How to Play Faye Valentine and Spike Spiegel in Dungeons & Dragons (Cowboy Bebop Builds for D&D 5e)

[@neurotypicaljotchua8726]

The best protagonists to be in anime ever had to be the best way to end off this month, thank you so much for all the hard work you put into this month and your channel as a whole

[@uberchops]

You're wrong, Tulok. If I said we were "building Spike Spiegel and Faye Valentine, two cowboys on the Bebop" my grandparents would have assumed I was trying to introduce them to new jazz musicians and roasted me for misusing their generations' slang.

[@leonardgreen4248]

God this month has honestly been such a gift such a wide range of characters from a lot of different forms of media. Amazing job get some Rest!

[@piercedanae919]

This was the duo I was waiting for the most, what a great way to end off the year. See you space cowboy

[@Tyyaash]

*Bang

[@Kuro3k]

Awesome. And it's also a good reminder that not all characters could fit in any scenario. Those, for example, are incredible in a sceneario full of humanoids and social interactions, with occasional fights and so on.

[@Dijeouni]

Tasha's truly blessed gun monks everywhere with the dedicated weapon feature. Most of the Korean mmo's I played growing up always had a gunner style class alongside the standard fantasy tropes so I always appreciate seeing them in D&D.

[@NobodyDungeons]

Fun fact monks using guns is actually historically accurate. The monks that fended off Oda Nobunaga used guns according to history if I am correct.

[@AwesomeWookiee]

"according to history" But yeah, you're right.

[@NobodyDungeons]

@@AwesomeWookiee yeah grammar is something I save for when I actually need it.

[@mason-.]

Not that closely related to the vid, but I recently saw Mason Alexander Park, the voice actors for Gren on the Netflix series of Cowboy Bebop, in a performance of the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch. They were Hedwig and did a fucking amazing job and I just wanted to bring it up :)

[@aetherspiralknight]

Noice.

[@aaronsirkman8375]

I legit said "Noice", as well. Hedwig is an awesome show.

[@heltech3068]

I love the analogy you made at the start of the Spike section. Fighters are potatoes because they're a staple that everyone loves. Monks are onions because they're a lovely addition to a meal/party, but some people don't like them for whatever reason

[@Shalakor]

Potatoes are good almost no matter what you do with them, but it's easy to mess up preparing an onion. ...At least, comparatively.

[@kylewright8209]

My table is starting a new campaign next month, after our last one wrapped a couple months back. One of my players told me directly that his new character is inspired, in personality if not in mechanics, by Spike. So, I spent all month watching Cowboy Bebop for the very first time, and what should show up right after I finish but this video? Thanks for the great video, thanks for a month of incredible videos, and thanks for one of my favorite KZbin channels. I hope you have a happy new year

[@LemonMoon]

Dnd videos always seem to pop up when you need them most

[@92FRF1]

Is the build fit well in your campaign and is the charcater was enough powerful?

[@kylewright8209]

@@92FRF1 My player didn’t follow this build to the letter. He’s a dragonborn, but is otherwise pretty similar. I feel like he feels powerful enough, and the mood of the character is right for the game.

[@kapmando]

I cannot believe you just did 62 characters in a month. You mad genius

[@alexszabo8010]

That Spike build would be awesome for Vash the Stampede from Trigun as well! Thanks Tulok/Phil!

[@KevinVideo]

This anime is definitely beautiful, and the opening theme still hits the soul hard.

[@toryniemann5124]

“You like jazz?” That juxtaposition made my New Years Eve.

[@StinkerTheFirst]

I remember Ah! Real Monsters, and I was not expecting to see it referenced here. Your references can be really wild, and yet they always work. Amazing. What's even more amazing is how you pulled off another month of daily vids. That kind of output without a drop in quality is impressive. I hope you're taking it easy now that December is over.

[@ThreeOttersInATrenchcoat]

Pretty sure Beta Max is that inflatable robot from Big Hero 6. Happy New Year and congrats on a whole month of double builds!

[@lucasm.3864]

This was an amazing month. Despite everything, I appreciate the amount of effort this must have taken.

[@Mulletdog1]

The only way I could think of doing this is doing like a few extra each month leading up to December lol

[@lucasm.3864]

@@Mulletdog1 Unfortunately these videos got horrible view counts, so there probably won’t be too many more of them. That really sucks.

[@Mulletdog1]

@@lucasm.3864 could be due to over saturation

[@Shalakor]

They've gotten bad upfront view counts, but will probably drive above average long term watches due to high rates of recommending to each other when discovered by people down the line.

[@Morathor]

I want to convert this episode into liquid, fill a swimming pool with it, and float for several hours, thank you.

[@leoryff979]

Good job Tulok. Roll a d100 and take that many days plus 7 off. Don't forget the modifiers.

[@anthonynorman7545]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! YOU'RE ENDING THE YEAR WITH ABSOLUTE BANGERS!

[@itwasidio1736]

Yeah, my mom would definitely call me a poser. Great builds.

[@atnervesend]

Love that the Calligraphy is in character for Spike this time around

[@steeltoedsandals]

Tulok, thanks for all the hard work on these builds. They've really been so fun to watch. Have a happy new year, and take a well deserved rest!

[@andrewpowers2249]

Great way to end the month, and year. Thank you for the two characters a day, I will truly miss this, and look forward to what you have in store next December. And of course, the normal videos per week.

[@walterkipferl6729]

„…to take advantage of your hair trigger.“ You know, since Faye is a initiative-maximising build, you could have grabbed Harengon (if you didn‘t care about this being Faye) and literally gotten the ability Hare Trigger for +PB to initiative. Just a thought.

[@aetherspiralknight]

XD

[@fightingfalcon777]

Excellent work this past month, Tulok! Thank you for all the hard work you put in to bring us a full month of DOUBLE builds! You’re awesome, dude!

[@iqcrazy9762]

This is my first December following this channel but I have been around for most of the year. I applaud you, sir, and I can’t wait to see what’s next! Your builds, commentary, and homebrew are all phenomenal and I look forward to your videos constantly. Easily one of my favorite channels on KZbin

[@noahhobson4521]

Spike and Faye are great, but you could have made the best character from Cowboy Bebop; Ein. The dog is the mastermind, you know.

[@Uhshawdude]

How about this: Eds a battlesmith, and ein’s their Steel defender

[@kenshokram]

@@Uhshawdude That's what you let the group think, but Ein is actually a Rogue mastermind

[@ericpeterson8732]

Actually, I've warmed to the custom lineage since I realized it was great for talking dogs, raccoon mercenary, and Witcher mutants. And I know you have an actual reason for it besides just getting darkvision and a free feat.

[@ericpeterson8732]

I had a stupid joke that I was going to add and then remembered the last time I did that and how it failed miserably because you and I have very different perspectives. So I got rid of it. You're welcome, I guess. Anyhoo, I enjoy your videos, especially the ones that feature characters I know. Thanks for the hard work.

[@mnm2317]

I'm going to just ignore all the possibly hate replies because I don't watch a lot of anime.... including the ones who Be and Bop. I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Tulok. I thought 2020 had a touch 1-build-a-day December and then you LITERALLY FOUND A WAY TO DOUBLE THAT CHALLENGE (that no one was challenging you with) and did it in such a great way. Now groups, pairings, and etc are even MORE fleshed out and guided into existence. I have taken a few a way from this month and am excited for what you do in the future. Your tireless hard work does NOT go unnoticed! Even tho I'm a patreon I wanted to say all this here because I also want to say that if you've built at least ONE character thanks to these videos PLEASE go toss a coin to this witcher, because, seriously, he does a great job creating these in entertaining ways and even helps give you some reflavor options to spark the imagination for playing them. And if you REALLY can't afford to give a few bucks to a guy who just put in hours of work so you can go play a fantasy make-believe board game........... then at least contribute to the youtube algorithm, put a ton of his videos on play (mute if you need to) and give him some silly comments of encouragement. Seriously, all of that is actually free for you but can either give him some passive help or direct, as he smiles when he sees your "lulz this looks fun" comment. It really isn't too much ask, be a good human being (with your dumb human eyes.... Tulok joke for no darkvision ;) )

[@deamonkingofdrakes]

Haunted One is a really good background for Spike. It fits the cannon and gives him survival and investigation

[@Eramiserasmus]

A beautiful duo from one of the best animes to end this month! See you in the next year!

[@reloadpsi]

Oh sweet, two different takes on a Hong Kong action movie gun kata build. Well, kind of, because in HK action flicks that character dies 100% of the time. And just another note, drunken master is my favourite monk class by far. Its damage never gets exceptional but its mobility is absolutely nuts. I can't get enough of it. Finally, your rebellion against those who incorrectly corrected you on riposte - which you already pronounced correctly in the first place - is glorious. Please keep doing that.

[@thevisual5426]

I've been waitin' for this one!

[@gavinb7791]

I LOVE Cowboy Bebop. Thank you for an incredible month and get some rest!

[@wm9482]

I did a spike build that was Kensei monk and inquisitive rogue, the basic functions wound up remarkably similar. Good at dodging, some fancy gun maneuvers, could size up an enemy, etc.

[@protocol9597]

Thanks for all the builds this month!

[@FanOfMostEverything]

Congratulations and thank you for making it through the whole month, Tulok. This has been a treat from start to finish.

[@williamedge5130]

I surprised Valentine wasn’t a… Faye Wanderer

[@TheLegendaryLegacy]

Thanks so much tulok. All your effort is greatly appreciated. Now take a long rest then begin some downtime.

[@HaruFoxy9138]

Wonderful episode, loved it, also excuse for making Spike "Custom Linage" he may be human BUT he was Born on Mars and is there for a Martian, so hes not a normal Earthling Human like say Faye or Ed.

I love the little things like "potatoes get a fighting style"

[@jaykway2628]

A build I never knew I needed

[@VaekuPlays]

Great builds as usual, but two big issues I see with the Spike build: Monks don't get Sleight of Hand, and Unarmed Fighting is useless since you're dumping strength and you already get unarmed die from monk...

[@thetribunaloftheimaginatio5247]

Hell of a sendoff, this... also, the Netflix series wasn't given a fair shake. And once again- if you have a DM that won't let your character have cool stuff or even defy the conventions of genre, remind them of that movie they released in 2012 where the unfrozen WW2 Super Soldier, the techno-espionage vigilante, the Space Viking with the magic hammer, the radioactive ogre and a couple of spies team up to save the world from the Space Viking's tricksy kid-brother and his hired goons from a distant star that might as well have come out of an Edgar Rice Burroughs novel. And then find a new DM.

[@feralart]

There was a fantastic cast chemistry on the live action. They looked like they were having fun with the material.

[@thetribunaloftheimaginatio5247]

@@feralart One MORE reason I was disappointed when that show went the way of "The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance."

[@feralart]

@@thetribunaloftheimaginatio5247 though to be totally honest... I don't think I could have taken another 10 seconds of that Ed, not without them dialing it back a few notches. It was like a bad crack-fueled impersonation of the cartoon.

I often run my dnd games in the Dungeons the Dragoning 40k setting, a wild Mashup multiverse made of cosmic level dnd, Warhammer 40k, world of darkness, Saturday morning cartoons, and pure rule of cool.

[@isaacgraff8288]

You are amazing Tulok, go ahead and get some rest after the doubles all month.

[@DanO-ot5wv]

An idea for your doubles videos, you could do Lady and Trish from Devil May Cry.

[@DanO-ot5wv]

For Trish, I can imagine her being very similar to Danté's loadout with the exception of having a devil trigger, but with the addition of having a greater emphasis on her elemental attacks; she does incorporate lightning into her fighting style.

[@DanO-ot5wv]

And for Lady can be easily summarised by; guns. Her entire moveset revolves around firearms, so anything associated with ranged attacks as well as being able to use them aggressively.

[@ArtGuyCharlie]

This was the double build I was most looking forward to, so of course it's last but it was well worth the wait. If I could just make one nitpick though I think Spike should have picked up Expertise in Sleight of Hand somewhere along the way as his ridiculously good pickpocketing skills feels like his most prominent non-combat ability to me.

[@_great_expectations_9478]

I’d be interested to know if you’d build live action Faye differently from cartoon Faye. They felt very different, but not in a bad way. Because, you know, if an adaptation is exactly the same there’s no reason for it to exist.

[@GrokNZ]

live action faye isnt even a gambler. You know a major defining character trait of Faye's. anime Faye gambles away every wulon she earns in the hopes of making more on huge bets that more often than not backfire on her. LA Faye doesn't gamble, not once.

[@burtmillard9196]

I kind of curious on how Aisha Clanclan from Outlaw Star would be built. Still. Calling Tabaxi Beast Barbarian for her high strength, resilience and transformation.

Worse still, Gene Starwind. Calling Human Eldritch Knight Fighter.
