You can play as DANTE from DEVIL MAY CRY in Dungeons & Dragons

[@dndbuilds]

So one pretty big mistake, is that rules as written state that Eldritch smite can only be used once per turn. However many tables allow for it to be on every attack, functioning exactly the same as divine smite, seems a little strange that they wouldn't function the same. Either way just wanted to call that out, since somebody did mention it in the comments

[@truekurayami]

A variation I'm curious to see would be using the increased level cap of "Beyond Epic" to make a lvl40 version with the camparable point of this build reflecting DMC3 Dante's first adventure for the lvl 20 cap with DMC5 Dante for the lvl 40 as the end of his story.

[@HoweHomie]

I like this adaption of Dante! It really fits the gameplay of devil may cry 😁 What Do you think about a general build for an "extreme dinosaur" character template? 😁

[@aquamarinerose5405]

I would personally suggest Fallen Aasimar over Tiefling, since their super form is a pretty good devil trigger

[@thatlonewolfguy2878]

I would honestly go warlock/fighter for this, action surge just screams Dante with how quick he is with chaining attacks together, that kinda thing, plus you're a very melee focused class so taking a fighting style like great weapon fighting or two weapon fighting fits both thematically and gives us a chance at more damage, second wind is just incredible for a build like this too so its a no brainer imo, Battle Master works thematically for Dante as well and fits his melee profile nicely and allows us to pull off some cool moves from the games, or Samurai is nice for advantage on weapon attacks and the 5 temp HP, I think Warlock falls off heavily after like 7th level anyway so if we were doing a 10th level build we've gotta take minimum 2 levels of Fighter, probably 3 and I would honestly go Pact of the Blade instead of Hexblade since Dante doesn't really use curses etc, it doesn't fit how he fights so I think the Pact of the Blade Warlock/Battle Master or Samurai Fighter works a lot better for this build

[@truekurayami]

Warlock/Fighter or Monk/Sorcerer seem the best fights withing the basic lvl 20 cap for some kind of Dante character I'm just not sure what would be the best options if you were to use the "Beyond Epic" rule expansion for going over lvl 20 but leaving the final point still somewhat reasonable at lvl 40 for the campaign's hard cap.

[@rookie2128]

for a possible future nero build id highly recommend a bladesinger/battlemaster combination, with the right spell reflavoring and setup its an incredibly fun, effective and character vibe fitting build

With the Blade of Disaster combo wouldn't you have 4 spell slots available since Blade of Disaster takes your Mystic Arcanum to cast not a spell slot, so you could Eldritch Smite on all 4 attacks since Warlocks have 4 spell slots at 17th level

[@dndbuilds]

Holy balls, I think you're right, that would boost up the damage a lot, and no one has caught that before... That's some epic damage to add on

[@hunkgg7856]

Hex Warrior says the following Whenever you finish a long rest, you may touch a weapon with which you are proficient, and that weapon does not have two hands. How are you using a great sword? Will the Pact Boon of the Pact of the Blade allow exchange?

[@dndbuilds]

Because it also automatically applies to anything regarding pact of the blade, which is separate from the concept of it applying to just a non two-handed weapon, so if you can summon a two-handed weapon that is also a pact of the blade it will apply to it

For the battle-master dip. Tripping Attack, Pushing Attack, Goading Attack, Sweeping Attack. All of them are pretty in character for Dante. Goading Attack: Talking shit, as per usual. Sweeping Attack: A lot of his swings cleave through a lot of enemies. Tripping Attack: Knock someone on their ass for the combo, seems fitting. Pushing Attack: Just says 10 feet away. Shove someone 10 feet up and then jump up to combo them in the air. If that's not in character, nothing is.

At this point, simply for ultimate flavor, I would allow to change the form of your weapon as a bonus action (once you have it summoned).

i dont really see the point on trying to rely on light or mage armor when a half plate will give us way better AC anywany. Stealth penalty doesnt sound like something Dante would care for and one can always just reflavor their half plate to look like a coat.

[@NotRealAkira]

This isn't really the most optimal this build could be (medium armor could easily be reflavored) and paladins don't really need to be goody-two-shoes in 5e RAW, but it's not bad. There's probably some better build options as well for level spread, but I'd say it's a good start

I'd like to see a build of Fran from Reincarnated as a Sword. The Black Lightning Princess needs some love.

[@ydraid]

i think it would be quite the same of this build, but you play a tabaxi instead of a tiefling

[@AndreasNicklasson]

@@ydraid Should be a little different. Teacher is technically a longsword, not a greatsword (Fran is just tiny) and since she became known as a "saint" due to her liberal use of healing magic, going Paladin instead of Fighter at the end seems more appropriate. And then there's the question of how to get Jet/Urushi. Using Find Greater Steed to get a dire wolf require you to be a 13th level Paladin for the 4th level spell slot, so Conjure Fey (6th level Warlock spell) is probably the better option. Wouldn't get all of his abilities, to say nothing about him going hostile if you lose concentration, but what can you do? Of course, just dipping into Hexblade Warlock and putting the rest into Sorcerer is another build option. Divine Soul Sorcerer gives you access to those Cleric spells, Lunar Sorcerer has a bunch of extra spells and Shadow Sorcerer has Hound of Ill Omen but the latter two might require triple classing into Paladin for healing spells. Either way, Fey Touched is a great feat to take, given how often Fran teleports around.

[@dndbuilds]

Yeah mostly using magic to replicate the general abilities he uses

[@truekurayami]

Magic could also be used as a reasonable substitue for how Dante can still have his guns in a setting that otherwise bans them, as then you just have a "gun shaped" spell focus and replaced bullets with spells.

[@andrewpowers2249]

Why don't warlocks have a mount? Even if it was a mystic arcanum that they could only summon once per day? Maybe WoW spoiled me, but I was going to say "Couldn't he have a dreadsteed and reflavor it as his motorcyle?" No...that's not a DnD thing...just WoW. Wizards get a phantom steed, pallies get their summon steed, but that's it. Dang.

[@truekurayami]

As a base mechanic I think it has more to deal with the consistency of a Warlock's Patron. Wizards with Phantom Steed make a consistance sense as a phantasmal creation, and Paladins are consistently "holy" knights which would have trained as Calvary is most societies, but since a Warlock's Patron can basically be any supernatural entity as basic as a fiend or unusual as your Cleric teammate's God, ya it poses a problem. That said a GM/DM can homebrew that feature where it makes sense for a Patron to have some kind of mount available for Warlocks of a certain value to them or allow an existing mount be brought into the contract for the Warlock to use.
