Reverend Rage: 1,500 Effective HP EXTREME BRUTE | D&D 5.5

[@bwaresunlight]

Acting out the stats during character creation is a great gimmick to set you apart from other creators. Well done!

[@vlad-tsvetkov]

Congrats, you have built the Gotrek, the undying dwarf-slayer. Seeking honorable death, and being to tough to be killed

[@Razdasoldier]

I am playing a VERY CLOSE version of this. I am playing a gnome to sure up the saves (I have adv on every save except Con while raging) and I wanted to point out if the DC on your Con save gets too high you can also do the spend rage to heal with your capstone feature from Zealot. People are missing that it applies to you too.

[@Razdasoldier]

Oh... and the reroll save +rage damage applies to your Con saves to stay up.

[@TheKilogram1000]

The live action character select screen is back! I get the giggles whenever I see it. I see the production quality improving.

[@garyboyles5762]

I was definitely wondering about a build like this! I'm excited! Definitely loving the "character creator"!

[@freemanvosburg4542]

Barbarians will do anything to avoid using the metric system, "this is equivalent to six level 5 Wizards"

[@Unorbit]

I absolutely love the new acting.

[@woutvanostaden1299]

Celestial warlock can get there too. Since gift of the ever-living ones automatically maximizes all healing. Whenever we cast cure wounds on ourselves we heal 85 hp × (4 spellslots + 2 spellslots from feature) = 510, a short rest gives us back, number of hitdice × 8 + CON + 4 spellslots equaling another 340 + the hitdice healing, which is a 260 added together = 600 + tough is another 40 + dwarf 20 + boon of fortitude 40 =700 + the 510. Now I haven't counted how much hp I would get as a warlock, but going by his rules, we could give up 4 warlock lvls for 4 zealot lvls that should more than make up for it with. We lose 1 spellslot 85 hp × 2 +1 = 255 + (3 × 5,5+5=10 total of) 33 + (4×1d6 from healing light) 24 = 312. 1210 - 312 = 898. So we lose a significant amount of healing, what do we gain from 4 lvls of zealot? 4d12 + CON + 4d12 from zealot self heal = 116 hp added to 898 = 1014 × 2 from rage for a total of 2028 effective hp to play with. I think that's not too bad for a warlock invocation! 😮😂😂😂😊😊😅 Edit: and we can still be on theme for the reverent!

[@jwell4638]

Nick works really well with Brutal strike because you give up much less potential damage with the loss of advantage on a weak attack to gain a very nice upside. It's like splitting a great weapon attack in two and only having to risk a small portion of it for the upsides.

[@tucker3306]

Now that's a lot of wizards!

[@NmanStully]

Loving the effort put into the b-roll. Slick moves!

[@DnD_Daily]

I've been going through my training arc

[@Boone382]

I love these new 5.5 videoswith the presentation. Funny, unique and informative. Keep up the great work!

[@rjjeffrey75]

Good build. I like it and am going to use it in my campaign as an NPC. Keep them coming!

[@CosmereArcanist]

I love the acting!! Nice touch!

[@geoffshetler9553]

This is a phenomenal build! Keep up the great work.

[@artemeremin]

Production values throught the roof!

[@Cirdan345]

You're back. Great!

[@bloodtyrantkorr4076]

Dude i love your cut scenes you put in the vids now

[@docteurguillotine]

ok, the acting is a very good idea!

[@Oddthebard]

Another great build.

[@ShaggySasquach4231]

If I’m playing this character I’m goosing up my dm to let them learn goading attack from the battle master.

[@matthewharding584]

Boon of fortitude combined with the champion fighter's regeneration is nuts. You heal for like 15 health a turn as long as you are below half. That and the crit on death saves is cool

[@CalebWillden]

I bust up laughing at the rotating "character model", and just standing there as a tarrasque tries to eat you. Nice build, with great narrative!

[@tarcisioantoniohesscoelhof5897]

I loved the video editing

[@bananabanana484]

Gotta love an undying warrior

Ladies and gentlemen he’s holy, he’s angry, and he’s coming for your kneecaps.

Hopefully you can *at leeeeeast* grow the channel enough to drop the part time job. Top quality content as always. Criminally underrated

[@DnD_Daily]

Appreciate it! Thank you for your support

[@xiongray]

Necromancer Wizard: That's impressive. Uses the same Tarrasque, True Polymorphed into a Humanoid + Magic jar for an easy 676 HP. Then with the help of a party to stack HP Maximum: Aid (40), Heroes' Feast (20), & Reincarnate (20 from Dwarf at least once), & Tough Feat (40) + Epic Boon: Boon of Fortitude (40) for a boost of 160 HP, a total of 836. Now there's no Resistance or major regen for double HP, but we are a full caster, & a Necromancer. You can use Nystul's Magic Aura on said Tarrasque to appear Undead for the ability, Command Undead. Awesome video btw!

[@collinw9792]

Not sure you're gonna be able to convince the tarrasque to be a willing target for Nystul's

[@xiongray]

@@collinw9792 It will when you've Magic Jar it

[@collinw9792]

@@xiongray well you see magic jar requires a humanoid, which the tarrasque is not. So you need it to be willing in order to use Nystul's on it, and you need Nystul's for magic jar, so it still has to be willing initially for this to work, so again, I don't really see that happening

[@collinw9792]

@@xiongray i guess you're true polymorphing the tarrasque into a humanoid, but then it's no longer a tarrasque, it's a humanoid, so idk what you're talking about, unless then later you dispel the true polymorph?

[@xiongray]

@@collinw9792 A True Polymorphed Tarrasque, as a ordinary human, still retains its HP.

[@snackcakesmcgee7729]

If I were to optimize this build, I'd probably use it with an orc for relentless endurance and adrenaline rush. Also, I'd probably take a feat at 16th level, since you'll be getting a one point ability score increase from boon of resilience and there isn't any point to having an ability score of 25. Right now, I'm thinking of something that interacts well with adrenaline rush, something that makes you much harder to get away from, or something that improves your attacks with whatever weapon you choose.

[@rodneyrossow]

An alternative to starting as a dwarf would be to choose Goliath and choose the Stone Giant ancestry. I think the 1d12 + CON bonus PB times per day would make up for the slightly lower hit points you would have by giving up Dwarven Toughness. At low levels you can save yourself from taking an average of 19 points (assuming a 16 CON), which is the number of hit points you would gain at 19th level from the Dwarven Toughness ability.

[@hunterhackert5250]

If you also wanted to use a feat from a 5e expansion you could remarkable recovery from Tal’Dorei. It lets you add your con mod from any healing source that is either a healing potion spell or class features. So with the epic boon you could add your con mod twice per heal. Not insane but more healing is fun

[@fletcherclausen4349]

I know you where only using the PHB but if you combine this with 2 levels of warlock for Gift of the Ever-Living Ones you use the maximum value of any dice used to regain hit points, which takes this build to even more ridiculous levels.

[@natehansen3098]

I made a build in dnd that absolutely abused wither and bloom to the point where I would be able to heal 28/29 hp as a bonus action each round. Plus resistances equates to roughly 60 hp per round

[@fledgling9097]

Super tanky, I haven't gotten the book yet, but I'm looking forward to a grappling shadow monk from the 2024 PHB. I heard the grappler feat is better, and Monk works well with grappling. Dragging a mage into the silence spell can shut them down pretty hard. I also thought skulker got a pretty cool upgrade if I remember right, so that might be fun on a different build.

[@WizardVolovik]

You can see the new 2024 rules in 5etools, printed straight from the D&D Beyond. But I'll warn you that Silence spell is gone to shadow monk.

[@collinw9792]

Can't cast silence anymore as a shadow monk, but now you can see through the darkness you create, so dragging them into darkness you can see through but they can't might be even more valuable, keeps them from targeting with spells

[@mcullennz]

This would also be fun to do as a Draconic Sorcerer. With dwarf, tough, and Draconic you are getting 4 extra hp per level. Level 4, with a 18 con. You would have 50 hp

[@justink4051]

Would love a unarmed paladin build since it is now allowed with the new rules and unarmed strike have been greatly improves with feat and other changes

[@woutvanostaden1299]

I think I would take a warlock dip for gift of the ever-living ones maxing all healing on ourselves. (A gestalt campaign with a zealot barbarian/celestial warlock will be incredible) Because full healing is worth a lot.

[@genma200sj]

I built this basic character for a one shot, but it was a sorcerer/warlock who cast fast life a ton.

[@ryen0262]

goliath gives you stone's endurance, which effecitively gives you 1d12+con hp times your proficiency bonus If you know you will reach level 20 (or will start a level 20 one-shot), then this build is perfect and does not need anything else however, if you wont go past level 11, you could take 3 levels into celestial warlock, take pact of the chain, gift of the ever living ones (which maxes any healing you get from dice), fiendish vigor (false life was buffed to 2d4+4), cure wounds (which was buffed to 2d8), and healing light (4d6) since you get magical cunning, that means you have three level 2 cure wounds, each give you 4d8 each (12d8 total) so you would have 131 hp, 8d12 barbarian hit die, 5d12 zealot healing, 3d8 warlock hit die, 12d8 cure wounds healing, 4d6 from healing light, and 12 from fiendish vigor, for a maximized total of 443 hit points, so an effective 886 hp with raging and if you add goliath's damage reduction, you get 38 total (im not sure if i should count it with the total hp, or if raging affects it)

[@DnD_Daily]

Nice thoughts! To answer your last point you reduce then halve. Works the same way with the heavy armor master feat. Kinda a bummer because you could get some crazy damage reduction otherwise but it makes sense cause that would be a bit OP. The result is that damage reduction is strangely actually less valuable on a barbarian than any other class.

[@hbkb9]

I need that World Tree build asap

[@XGNTheFloater]

So I'm about to be running a gladiator Style Coliseum game where my players will be fighting against monstrous creatures and other gladiators for the amusement of everyone watching It's taking place in the nine hells, going deeper as they level until they reach the lowest level. This game will also be going into the epic levels of a maximum of Lvl 50. I can't wait to use this build as an opponent against my players as one of the koat difficult enemies they will face!

[@DnD_Daily]

Epic!

[@nandodando9695]

I'd have him live undercover as an archer...a bad archer, who never dies.

[@pzalterias5154]

What could create a Wolverine-like character in a dnd world ? Eating a troll ?

[@brandonlee3490]

could you possibly make a version of this multi-classed with Circle of the Moon Druid?

[@Mike_W78]

I think your math might be off. The barbarian can have 480 hp as a dwarf with toughness and the 40 hp epic boon with 24 con.

[@EmmettF.W.]

Can this build work with the Actual Players Handbook? The original, I mean. The one that wasn’t washed out and watered down.

[@NerdyDad100]

I love the idea of the hp monster, but i feel you are incorrect with the math. The healing wouldn't double power day, only the hp. So lvl 4 would be 61x2+52=174 (which is still awesome). Does that make sense?

[@Aba_KoTO]

the 2024 players handbook on DND beyond does not have these features.

[@mcullennz]

I think you are miss interpreting how durable works. You don't get extra hit dice. You are just using the as a bonus action instead of a long rest. You don't get both

[@mcullennz]

I missed the part where you get 4d12 from zealot

[@brynwtsn]

How are you getting 8d12 at level 4, from durable? I see that it lets you use one as a bonus action. But I don't see that it gives you any extra.

[@DnD_Daily]

At level 4 we get 4 from Warrior of the Gods (Zealot feature) and then 4 from Durable. So the 8 is just the total healing dice

[@brynwtsn]

@@DnD_Daily ah. Right on.

[@svenschrecker]

This was my question, too.

[@moriyasanae8130]

is durable really necessary? You could just short rest and heal full aswell… RIGHT?

[@moriyasanae8130]

Instead, mage slayer🎉

[@mfowler2246]

I have disdain for you using the 2024 book

[@jaymealmeida]

I am Sorry.... But I think the math is wrong. At level four you would have with the durable feat 5 dices and not eight

[@DnD_Daily]

Dont forget to count the ones from zealot barb!

[@jaymealmeida]

@DnD_Daily I am really Sorry to ask you... But, can you explain to me how you got the eight dice in level 4, please? I am Reading the 2024 phb and I thought that on level 3 you got 4 dices to heal in combat. And just one more dice with durable feat.

[@DnD_Daily]

Lv 4 you have 4 from zealot and 4 from durable. No worries, your questions are always welcome here!

[@jaymealmeida]

@@DnD_Daily I Will transcrpit here what It is written on speedy recovery under the durable feat: "As a Bonus Action, you can expend one of your Hit Point Dice, roll the die, and regain a number of Hit Points equal to the roll". This "one" hit dice that is what I was talking. Can you please explain to me what I'm getting wrong? What I just thought now, is that you could use it every turn to a max 4 dice, since you are level 4. But that would still be one dice per turn as a bonus action. I would most appreciate the help. And,by the way, your videos are awsome!!
