Build and Play Spider-Man in Dungeons and Dragons 5e

[@gabrielmarques5257]

This build is so awesome but you chose sleight of hand skill 2 times in the background and multiclassing into rogue

[@cmccbuilds8229]

Good catch! Checked my notes: it’s supposed to be Deception for the rogue proficiency for the ability to hide your identity and secret life from even those closest to you.

The vampiric bite ability is actually fine if you want to go for a Miles Morales build. Just reskin it as a weak version of your venom shock, and just describe it as a powerful hit instead of a bite.

[@amazingfan15]

it would fit better into Miguel O'Hara (Spider-Man 2099), since he actually has fangs

[@philswiftdestroyerofworlds1988]

@@amazingfan15 So glad you mentioned this, was just looking for a SM 2099 mention lmao

[@Synetik]

I was really expecting the gwen stacy scene when you were talking about feather fall lol

[@chrimedina]

YOU are amazing CMCC Builds!! I never thought possible considering the lack of spells for the webb laucher.

[@feralart]

I see going high INT and dipping into an artillerist artificer for a pair of wrist mounted tiny cannons. The force blast is a web ball, and the defense mode is a web shield that offers temp HP.

[@cmccbuilds8229]

The other Spider-Man build goes artificer

[@kenmcclain1499]

Thanks!

[@xvader9445]

Genius!!! However, I would have grabbed the Telekinetic feat for a Web Punch

[@shirak8]

He should use a net as a weapon especially at low lv.

[@cmccbuilds8229]

Eh. Don’t love the mechanics of a net. It’s ok I guess if you don’t have other options

[@mikemanalo3999]

Nicely done!

Being able to use unarmed strikes with dexterity as exclusively a monk thing is annoying for making this build work. Mechanically speaking it wouldn't break the immersion for monk players if other classes could make unarmed strikes with dex because they still get to make a second attack as a bonus action or use flurry of blows for a ki point, and it would allow you to trim some of the fat from the build overall and have more focused ASI placement. Yeah he has to wear armor now but it's also not out of the realm of possibility that his suit is made of advanced materials that softens some of the hits he takes on top of his already heightened durability if you need a flavor explanation for it. That also leaves room for your DM to homebrew you up some suits as cool magic items instead of having to rebuild the character to mimic different suit abilities. The iron spider suit could be heavy armor without the disadvantage on stealth checks and have some cool abilities he can do with the arms The venom symbiote could be neutral evil sentient medium armor that you can't willingly unattune from unless you take a certain amount of fire or thunder damage and succeed on a DC 17 strength save. It gives you a bonus to your strength and dex saves as well as your unarmed attack and damage rolls, grants you some extra spell slots, allows you to cast disguise self at will expect it only changes your clothes and belongings and ignores all the crap about it being an illusion you can see through, and it literally eats all the wearable magic items you attune to and gains their abilities as well to simulate the symbiote stealing all of Spiderman's abilities and bestowing them on any of the other people it bonded with after the fact. I can already imagine the BBEG getting ahold of the suit if the player decides it's for the best to get rid of it and granting them a shit ton of extra stuff they can do. Throwing a player's own abilities back at them in a mechanically satisfying way can really add a lot of tension to an encounter and make them have to think outside the box. The possibilities are endless

[@cmccbuilds8229]

I did an iron spider armor build too :)

[@gabrielmarques5257]

Do you take suggestions? What about a Batman Build?

[@cmccbuilds8229]

The Batman is coming out in March, which would be a good time for that build ;)

[@zacharymcclanahan2497]

Maybe I missed something but none of those classes allow you to have the web spell?

[@cmccbuilds8229]

Swarmkeeper

[@zacharymcclanahan2497]

Yeah I saw that in the book after I asked the question, Dnd beyond didn’t have it listed for me

[@gabrielmarques5257]

Will you post part 2 today?

[@cmccbuilds8229]

Most likely Wednesday. I’m editing now.

[@XLSpiritSoup]

Miguel would have been a much better option

[@cmccbuilds8229]

?

[@XLSpiritSoup]

@@cmccbuilds8229 it’s because he has a bite talons etc just kinda fits vampire more while still being Spider-Man

[@gabrielmarques5257]

FIRST!!!
