don't worry about damage type inconsistencies, even the writers of the comics forget how Scott's beams work.

The writers of the superman genre just don't give a damn, which to be fair is precisely why I find it so unappealing, but it's always fun watching the fans desperately try to reconcile that.

@@reloadpsi Yeah that's not even a little true. If anything, its like any long running entertainment format. There is a lot of history to remember and depending on the decade in which a story is written editors are more or less helpful in maintaining consistency, plus you also run into editors that straight up hate current continuity and thus make changes, be they good or bad. Equally long running entertainment tends to have similar if not exactly the same problems.

@@LupineShadowOmega Yes, and few media have run so as long as superman comics as to create such a massive clusterplough of inconsistencies. You call it "long-running," I call it "run into the ground." Also, "that's not even a little true" followed by a bunch of points that literally demonstrate what I said is a bit "whut?" What you're actually telling me is, "no; many of the writers really don't care, how dare you notice that." There keeps being attempts to revive my favourite show Stargate for instance, and I honestly would rather they didn't - four movies and seventeen total seasons is usually more than enough for something to moonjump over the shark \_(ツ)_/

The air-ship proficiency which is a actual thing in Eberron is actually in actually character for Scott due to the fact in most of the X-Men canon especially the comics Scott mentions that being a good pilot runs in the family as his father future leader of the Starjammers Christopher/Chris Summers aka Corsair is a decorated Veteran Fighter Pilot who was the youngest member of his Air Force squadron to be named a ACE.

To boost the algorithm, and because Cyclops is my favorite superhero, I'm going to give some alternative ability score placements. This is mainly because I don't think Cyclops would have an 8 Intelligence. He's a master tactician and the X-Men's Batman. Charisma: 15, You're still an eldritch blasting warlock and an amazing leader. Intelligence: 14, As I said, he got big brain. Dexterity: 13, With medium armor, you'll want a +2 modifier, which you'll get after racial bonuses. Strength: 12, We need it for punches, I guess? Just eldritch blast and cast. Constitution: 10, You'll have enough HP by the end of this after racial bonuses, ability score increases, and the tough feat. Wisdom: 8, The kind of mistakes that are associated with bad wisdom are common with Cyclops. He'll get proficiency in Perception and Wisdom saves to help with this.

A 4th level spell slot doesn't convert to 6 sorcery points, that's how much it costs to make one with sorcery points. When you convert a spell slot into sorcery points, you get a number equal to the level of the spell slot. Also, Quicken Spell costs 2 sorcery points, not 1, so Metamagic Adept gives you one more use of it per day.

Unrelated fun fact: If you want to make the strongest possible Eldritch Blast, consequences be (Hoover) Dammed, all you need is two levels of Fighter, 3 levels of Sorcerer for Metamagic (Quickened Spell specifically), and at least 2 in Warlock to get the spell and 2 invocations. You can go the rest of the levels in Sorcerer or Warlock. More Sorcerer levels gets you more uses of Quickened Spell and higher level slots and spells, while more Warlock levels lets you get more invocations. The only ones you NEED though are Agonizing Blast (+Cha modifier to damage for each damage roll) and Eldritch Spear (300 foot range). Combine that with the Spell Sniper feat and you get a 600 foot blast, but you can also use Distant Spell Metamagic to make that 1200 foot (Can't use Quickened and Distant on the same cast though). That's up to 3 blasts a round if using Quickened, normal Action cast, and Action Surge.

If y'all want a lil more optimization for eldritch blast you can cast hex (requires concentration) and go UA undead warlock and hop to level 6 in that to add a damage die to each individual eldritch blast beam for a total (combining agonizing blast, hex, action surge, quickened spell, form of dread) of 24d10+12d6+60 necrotic damage.

Episode #273 of the Fire Emblem stats: Scott Summers. Cyclops is a leader that's usually pretty good at it despite what adaptations say so he's good at authority. His eye beams translate into skills in both reason and arrows (for sniping purposes). He's only bad at riding and flying due to the lethal collateral damage. He's the definition of a squishy wizard, with great magic but pretty squishy defenses.

Okay, Continuing on trying to get caught up on your videos, Wow, I'm a month behind. Yikes. Race: Half-Elf Background: I guess soldier? I don't have too much experience with X-Men. Mostly the live action movies and in the movies Cyclops seemed pretty stoic for the most part. Stats - Str: 14: Like I say in Wisdom, Scott has seen a lot of battles so he'd be pretty physically fit. - Dex; 13: Scott isn't a powerhouse, he would be a well rounded fighter. - Con: 12: Take away the eye lasers and Scott is just a guy but he regularly fights along side heavy hitters like Storm, Colossus, and Jean. He's gotta be tough. - Int: 10: He's not necessarily unintelligent but Intelligence isn't really necessary for the build I'm guessing. - Wis: 15: I'm pretty sure Scott is basically always a founding member of the modern X-Men and is one of the most pivotal members, going on lot's of missions and seeing lots of places and battles. - Cha: 8: As I mentioned before he's just kind of there in the movies, doesn't really talk too much. He may be more charismatic in the comics/cartoons, but I don't know much about those. Class(es) - Sun Soul Monk: Basically, Cyclopse's blasts are described as "a powerful beam of concussive, ruby-colored force from his eyes. Cyclops' powers come from ambient energies (such as solar radiation, photons, and cosmic rays) absorbed and metabolized by his body into concussive blasts that are released from his eyes." (Marvel Database). "Blasts of energy" and "Solar" sounds an awful lot like sun soul monk to me so I'm guessing between 6 to 10 levels of Sun Soul monk to get Radiant Sun Bolt and Searing Arc Strike as well as a decent supply of Ki points. - Champion fighter to get Unarmed fighting, some skills, and better crits on his blasts. - Scout Rogue to get even more skills. Okay Tulok, show me the Centaur Wizard/Sorcerer!

Hm, I would get more Fighter levels instead of all the Sorcerer ones. First because we wouldn't use most of the new spells anyway and second because I'm a huge sucker for Battle Master. But, hey, thank you for bringing my favorite X-Man to the spotlight!!

I know you did unarmed fighting because Scott can also punch things But I think blind fighting might be better and more in character for Scott. He’s specifically trained to fight blind if it’s not safe to open his eyes, and now you don’t need to invest in strength so much. Scott really isn’t that much of a puncher anyways, and being able to detect an invisible enemy 10 feet away is more useful than the punching.

I'd love to see a boxing build. Ippo or balrog are both good characters for it but I think little mac is a very good choice. Could be interesting to do a punching build that avoids monks. If you really didnt want pure fighter you could dip a level or two into barbarian for Giga Mac

It satisfies me that people say Scott is one of the more boring characters. When I was young and first introduced to Cyclops through the James Marsden version I loved him because of his confidence, leadership and what I thought were laser beams. Laser beams are cool to a 10 year old, what can I say? The more I grew up and researched comic book lore I was fascinated by the action hero he could be - he's a skilled strategist, martial artists and pilot, which are all "groovy", as James McAvoy would say. Then you've got his personal life. He's a super-powerful badass with a super-powerful badass girlfriend/wife, the leader of a super-powerful badass team and has very strong morality. At the same time, his strict morality makes him really intriguing because he routinely sells his friends and loved ones down the river whenever he hears that there is patriotism to be had. He's a shocking father, a chronic-cheater, has heavily sheltered emotions and so much more going on beneath the surface that makes him a really messed up dude that can barely tell which way is up sometimes. Whilst I don't have any of his skills and I haven't done any of the things he has done, I can relate to how he struggles and that's made me love the character from childhood to now

If we want a generic Kaiju build, Duergar Rune Knight Fighter w/unarmed fighting to reach Gargantuan size class (If you're not a duergar, you can only get to huge without help), could work for a kong build, if it's a really hairy duergar.
