How to Play Scarecrow in Dungeons & Dragons (Batman Rogues Build for D&D 5e)

[@liambreakell6529]

[@theraven5850]

If you watch batman meets the ninja turtles movie Scarecrow actually gets literally turned into a Kenku. This happens when the Joker releases a toxic gas that turns people into anthropomorphic animals that he got from Shredder. Check it out; it's a pretty good movie too.

[@bobbyparker4613]

I had a fear based character, dragonborn whisper bard / conquest paladin, lots of ways to cause fear, including the racial dragon roar feat to replace breath weapon. Basically all enemies around him were frightened of him, couldn't move, and were taking psychic damage the whole time. He was great for crowd control.

[@benjaminc924]

That sounds awesome

[@tobiisagoodboy8510]

Way of the Astral Self is pretty weak until level 17 or so though. By then most classes are strong anyways.

[@dayalasingh5853]

It's a cool concept though

[@oOPPHOo]

@@tobiisagoodboy8510 17? Nah, it's pretty good already at level 5th. That's where you can really exploit wisdom giving you both a good to hit/damage bonus as well as a high DC on your stunning strike without having to sacrifice your AC or anything like that. I'm part of a PvP group and it keeps on doing great or awesome whenever someone picks it. I allow it at my table pretty much as is though.

[@Ty17V]

@@oOPPHOo I mean, being good attacking isn't great. Congrats, you're a match for a Fighter for a few levels. Is having good To-hit/DC all that OP compared to any 3-4 level spell or a Paladin with Auras?

[@oOPPHOo]

@@Ty17V When your DC is for stunning strike which only cost a single ki point that all get refilled on a short rest, having a high DC is pretty fucking amazing. Other monks have to make sacrifices to get a high stunning strike DC. Sacrificing your to hit bonus even affects how often you land your stunning strike.

YEEEEEEEEEE. FINALLY. THANK YOU. Personally, instead of poison spray, I would have chosen Infestation. You can flavour it as bugs swarming out of your orifices. Which would be terrifying. However I. Love. This!!!!!

"Outstanding in his field" My favorite play on words

[@borderlinebear5509]

I have been waiting for this character for long! So, since this is a creepy character, I'd like to add something to an old request : Lovecraft buids. Months ago, I asked for them and you asked where to find videos. Here some suggestions: _Herbert West (a mad scientist, raising deads with alchemy) from The Reanimator movies _Supernatural Investigator (variety of choices) from the 2 recent games _Cultist (GOO Warlock/wizard) from the various games _A challenging build : The Color (a litteral color, kind of an invisible monster with both vampiric power and affecting nature) from the 2019 movie with Nicolas Cage.

[@Mitwadus]

With or without the Lovecraftian Racism?

[@Shatterverse]

There are swords that are just militarized sickle and scythe blades. Sickle swords (think bronze age Egypt and Mesopotamia) are just as effective as straight swords when made of the same material. For a two-handed one, the Falx is pretty cool. Either way in d&d they're just different flavors of normal swords.

[@AliceIsSleepy]

Etterra khopesh is the name

[@DurdleDers]

Dude my favorite Batman villain? I clicked so fast. Good pick guys.

[@kagekun101]

this notification actually scared me since i was playing a horror game, you cleirvoyant bastard. I once again ask for your generator rex video

[@mjsimunovich013]

One thing you should have addedd that this character that he could created fear bombs like in Assassin's Creed Syndicate because of how they cause hallucinogenic powder and gas to appear and after a certain time they make a horrific sound that scares people.

[@jjvh500]

I would make the argument that Spiritual Weapon or Spirit Guardians would be a great spell you could reflavor and say all of your opponents are mass-halucinating the same thing beating them up. Otherwise this seems super solid even if it has too many concentration spells!!

[@tommyawsm7132]

I was waiting for the next Batman villain and yet another wonderful build. I don’t have a Twitter but I wanted to make a recommendation. I just started on this passion project Power Ranger campaign and I thought “I wonder how Tulok would build a Power Ranger...” I looked up some stuff and while an actual Ranger (maybe Horizon Walker) would fit more idealistically, I figured that, mechanically, 10 levels of Celestial Bladelock (for a personal weapon like some rangers have, mage armor for ranger armor, and the Sculptor of Flesh invocation to turn into your Zord), 7/8 levels of Kensei Monk, and 2/3 levels of Battlemaster Fighter (for teamwork abilities) would be a cool setup. Just something to think about while we’re all stuck at home bein nerds. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@hydrastuff8029]

Since we're officially halfway to 200 builds, may I ask for a Goku build at episode 200? It would accompany Superman being build number 100.

[@hughmann8458]

Protector Aasimar Monk (Sun Soul) 19 Barbarian 1 Sun Soul Monk for Ki-blasts, super fast running, Unarmed Combat, and general Monk/Goku shit. Protector Aasimar for Super Saiyan (and flight). And Barbarian Rage for a second Super Saiyan form.

[@luisgusta]

I find it funny how many people fear UA so much, while actually missing the UA versions of some published subclasses like the Storm Sorcerer or the Kensei Monk. And nice build! It's kind of hard to make it much different from Pennywise, to be fair, but you did good!

[@dragonboyjgh]

the UA version tend to get tweaked before official publishing.

[@automatonio6336]

This is an awesome build! Scarecrow is one of my favorite villains and it is awesome to see him built in DnD!

[@marmato9332]

Thanks for the birthday gift Tulok. I think this build is just as useful for Fiddlesticks from LoL, cause, y'know, they're both scarecrows, and they are both scary, and there probably wasn't a lot of fantasy put in creating them anyway...

[@weirdguy1495]

Episode #150 of the Fire Emblem stats: Jonathan Crane. I'm going to mix the Arkham and Injustice versions here. He's good at brawling (which I'll count his syringe gloves as), axes (which I'll count his sickle as), and authority. He's weak in reason because that neutralizes his fear toxin. He's pretty weak overall in terms of stats but he has a better luck stat than most since he's the master of disorienting people.

[@biskits12345]

Thanks, the intro is the stuff of nightmares.

[@AtomikaBlerd]

I like the use of Bane in this build. Now I want to pair him with a luchador character... Wait, isn't there a Batman villain like that? What's his name again?

[@skoomaaddict1010]

The Prince from Prince of Persia build please. The Sands of Time would be interesting to figure out.

[@claysichorror6013]

The Undead Warlock subclass in the ‘Guide To Ravenloft’ is better as it allows you to have the spell ‘bane’ and a few others and turn into ‘Form Of Dread’ which allows you to become a horrific image (toxin scarecrow) and make an enemy you hit fearful of you.

[@johnnysizemore5797]

Notes from a NG human Idiot; Greetings from lovely Restenford! You could technically make a non-combat version of Dr.Crane(basically the Batman Begins version) by switching Monk 1 with Artificer 3(Alchemist subclass). You have to give up two more Bard levels, but you gain all those nice chemical interactions that made Batbales Crane more dangerous imho. It also gives you more combat options if you DO overextend.... May your pantheon Ever favor you(especially in these trying times), Baron Trevelyan of Restenford

[@lanceward5904]

[@rooktheriddler2607]

I made a character based off of Scarecrow a few months ago. It was only level 8 but I went Some GOOlock and Onomacy Wizard, flavored the True names as True Fears instead. And as a backstory pact thing, he had a random fear everyday, that was fun to play with

[@SpookySquid14]

Second try of suggesting Kazuma from Konosuba Nemesis from Resident Evil could also be really cool

[@TrueAohaku]

Kazuma would be great! Of course, point buy would probably be best (with standard human) to get all 13s, except for 15 Int. For that sweet, sweet multiclassing action. Edit: Of course Tulok has established he won't do point-buy sooo...

All I know about that game is from the Zero Punctuation review. What's he got going?

[@jadedinosaur7573]

BJGvideos Well, he’s an elephant who happens to be a commando and a friend to children. He had 1 game, actually made by Game Freak (the company that makes Pokémon) of all people. Again, I was more just trying to come up with Loxodont characters, and besides Barbar, Tembo was the only one I could think of. But hey, if you’re interested, check the game out; it’s a Sonic style running platformer, but since Tembo is a big boy, he can actually just smash his way through walls and shit, giving his gameplay a unique twist.

[@artificerprime4154]

In its current version in 5e, Contagion only poisons the creature it hits with the melee attack, and putting the poisoned condition on a creature without a save is the main reason to use this spell. The poisoned creature can't get any of the actual diseases until it fails its CON save against the spell at the end of each of its turns 3 times.

[@dragonheart1236]
