@@lucario5748 you're good, thats all of them

[@StarkMaximum]

Fun fact: In the DBZ fighting games, most of their special attacks are obviously references to moments in the show, and these moves are named to reference what they say during that moment. USUALLY this is the move's name, but sometimes, DBZ characters don't name a move they use, they just smirk out a one-liner. Because of this, I am proud to inform you that if you look at Frieza's special move list in FighterZ, you will find that one of his special moves is called, in its entirety, "You might not survive this time." Yes, it's capitalized like that, and yes, it has a period.

[@Kugrox]

Good information for anyone whose never watched a single episode, but I imagine anyone who clicked this video already knows this. Btw, did you know that the main character of Dragonball Z is actually not named Dragonball, in fact, the main characters name is Goku! Fun Fact, his name isnt Goku and he's not a Dragon!

[@tibboocelot9272]

[@vernonhampton5863]

@@Matsiv25 I disagree. If you look up a lot of the versus videos by guys like Antoine Bendele, you'd see the comparison. Vader is a very different creature than Anakin Skywalker. Anakin was the Lebron James of Jedi, physically gifted and a dominant powerhouse. Vader was Allen Iverson, excelled despite his disadvantages.

[@demi-femme4821]

Ani would probably be a STR Paladin, too. Sure, he has mad hops, but mad hops come from STR. Also, his fighting style is Djem So, which is basically "STR-based Fighter, the Lightsaber Form".

[@keeganwolters3837]

I was curious why he was a Wizard but then I remembered he bad to study and train to get his golden form. Wicked

[@sigurdgram]

With goku as a sorcerer and frieza as a wizard, I have come to realize that to make homebrew rules for a DBZ game in 5e, you just remove the concentration limit. You can still lose concentration, but you can spend a couple rounds screaming and charging your ki to cast a stack of buffs on yourself.

[@aformofmatter8913]

Also double everyone's hp

[@zswords]

One thing I love about sickening radiance is that it is a very early kill spell. (if, the thing takes exhaustion, and you can force it to stay in the bubble long enough to fail 6 saves. and it isn't already dead from the stuff keeping it in the bubble and the raw damage as is.)

[@lucasm.3864]

The Custom Lineage option really opened up a ton of opportunities for this series.

[@Kugrox]

It always existed, Rule 0 of DnD, supported by Wizards of the Coast, declares and confirms 100% that you can change and alter any ruling as well as legally and lawfully rules as written and rules as intended, create your own races, subclasses, and even weapons and spells as you see fit. The only guiding factor that must be adhered to is Table Acceptence, if everyone rules that its ok, then you can legally add it to the game. Custom Lineage always existed. In fact, my table has been using Tasha's for years, before it was even created, because all Tasha's does is knocks out the nay sayers that are afraid of homebrew, and creates guidelines for homebrew.

[@kozytime3232]

While I am sad with the charisma hit this build takes but I think it's a really good one. Nice job again mate.

Ling! I played Armstrong in a campaign already. It's just oath of the crown/way of the open fist with the optional rule for specialty monk weapons, a pair of caestus with the stats of a club, now you smite With punches or even to cap off a flurry of blows. He was a lot of fun.

[@StinkerTheFirst]

Yesh, that does sound like fun. Did you ever say something like this in character? "This tradition of Open Fist fighting style has been passed down the Armstrong family line FOR GENERATIONS!"

[@falloutguy132]

ohhh I have no idea how he's going to build Frieza and I am excited to see this one play out.

[@pyron5277]

I'd have made Frieza a Lizardfolk, he has a tail, pointed teeth and weird feet that's pretty lizard like. Right off the bat you'd have an unarmored AC with your tough scales, unarmed attacks with your bite (but you can rp that you throw some punches too I don't think anyone cares) and the ability to make that same attack as a bonus action and heal from it. Then you can focus your entire build on the strong stuff

[@jacobandrews554]

Yes!!! Was hoping you would make a build for Frieza! Thank you so much! Lets see how much my ideas match up with yours!

[@mptran217]

If ling wins the vote I feel like LinGreed would be more interesting than just Ling. It’s the “ultimate defense” vs “Guy with sword”. Then again, I watched your king Bradley video and I enjoyed it.

[@phffffbt]

He might do both. Rogue for Ling's normal stuff then becoming an Arcane Trickster to get Sheild and alter self from the wizard spell list.

Krillen’s literally the most powerful human, and has a move that OHKs anyone he can actually hit with it (that he just frequently forgets to use because he’s got other concerns messing with his head or Allies he doesn’t wanna hit in the crossfire). And before you call BS, remember, Vegeta told Nappa to dodge because the disk would have butchered the bald saiyan, Frieza managed to dodge and still lost a part of an extremity, And Buu had regeneration that made it moot. The only person to ever tank one of those was Cell and Cell was basically at his peak when that happened. Anyone Else and a clean hit and the Kienzan would be deadly 100%.

[@nealenthenerd399]

@@skymanta1222 I mean the Fighter level gives Constitution Proficiency to help against it, 50 temp Hp is a lot of durability. Extra attack as well could be good as well. Now the rules on this is rather up in the air as it keeps changing but Unarmed Strikes could *maybe* count as a Simple melee weapon of the extra 2d12 damage (if not, just grab a weapon for a few rounds.) Can help with being in close combat like Frieza does even if it stops spell casting (but at that point, you do get to save on slots)

Thank you for the episode.

[@lincalmighty]

One thing to note about Empowered Evocation's interaction with Magic Missile. RAW: You only roll 1d4 and apply that roll to every dart of the spell. Empowered Evocation works on that single damage roll, meaning your 1d4 + 1 + Int gets multiplied to each dart. This can get pretty nasty. Edit: Also could have done 2 Fighter for the good ol' Anime Action Surge.

How to play Bofuri? Characteristic: You don’t want to get hurt, so you’ll max out your defense. Abilities: Tower shield. Provoke: Pokémon’s Follow Me. Cover: while you normally have a bad movement speed, you can teleport to protect your allies. Inspiration: passive buff to allied strength and agility. Devour: anything that touches your spell gets eaten, which also gives the wielder an HP and MP recovery. Paralyzing Shout: you can paralyze charging enemies. Hex: a bebuff spell. Counter: add your recent damage to your next attack. Additional skills that might be incorporated: Summon: you have a Flying Fortress turtle. Hydra: summon a three headed poison hydra for biting and flooding the arena in poison. Poison traps: capable of flooding areas with poison, or making a wall of poison. Atrocity: Giant Dragon/Demon form. Machine God: I Am Gundam! Loving Sacrifice: all allies within range gain your defense, or you take any hits they would receive. Also has passive healing and a defensive ward from outside ranged attacks.

Oh wow this build is waaay different then mine lol. My idea was simple with getting high Chr and Dex with Con next in line, going for a Warlock-Sorcerer.

[@noahabbe7960]

I thought it would be a lizard folk sorcerer for sure.

[@jaredpuwalski8545]

[@noahabbe9107]

Different account same opinions tasha's optional stat distribution rule makes this even easier.

[@nealenthenerd399]

Well the big thing is. Frieza is an alien, not a lizard. As for naturally being talented, many setting have it that you still need to be born with Magic than just training. Having a much larger intelligence could just mean that you are just naturally more talented and understand Magic much easier than anyone else. (Like getting to prepare way more spells and have better casting modifiers)

Get Cantrip into Weapon Attack as a Bonus Action (Punching) and Extra Attack (for that finally transformation) work wonders for flavour, if at the cost of not having higher level spells or Spell Mastery. And by going up to 6th level in Fighter, you also got an additional stat boost, or you could have picked Sorcery Initiate

Episode 284 of the Fire Emblem stats: Frieza. Frieza's pretty similar to the other Z fighters in that he's great at brawling and both types of magic. However, he's also good at authority since he's good at appealing to fear, and he's bad with heavy armor because whenever he transforms, that tends to break apart. His stats are all pretty high but especially his defenses.

[@nealenthenerd399]

I mean he is technically an alien race that isn’t in 5e plus the charisma casting wouldn’t be that great, and starting with the Tough feat is really good for the build. Plus you can’t shove things around as much with Dex like strength the way Frieza does. Also the Unarmed strikes from fighter are Strength based rather than Dexterity. As well as the armor of you do Heavy armor. If you do medium then it’s only 14 Dex you need. If it is Light armor use Mage Armor instead.
