Hey, do you want character sheets? Join the patreon at the $5 teir ya dingus, we're making six sheets a week!

[@pyroshell5652]

You made up Nika Ray, Kitaki Orlo, and Rumbaro Dandrum.

[@vernonhampton5863]

Okay, 3 times is a pattern. Next week are you making Spawn, Static or Falcon? Because, I dig it.

[@tempname3308]

You put in Eldritch Smite damage incorrectly. It deals 1d8 Force dmg, plus an additional number of d8s equal to the spell’s level (makes it math out basically identical to Divine Smite). Not a big deal, but you said the same mistake last time you used it as well. The builds are great, looking forward to the next one!

You got me at “Hey“, time to upgrade

Agreed. I was kind of meh when I saw the title card for this vid cause I thought it'd be more psionic warrior, but I was pleasantly surprised. Also, it managed to be different for reasons that were particular to Mace Windu.

Oh hey, Mace Windu! He's pretty dang awesome, though I don't see how the build could be that much different from the other Jedi videos... "I'm going with Barbarian." Okay, I'm listening~

Vapaad, canonically, is a form that doesn't work well against trained Force practitioners, but very good against other armed opponents, so this looks very true to the source and I fucking love it.

[@lawrencehughes7335]

Gandalf Becan I’m pretty sure vaapad was best against force users, mainly dark side users. It was meant to channel the dark side and use the opponents power against them

[@-Offstar]

Canonically Vaapad/Juyo was the strongest and deadliest form period. It channeled the dark side and was incredibly aggressive allowing the form to overpower any and all other forms. Vaapad basically had the rule that your opponent can't fight back if they're already dead. There were very few Jedi and Sith who could fight against a Vaapad or Juyo practioner let alone a master. The only issues with the form was it was hard to use and could corrupt those who use it if they didn't have a strong enough will.

[@OrangeyChocolate]

[@tgchc2482]

Personally, I like to think the fall from the building didn't kill him thanks to some generous application of force push then I can see Mace Windu trouncing on everyone and eluding Darth Vader like a badass, but I can see him tearing through the galaxy as a mercenary or something who knows maybe Darth Vader came to finish the Job or something

I seem to recall reading somewhere that Samuel L. Jackson asked if it was possible that Mace Windu might have survived, and George Lucas replied that sure, it was entirely possible. [citation needed]

[@benthomason3307]

also, correction: a zealot barbiarian's extra d6 is added to the first _creature_ they attack that round, not the first attack. so RAW, you can add it to every attack you make in a round so long as they're all directed at the same creature.

Vash, Spike, and Kusunagi!! Fuck Yes!!

Honestly I think Kenshin is just a Kensei Monk with maybe a level of fighter.

[@chrishansen1842]

Kenpachi may be the slightest bit impossible as he may or may not have infinite strength. Of course it would be scaled down but half the charm is seeing Kenpachi just boost outta nowhere and destroy everything lol

Completely solid. It often bothers me when I hear people call the Barbarian class useless or too simple.

Love what you did with it here, and it's a perfect example of using the Barb mechanics to be creative.

Lots of fun and I love the banter. The character looks fun but at 20th level if they are fighting a real challenge no way they won’t be raging which will reduce much of the magical part of the build. That said I like it. Keep up the good work.

[@ixelhaine]

Switching Con and Dex would be good for the build, Con contributes as much AC to Barbarians as Dex while giving extra Hit Points. Chain Lightning may be a Dex save, but with enough Con and that Tough feat, he'd be able to shrug off the hit anyway, as long as the lightning doesn't come from some sort of unlimited power source.

Starting a new campaign soon so hoping for a Mass Effect Wrex build or need some advice. Kind of have an idea of a heavy crossbow brute fighter build with the close range shooting fighting style from UA? But I also like the dips into warlock for eldritch blast shotgun like your Doomslayer, and that would free up unarmed fighting style for that Krogan headbutt/backhand. Krogan DO have battlemasters tho and Wrex has biotics, so that kinda renforces Warlock or Scorcerer too. OR Artificer like the Garrus build and go back to the idea of using a h.crossbow and sharpshooter. Any pointers my dude?
