How to Play Mother Talzin and a Sith God in Dungeons & Dragons (Star Wars Builds for D&D 5e)

Today we have a build for Mother Talzin and a mysterious second character in Dungeons & Dragons. if you want to manipulate people with more roleplay than fighting, but also be good at fighting in D&D 5e, these builds are both excellent options.

*SPOILERS* ... ... ... I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out who the bonus build would be. Bane? Revan? Nihilus? I was obviously thinking too small.

[@mason-.]

My favorite part of star wars is when the swords go "vwooooom"

[@thejaykid1373]

Why do I have a feeling it's going to be... Edit: Hit the second character. Well done Tulok. Removed for spoilers

[@technicallyanimated6252]

He did it he actually did. My god, the mad bastard did it. You don't know the power you trifle with 😨

[@AllToastersToastToast]

3:44 Rules as written, you technically couldn’t use Green Flame Blade on Shadow Blade, because the component is a weapon with some cost (not necessarily one made with magic). Depending on the DM, they’re probably be cool with it, but I figure it’s worth at least noting the RAW.

[@jamesbedwell8793]

Some people have argued that if you make a spell scroll of shadow blade it counts, but I think you're really relying on DM fiat if you want to pull this off.

[@GamerTreeProductions]

RAW that’s true, but I think it was unintentional. Jeremy Crawford said he would allow GFB and Booming Blade to be used with Shadow Blade at his table.

[@AllToastersToastToast]

@@GamerTreeProductions Ah. I always thought the cost specifically excluded magically created weapons, but that makes sense. _And honestly, that combo does sound fun. Haven’t tried it though._

[@AbyssalDrake88]

bold of you to assume any warlock spell has no cost.

[@zenebean]

@@AbyssalDrake88 I don't know, I figure my soul is only about 8 copper so still not quite enough for the material component

[@braedengraham6239]

I love how what the sisters say is where they get their power (sisterhood) is essentially the equivalent of saying "friendship is power!" My little pony style, then raising your dead friends from the grave to murder some robots.

[@darthironhand4353]

Sith God is confirmed as the most powerful dark side being in the galaxy, ever. Love it.

[@E1081TheSecond]

Hmmm. Exar Kun? I don't recall how much there is written about him, but that fits pretty well into the 'sith god' thing, and if I'm remembering correctly, he was supposed to appear in one of the Clone Wars episodes, so technically prequel? EDIT: Oh son of a bitch.

[@matthill5426]

Tulok, legit praise here: One thing you do well is the editing. I like how you alternate the levels on the left & right of the screen. It makes it both interesting to watch, and visually organized when you want to go back and see a particular level. So... good job on that! Well done! :)

[@trevorgerstin2490]

20 seconds into the video: It’s going to be Jar Jar, isn’t it Edit: Why am I cursed with knowledge. Anyway, great video, you definitely captured both characters really well. The Talzin build is definitely weird enough for her and the second one is just spot on.

[@notyepdranel961]

It has to be!

[@studynot757]

It better be!

[@brunnooaraujo]

MEESA KNEW IT!

[@macewindu3492]

You can see things before they happen, it seems. It is a Jedi trait

[@RayneGrimm1]

Was literally my first thought

[@excalibursaurusm5701]

I can't believe you finally made a build for the most powerful Star Wars character. 😄😆😆😄😄 Talzin is also here I guess too. 😕

[@hattsbygaming2861]

That 2nd build is FAR TOO STRONG, what were you thinking?

[@BlairWasTakenAlready]

As I was listening to Tulok telling us to make a legit guess I made the biggest Oh Fuck face and said outloud in my room alone: Jar Jar . . . . . . . I WAS RIGHT, TULOK YOU MONSTER

[@zachmcmullen2741]

Easily my favorite OP Sith, the RAW power is unmatched.

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

Ah, yes! The famous Someone Else. We have heard of you. We will watch your career with great interest.

[@OldGreyGryphon]

I did not see that second character coming and I love it! Great work!

[@GamerTreeProductions]

0:49 How to Drink is kinda your “Binging with Babish channel on how to make nonpoisonous potions” but it’s simultaneously teaching you how to do this with poison

[@vennom14]

I did not see the second character coming, but that's awesome

[@gamemasteranthony2756]

(makes notes about that second character if I ever decide to step away from Pathfinder and get into a 5e group) (ponders an idea to make a Pathfinder version just in case) (smiles very sinisterly)

[@vogunBurgundy]

Snake Style with a +60 Sense Motive used in place of AC go brrrr

[@Psykolord1989]

Your journey to the Dark Side is now complete...

[@jackofdiamonds4351]

17:04 I would like to mention that in the Aftermath series of books, Jar Jar canonically becomes a sad clown, taunting more orphans to a path of darkness. Truly evil.

[@olorin6494]

It’s the son surely. Edit: Damn it🤦🏼‍♂️

[@nathanielrobertson2968]

My guess is Jar-Jar Binks. I feel like it’s gotta be him. My built him as a Drunken Master Monk/Eldritch Knight, although if he’s the character, Tulok probably made a Paladin/Ranger multiclass that’s somehow more accurate.

[@Darksnowman13]

Happy Holidays Tulok, and all the Barbrarians

[@Ulekius]

I think it's either going to be jar jar or some random dude from the comics that I've never heard about goddammit tulok

[@phillipschmidt6295]

I have been wanting for this episode for so long!!!!! I love you other Phillip!!! Merry Xmas!!!

[@AZDfox]

Hey, got my favorite Star Wars character for my birthday! And just like him, Jesse Faden is a highly mobile leader who is often underestimated. And much like Talzin, Jesse has her own minions, as well as a summonable weapon and power from an otherworldly source.

[@user-fd5nz5lo7m]

Hexblood would also be a good fit for Talsin. She is a witch afterall.

[@itwasidio1736]

This takes the "it was me the whole time" bit to another level.

[@NobodyAtAll56]

Clicked for the abeloth clickbait, stayed for the true sith God

[@naethrum3554]

Great! I absolutely love your Star Wars character builds! I'd argue Mother Talzin would be the SW equivalent of an Archfey Patron and the other Sisters would be her Warlocks. But hey, we can't play an Archfey!

[@petbird19]

Yes I'm so excited to play Mother Talzin!

[@demi-femme4821]

Nihilus, final answer Edit: Should've guessed.

[@monkeytime3169]

Can't wait for the Glub Shitto build 🙏

[@zackmakedonsky425]

Double feature that contains an all power dark side force user second to none, and Mother Talzin? Sweet!

[@Krakenborn654]

Holy shit, he actually fucking did it. I never thought he would ACTUALLY do it.

[@TCC180]

I love shadow blade. for one thing, it's edgy as hell. It hits harder than any other ordinary weapon (2d8 at base, 3d8 upcast to 3rd lvl), plus it's psychic damage. you've got advantage in dim-light/darkness, which depending on your game could be most of the time (dungeons tend to be pretty dark). Only thing that'd make it better is if a wand of +1 made it into a +1 weapon, but RAW it doesn't work like that....

[@awesomebird7558]

The Jar Jar reveal was comedy gold, could not stop laughing :D

[@danieljohnson9917]

Dear lord, how did I not see that coming.

[@EJBarron]

I would very much enjoy seeing you make Freakazoid!!!

[@nathanvalley7269]

*Sees title* Me: Who is he talking about, The Son? I mean there isn't a lot to pull from, but I mean- OH no I know who he means.

[@fenrismarks876]

I was so hoping you were going to do Revan but fair maybe at some point you will

[@ethanhorn6093]

"Don't skip ahead!" I came here for Mother Talzin, the greatest Star Wars character in the canon anyway, so fine, I won't skip ahead and look.

[@notoriouswhitemoth]

Ooh, now that's a villain!

[@user-er2ez2hm4s]

Thanks.

[@brianformica2599]

Amazing builds. Thank you.

[@triplezeroxz5875]

Leaving my comment, My guess is Abeloth (iykyk), but knowing you it's gonna be a bit more clever than that. Edit: as predicted, far more clever. Well played sir

[@LyokoBarbossa]

RAW, you cannot use Shadow Blade with Green Flame Blade as the cantrip requires a weapon with a cost of 1 silver piece or more; which Shadow Blade does not offer.

[@studynot757]

YESSSS!

[@golganion4469]

I fucking knew it Great job

[@serpentsembrace782]

I think I would've added a level of Rogue to the sith god build for a little extra damage and deception/performance expertise, but otherwise well done!

[@bentash727]

You should make Banshee from x men. Also with improved pact weapon you can make it a ranged weapon, which is cool cause the nightsisters use bows fighting at range.

[@IFledFromKansas]

YESSSSS!

[@troodontalon5990]

Any chance of a Cole MacGrath build in the near future?

[@NeroNyte]

Something I'm always curious about, Unarmored Movement Improvement, the wording is "Move *ACROSS* vertical surfaces and water", I always interpreted that as like moving horizontally across walls, not straight up them. Has there been any sort of ruling on this before?

[@krimsonkarma8412]

Well, I'd imagine the across is moreso for the water, and the vertical surfaces imply moving straight upwards.

[@NeroNyte]

@@krimsonkarma8412 but it says across vertical surfaces, which doesn't imply straight up to me the same way having a climbing speed or spider climb does

[@LapisDollhouse]

Do you think you'll ever make a Naminé build?

[@timetrnr7380]

Glup Shitto build next, please!

[@saqwana25]

Well the witches of dathomir do use the force just in a way others don't. The closest would be the sith who use rituals to do more powerful darkside powers.

[@sirusburningham4521]

That Babish callout tho

[@harley3211]

my guess is nihlus! he absorbs planets right, what could be more godlike? maybe death cleric or smth! u already did one recently but thats my 5 second guess edit: oh my god

[@mothersuperior3181]

Happy 🌳

[@Getsuei_Tsugikuni]

I’m gonna guess that “Sith God” is Darth Andeddu.

[@matthewmccoyd2578]

how about a scourge aasimar monk-barian for asura? (or just a barbarian with tavern brawler) if we can't have gurren lagann, this is the next best thing.

[@hydrastuff8029]

*looks at the title* It's gonna be Jar Jar, isn't it?

[@Hoivey]

Wait, i just noticed, tobi from naruto is basically jar jar

[@cameron6435]

darth kreia would be fun to see. Shes my favorite sith

[@nicolasvillasecaali7662]

I have to say that reading Lore from Starwars is a wormhole of his own, but if the perseverance of a jedy and the ambitions of a sith are needed to get my Tangle the lemur build from Sir Tulok(btw, please?), I will read all the whole temple library!... although it might be significantly reduced due the new management... Even the siths have motherhood bonds that can transcend the limits of mortality, the coven of the nightsisters had lady Talzin from Dathorminan as the head and leader, who had his son, good boy Maul, and even when death was threatening to keep them forever apart they met briefly before the sith Lords ended her journey and bequeathed Maul a future of revenge, one that might need the most powerful force user in our Galaxy, one that is shrouded in mystery, hiding as a joke that no one could suspect and still grasp the strings of power to shape the stepping stones of the empire itself... If you are in a campaign of evil PCs this is your lucky day! Be sure to weight your opponents carefully though, the good guys might be a problem but the angry space wizards with their drone bodyguard are a more puncturing trouble to handle.

[@curuadh6056]

If it's not Jar Jar, I will personally destroy my kung fu.

[@rockyreyes8589]

You should do Berk from Berk

[@charleshockenbury353]

Honest guess; The Sith God is Kreia from Knights of the Old Republic II I’m only 50% confident in that guess, but she has mother Talizan vibes to why not?

[@charleshockenbury353]

You know, I really should’ve seen the meme answer coming I almost did, but was like, “Nah. He wouldn’t,” I can only blame myself

[@Mary_Studios]

Darth mal's brother is my guess. Interesting on seeing if I'm right Okay wasn't expecting Jar Jar but excited about it none the less and he is totally a manipulator

[@noirangelxd1195]

I knew it.... I knew it was him...

[@gking198]

Savage oppress

[@trashie.phantom3042]

Every day I pray for a Darth Bane build

[@lilymatthosinhos2086]

Jar jar?darth vader?Goku but a sith?

[@dakotalange2858]

Can you do Queen marika from elden ring

[@bradhoelscher2532]

Guessing before watching the second half of the video, I think it’s Jar Jar Binks, with lord!

[@bradhoelscher2532]

Called it! 😂 good content as always, Tulok

[@timeinminutes]

It’s fucking Jar Jar, isn’t it? Edit: Damn it, Phil

[@apex2000]

Oh THAT Sith God. (Yep I was right)

[@parsleythefool]

Psa: don’t read the comments before watching or leave spoilers in the comments

[@MiniatureAcademy]

What about pirate captain Hondo Onhaka? Do Hondo next!

[@dandragon8595]

The fact that Disney did not have a plan to begin with, that Disney didn't just say "fuck it" and do Darth Ugduck in The Rise of Skywalker, is a dropped ball on their part. Also, Darth Ugduck is the Sith name of Jar Jar.

[@Ghost_in_the_Rain]

You are a bold one...

[@darnniceguy372]

Aboleth! I mean realistically probably not... But that is who my immediate guess/thought is!

[@anucari]

Please tell me we are getting starkiller next

[@thiagopereira8458]

Can u make a "How to play Lobo"? From DC comics

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

Neat

[@anorkweirdboy]

SITH JARJAR CONFIRMED BAYBEEEEEEEEEE

[@thePunisher95125]

Can we see please Quan Chi or Shang Tsung and The Shade from DC.

[@alexpick518]

Predicting darth jar jar.

[@13eaewe7m3thso]

my guess (without looking at any of the comments) is that it's going to be that one guy from the planet with the force gods who appeared in one episode

[@13eaewe7m3thso]

i have never been more happy to be more wrong

[@possessedpicklejar4762]

Calling it now. Second character is Gonk Droid.

[@Mc.Scrumpy]

Here's a doozy! Tahu or Onua from bionicle 2001

[@lastsonofzod]

I didn't see that coming. I should have. It's quite natural actually, but I didn't :p

[@channelx8254]

Im either calling jar jar or savage but I would settle for an R2-D2

[@sherminatoranalysis3429]

I really thought it would be emperor Palpetine

[@fireyjon]

While I don’t believe that he is actually a with I do look forward to playing him

[@macewindu3492]

The Sith will be Jar Jar, calling it now

[@macewindu3492]

Knew it

[@morgan1024]

My guess will be Waxer.

[@erikwilliams1562]

Youva enemies gonna die?! Yes

[@ArcCaravan]

I watched this only to see if the second build is who I thought it was. I was correct, assumingly like everyone else. An evil politician (oops, tautology) like Zelda.
