It is known that the worst class-race combo in D&D 5e is Armourer Artificer with Tortle because tortles can't wear armour... HOWEVER, I say that since barding is simply armour for animals, it is a valid target for the Arcane Armour subclass feature as well as armour infusions and therefore Armourer Artificer/Moon Druid multiclass with Tortle is the best combo since it gives you the option of being an armoured bear. Nothing beats the awesomeness of being an armoured bear.

[@Nerdarchy]

Can't disagree with the awesomeness of an armored bear. -Nerdarchist Dave

This is a great new vibe! The Awesome Dave shirt on the Dave Goblin is awesome!

[@PartridgeQuill]

I agree. Dave is awesome, as is his shirt.

I am actually currently playing a rogue who is afraid of everything. He had a time where he went on a stealth mission and got caught by a semi big bad. So he just kept stabbing the guy while begging him to either be quiet or die. He then--covered in blood--runs into his former party member, who is on guard duty and says, "Please don't go that way. It will make you very angry." The two then go out for a drink and he gets away, scott free.

I always wanted to play a large sized thief or ninja. An ogre or a troll or something. I want to make a wizard character that pretends to be a fighter or a fighter that pretends to be a wizard, but actually hunts them.

[@PartridgeQuill]

That sounds like a really cool idea! Could also make for a good villain npc, I think.

[@MrFleem]

Modern D&D seems to be afraid of allowing large PCs. Minotaurs and centaurs are medium-sized now. Ridiculous.

[@supercuban3000]

My cousin played a loxodon thief named twinkle toes.

[@jediknight1294]

Stealth ogre just appearing and looming is HILARIOUS facts.

[@NRMRKL]

Bugbear?

[@PartridgeQuill]

Loving the new vibe!

[@colinflack4517]

Love this new style

[@Nerdarchy]

Thanks. Nerdarchist Dave

One character I never got around to playing was a Drow gigolo bard. He was from a guild of gigolo's that provides hot manly, but discreet, companionship to powerful Drow women. After some political shenanigans he was taking a very well timed and logical break to travel the world and learn how to please women of all races. He could sing, dance and charm as well as any bard but his speciality was bodybuilding and he'd cast spells by literally flexing at his target (think Alexander Armstrong from FMA).

[@TYOjoe]

my favorite character ive ever played was Schmebulock, the forest gnome illusion wizard. He had 14 strength and proficiency in athletics, and killed with his bare hands multiple times

[@PartridgeQuill]

Sounds perfect!

[@Nerdarchy]

A gnomes gotta do what a gnomes gotta do. Nerdarchist Dave

[@Argumedies]

I know a gnome bard that only speaks in bad dad jokes. Goes by the name Moaners Zengroners

[@tedadams9870]

I would to be in this game. Love me some D&D Dad jokes!

[@ftkinney]

This is hilarious!

[@kurtoogle4576]

Wow! This format is a lot of fun! I appreciate the work! Gotta share this!

[@Nerdarchy]

Glad you enjoy it! We are working the next one. -Nerdarchist Dave

[@xgameslashx]

I run a pathfinder game thats on hiatus. one of my players is a 3rd party race called gingerbread man, which is literally a living cookie construct. his class is the key to his madness; its a 3rd party class called Gourmand, which gives you an increasingly powerful bite attack. If you kill an enemy with damage from your bite or stomach acid you can gain attributes or magical abilities or gain new attacks from the dead. your stomach is an extradimenstional space that can do acid damage to enemies inside it. its hysterical watching this guy take down massive creatures or enemy characters in general and swallow them.

[@PartridgeQuill]

This is exactly the kind of character I would expect for this kind of video. You might've won the prize!

[@samuelteare8160]

I have a Loxodon Rogue, the elephant in the room, who is super sneaky but also very big and chunky.

[@PartridgeQuill]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@tedadams9870]

We have a Loxodon Rogue in our party as well. It can be a lot of fun when you can't see the Elephant in the room.

[@Nerdarchy]

We did this build awhile ago: D&D Character Builds: Loxodon Stealth Master kzbin.info/www/bejne/h568enZor9Otrdk -Nerdarchist Dave

[@ericksemones9681]

I did a halfling paladin once for Sunless Citadel. Those first two levels he struggles but once he hit level threw he was suddenly the main event!

[@PartridgeQuill]

Sounds like a hoot!

[@Nerdarchy]

The lightfoot halfling is great for a paladin. Nerdarchist Dave

[@lordkira9791]

FANTASTIC video!

[@kurtoogle4576]

Played a short Thri-Kreen engineer in a spacefaring game that couldn't stop yammering in Bug and eating all the wires.

[@okumabear]

My most "taboo" D&D character was probably my Firbolg Druid that I absolutely dumped all physical stats. 8 Con, 8 Dex, 8 Str.... Who dumps con? Right? Moon Druids....

[@zbuchholz10]

This was literally my first character ever lol, I loved it

[@williamtaylor6886]

Got a kobold wild magic Barbarian/rogue who thinks he’s a wizard, because that’s what others called him when he was a child because of the little magic he could do.

[@bastionsea2829]

This is the kind of stuff that 5th edition nerfed 3rd had more crazy options if you wanted to look

[@treed6038]

My illiterate Goliath barbarian became a wizard when he uncovered some rune-covered dragon's teeth that he uses as spells. It requires some cooperation from the DM to put more runed dragon teeth in his path as the story goes on, but it's been a blast. He's not as flexible as a traditional wizard, because he gets his spells the old fashioned way, by rolling on a random table rather than just picking them at he levels up. His 18 strength and 20 constitution make him very durable and give him a different kind of flexibility than most wizards have.

[@keithulhu]

I liked the format of this video. If you want to do more like this by all means.

[@Nerdarchy]

Glad you enjoyed it. We are working on our next one now. Next we'll do a character build. -Nerdarchist Dave

[@Karagianis]

I've played a Kobold artificer (armorer) basically a small Tony Stark! It's pretty funny defending people twice your size as the party tank! Also arcane powerarmour explains how the kobold is the strongest person in the party! :D

[@Nerdarchy]

I also played Kobold artificer when it was still UA. He was an arms dealer. Nerdarchist Dave

[@Anticitizen2501]

My last character was a rogue who feared the dark. 😂 I loved that guy. Nobody knew of his childhood trauma being lost in the underdark.

[@whiskeygamesnerdstuff789]

I enjoy creating unorthodox characters.

[@christopherbates2921]

I have a character I use for most 1 shots it's a kobold barbarian wields a maul chaotic good and ohhh and he thinks he's a dragonborn because he was raised by one

[@SammyNail]

Wanna scare the fuck outta your fellow players and maybe even your DM? Tell em you wanna roll for everything in character creation and use the old school stat system. Stats: 3d6, no re-rolls, placement is in order as you roll. Race: random number generator of 1-82 (if you goin based on all choices on D&D Beyond) or 1d10 for just PBD (10 is Human Variant) Class: 1-14 number generator for all of D&D Beyond or 1d12 Background: 1-97 number generator for all backgrounds on D&D Beyond I think you get the point. If ya DM lets you be fully crazy, roll a D20 for stats, no re-rolls.

[@Nerdarchy]

We used to use the d20 method. 1-3 was a 3 and 18-20 was a 18. -Nerdarchist Dave

[@zimattack9994]

I love makeing out of the box necromancer Like my necromancer orphanage patron there are some fd up undead made from children Or the dwarf Fabrication necromancer weith stone skeletons

[@MDPrepper]

Edgy.

[@ekashotersen]

Watching today and remembering that half-elves and half-orcs don't exist anymore for WotC... Laughing until 2030.
