@@warbilby Depends on the stage of the Flood infestation. Feral stage could just be reflavored undead. I'm considering basing a Gravemind on an aboleth or something.

Since DnD is a team game, I wonder if building a low level squad of characters would be an idea for you... like 3-5 level 4-8 characters where the power comes from the interaction between them instead of each on their own? (For all those underpowered, but cool fictional characters)

Episode #203 of the Fire Emblem stats: Master Chief. Master Chief's very good at bows, axes, riding, flight, and heavy armor, and has no weaknesses. All of his stats are very high but especially his speed and luck.

[@Ludipolo]

Wouldn’t skill also be especially high because Chief is pretty good with every weapon he picks up?

[@aquamarinerose5405]

for my own take on the "Fire Emblem" stats, I'd say that... Master Chief would be a Lord (Or at least... a character that is precious enough to the plot that they can afford to be kinda overpowered, since I know from 3 houses that lords tend to be more powerful than most other units, but that's balanced out by the fact that you HAVE to take them, and if they DO manage to kick the bucket then you instantly lose the battle) His primary skills would be in Black Magic and Swords: I note Black Magic instead of Archery simply because I think that similar to how this build uses artificer and wizard spells to represent the sci-fi guns, so too would most of his weapons would end up turning to Spells in a FE type of setting. (And Swords just because that's what Lords do) Another advantage of making him a Lord is that I can just make up a unique class to be his Great Lord Equivalent, a sort of Magic Lord that's really good at tearing enemies apart with both magic and melee attacks whilst not necessarily being incredibly frail either. His only real weakness would be the fact that he's a jack of all trades and a master of none, a Lysithea-esque blaster mage will probably deal more magical damage, a strong Swordmaster will more consistently double enemies and take them down and avoid counterattacks from those who survive, and a strong Armor Knight will probably out-tank him, but the Chief would be a character that can easily fit into anyone's army because he can do just about anything (And hell, if it's like 3 houses, you could even just decide to send him down a more specialized path) Edit: Also, if Crests were in the game he'd totally have 2 crests and the whole "I was experimented on as a child" thing... So basically my Fire Emblem Master Chief would be what I wanted Edelgard to be, a strong tanky spellsword type.

[@weirdguy1495]

@@Ludipolo I usually just base everyone on Three Houses, so I don't have a skill stat in mind.

[@YourCrazyDolphin]

@@weirdguy1495 In Three Houses it is still there, it just got renamed to dex.

[@YourCrazyDolphin]

@@aquamarinerose5405 For Chiefs stats, I'd polarize him a little bit more. Still all-arounder, but I'd bump up his defense (the guy has been known to survive drops from space) and luck (in the novels, Cortana picks chief as she believes not that he is better than the other spartans in any way... But is blessed with good luck that always gives him a way out), but I'd give him poor resistance (in the games, shields were weak to plasma- if they are now spells, then his shields are now resistance). Such a set up would make him able to utterly annihilate infantry and armor, as he has the magic to hit their weak spot and luck helps boost magic in particular, but the player would have to be mindful of mages as without strong spells chief's only viable option himself is to get in close, which puts him at risk of being struck hard by the enemy spell caster if he can't one shot it. Even worse if they extend past 2 range. Personally I'd also give him slightly below average speed, but he isn't particularly slow to begin with, just not as mobile compared to other shooter protagonists.

A quick note based on that opening joke: Crunch doesn’t actually stop or slow down when a game gets delayed. If a game gets delayed, it’s because the game needs it, not the devs, so it usually just means a few more months of work at the same pace. I understand it was a joke, but this is a piece of info that I just think is important to spread around.

[@Rainstar230]

So if we took the strongest builds: 1. Poison Ivy 2. Master Chief 3. Ice Climbers We got Superman and all these other OP people, but this is our top 3?

By the metric he gave, the ice climbers wreck poison ivy.

Ironically, the OP characters's canonical power is exactly what holds them back. You cannot be good at everything in life-or in DND-so when building for them, Tulok has to assign them some weak spots to make the build even possible.

[@deltagearadvanced5140]

Well to properly put it he was flashed cloned and he was taken while the clone was left behind to take his place so nobody knew he was missing. I don't think if it's known if his flash clone is still alive or how long it was alive as in the books their was a story of one female sparten who ran away and found her family as an adult and confronted her clone. The clone was alive and a young adult although she was handicapped and chair ridden if i remember correctly due to, well, being a flash clone that was supposed to die early on but somehow kept on living. This proves that flash clones could live full lives albeit with near 100% chances for major physical or mental disabilities.

Okay, Master Chief time... Race: Variant Human. (He's very specifically a varianted human, pumped full of science.) Background: Soldier Stats: - #1: STR: His body needed to be powered up so tat the MJULNIR armor wouldn't juice him like an orange and the MJULNIR armor can be powerful enough to juice a human like an orange due to how tough he is) - #2: CON: See Strength - #3: INT: He can pick up and use basically any weapon you find immediately, even wierd holographic alien weapons no one has seen in thousands of years. - #4: WIS: The chief doesn't necessarily lack Wisdom but his main method of advancement is to shoot it. - #5: CHA: Master Chief is a man of few words and many, many, many bullets. And while seeing a 9 foot tall tank sprinting towards you at 30 miles per hour+ He doesn't really do much with intimidation. Mostly because his enemies don't live long enough to be afraid. - #6: DEX: Like Charisma Master Chief doesn't necessarily lack Dexterity, h just doesn't need it when he can bench press a small tank. Classes: I saw a class where somebody mentioned the Armoror Artificer so I'm going to say you don't take that. Instead I'll go with Champion Fighter with Crossbow expert and Sharpshooter As for a second class I think I'm FINALLY going to learn from probably 90% of of Tulok's other power armor wearing builds and go wit War Magic Wizard with the spells re-flavored to be his suit and equipment.

Depending on the chapter of Astartes.

@@pikachufantastic Grab Stealth as a skill proficiency from being a Variant Human, make Invisibility one of your spells and maybe grab a few Rogue lvls if you want to go Raven Guard like me. Salamander is pretty much what this unaltered build is, given all the abundance of fire spells.

[@lt.branwulfram4794]

Fear Fighter Thousand Sons might want to focus more on Wizard lvls in the School of Lore Mastery, Space Wolves should go for Fighter; insert any Martial Archetype with a focus on Str, I recommend Battle Master or Rune Knight, and Blood Angels will probably be Berserker Barbarians, just replace heavy armour with reflavoured medium armour so that you can still Rage as a bonus action. Edit: After doing more research, here's how to build the 9 Loyalist Chapters of the 1st Founding at lvl 40: 1) Dark Angel 1st Company Deathwing Bladeguard Veteran: Variant Human (Martial Adept, Precision Attack & Ambush), Fighter/Battle Master (longsword, Superior Technique - Menacing Attack) 20, Artificer/Armourer - Infiltrator 16, Wizard/War Mage 4 5) White Scar Outrider: Variant Human (Mounted Combatant), Fighter/Cavalier (halberd, Great Weapon Fighting) 20, Artificer/Battle Smith 16, Wizard/War Mage 4 6) Vlka Fenryka Assault Intercessor: Wildhunt Shifter, Barbarian/Totem Warrior (Bear, Bear, Wolf) 20, Artificer/Armourer - Guardian 16, Fighter/Rune Knight (battle axes, Two Weapon Fighting, Hill/Ice/Stone runes) 4 7) Imperial Fist Heavy Intercessor: Variant Human (Sharpshooter), Fighter/Sharpshooter (heavy crossbow, Archery) 20, Artificer/Armourer - Guardian 16, Wizard/Abjuration 4 9) Blood Angel Assault Intercessor: Ixalan Vampire, Barbarian/Zealot 20, Artificer/Armourer - Guardian 16, Paladin/Oath of Conquest (great axe, Great Weapon Fighting) 4 10) Iron Hands Redemptor Dreadnought: Warforged, Fighter/Brute (Unarmed Fighting, Archery) 20, Artificer/Artillerist 20 (Force Ballista) 13) Ultramarine Tactical Intercessor Sergeant: Variant Human (Inspiring Leader), Fighter/Battle Master (longsword, Superior Technique - Commander's Strike), Artificer/Armourer - Guardian 16, Wizard/War Mage 4 18) Salamander Eradicator: Variant Human (Elemental Adept - Fire), Fighter/Eldritch Knight (warhammer XD, Defence) 6, Artificer/Artillerist 16 (Flamethrower), Wizard/Evocation 12, Cleric/Forge Domain 6 19) Raven Guard Reiver: Variant Human (Skulker), Rogue/Scout 19, Artificer/Armourer - Infiltrator 16, Ranger/Gloom Stalker (2 bagh nakh, Two Weapon Fighting), Wizard/War Mage 2

I also got involved in a crazy lvl 40 Two Man Battle Royale one shot where each of us got to play two different characters put into teams. To pay homage to the Astartes, I played an Imperial Fist inspired character (Fighter/Rune Knight 20, Artificer/Armourer 18, Wizard/School of War Magic 2) and a Raven Guard inspired one (Rogue/Scout 19, Artificer/Armourer 18, Ranger/Gloom Stalker 3). It’as amazing how much mileage you can get simply by getting more damage (Extra Attack or Sneak Attack) with magical weapons.

[@plasmashade6339]

In one of his recent videos, Skydieray wondered of the different methods one could use to make Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. I left a comment essentially mentioning the right man for the job, Tulok.

[@pascallavoie8417]

Got another one for you including Cortana. I didn't done all the details but here IT is. - Cortana a an artificer armorer with a lot of telekinetic, telephatik and magic training who's soul has merged with a full plate armor using artificer magic/technologie merging abilities. - the armor "being" Cortana, she could use her telepatic ability to Read chief mind ans telekinetic to enfance His speed, reaction time, Strength and agility. - you can also add that Cortana can sense, even manipulate, the magic field around her, to simulator her ability to infiltratre any electronic systems. - for master chief, i think fighter/paladin. Fighter for all His training ans abilities on combat. Paladin for the personnality, augmented body and lay of hands as a simulation of biofoam injecters.

I like the true strike thing he keeps doing with every video.

[@benthomason3307]

YES!! FINALLY!! although personally I'd have represented grenades with melf's minute meteors. since you cast it and then they just sit there waiting for you to use them. I'd also have thrown the lucky feat in there somewhere, since that's expicilty what makes him the best spartan. on the positive side, dumping strength and con and then making up for it later with artificer items isn't something I'd have thought to do. clever.

[@xunderxdosedx]

Y'know...Artificers have never really been my thing but this build has me reconsidering that now. It's just too good.

[@grantbaugh2773]

I had something witty to say but then I forgot by the time I finished the video, so now I'm just commenting for the algorithm.

[@trevorgerstin2490]

Wow I’ve never had my name get dunked on so many times over such a short period. I know it wasn’t directed at me but damn I could feel the anger. I’m sorry Tulok, on behalf of Trevors everywhere. Great build as usual.

[@tannergee]

I love the basis but id personally switch the Wizard levels for fighter. That way you can get a action surge, archery or defensive fighting styles for better a +8 to shooting, or 21 base AC. An extra ASI to get the sharpshooter feat and max your dex, or pull up the wis or cha saves. But over all this is one Awsome Build thank you for all you do, I love your content!

[@buxedobro4372]

Even full Artificer would work pretty damn well but the Wizard levels just add those extra crazy spell options.

[@monsunoguy19]

Master Chief, you mind telling what you're doing in TulokTheBarbarian's video?

[@Jabersson]

When the last primates leave the Amphora region, and Delegation Cyphrus finally permits black hole drives to explore the Раздел Section, Old Man Tulok's cyber ghost will still be prattling on about how your build could be better if it was variant human...

[@IvyScrawls]

This build is absolutely great, I thought you were going to go with Abjuration wizard because of the overshield the ward gets you, but Evocation works well with the big attacks you can do with both classes.

[@oneconn9959]

7:58 I know he mean t-bagging in multiplayer but my mind went straight to Reach...

[@spartann3299]

I "WAS" going to fuel the algorithm and say that the luck feat should be in the build due to lore reasons. But then realized that his "luck" doesn't actually translate into gameplay. Overall this was an amazing build.

[@thebossbrenden1838]

It kinda sucks that he won’t be able to use the “gravity hammer” or “energy sword” since he can only use simple weapons.

[@dylandugan76]

He *can* use them, he just won't get his proficiency bonus with them. But with 21 Strength and the ability to make them magical +2 weapons, would he even really care?

[@thebossbrenden1838]

Dylan Dugan depends on what your fighting and I think we all know that Master chief is fighting them world ending level threats.

[@hollowhusk5166]

@@hollowhusk5166 yeah, but sometimes that isn’t an option for awhile. It would depend on the dm.

[@RogueHippie13]

Hell, he's only naturally proficient with the Light Crossbow. Hand & Heavy are martial. If you do this with good stat rolls, we might actually have a character that would like to take the Weapon Master feat.

Since I am reliving my childhood with fhe Masterchief Collection, I think I might try this character out sometime. I’ve been wanting to try an Artificer anyways. I’m also no curious how The Arbiter(Thel Vadam) would be built, since the Sangheili is a weird race to find an equivalent of(Lizardfolk is the closest I can think of), and while he COULD be similar to Master Chief, he’s (lore wise) more focused into Melee than Ranged combat with his use of the blade Prophet Bane, plus he has Invisibility for easier stealthing, and is a former noble/general(turned noble general once again after Halo 3 ended) and has the intelligence needed to lead an entire fleet and catch entire PLANETS off guard.
