicly makes a magical see through wall that can block attacks (elder scrolls wards. Or just what dr. Strange sometimes uses)
@@sutiiiven Disagreed. He just made like 1 million persuasion checks, until he hit the nat 20 often enough that the DM was like: "You know what? Your time lock ability is ridiculous! I will give you this one, but I won't let you do this ever again!"
I love these episodes, but I’d like to ask that you please speak more slowly. My brain hears the details running together with no time to process them. Halfway through every episode, the narration starts to sound like white noise to me. Again, love the show. Thanks!
![Natanael Cano - Amor Eterno [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EO4prCs6WpM/mqdefault.jpg)
You say he's excellent at making bargains, but it's only because he got to keep making the persuasion check as many times as he needed
Dude got a home brew lucky feat pretty much
Should’ve dumped Dexterity, on account of his hands.
I’m at least happy he didn’t because of the AC issue made by that. It’s a nice idea flavor-wise, but that just being Sleight of Hand makes more sense.
I'd argue the low strength covers that
That’s a 9 in natural AC then
Probably didn’t have prof in acrobatics.
Bruh
I love Dr Strange as he’s presented in the MCU. I love that way of thinking about and presenting spellcasting.
I didn't love it, but it served its purpose for the films. Realistically, Strange is much more powerful than he is portrayed in the MCU, and I was a big fan of the way his powers were represented in Dr. Strange #1 by Aaron and Bachalo.

Although he is powerful in Infinity War and Endgame, I believe he’s gonna get the buff he deserves. And Benedict Cumberbatch is amazing as Doctor Strange.
RIOT an example of this is him having to use a ring to teleport instead of just casting a spell
I love how a negative to the build is the fact that he’s game breaking. As someone with a DM who will let almost anything fly, I look forward to him trying to work around me now.
If I was this character last alive or near death I'd try use plane shift on myself and the creature which is threatening. Can you imagine how a much of a cool ending to a character that would be?
"Pain's an old friend."
"Animate Objects" is a fantastic spell, but the Cloak Of Levitation would probably be more of an intelligent magic-item... a Cloak Of Flight that can "Animate Objects" itself and, as you described, essentially become another party member. Heck, if there's a feat for it, take the Cloak as a familiar.
While I agree, he's said before in these builds that he avoids magic items since you can't control getting those in many campaigns.
@@grantbaugh2773 Yeah, if you've got a DM who won't let you play your character your way and give you thematically-appropriate magic-items and gear... find a new DM. Because that DM is a controlling asshole who delights in TPKs and the idea of "Playing God." I've never been that kind of DM, and I'd never play in a campaign run by that kind of DM.
Couldn't you use Awaken on the cloak to turn it into a sentient object? You would need a Druid for that I believe...but not outside the realms of possibility
Zargoth's Tome of Familiars has what you're looking for. Check it out!
For some early on time shenanigans, take Hold Person/Monster to halt time for one creature, and then Slow and Haste to slow down or fast forward time respectively.
I recommend this build with a Robe of Archmagi. This helps add in some more defense and sets your AC to 15 naturally.
This is perfect. Dr. Strange fits seamlessly into D&D.
There's one issue that I think about this build now that I've had more experience with playing, and that's the fact that if you use the +2 AC reaction you can only use a Cantrip. But if you're in a battle, none of the Cantrips you took at Level 1 can do damage. So I'd just replace Minor Illusion with Lighting Lure since that's the energy whip he always does and it doesn't suffer from most other ranged cantrips being at disadvantage up-close while covering up to fifteen feet. Since the enemy hit you already then they're probably up-close to begin with, so the damage should work even without the save.
I'd pick Firebolt or Chill Touch probably, just because those Cantrips are pretty solid in general
Good idea!
@@jcdenton2187 they specifically talk about ac and lightning lure because that means ranged attacks would be at a disadvantage.
Chronurgy from explorer's guide to wildmount would be a good choice for Strange due to the Time Stone
I always forget how powerful Strange actually is. Since he doesn't have as much screen time as other powerful characters so far, and he is mostly shown in one-on-one fights, you don't get the same massive displays of power from him that others do (think Thor obliterating Hela's army or Captain Marvel destroying Thanos' ship). But he managed to hold off Thanos with four Infinity Stones, turned a black hole into harmless butterflies and trapped an all powerful interdimensonal being in a time loop (with the power of the time stone sure, but still, that required skill on his part). I hope we see more of this stuff in Multiverse of Madness, and the way things are shaping up, we might see him fight Scarlet Witch, which would be a sight to behold.
We totally need a video for Dr Victor Von Doom, Master of the scientific and Magical arts!
Variant Human, Noble background, Artificer, take the heavy armor feat, Wizard
Just play wizard, “especially the wizard”
I've always pictured the wizard's Shield spell as those shields he uses all the time.
Ainz Ooal Goan, anime Lich from Overlord would be cool
Anything that summons undeads, finger of death ofc, dimensional door...
Most of it is pretty clear but how would you translate "the goal of all life is death"?
wish?
I mean, liches already exist, and are casters of an insane level so they probably know enough spells to be Ainz
Ainz is too easy to convert to make an episode for honestly
I feel like Death domain Theurgy wizard would do it (remember he's specialized in insta death effects more then corpse raising) also make sure to grab power word kill.
I would personally make him a really powerful NPC
"youre a wizard Steven!"
**Expected a SORCERER, a Master of the Mystic Arts**
**Got a full blown Wizard**

Low-key, one day I hope theres a Eldritch Knight esque barb subclass that let's you rage with spells.

I think of him more as a sorcerer than a wizard tbh
@@xxxrobinhorx well, he is called the Sorcerer Supreme, though in DnD terms, he is absolutely a wizard
High-Lord Harza Yeah it’s because wizards need like books n shit to cast their spells while dr strange doesnt
Would prodigy work for variant feat? +1skill, +1 tool +1 language and expertise for 1 skill (medicine?)
Oh for sure! I just liked the max health rolling from Medic.
Yeah, if your DM allows it, take Medic as Tulok stated, but if your DM nixes it, then certainly take Prodigy for the Variant Feat

Yet another great build! I'm gonna try this one out next game I join
Do it!
Huh, NO Crimson Bands of Cytorak? Kinda an icon Dr Strange spell (even used in the MCU)
Hold person i guess, and definitely on his wizard's signature spell list
This is basically just the ultimate caster build
I feel like he would be the ultimate multi class spellcaster.
Wizard- Had to study and practice to learn magic. For this I would put School of Conjuration.
Warlock- Invokes the powers of other planes and divine beings. For this I would put Great Old One since he uses the powers of divine beings to cast certain spells.
Sorcerer- Stated several times that he has a natural gift for the mystic arts and also that he was made for them. Wild Magic, in the comics every spell has a consequence.
Druid- He commands one of the prime laws of nature with the time stone (very loose connection). Circle of the Stars. Time Stone can do the Star map stuff and some other of that cool jazz.
Cleric- He was a Doctor and clerics are typically healers. There is also a joke in the movie that this whole thing magic sounds like a cult, and a cult is actually a synonym for religion, though it has been misconstrued to be evil. Light Domain Cleric, that sweet Time Stone.
Bard- He keeps stories of Magic and ancient Heroes and Beasts alive. Standard College of Lore.
Fighter- okay, this sounds crazy, but hear me out. Strange had to get martial arts training while learning magic, so it isn’t all that difficult to say that he is an Eldritch Knig- wait... did you just say he’s an Echo Knight? TIME STONE BABY!!
I would have gone with the Divination school, what with his ability to see the future with the Time Stone
i agree, but i think he didn't want to give him a power that in the comics and movies was granted to him by a wonderous item.
Eh, that is the stone's power, not his.
Pro: You can be Benedict Cumberbatch
This is hands down the build that feels the most like an archetypical dnd character. #DecemberTulokRewatch
Way to go man! When I first saw this I was terrified you were going to have 10 random multi class levels in at least 2 other classes. Very glad you didn’t weaken the character with a bunch of monk levels or something.
how to play John Constantine in DnD?
IDK, celestial warlock/paladin/ranger?
Just celestial warlock really, or maybe just paladin. But definately not a mix.
Nice job. Stan Lee created Doctor Strange a decade before Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson created Dungeons & Dragons. "Sorcerer" historically means something completely different (and much darker) than the "mutant" powers of the popular D&D class.
Wouldn't that whip he does be Lighting Lure?
This...this is just a Wizard
Stephen Strange would be considered pretty powerful, but overall normal in DND.
Well, to be fair, Dr. Strange is pretty much a bog-standard Wizard. He's just VERY VERY accomplished and experienced at it.
I was hoping for something more as well, but my hopes were misplaced.
Wrong character for that.
No no no, not a wizard, *THE* wizard.
I like where you went with War mage, but I really think that Chronurgy from explorers guide to wild mount would fit the bill better because it deals with the control and manipulation of time
I'd actually give him wish as well, using it to reverse time (and anything else Strange does that has no dnd spell )
I would argue that he should have three level of ranger for the Horizon Walker subclass, since detecting extradimensional threats is his job as Sorcerer Supreme
there is an actual subclass "time wizard" now
0:22 I fear no man, but that thing.... It scares me.
I'd ask the DM if I could just replace "to another plane of existence" with "anywhere on this plane" in certain spells to really get that Stephen Strange feel.
for added complexity you can probably throw equpment and items into the mix
He's got a house full of stuff, mostly items he's keeping locked up. But his standard equipment is a clock (flight) and an amulet (divination effects).
I'd replace the medic feat with Artificer Initiate and grab cure wounds for intelligence.
I'd have personally gone for Conjuration, benign transposition is very much something he uses
Shoulda swapped Con and Dex, he's a surgeon, obviously he's going to be extremely dexterous
He lost his hands in the car crash and, therefore, lost most of his dexterity. Also, as he mentioned, you need a High Con to maintain Concentration on your Spells.
@@ForeverDegenerate More like Doctor No Hands

This is awasome, thank you very much!
There's no damage cantrips. How does he function in tier 1!?
You don't

and that's not including any spells you've picked up along the way
If you have seen Marvel's What if, he's summoning illusionary dragons now
You know, I said I preferred to do a big punchy but like damn, maybe sometimes I need to do a big casty

remember that you need to buy the diamond to cast chromatic orb.its a investment to say the least at level 1
Correct me if I'm wrong but you could just get the arcane focus to ignore the diamond, or assume you start with it if you have a component pouch.
@@cobalt2220 you are indeed wrong.a component pounch and a arcane focus dont help with anything that cost money.batshit and sulfur for a fireball can be replaced by a staff or gotten from a pouch,but a diamond diamond worth 100 gold from chromatic orb has to be bought in-game
@@lukelblitz3627 if it isn't consumed, I thought the foci substitutes it.
Cobalt I think the way it’s worded is it can replace anything that doesn’t have a gold cost. But if something has a gold cost, it is usually consumed. The diamond for this spell is one of the few gold cost components that aren’t consumed. Or, if you have a cool DM, it won’t matter and you can cast the spell regardless of whether you have that diamond or not.
I've enjoyed all your videos that I've seen to date. But I'd like to view how you'd creat Zorro [Don Diego De la Vega] and Zorro [Alejandro Murrieta]. But this is one man's thought on it.
Can you do a build based off the dude from Assassin's Creed main character (Desmond !?!)
Make a rogue, hit level three; become an assassin. Congratz, give him a knife and reskin it as a hidden blade.
He has a PhD as well as an MD. I wonder what this PhD is in.
My guess is biochemistry since it would explain how he was able to master the mystic arts so quickly.
Biochemistry is practically witchcraft :)
whew this video sure was STRANGE
From beginning to End...game.
So me and my friend s want to start a campaign with me as the DM. None of have played before and I have no idea what to do and where to start any tips?
I'd say until you get more experience as a DM, use one of the published beginner-friendly modules. You can always make changes, but that way you don't have to come up with everything from scratch before you know how anything works. Just google "d&d beginner module" or "d&d starter adventure" or somesuch.

Ok.... That's so broken I wouldn't want anyone to use it EVER. You literally can't hurt it, but it hurts you. WOW
Can you do Ainz Ooal Gown, from Overlord anime, if you haven't done it yet? I'm planning to try it, in Neverwinter Nights, on ps4, which I'm limited in, but would look like:
Male Variant Human (Initiate Lich) Wizard, specializing in Necromancy, with Pale Master Prestige.
you should do Harry Dresden
I feel like he should have the Lightning Lure cantrip from the Sword Coast Guide because he seems to use that a lot.
Rainbow Randolph, Smoochy, or Ronnie Dobbs from "Run Ronnie Run" you know you want to.
Hey! I really enjoy your videos.. The concepts are so awesome and duable. I do have a question, do you think yugi moto from yugioh could be a playable dnd character or at least include the millennium items in a campaign
I am a brasilian player of D&D,i'm loving your job dude,its possible to make Constantine and kirito,if not answer me pls
I love Constantine, he lost a recent poll, but I definitely have plans to get him built eventually. Anime is my blind spot, so builds for that are waiting until I can get a little more knowledge of them. Glad you like the videos!

LONG POST INCOMING
I play a Constantine-like character for one of my home games, here’s his specs:
Human Variant, Haunted One UA Background, 14 levels of Divine Soul Sorcerer and 6 Levels of Fiend Warlock with an Imp familiar from Pact of The Chain. Get the Prodigy and Keen Mind feat to represent his natural talent and cunning mind.
For his stats: Charisma is your most important stat followed by Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity and Strength as your dump stat. Constantine is an expert deceiver and manipulator, he’s pretty tough for a human, damn smart in arcane and occultism, but he’s pretty lacking in physical prowess. Wisdom is also pretty low because no wise man would even consider trying to con MULTIPLE DEMON LORDS by SELLING HIS SOUL TO ALL OF THEM as a part of a convoluted plan to remove his lung cancer.
Constantine is pretty much CN when it comes to alignment but he does lean a bit to CG since he has a soft spot for wayward souls and children due to his backstory, he will often risk the lives of everyone in the party in order to achieve his goals, and he have absolutely no shame in using cheap and underhanded tactics to get what he wants. Constantine won’t make his regret and self-loathing any secret and will openly warn others not to get too attached to him as he fully believes that everything he cares about will be destroyed and its all his fault. Constantine will cheat, manipulate, lie and use anything and everything he can to achieve his goals. Once he sets his mind into something, he is will do his damn best to get it by any means necessary. He’s also fiercely loyal to the very few people he cares about even when he says he doesn’t.
John Constantine is a right prick but deep down he has a good heart, even if he doesn’t want to admit it.
TL;DR Make a self-deprecating, nihilistic, tsundere, Human SorLock with an edgy backstory and a nicotine addiction.
I love it "How to play Dr Strange" "Play a wizard. Well, that was a short video, now how about those Packers?" Im watching these at random and totally out of order, is there a running count on how many end up being literally nothing more complex than "Play as this class to 20, use fluff to make it like the character concept you are after"? I mean, its one thing for classes that have limited options to specifically pick the ones that let you be that character but excludes all else, but its even in this video, wizards get a LOT of spells, so making sure these specific ones are also on the pile doesnt really seem to be a hardship.
So far at least three. Raven=fiend warlock, Poison Ivy=spore druid and Dr. Strange=wizard. I have seen most up to this point but not all.
@@kellydolan9717 Beastboy is a 20 druid as well, focusing entirely on shapeshifting.
Episode 42 of the Fire Emblem stats: Steven Strange.
Unsurprisingly, Dr. Strange's best weapons are both types of magic and flight. He's bad at all sorts of weapons that are carried since he can't use his hands.
His speed, magic, resistance, and luck are great and the only stat that is bad is strength.
And here's a bonus since I saw it in the poll but not in a video: San.
As a woman in tune with nature, the princess of the vengeful spirits is quite adept at flight and horseback riding. In addition, she's great at using lances and swords (closest thing to knives). She's not good at magic because although she's a goddess, she never uses any magic.
She's fast and lucky but both of her magic stats aren't very good.
I am so happy I sub. to this channel.
Happy to have you. :)
How to play Lucario in D&D
I thinking that maybe there should be some monk levels in there, since a lot of the physical fighting Strange does is is martial artsy, but going full spellcaster works too since it is his main talent to draw from. I was also thinking about which class of spellcaster he should be. His title is SORCERER Supreme, but the way in which he gains his powers are more similar to a wizard, so I think a wizard is, in my opinion, the right choice.
He gains his powers from the Vishanti which are elder gods. He's a pact of the tome great old one warlock for sure.
I understand the use of ASIs, both as a necessary stat boost because of using standard array AND because Feats are an optional rule.....but.....
I'd be interested to know how your build would differ if you were using Feats.
Let's see that geralt!!!
*Dr. Strange*
A variant human wizard, perhaps the most powerful in the world
love this, only thing is when I did it, medic feat would not show, i could only choose grappler. I know this comment is years after video, but any help would be appreciated
I think of him more as...
Monk [open hand] 3 / Sorcerer [draconic?] 17
...M.A.D. as hell though!
Medic, Ritual Caster [wizard], & Prodigy Feats.
Are you going to make your Dr. Fate build a warlock?
Please do Scarlet Witch
How would you build Harry Dresden
Haven't watched but guessing this'll be 20 lvls in wizard
can you do joker from persona 5 ?
My guess for something like that would be A lot of Rogue (Thief) Levels and maybe some Warlock levels.
Can you please do the batman who laughs please?
So the sorcerer supreme is wizard and the scarlet witch is sorcerer?
Can you do one but with Doctor Fate?
That's DC's Dr Strange.
He should also be way of the astral self monk
Does anybody have any tips on a homebrewed spell that basicly makes a magical see through wall that can block attacks (elder scrolls wards. Or just what dr. Strange sometimes uses)
Wall of force? Resilient sphere?
12 charisma?
ive come to bargain that....
how about, 20?
good...
MaxUniverse He took 20 on the persuasion check
@@sutiiiven Disagreed. He just made like 1 million persuasion checks, until he hit the nat 20 often enough that the DM was like: "You know what? Your time lock ability is ridiculous! I will give you this one, but I won't let you do this ever again!"
How to play Night King from Game of Thrones?
*ice lich*
I'm trying to figure out how to build Meliodas from 7 deadly sins could you possibly help me out please? 5E
I love these episodes, but I’d like to ask that you please speak more slowly. My brain hears the details running together with no time to process them. Halfway through every episode, the narration starts to sound like white noise to me. Again, love the show. Thanks!
Adjust the playback speed to x.75
no Thanos? without the gauntlet tho
What 3 languages would be the best picks?
But what about his magical weapons he summons what spells would be good
You should make Meta Knight from SSBU
I would’ve bumped dex up to where con was just because brain surgery requires precision, which is a dex thing.
