How to Play Lara Croft in Dungeons & Dragons

Today we have a Lara Croft build for D&D 5e! Remember to vote in the poll for what video you'd like to see next. This is our last Ranger this month, and showcases the roguish elements of the class (with some help from a couple of rogue levels). If you want to slink through jungles and ruins, ambushing unsuspecting enemies, this is perfect for you. Next week we've got a highly requested character, so come back for that!

*Lara Croft* A variant human ranger-rogue with quick wit, quick reflexes, and a nose for adventure and archaeology

[@keijahnigreenaway4057]

"We need enough HP to fight for our life" i felt that...

[@claude-alexandretrudeau1830]

At first, I thought it was funny the game mechanics left Lara Croft with no charisma. Then, after realizing she's the type who does what she wants and actively pursues danger for the sake of proving/disproving myths, it makes sense no one wants to follow her. And that she doesn't want anyone tagging along while she does her thing. Having charm and having charisma are two separate things, apparently.

[@TheJarric]

shes hot not charming

[@erikbjelke4411]

Yeah. She's a lovely lady, but pretty consistently gives off a very strong "frell off" vibe. She doesn't really like people, and the feeling is mutual.

[@StarkMaximum]

I had a strange urge to see how Tulok would build Lara Croft, and I was gonna go request it on Twitter or a recent video. Then I realized maybe I should search and see if he already did it and I just missed it. I totally missed it. So here I am! Also this build seems super radical.

[@Percival917]

For a video so heavily showcasing Reboot Lara, this build works surprisingly well for OG or Legends Lara.

[@CoolBoyShane]

I'm so glad I subbed to this channel. These videos are fascinating and well put together!

[@tulokthebarbrarian2033]

Thanks! I try and keep them interesting. ;)

[@reloadpsi]

"Can't get lost unless there's magic afoot" Or the person controlling her is me because I couldn't find my way out of an empty room :P

[@Nubbletech]

Not many people can find a way out of an empty room. Because they are not inside the room if it's truely empty. Also no oxygen.

[@reloadpsi]

@@Nubbletech I was gonna make a joke reference to Jaden Smith tweets, but that's kind of absolutely true in the strictest sense :P

[@StevenBryceWroten]

Tough picks this week. I think I’m gonna have to go with Vivi, though, since I’m interested in seeing how you’d do it.

[@tulokthebarbrarian2033]

Theres actually a really weird Barbarian path... never mind

[@StevenBryceWroten]

Tulok the Barbrarian Haha! Rage Mage!

[@weirdguy1495]

Episode 31 of the Fire Emblem stats: Lara Croft, the raider of tombs. Lara is good with bows, swords (the stand-in for her knife), and brawling. She's bad at authority because she tends to travel by herself more often than not. Her speed and dexterity are great but she's very frail in HP and defense.

[@kelseydutton6568]

I LOVE the variety of footage you used. Give me those good good PS1 graphics, please and thank you. Gun holsters over tiny shorts? Hm... Doesn't seem super comfortable but tell me more....

[@tulokthebarbrarian2033]

Oooh... that's the anniversary collection actually... PS3 graphics. PS1 graphics would look like a stamp... I've run into the issue before...

[@kelseydutton6568]

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Oh seriously?!?! Daaaaang. That's such a big difference from the PS4! But now that you point it out.... I don't know how I thought they were PS1... Not nearly triangle enough.

[@tulokthebarbrarian2033]

Shes a sharp woman, that's for sure

[@Lenkut]

Hey I just wanted to say I love your channel, the way you explain your builds is really useful, I'm glad I came across your channel (I'm actually using one of your builds in a campaign I'm in)

[@tulokthebarbrarian2033]

Whoa which one?

[@Lenkut]

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 I'm using your Thor build, I was using another one but I found and preferred yours, first session is this Sunday and we start at lv4 so I'm looking forward to it

[@tulokthebarbrarian2033]

Yes! Love that build, mixing magic and melee is my favorite!

[@Lenkut]

I'm excited to try it, I will post about how the character does in the campaign

[@Not_An_EV]

@@Lenkut so... I know this was a year ago but I'm considering playing the Thor build was/is it good and fun?

[@ogrefeet6077]

Nice my dude

[@kittygamer129]

Love this video and lara. I personally wouldve gone for thief rogue over scout as second story work is an amazing feature for lara who is constantly climbing and jumping (and falling)

[@phillippap2712]

Look into your heart. Vote for Vivi. Best boy, best mage, best character.

[@tulokthebarbrarian2033]

He certainly is a good boi

[@drakayodarcphyre4244]

Accurate

[@MFAniki6390]

So... considering his background, would Vivi be a Warforged Sorceror?

[@Mellion555]

@@MFAniki6390 the warforged makes sense, but I think he would still be a wizard: he doesnt learn any of his spells through himself, but instead through weapons and armor, and he cannot use spells that he hasn't mastered (unprepared) unless he has that piece equipped, so I'd say he's still a wizard, even if it's from equipment rather than an actual spellbook. You could maybe convince the DM to allow flavor changes.

[@JaelinBezel]

Vivi’s a boy?

[@KingBoxer119]

Can we get a build for Nathan Drake from Uncharted?

[@gregbanks5624]

Nathan Drake next? Pretty close to this build. I might swap INT and CHA, though.

[@Tomipsky]

Drake is a very lucky boi. I mean, his health in game isnt even health, its luck. I would recommend a halfling rouge with Stats in this order from highest to lowest 1. Wisdom 2. Intelligence 3. Dexterity 4. Charisma 5. Strength 6. Constitution

[@erikhermansen3431]

Sheldon Mopes, come on imagine how much fun it'd be. An epic bard dressed like a rhino, with low level barbarian, he flys off the handle at the end of the movie... Do it..... Do it..... Do it!

[@adriannelson4214]

How does Gloomstalker work with the Revised Ranger?

[@drakayodarcphyre4244]

Do you have written or typed up paths I coul look at while playing my character?

[@tulokthebarbrarian2033]

I don't at the moment, I'm working on getting something set up, but it's sort of a side project at the moment, so I'm not sure when itll be available

[@justinsedgwick7761]

I appreciate the Holes reference. I’m not sure how many people get it though

[@randomdude-4353]

Please do Agent 47 from the hitman series next

[@Mor1adim]

I might consider not taking Tough to go for the ability score increase

[@Mor1adim]

Depends on how often I find myself low on health, I suppose

[@ryanparks3413]

Honestly I would have gone straight rogue/scout. I had forgotten about the dungeon delver feat.

[@christophthemad8291]

Noctis

[@wavedash77]

Aye he actually put noctis up

[@wavedash77]

Nice

[@tulokthebarbrarian2033]

Of course! I love comments suggesting characters, they help me come up with the polls. :)

[@razielkasimer760]

I love how this basically doubles as Carmen Sandiego xD for those who know who that is lol

[@arunoc7208]

Imo I would abandon the last few Ranger levels and instead take Rogue to level 11, for a 11 Rogue/9 Ranger split. The last few levels of Ranger aren't that good, with only an Ability Score Improvement and a Gloom Stalker boost, whereas the Rogue levels allow you to never roll lower than a 10 for 10 different skills, 6 of which have Expertise.

[@hypnobunny3089]

Meta? No. Quietly ironic? Yes.

[@kingdomkey01]

Ah, yes. Wendy Anna Jones. #DecemberTulokRewatch

[@georgewashington7083]

"rouge" lol

[@ourkeving]

5th level ROUGE?! Joke or typo?

[@SuperKeith00]

Goblin Slayer
