Creating Uncle Iroh in D&D (Complete Guide)

[@troperhghar9898]

Breath of the dragon attack Iroh: did I ever tell you how I became "the dragon of the west" Azula: I'm not in the mood for a lengthy anecdote uncle Iroh: it's more of a demonstration really

[@Kokushibo789]

Let’s fu**** go love you man😭 uncle Iroh is my favorite character in all fiction and to see a way to actually be able to play as him, can’t put into words man😭😭 Dedication pays off kids

[@kameronsmith147]

Thank you for consistently requesting it so the rest of us can benefit. Consistency is key to many aspects of life. Uncle Iroh would approve.

[@dndbuilds]

Glad I could finally give you what you've been asking for

[@andrewpowers2249]

In Avatar tLA, each bending is based on an animal, and fire bending is based on dragons, so this is super fitting.

[@Froschemints]

Water benders be like: "We learned bending from the moon" "Nice! The moon has always been my favorite animal"

[@andrewpowers2249]

@@Froschemints You joke, but the moon is a fish, apparently.

[@marcelocapeljunior3579]

Uncle Iroh sure could have used that Purity of Body when he drank the white dragon flower tea. Guess he wasn't level 10 at the time.

[@devildogg061]

I have always been a huge fan of ATLAB, and Iroh specifically. This build fits perfectly for a very noble character.....well done, sir!

[@chainsomnia]

Yeah, iroh absolutely gets me teary every time I see old clips. As for the build, good stuff. Practically perfect

[@DParkerNunya]

1) how dare you put that song in the credits, I'm tearing up 2) I not it's not optimized, but I'd consider swapping the Dex and Wis improvements. Iroh doesn't fight as often as most of the other characters, but he's always reminding us that he's the wise old man. 3) great build, thank you

[@rcschmidt668]

Iroh is the best! Thanks for sharing this build.

[@Ringohulk777]

I feel like Elemental Adept would fit in that last feat

[@TonyFunsui]

Elemental Adept only affects "spells you cast..." But as a DM I'd rule otherwise.

[@Ringohulk777]

@@TonyFunsui gotcha. That makes sense

Music from leaves from a vine...damn you😢

I couldn't help myself

Uncle Iro has always been one of my favorites.

[@Potatoeknight3509]

You could reflavor the breath into the lightning thing if you do lightning damage

[@lordhades2495]

I would like to see a Toph build.

[@loganfrandrup6590]

Glad I got this on my recomended feed, and a new channle to enjoy Also, Acended Dragon for Iroh is so flavorful! 😊

[@Newmissingnoshorn]

Why are you playing leaves from the vine at the end 😭😭😭. I love it.

[@dndbuilds]

@@Newmissingnoshorn just to share the emotional damage I went through when getting clips for this video lol

[@Ravioli_D]

Didn’t know I needed this til today

[@AJUniverse]

The problem with building Iroh is that he's a character at the end of his arc, mostly. He's wise because he has already become wise through experience. He definitely didn't start that way, so his initial stats should reflect that with wisdom that's actually pretty low. Which I guess is kind of reflected here, but I would've started even lower. He also didn't learn lightning bending until he grew wise enough to appreciate other bending styles, so he shouldn't have lightning damage so early.

[@TheLublume]

The point isn't to recreate his story, is to create the character as we see in ATLA.

[@TheLublume]

Thought you would drop monk to get some draconic sorcerer, to expand on the firebending aspect

[@ChanceRandom]

Yep, every time.

[@raarasunai4896]

This is incredibly fitting for the wise old man ^_^

[@alanarnedo6663]

How about Daenerys Targaryen? Goal: Control 3 Dragons in combat Variant Human - Feat: Inspiring Leader (low CON means you need the extra hp, and you can boost your dragons) STATS: STR 8, DEX 14, CON 10, INT 8, CHA 15 (+1), WIS 15 (+1) Start with Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer because it makes the most sense thematically, you'll want the metamagic later, and CON saves are good. Then go into Drakewarden Ranger (using all of Tashas optionals). I'd go to level 7 to get Bond of Fang and Scale Next go into Bard. I like Lore bard for this for the Additional Magical Secrets to grab Fireball and maybe Warding Bond. Go to level 10 to get Magical Secrets and grab Find Greater Steed (pick the Dragonnel if DM allows or just reflavor the Griffon), and Summon Draconic Spirit. Finish with Sorcerer to get Quickened Spell and Twinned Spell. It should looks like this: 3 Levels Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer, 7 Levels Drakewarden Ranger, 10 Levels Lore Bard. Now you have your Dragonnel as your steed, your Drake Companion to command with your Bonus Action, and your summoned Draconic Spirit to act on it's own. All three of which you can give 25 extra HP with inspiring leader, and give them Bardic Inspiration. You're now the Mother of Dragons.

[@dokuro4316]

ah yes, my favorite race: FIRE GHENAZI! (joke aside very goated build)

[@dndbuilds]

I knew someone would call me in that one lol

[@VitoWolf-me3tq]

I’ve never see anyone try to do a Ty Lee build in D&D. Could you?

[@honeybunnyhanni1931]

Totally forgot about the martial arts in Avatar. I would have build Iroh as an Oath of the Ancients Paladin multiclassed with Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer and the Soldier Background

[@Potatoeknight3509]

Can you do frank horrigan

[@JohnDoe-rp7mf]

I want to see an Etrigan/Jason Blood build please

[@jrodruiz]

Can you do Beast Boy (Teen Titans) for DND??

[@ShadowFred386]

Time for the suggestion again, of Cid Kagenou/Shadow from the eminence in shadow!

[@DaileyDoseOfJoseph]

My Cleric died last session, so I'm getting a new character who's starting at level 5 for next session. I'm taking this guide and we'll see if I pull it off well enough that they notice. Lol

[@sullivantwiss1954]

Iroh is best uncle

[@RocRolWriter]

I think I've figured out how to play Akito from Ghostwire Tokyo (or at least a similar character), but I'd still like to see your take on it.

[@miket3827]

I was working on building uncle iroh earlier this week actually. Mind if I steal some of this? And I was debating on either four elements or ascendant dragon. I built on for each just to be sure I got it right

[@reganclark5626]

Agree for the most part but.. 8 strength? Are we just gonna gloss over Iroh getting absolutely jacked?

[@Devlerbat]

He can't make all the ability scores good and strength isn't needed for the build.

[@trashbair4285]

Are you able to do a sweet tooth build? (Twisted metal killer clown)

[@sammyomamma3766]

I better get some good rolls tonight…

[@ronsorage78]

its funny that way of AD makes a better avatar character than the subclass made to do it lol.

[@mylife199212]

Could you maybe do a vid on Delsin Rowe from inFamous? Though now I am curious about more Avvatar characters...

[@billmcdonald5063]

Please do the Highlander. There Can be only one

[@absolutleynotanalien8096]

Is there any way to become a force ghost or something similar?

[@hamishbfolliott6600]

Bit of a strange suggestion, but how would you build Stitch (from Lilo and Stitch) in DnD?

[@kristopherthomas8387]

Can you do the prowler

[@unequaltrex3766]

Can you build Talion from the shadow of mordor games?

[@vodkalord6941]

Id like to sugggest Dante from devil may cry showcasing his 4 styles at the same time

[@skipmage]

Have a problem with you deciding that being a member of the White Lotus is his background. Iroh USED to be a soldier, a prince, a folk hero, even a wanderer. Iroh currently IS a member of the White Lotus, an order of monks dedicated to peace. The White Lotus isn't a background, it's his current Monk subclass; it forms a central part of his motivations and Identity. I don't know how this would be represented in game, but I figure re-flavouring another peace focused order. I believe there are backgrounds for all the former life backgrounds Iroh has let go in becoming more at peace with the world and his place in it. If this decision was made purely for crunch please note that.

[@gunzstrong3491]

So yeah this might be crazy to say but could you make a build about Solider Boy from “the boys”

[@Tbren24]

Can we please get Escanor, The Lion Sin of Pride from Seven Deadly Sins
