How to Play Amazo in Dungeons & Dragons (DC Comics Build for D&D 5e)

[@ms.moronic9165]

Fun fact: in Amazo's earliest appearance, he couldn't copy Superman's powers due to the Blue Boy Scout just being too strong. This limitation has since been removed.

[@SerathDarklands]

Neat.

[@thegreatandterrible4508]

Considering the one we're seeing the videos of basically became Dr. Manhattan, I get that

[@jacobw618]

I just watched Justice League Animated recently and I felt pain like no other when Amazo asked 'Where’s Doctor Ivo?' The dude was basically a child, with literally no concept on death or anything else like that. And then at the end of the episode homie became an omnipotent being pretty much when he scanned Martian Manhunter. That show’s fucking wild. I love it, but it’s fucking wild

[@jimmymiller1313]

I justrewatched that episode, too! Also the one in Young Justice!

"Using telekinesis right next to yourself and calling it superstrength" is literally Superboy's power from the comics

No, the opposite. Its touchrange telekenisis

[@iceheadn]

isn't it a superman's thing too? I remember the explanation about how he can lift planes and build without breaking them apart being literally because of touch range telekinesis

[@KRIOSthe5th]

@iceheadn no, thats just Superboy. Superman uses his super brain to make an infinite number of calculations to know exactly where to hold and how much pressure to use

Class? Divine Soul Sorcerer instead of Wizard, race? Custom Lineage with the Strixhaven feat for +2Con/+1Cha to mirror Amazo’s +2Con/+1Int

[@christianboehlefeld5168]

There's a great issue of the Justice League comic where Amazo has the powers of the Justice League, they keep sending more reservists after him which just lets him copy more powers. The B-plot was recruiting Ray Palmer back into the League and he had the brilliant idea to disband the League, which stripped Amazo of all powers as that iteration only had the powers of the Justice League and not the ability to copy the powers of individual heroes. So really bad writing as he was mostly hitting and there was such a ludicrous exploit to depower him.

[@forest470]

Now I want a storyline where Amazo copies the question and gets his paranóia. Just sits there calculating all the world's conspiracy theories.

[@Morathor]

Heck of a build. Delivers on the premise of DO EVERYTHING.

You say you can make a D&D version of any character? Challenge accepted: My favorite character is Oracle, the wheelchair-using superhero hacker from DC comics. She‘s got an ultralight manual ‘chair like mine, so no room for tech to fire missiles or fly around the battlefield like Professor X’s hoverchair. She can hack anything and typically stays out of the fight herself, but when necessary is skilled in escrima stick fighting, ‘cus it relies on speed and upper body strength. Have fun! 😁

[@ghostsurfer23]

I was enamored with the anime That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime when it came out, and really wanted to replicate the main character's power of being able to just sort of harvest abilities from the enemies he defeats. Just, y'know, not broken as all hell. I made a homebrew sorcerous origin for Doppelgangers. The write-up I gave it: At 6th level, your body can adapt to the foes you slay with your magic. Once per long rest, when you kill an enemy with a spell, roll a D20 and divide the result in half. If you beat the creature’s CR, you can add one of its racial traits to a pool on your character sheet. Legendary actions and resistances, as well as the Doppelganger’s shapechanger ability, are exempt from this, and you can’t have an ability more than once. You can have access to a number of these abilities at any given time equal to your proficiency bonus, and can change which abilities you have from your pool every long rest. Passive abilities, such as darkvision, that you have access to are always active until you lose consciousness for any reason. Using non-passive abilities, as well as reactivating passive ones, requires two sorcery points. You cannot take spells, but spell-like magical abilities are acceptable. Any abilities that require a specific weapon or item cannot be taken. I think it's pretty balanced, but I have yet to have someone playtest it. At level 18 you don't have to halve the D20 roll, so you get access to stronger stuff, but there's further limitations on more advanced abilities to keep it from being abused. When I saw this video I was kinda hoping someone with more experience was doing this concept so I could compare notes, but ahh well.

[@dementedlemming9746]

Not bad any 1st lvl ability

[@ghostsurfer23]

@@dementedlemming9746 Yeah, two. Devious Charisma - You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed starting at 1st level. Additionally, any Deception check made in regards to your identity is made with advantage. Piece of Mind- Your body resonates on the same level as others, and your mind is no different. At 1st level, as a bonus action you can speak with one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. You and this creature need not share a language to understand one another, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language, and a lack of a shared language limits the complexity of ideas that can be exchanged. This effect lasts for one minute. Once it ends, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

[@dementedlemming9746]

I like it. I am currently playing in a that time I got reincarned as a slime campaign. We are all reincarnated. I am playing as a pyromancer Goliath who is scared of fire you heard me right (died by saving orphans from a burning building that i probably started). Having lots of fun but never watched the show.

[@porkchopsensei2742]

I just read through the Shapechange spell, and it explicitly states that you transform into the average version of the given creature, which means no spellcasting or any class levels. Am I missing something? It seems like this fundamentally undoes the most important part of this build. Is it supposed to be True Polymorph?

[@szayelapporograntz3276]

The fourth paragraph of Shapechange: "You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them, provided that your new form is physically capable of doing so. You can't use any special senses you have (for example, darkvision) unless your new form also has that sense. You can only speak if the creature can normally speak." True Polymorph locks all your features and spellcasting but can become permanent, Shapechange lets you use everything your base form has while changing around your Resistances/Immunities every turn, but has a time limit.
