I made a pirate character that was based on the Admiral Krakenov skin for the Stukov character from heroes of the storm and starcraft 2. He's basically a mix of Barbosa and Davey Jones. He's got a bunch of levels in spore druid and about 3 levels in fathomless warlock. The druid spell list has a bunch of tricks that let him control the wind, waves, and flames. Cantrips like shillelagh, thorn whip, and green flame blade are his go to combat tricks while his spore cloud is up and the giant tentacle from fathomless is waving in the air. Mold earth is a must have because sometimes you need to dig a shallow grave or bury a treasure chest with the wave of a hand. And of course at least three levels of fathomless warlock are needed because you need the swim speed, the quasit familiar that can be reflavored as both a monkey and a parrot, and mask of many faces because his race in Reborn and he's literally a walking talking skeleton with a giant octopus where his left arm and shoulder used to be. The octopus is also his symbiotic entity dark gift. He's a writhing mass of tentacles puppeteering an amnesiac skeleton around and calling himself Captain Wiggly Bones. The name tag and rank insignia on the admirals coat the octopus never lets anyone remove clearly says "Admiral William Brontotheer" in celestial, but Captain Wiggly Bones feels right to him.

I don't think there's a good direct equivalent for the lightning spears so maybe use Sacred Flame and boost it high. Hmmm, Draconic Sorceror [insert cutscene of dragon coup-de-grace] for main cast class? Tulok's Dragonlock might be the best option... there's the lightning AoE slam and the Lightning Stake, the charges-into-impaling-ashen-one grab, his 3-hit horizontzl slice combo, his forward lunge with stupid reach that he can chain at least twice.... I think that's most of his attacks. Might not need Dex very much, the stats on his Dragonscale Armor are actually really good, they're at least medium armor if not heavy armor. *IDK if you actually need Haste...

And Geoffrey Rush is easily the best performance of it all, so I'm excited to watch this video.

So I've called your channel RAW before as a statement against the assholes, but I meant it as you following mechanics ,not fluff, and primarily to defend you're decision not to use Mercer's stuff. If anyone out there thinks the name or description of a class/ability is "RAW" then they don't understand the difference between mechanics and fluff. A Rogue can be reflavored as a nobleman, a Barbarian can be reflavored as a Samurai, a Warlock can be reflavored as a Sorcerer, etc., and all of these examples are build I've played before. Especially proud of the Barb as I renamed all of the abilities, with Rage becoming Focus, Reckless Attacks becoming Selfless Strikes, etc. P.S. Quick nitpick and I'm sorry, a Rogue's Sneak Attack doesn't have to be "underhanded" or anything. I've been practicing HEMA for about a decade now and I would definitely say that a sneak attack can just as easily be a feint.
