[@starsgears9200]

I adore how you've managed to make "Yell at people and occasionally use a sword" a viable character build.

[@tulokthebarbrarian2033]

This is 90% of the characters I play

[@vellothedreepy5930]

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 You play 90 percent of the characters you have built all by yourself? That's insane! Would you be able to make a character build of Jirachi the Wishmaker?

Prewatch estimates: Will Turner will have the power of LEVERAGE

[@jaseannfoxoff3542]

It will, indeed, be a missed opportunity if not taken

[@mistamemewide]

I actually like the thought of Will being a Forge Cleric.

[@Technodreamer]

Yeah, it's the kind of thing I'd never have expected, but thinking about it makes me immediately go "Makes sense!"

[@arend681]

Can you explain why it is fitting? Will isn't that religious right, so I don't see the link that easily, except that he is a smith?

[@Lamaart_]

@@arend681 it is more of his devotion to the craft. before the black pearl attacked smithing was his entire world. his job, his faith and his hobby

[@Technodreamer]

@@arend681 In 5e, clerics can be devoted to a concept, rather than to a god.

"Battle axes don't work great on boats" CHALLENGE ACCEPTED Axebeard is the name of my next pirate

[@WhitzWolf92]

Also, boarding axes were a thing. Might be closer to hand axes, but battleaxes are versatile!

[@kellydolan9717]

For Anyone who wants to know ship directional words the bow of the ship is talking about the forward facing front, the stern is the back of the ship, the port is the left side and starboard is the right side. Hatches were little openings to help with air circulation on nice days and the poopdeck is the highest rear deck just above the cabin where you see the helm (boat steering wheel). Apparently poopdeck is derived from the french word for stern. You all have been visited by the Fun Fact Hafling!

The best example of inspiring leader speeches is Ally Beardsly on Dimension 20: Fantasy high. They really go off

[@donovanfaust3227]

Just wait its gonna get really inspiring here in a second.

Okay I said that Krillin/18 was the duo I was most excited about, and I stand by it, but this is a close second. Great power couples back to back.

[@robertlincourt8422]

Tulok is so great he gave you tomorrow’s gift early!

[@kiddyoshi]

u cant stop now, dont let us down

[@aaroncoffman7267]

A quick reminder out there that these are templates, and can be adapted to your game and your player preferences and feelings on the character. For instance, power gamer me would probably not have will go back to fighter after 6 but continue in rogue. I had built a version of Rey where I went straight wizard after 5 levels of battle smith, and it was a great character. So thank you Tulok! Your builds are super awesome and help me with great RP jumping off points.

[@JDuel100]

I think the only change I would make to Will's build is to give it one of the feats that stacks onto Crits, like Piercer for a Rapier. Lets you reroll damage once per round, add an extra dice of damage when you Crit (which this build is fishing for), and also gives you +1 to Str or Dex. Feels like it would also be in theme, too. Because of Orlando's piercing eyes... or something. Really like Elizabeth's. I don't think it was touched on, but she's sitting on a +8 Initiative modifier because of Jack of all Trades. Will is sitting on a comfortable +10.

[@Munchkin.Of.Pern09]

Swords are forged, then edged, then heat-treated, then tempered (if we are ignoring any extra fancy steps like etching). “Baking” is not a process in sword-crafting as far as I am aware.

[@ArtGuyCharlie]

It is now.

[@hadeskingoftheunderworld7010]

Lies, deception, baking is the only process involved in forging

[@34Xboxaddict]

"Watch out for a guy from the Netherlands. Be awful if this couple was separated by a Dutchman." Killed me.

[@KamenRiderCorn]

I was hoping Will would go warlock for the end of the third movie but I have to respect maxing out his charisma so that he theoretically COULD do it.

[@alinkinthechain]

Between Reed Richards and Elizabeth Swan not a single One Piece reference. Tulok must have a capped dex and con mod because that's a missed (attack of) opportunity 😎 Great builds

[@matthewparsons4597]

This is weird. I've spent my evening looking for a way to play a College of Swords Bard to emulate one of my characters in a novel I'm working on, but the issue is that - excluding a very powerful magical item they have access to - they don't use magic. Now I've realised that I'm building a male Elizabeth Swan, a paragon and military veteran that just wants to make people smile. Oddly, it seems to be working

[@jchagasla]

13 initiative bonus sounds wrong for Will to me, he always struck me as the passive boring protagonist. I'd build him as a scout rather than swashbuckler, still very mobile and even more adept to seafaring. Forge Cleric WAS a great twist :D Mastermind Swords is amazing for Elizabeth tho.

[@troperhghar9898]

I remember asking when I was a kid "Why doesnt Elizabeth just live on the flying Dutchman with will?"

[@Dragongamz1]

Well I'd imagine a ship full of dead pirates, Dad included, isn't exactly the best place to raise a child

[@marcusc9931]

staying on the ship would make her technically 'part of the crew'.

[@jacobnestle3805]

I feel like a Fathomless level would have made sense for capstone, but I like Will. And Elizabeth is awesome, which is only fitting.

[@jcdenton2187]

I think that would be closer to both a race and a class change. I'd say that would be Reborn, Swashbuckler 3, the rest in Fathomless Warlock

[@Ryu_D]

Thank you for the video.

[@ArtGuyCharlie]

Sword Bard and Mastermind, two of my favorites.

Forge Cleric dip was indeed a fun twist!

[@tysonburke9278]

I've really been enjoying the Pirate ones. You should do Tia Dalma (Calypso)!!

[@CitanulsPumpkin]

It physically hurts me that Will's capstone wasn't the first level of Fathomless warlock. Undead warlock might be more thematic, but spoilers Will gets all of Davey Jones's tentacle powers at the end of the trilogy.

[@burtmillard9196]

Which Pirates of the Caribbean character next? Barbosa? I wouldn’t put it past Tulok to build him in the future.

[@MajorHickE]

Just what I needed as I give the College of Swords a go. What good timing. If anyone's got any tips, I'm all ears.

[@joshuajordan6278]

Heat Metal. Bards don't wear heavy armor, but they sure can weaponize it against their foes.

[@aaronsirkman8375]

I agree, Heat Metal is always great (and/or terrifying), and very useful for a Swords Bard; Silence also works well, since you'll tend to outclass other casters in melee. Keep in mind that the Mobile Flourish lets you move your victim, and then move to within five feet of them, not using movement, which can be a great way to eek some extra mileage out of your turns. Also, you can move someone off a roof, possibly dropping them onto another enemy; just check that your DM is cool using the fall damage rules, and you'll have some fun.

[@matthewandrew2972]

Hey! It would be super cool if you could build Vi and Jynx from Arcane!!!!!!!

[@justinswerve547]

Good video- "But why is the rum gone?!"

[@AZDfox]

High Charisma, dashing, able to do a lot of damage with a single attack, starting off the combat, in charge of a group she started off hating. Sounds like Jesse Faden.

[@Avigorus]

Alternative to Rogue 12's redundant ASI: Bard 9, for 5th level spells. Options include bringing the dead back to life, paralyzing an enemy, stargate travel, a violent rendition of "be our guest," and guilt tripping someone so hard that for a month if they try to not do what you told them, their brain tries to melt, among other things. EDIT: referring to Elizabeth's build lol

"Rope stuff" is up to the players creativity. Not the DM.

[@kingdomkey01]

It’s a bit of both. The dm needs to give the players a dynamic battlefield before they can effectively interact with it. It’s hard to use clever environmental tactics in an open field or bare room.

[@TheRawrnstuff]

@@kingdomkey01 Agreed. Unless the table uniformly agrees that the battlefield can just spawn whatever is necessary as the player decides to need it, I guess. Otherwise, relying purely on player creativity, the combat would crawl to a stop as players keep asking "are there any chandeliers? How long are the curtains? Can I reach the rafters?" etc. At least in my opinion, it is far better if the DM has a handful of interactive battlefield elements available to the players from the get-go. It's not like that prohibits the player creativity. The DM definitely *should* put some "rope stuff" in, if they at all can.

[@aquamarinerose5405]

I hate to be that guy, but that exact phrase can be used when you're forced to drop an inconvenient truth that usually only gets said by horrible people, but that doesn't actually mean the point itself doesn't have some truth to it. This is also why some people feel like "Being That Guy" is mandatory, because if it's actually true then SOMEONE who's actually decent has to be willing to say it.
