How to build the FLASH in Dungeons & Dragons and become the Fastest Man Alive

[@andrewpowers2249]

"I'm not going to focus on the background or the stats because we have a lot of stuff to cover." You missed a great pun opportunity right in the beginning, "because we have a lot of GROUND to cover..." because he runs across a lot of ground very fast....

[@darkspinspard4258]

You know what... That's totally fair.

[@skycr7059]

Now that you've covered the Flash you are almost done with the entire Justice League. I'd love to see your take on Aquaman.

[@timjackson9334]

Great! I now have a base to work on my Gauss Warframe build. A warforged speedster. And Volt, a lightning based warframe. Volt can't be as fast as Gauss. But sacrifice a speed for lightning powers, it can work.

[@ThatGauss]

Yup, ember is just a wizard with fireball, rhino is a barbarian fighter and loki is an arcane trickster

[@timjackson9334]

@@ThatGauss Rhino is a Bear Totem Barbarian, with Thunderwave. Excalibur is a Champion with Green Flameblade, Sword Burst, and Color Spray.

[@monts0447]

How did you made it? Im interested in making a warforged speedster but i also dont want to be useless for 90% of the campaign

[@sasjhwa]

When you break the sound barrier do you take thunder damage? You start running and a red mist crosses the finish line! LOL!

[@troperhghar9898]

Idea: artificer subclass all about building and suping up a vehicle including speed

[@ThespianDevil]

Ork-Maxxing

[@troperhghar9898]

@ThespianDevil and around level 11 your vehicle can gain a fly speed so you can get "DA RED SUNS BLASTTA BOMMA"

[@morganpetros9635]

The bard levels are essentially wasted since the results of the Spirits bard storytelling are completely random.

[@jasonbell8515]

I'd grab more wizard for haste. It's a better longstrider (doubled speed) that gives you ANOTHER dash.

[@devildogg061]

Here's one: Ruroni Kenshin from Samurai X: is he a kensai monk with specialty in longsword or a fighter that is a duelist specialist? I know as a kensai you can use missle weapons, but I would like to see your take on it

[@DelayedLaunch]

Totally! I think Kenshin Himura makes for a great Swashbuckler Rogue, probably with some fighter levels for extra attack, hard not to go Samurai subclass… Makes me want to homebrew a reverse-blade katana, maybe something that only deals 1d4+ dex, except on a 19 or 20 it deals 1d10+1+dex… would take some work, but I think with Samurai Fighting Spirit giving you advantage on all attacks, giving you a better chance at the high rolls, plus the Swashbuckler Rakish Audacity giving you sneak attack damage reliably when you’re only hitting for 1d4… It sounds fun!

[@Floppy162]

What does the DM do if you never attack but end your turn like: i build all this speed in a turn and let go of a ballbearing infront of the BBEG. Technicaly no attack has happend. But if you'd use something like the falldmg rule to see how hard it would hit, im sure noone can withstand all these D4's.

[@theultimatesvengali4430]

fall damage caps at a certain point (20d10 I think)

[@Theinstrument_Mayonaise]

@@theultimatesvengali4430yeah but that’s because gravity can only pull you down so fast (maximum velocity) if your running faster than gravity exerts then I would say you keep adding dice

[@theultimatesvengali4430]

@@Theinstrument_Mayonaise if 20d10 is the max dmg for gravity then DM can just use their judgement to decide how much faster than gravity the player is travelling. e.g., twice as fast? 40d10 damage

[@agentchaos9332]

*Homebrews Black Racer * Uses these numbers as a baseline for how fast he should be

[@billmcdonald5063]

This is so insanely cool

[@bubbadoo1267]

Please do either Ratchet & Clank and/or Rivet & Kit from the Ratchet & Clank games. They'd probably be Tabaxi Artificers, but other than that, I don't know.

[@aasnnithiamhuanok4389]

wait how much damage would that character do with that much speed

[@dndbuilds]

Lol, not much, this build is such a weird niche for speed but lacking in almost anything else.

[@aasnnithiamhuanok4389]

@@dndbuilds I never played d&d so i don't know much about it, but just like how after you have certain dexterity you can use charisma as a strength is it not possible to use speed as strength to cause some damage since something moving at that much speed can do a lot of damage even with a small impact from their body

[@Kurooganeko]

What would a equip based power be like in DnD? I was thinking of Erza Scarlet from fairy Tail and how she has different powers based on what she is wearing. It would be anice reference for creating a fashion based character, that works like her, but instead of armor just different clothing

[@HoweHomie]

I guess an artificer / wizard multiclass would be the first Thing that comes to mind. Also a hexblade warlock (multiclass) would Cover the abilities

[@vennom14]

Dude, that's awesome

[@patdav56]

i know its a bit late, but im curious about what an Archer (Fate/Stay Night) build would look like Skip this next part if you want, just me talking about personal build, but please do your own thing if you want to do it at all! I had a kinda dumb idea of making him a Genie warlock that doesnt take the wish spell (never gets the grail, but does wish to be a hero). Bladelock of course, use EB for basic arrows, and spells and Limited Wish to emulate the weapons and shields from Unlimited Blade Works projection magic, Demiplane and Plane Shift/Banishment for the reality marble itself, etc.. add on Foresight spell for his Mind's Eye (True) skill, and 3 levels of Eldritch Knight Fighter to double up on summoning swords to get both at once, and i feel i got pretty accurate

[@yaroslavart678]

Classic Dovahkiin with shouts and horn helmet please.

[@NotYourAverageNothing]

1. Having an ally cast Dissonant Whispers on you instead will let you use your full movement speed for your reaction instead of half. 2. You’re missing a trick using Metamagic Adept (you’ll also need a single level in Sorcerer). When you deal damage to an enemy with Ashardalon’s Stride, you can use Empowered Spell on it. If you’re attuned to and wearing a Feywild Shard, this lets you roll on the Wild Magic Surge table. Roll and 81 or 82 and you get an additional action to dash again.

[@gw1357]

LOL this was great...very clever!

[@majinsole8554]

I’m curious to see someone play this to see if they can make it fairly functional beyond speed 🤔 ~_~

[@piranhaplantX]

This build specifically? Not really, it's mostly just a hypothetical build challenge rather than a practical one. Even if you could pull it off, it takes a lot of investment and DM buy-in for something that doesn't really give much benefit. If you want a more practical speedster, you actually go just bladesinger wizard for 6 levels. Tabaxi for feline agility, pick up the mobile feat at level 4, pick longstrider as a 1st level spell, and Ashardalons stride as a 3rd level spell. So it comes online at 5th level (basically when Wizard itself comes online) You can do Kinetic Jaunt as a 2nd level spell to be a decent hit and run character, as well as pick-up misty step for those moments where you get stuck somewhere. But when it comes online. 30 + 10 (mobile) + 10 (bladesong) 10 (longstrider) + 20 (Ashardalons) = 80 ft, with the ability to double it to 160 ft movement. So just multiply that to 320 if you want to dash. This is without an absurd amount of multiclassing, only one ASI investment, and can be done without magic items or team members sacrificing their resources or builds to do it. It also does damage to enemies you run by, and functionally acts as an AOE for every enemy your trail touches (as well as catching objects on fire for some spice) The best part? You're still a functional wizard, and can otherwise build a normal bladesinger/wizard from here on out, and just upcast Ashardolon's stride as you go up. It also goes well with booming blade hit and run tactics. Not to mention, each addition to your base speed makes it easier to make the most of Ashardolon's as an AOE damage spell. For multiclassing, you could go rogue 2 for resource-free BA dashing, fighter 2 for fighting style (dueling) plus action surge. Wouldn't recommend more than that, and would suggest not multiclassing at all.

[@Deathfromkouga2]

Just curious flash hulk could be interesting to do? If you could you take an exception for that type of character for your videos? 😁 Flash hulk sounds amazing 😁lol

[@benjaminboudreau2675]

Thanks for using a different photo of The Flash for your thumbnail

[@dndbuilds]

Just trying a few variations

[@benjaminboudreau2675]

@@dndbuilds as long it ain't Ezra Miller I'm cool with it

[@matthewharding584]

Aren’t you doubling your speed incorrectly? If I have 30ft and dash, I have 60. Which means, if I dash again, I now have 120ft. That seems to be the consensus on how that works

[@dndbuilds]

Dashing just uses your movements speed, so if you have 30 feet of movement, and you use your action to dash that becomes 60 ft in total, and then if you want to use your movement again to dash as a bonus action or something, that's just another 30 feet of movement

[@awoo5796]

A player on my game wants to go with a speed build, and I'm not gonna stop him from doing it, I said completely useless to get more movement speed in a combat but then he suggested he can just ram with his body into the target, I said he would also take damage and he said he wouldn't care How much damage should it deal?

[@dndbuilds]

If you want to go that route, I would recommend that every 10 ft over a normal amount of speed, starts doing damage similar to fall damage

[@awoo5796]

@@dndbuilds fall damage has a cap of 20d6, should this also have the same cap? Because otherwise I feel he'll gain the ability to sacrifice himself to one shot one boss at any time

@@awoo5796 I mean it is kind of a non-existent role so you can kind of do whatever you want with it lol

[@SirYacob]

I have a question. Obviously this is just for fun, and no real DM would allow the insane items to help you break the sound barrier, but is this actually true RAW? I feel like certain things might have been stacked even if they couldn’t stack RAW. If it is all on the up and up that’s insane, obviously totally useless, but insane all the same

[@dndbuilds]

Totally agree if you played this character it would be essentially useless, but it is entirely raw

[@SirYacob]

@@dndbuilds that’s wild.

[@longinchoflove916]

could this work w/' pathfinder 1?

[@kazumakanogi6759]

Only critique would be to take thief for second bonus action dash instead of scout reaction

[@dndbuilds]

That only exists in Baldur's Gate, having a second bonus action doesn't happen in normal 5th edition d&d

I have a suggestion for you can you do toji fushiguro from jujutsu kaisen please

[@kaijutrainer2913]

Ahaha, damn :D Thats insane :D

[@TheDeletedFile]

Awesome now what can I do with all this speed

[@D3rr0r]

nothing, maybe you can grapple an enemy and throw them off a mountain or something

[@sykune]

Take the charge feat and convince your dm that because your moving the so fast you do extra damage based on some formula that takes you maximum speed and divides by some number and results so many d4 to d6 worth of damage. You would divide the maximum speed by 100 hundred. Which comes out to 84.3 of damage which might be 12d8s but they still have to hit the target,

[@H.B.D888]

Can you build sakata gintoki from gintama in dnd? Please 🥺🙏

[@Supreme-AMVs]

Why’s the thumbnail different now ?

[@williamhunt1389]

see I'm just wondering how useful this build would be in game, other then running away????

[@D3rr0r]

it would be one of the weakest builds ever, but you could use one of the actions to grapple an enemy and throw them into lava or something

[@piranhaplantX]

This, and most builds like it, are mostly just what-if builds that won't typically be useful in actual play. Thankfully it's pretty easy to build a speedy character with a much more practical build.

[@ericpeterson8732]

I don't like the gloomstalker levels. Not thematic at all. And I'm not happy with the psi warrior sub class levels. I understand your thinking but it's a weird build.

[@Spooder_0903]

Ben 10 wud be cool in DND

[@setarcos42]

Over 3 1/2 miles in 6 seconds lmao but what are you going to do with it???

[@dndbuilds]

Oh yeah it's usefulness is pretty ridiculously low, unless you just want to run to the nearest town and get the guards to help you in a combat lol then run back and let the rest of the party know that help is on its way even if it takes them like 20 turns to get there

[@Razalonjrt1]

So your superfast but cannot hit much hmm that not so good and how can that all help the party other then you getting reinforcments to come. How would you build Raiden from Mortal Kombat and how much differnet would he be from Thor?

[@Ubermensch9240]

A good example of being too vague.
