While also making it when he inevitable have to put his foot down on Anakin slipping would have hold more weight. Since he respect his judgement as he would have been the first to stand up to the Jedi Council BS from day one. Make it more likely he listen when it matter. Anakin would still be smarmy asshole that does moraly dubious shit on the regular but still Master Jedi that kill the would be Emperor without a second thought.

I still think about your "All I Want for Christmas is Views" promo all the time. I started watching for Building Character but I stayed for the things that you do yourself. Ill continue to watch and support but what really gets me jazzed is your own personal creations. Please do more of your own homebrew. Maybe a video on the Feats that the people from Assek use. In addition, I think it would be good for the algorithm if you made videos about the new DND ONE UA thats been coming out. Lots of strong oppinions for the comments. Keep up the good work!

Since Spelljammer is out now, and Plasmoid is now a racial option, you can finally start building Rimuru Tempest from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime; and his posse. Rimuru is one of those odd sorts of power builds, but after you build Rimuru, you can get on the rest of his crew, which include Gobata (a hobgoblin) and Geld (a High Orc). But you still to start with Rimuru because he canonically granted them power by giving them names.

Sebastian, meanwhile, is probably some sort of Hexblade / Swords Bard, summoning the family silver to defeat his enemies, possibly with some form of Fighter thrown in, or alternatively a Monk / Twilight Cleric.

Hey Tulok, two questions if you see this and don't mind answering. I was curious as to why you haven't done Guts from Berserk? (unless you plan doing so) I'd love to see a build from him. Also if someone wanted to flavor a Warlock that makes a pact with their own creation, what pact would that be, or would they have to homebrew their own pact?

[@StriderZessei]

I don't want to put words in his mouth, but he doesn't like to do characters from series where there is sexual violence or similar themes. He did a Guts video, but took it down.

[@Benzux]

He had a build for Guts a while ago, but after getting pissy about people requesting him to build Goblin Slayer from the epynomous series, he took the video down when people called him a hypocrite (as his reasoning for not building Goblin Slayer was that he didn't like how dark the series was).

[@StriderZessei]

@@Benzux Goblin Slayer! I couldn't remember what the series was that sparked the "controversy".

[@Benzux]

@@StriderZessei Yeah, Tulok got caught by the "normie-filter" first episode and said that he wouldn't make a build based on it. People questioned and made fun of him for it, then started calling out his hypocrisy in having made a Guts build before, as Berserk makes Goblin Slayer look like kindergarten when it comes to dark fantasy, lol. To prove people wrong, he took down the Guts video and moved on with it. I don't entirely agree with his decision and how he went about the situation, but I can respect him taking the video down when accused of hypocrisy.

Okay so. I've always suspected that midichlorians were inspired by mitochondria, an endosymbiotic organism that lives in our cells and can be traced back to a small number of common ancestors. I am certain George Lucas never read the novel Parasite Eve (and I doubt he'd have played the first PSX game either) but that novel has mitochondria basically turning people into pyromancers. Makes you think, don't it? But either way, now I'm imagining Aya Brea as a fighter/divine soul sorcerer mix :P

[@niarudle]

Not a bad build but feels a bit lackluster in flavor. Qui Gon was one of the very few Jedi who seeked a strong connection to the living force (= primal magic in DnD) and was in many ways wiser than all the others so I saw him as a wisdom based character although I know Force powers are not possible with primal/divine magic. Also he used the Ataru lightsaber style which requires a lot of acrobatics so maybe dex based fighting would have been more accurate.

The master that followed the path of the force as no other, who believed on the chosen one before any other... And the unfortunate causality of lightsaber injury (because being cut in half is far more survivable...wait, someone survived the same injury as him?! HOW?!!!) Qui-Gon Jinn is that maverick mentor who have the skill to become top on his secret cult of space wizards, but chose to live on its own way: by being an even more fanatic cultist himself! (All should hail the church of Tulok the barbrarian, for one day he will grant us builds like the Tangle the lemur one, please?)
