Option: instead of cleric, take a level of rogue. This lets you expertise in deception and sleight of hand. Prioritize Int, Dex, and Cha

Imagine having El Santos in D&D. 😂 But I kid, this is not only the best Luchadore class but the best wrestling class I've ever seen. Really makes you feel like a wrestler without making you feel like a boring grapple machine. And I love how you implemented wrestling moves to encourage the player to use them or lose them. Gonna have to pick it up myself. Edit: Is there anyway that you could impliment a subclass for those luchadores that lean more into being a heel? Maybe more crowd control or fear-based? Edit2: Looks like you already thought of that. Amazing!

Love this video clicked 9n it because I just made a peace cleric Loxodon and the Loxodon is you still frame for this video.

A merchant Artificer that gets to add its intelligence modifier to charisma rolls

I could give you an honorable Mention via Valda's Spire of Secrets: which lets you have the Craftsman as a True artificer

Your suggestions are all very good, and the previous comments add some others for inspiration. Allow me to add one that I didn’t see mentioned: Mobile. If, like me, you’re the only pure martial character in the party then Mobile is very useful for moving around the battlefield with (excuse the pun) reckless abandon. My Barbarian’s play style is to run to support/relieve one squishy companion after another, without worrying about opportunity attacks or difficult terrain. For flavour nothing is scarier than a bellowing Goliath who can dash 100ft in six seconds; it really counteracts opponents who look to Misty Step away - oops, not far enough buddy.

Tell me more about this shadow 🧐

"Cause for some reason, whenever you're a beast of some kind you always form a tribe or a clan." Savage beasts being the ones who form tribes is definitely coincidental on WOTC's part... Definitely.

Just got your channel reccomended. Really liking the videos on player races! I've also been a bit disappointed with Gnolls' position in 5e. If you take reccomendations; Sahuagin next? I always thought the sheer ammount of lore they had in previous editions made it kind of a waste to not have them as a player race, especially since similarily millitaristic and evil races like Githyanki and Hobgoblins are open for playing.

Either he is called Shadow Villadious Zero, GothDum IronBane, Monkilador the Nightmare Bringer, or Zod Illkilmord. Whatever you call him, he is the Demon Lord of Villainy, Wickedness, and Destruction. He is the Arch Bringer of Chaos, and the Ruler of the Centralized Multiverse Faction The Void Empire. He can change is size and form at will. His True Form is that of just a cloud of Pure Darkness. From which, he can display Deep Crimson Eyes, and also extend long dark shadowy clawed hands. His usual appearance is that of a Humanoid person, with hair of Buzzsaws and donning 4 Hats stacked atop his head like a towering Crown. He is one of the 9 Wielders of the Staves of the Multiverses, and he, of course, wields the staff of Villainy, Wickedness, and Destruction. His arch enemy is Illuminar Solaristar, but he is usually called Luminar Solaris. He is known as the High Warrior of Light, and also the Chief General of the Armies of the United Universes.

limited fantasy just feels like its an imaginary problem

Good insights. Hope to see more videos with different classes in the future. I'd be interested in playing a Berserker Noble or Sailor. Not all nobles lead from their castles. You had me with Viking Sailor, even though Tavern Brawler isn't my favorite.

I appreciate your RP angles when discussing these backgrounds. But I have one quibble. You mentioned needing Wis to make Perception viable, Dex to make Acrobatics viable, and Cha to make Intimidation viable. But I think that Primal Knowledge plus the changes to Rage makes all viable on a Str-based barb at least some of the time. Perception is the one that I think is most liable to come up when a Barbarian isn't Raging, and it might come up too many times a day to allow Barbs to Rage just to increase their use of this skill. But the other two in my experience come up fairly infrequently (Intimidation) or fairly infrequently outside of combat (Acrobatics), when the Barbarian is likely to be Raging anyway.

Are there fixed hitboxes everywhere?

The Painter looks like a fun concept. Personally, I think a rune magic focused subclass could be nice. Like you have the ability to craft powerful runes and you prepare different ones. You get access to stronger effects as the class levels up. You can call it the Rune Priest or something like that.

I think gnolls are just gross, but since Gary Gygax didn't even have much of an idea for them, I'm excluding them entirely.

"Click clacks go brrr" this man is speaking to my heart with that one

In the Fizban's Treasury of Dragons Ascendant Aspect Blind Sight is 10 feet. I wished it was 30 feet, the Wizard of the Coast nerf it.

A flavor of this that I made for a game was the necrichor patron Homebrewed a little with the spirit projection, replaced with a focus on blood instead, you send your blood out and mechanically it functions more or less the same.. Form of dread takes ques from the necrichor patron, your eyes and mouth begin to bleed and you have blood floating around you, even blood from your own wounds joins in. The patron has a piece of itself inside the warlock, both as a means of sharing the power and if the necrichor is destroyed, it can use you, its humble servant as a respawn point..

I don't know about problematic stuff as these are not real races. But good video and informative

Our campaign is movie character anti-heroes or villains and I’m doing a vampire bard college of seduction based off of Lestat de Lioncourt 😂

This is amazing!

So fire.

I mean, artificer is pretty good for Eberron, but for other settings it can be kind of weird, since mages are the ones that deal with magic items. But for me, the crafting, and the flavor stuff like magical tinkering is the only thing that needs change. I loved the artillerist and alchemist. I also loved the unearthed arcana spell for adding elemental damage to strikes, maybe like the new ranger this needs to be a feature, and not a spell.

Oh this is spicy I really can’t tell you how much I love it. This is awesome

You forgot Kyrnn, the world that Dragonlance takes place and Greyhawk 🙄. The new system coming out in the D&D Player's Handbooks is great. Monks are extremely damn wicked, this with The Warrior of the Ascending Dragon 🐉 or the former class The Way of the Ascending Dragon. Is going to be awesome, can't wait to get away from 5th edition D&D Player's Handbooks. My character Makish is Human Warrior of the Ascending Dragon 🐉, alignment is Lawful Neutral and Background Folk Hero. 6th Wings Unfurled should be Transmutation Fly Spell, Blind Sight should be 30 feet but what do we know, they don't give a 💩 what we think or say at Wizards of the Coast.

I played with a homebrewed magic item that gave my druid zephyr strike and booming blade and along with the cloud giant feats from glory of giants it hit a lot of the same vibes of this class. Loved the theme of it all and this full class hits home even better.

Meanwhile I'm sitting here prepping to go in as a Zealot Barbarian.

Other idea, warlock with raven queen patron, the raven queen hate undead and she s a pretty chill boss

I’m using this class with my Tabaxi Dhamir, making it possible to scale walls and throw my blades from above. Dhampir can also feed off psychic energy so I reflavoured the bite to be one the creature feels mentally whenever they take that 1d4 piercing damage. A fun class to play around with

I play a Gnoll Rogue/Warlock (Pact of the Fiend, of course) in a Homebrew setting and he’s one of my favorite characters in 30+ years of playing. He’s loyal to Yeenoghu and can usually out-evil the BBEG as the epitome of the murder hobo. I added insatiable hunger, contagious disease and hideous laughter to make him more fun.

That’s not a parrot

Where do you get these angelic healing portraits?

I REALLY am thinking about making a pissed-off barbarian/fighter goblin who is trying to find his clan’s gold/ artifacts after a group of adventurers came and looted them from the village. Did I mention his main weapon is a skillet?

Dude do this with the berserker barbarian!

Absolutely amazing dude, definitely one hell of a build for wolverine. My personal build is a little different. Though most things remain the same, Instead of fighter, I suggest a dip into monk as the class abilities do add some much needed mobility, and patient defence means we can use dwarven fortitude more. I suggest 11 levels of way of the long death monk, as it helps a lot with how unkillable wolverine is, especially the 11th level class ability to just pop back up to 1 hp instead of being unconscious by spending a ki point. However, that is to take nothing away from yours, which is insanely good

Enjoyed this video was short and sweet, every video I looked up on this was just way too long

Did not stop me to make a Gnoll Character as a playable Character for a Hero Party.

It's rather remarkable that they put a block on playable gnolls, given how SHORT the previous lore made their justification, and how easy it would be to implement again. It would be the same justification behind tieflings being able to be playable with all possible alignments: The presumption that demonic blood and influence has diminishing returns. IE: Gnolls born from consuming tainted carrion -- demonic gnolls -- would continue to be the near-mindless killing machines. But then when the demonic gnolls reproduce, their offspring -- the naturally born gnolls -- only inherit a fraction of the blood lust. And so on and so forth until, centuries later, we have gnolls that are no more prone to evil than the average tiefling and from whom a playable character can be gleaned.

Ill try this combo! Never playing a half elf or human though lol. Dragonborn, harngon, centaur maybe for this

do this and sub class monk and barbarian. peppino spagheti

I was playing a criminal roguish type Rabbit folk knife thrower that used this echo as a mute/Quiet brother to double up on the payment give out on jobs. Would also use it as a shell game if sorts where I would leave the room just to teleport into and exchange places with my echo so I could talk crap about myself or talk my self up as my brother. The best one I loved playing was Tig & Tog, "twin" Goblin sharp shooters. Tig had been Tog's brother in the past but died on a mission together. Tog could not handle it and wanted his brother back. Using his echo knight powers he will always have him with him. "Tig, Tig get over here. We have job. You stab I shoot. Yeah yeah. Stab good me shoot good. They die."

I dm for shadow of the dragon queen and the party is awesome. We have a autognome Chrono wizard, a halfling scout rogue, aarakocra drakewarden, a deep gnome dragon monk/barb and a dragonborn (disguised as a human) redemption paladin.

As a CoS DM, I'll tell you this: No, fuck you. Don't do this to your DM.
