See, my first thought was Rocket from Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, but thinking about it I'm not sure it'd be a good fit. I mean he's a slime what is stretchy, but his feats outside of tank summoning seem kinda more along strength than durability (being able to smash through walls and carry up to 3 slime tons).

This could make for a funny rivalry between the monk and barbarian as both try to out-last each other. The Barbarian gets insecure about the puny, scrawny monk just tanking heavy blows and the monk gets annoyed by the Barbarian showboating his muscles. Oath of Brilliance sounds fucking awesome! I believe in MYSELF so much that I get superpowers! Simon from Tengen Toppa, Gladiator from Marvel and Vegeta from Dragonball say, 'hi!"
@@marcgregory3290 No, typical Paladins believe in ideals or gods beyond themselves. By striving to embody those ideals or divine commandments (via their tenants), the Paladins self-improve and get powers. Oath of Brilliance seemingly cuts out the middle man and has the paladin just believe in themselves.
The Wire Weaver was inspired and this is just as brilliant. A sticky sentinel monk is just a nightmare even without the ability to slither while prone. Love the capstone ability. Absolutely terrifying and pretty much makes up for the loss of the increased movement speed by getting a teleport option you could extend over 100 feet if willing to dump the points
Do you ever think of creating a full book with these classes with these kinds of commentary as if it were written by this Tulok the Barbarian who has studied all these things (ie Volo/Mordekaiser's you get the gist)? I would buy it in a heartbeat. The way you talk about this is fascinating and the class ideas are super cool so I'd love to add a full production to my shelf!
@@ramenmacaroni2081 Yes but that's just an announcement of this youtube video series. The question is if Tulok would bundle his (Patreon-exclusive) homebrew in a pdf and sells that on DMsGuild or something.
Not to mention if you feel sceptical about sacrificing the extra speed, you can always pick up the mobile feat. You get an extra 10 feet of movement (all kinds of movement not just walking), the dash action doesn't cost extra movement on difficult terrain, and no opportunity attacks from a creature you hit for the rest of the turn. Mobile feels like an appropriate feat for the gelatinous monk
Mobile is practically a feat tax to play any monk to be able to actually make use of their speed, so for gelatinous monk it works out to be more of a "still nice to have" instead of must have.
@@Shalakor i mean... thats kind of the point of Step of the Wind. Like... i know it sucks to lose your bonus action attack, but i feel like getting to just outright Disengage, rather than only getting to avoid the people you specifically hit tends to outweigh the loss of a single punch. Like, yes. Mobile is fantastic. But i feel like calling it anywhere close to mandatory is a bit much.
@@ultimateninjaboi Step of the Wind costs a Ki point, so you're more realistically losing at least two punches, but, also competing with things like Stunning Strike attempts and other class/subclass features. And, Mobile still works even when you miss attacks and even when you're out of Ki, so it's super clutch when things go south. You might not even know you're in over your head until after you've used Flurry of Blows only to miss every target due to bad luck. Plus, Mobile is even synergistic with the Dash usage of SotW, so no longer using it as often for disengage still doesn't make it irrelevant. Obviously, it's not necessary, but the greater resource efficiency is Highly appreciated when trying to fill the intended battlefield control role of the Monk, spreading out your attacks to Stun more targets and/or due to subclass features. Like, improved movement isn't really as helpful of a *passive* boon if you have to *actively* bleed a ki point every turn you want to use it. Of course, if you successfully Stun everything, don't need either one of them anymore.
The way of the pudding monk seems the perfect way to make a warrior with the body to be malleable enough to fight the odds, that kind of determination is worthy of legends (and with calligraphy is worthy of becoming a god) That power is maybe what is needed to get a Tangle the lemur build from the Tulok, i will become one with the slime if is necessary to gain their godly power and achieve this simple goal!
I love ooze-based archetypes. This was a delightful implementation of it. Plus, mentioning the gooey dog possibility reminds me of my Simic hybrid druid, but with the "all his wild shapes are protoplasmic" fluff having some crunch to back it up. Great work all around!
I don't think this is good for Luffy. Luffy is too mobile and has ranged melee options. Try the "Exploring Eberron" document by one of the Eberron writers. There's a monk subclass called living weapon and it lets you spend ki for more reach
@@STORMB999 i thought that onli a few races could choose that subclass (warforged, changeling, shifter and kalashtar). you could also use way of the astral self, now that i think about it.
@@magistermagus1211 They're defintely written with those races in mind but since the subclass gives you the option to choose a "tradition" and not have it depend on your race, I don't think there's a race restriction. And even if there is, you have already convinced your DM of using homebrew. Asking if you can play that subclass as a human, wouldn't be that much more, right?
Speaking of Homebrew Slime stuff, you can find some rules that someone literally wrote up for a slime race, they're "officially" known as the Jublexian, and come in 3 flavors, you can get the supplement over on DM's Guild. Also, there's a document filled with other slime/ooze subclasses over there, which include a Wizard that can turn themself into an ooze and a Warlock that made a deal with an intelligent ooze. Too bad Jublexian isn't an official race, then you could try to build Rimuru Tempest from That Time I was Reincarnated as a Slime, you could try building the rest of his inner circle but it would feel hollow and rushed if you didn't do Rimuru before everyone else.
Gosh, I've always wanted to like Monk, but they've always felt somewhat underpowered compared to some of the other D&D stuff you can do. This looks like it would be right up my alley!
Edit: Thanks to AetherSpiral Knight for answering my question, the Movie's name is "Malignant". Is an horror film tho. Man, this subclass sounds amazing! like all the ooze/"punisher" flavour it has and it clearly is a "AC doesn't matters" tank. I have one question tho, from the footage actually. What film/Series is that slime woman from? Like, it looks amazing but i CAN'T find any kind of info.
@@aetherspiralknight Finally someone said it. Thank you. Although now learning it was the premiere horror film of the season makes me feel like a fool for not knowing.
Ooze Monk with multiclass in Druid... Two ideas spring into mind, both equally horrifying and awesome! 1. Gummi bears from 'Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs'. 2. "Dashing and daring, courageous and caring Faithful and friendly with stories to share All through the forest they sing out in chorus Marching along as their song fills the air Gummi Bears! Bouncing here and there and everywhere! High adventure that's beyond compare! They are the Gummi Bears!"
If wire weaver was the homebrew class I always wanted this is the one I never knew I needed--until now. Dang this series is way better than I could have hoped for. Now I just to convince my dm to allow these...
I have started playing as a liquid metal warforged, it's amazing. Genuinely love the characterization this has allowed. I'm a Baymax like terminator. It's phenomenal. bless this class for the flexibility it allowed in our steampunk campaign.
Gotta say, my first thought from just the words "ooze monk" was Monkey D Luffy, and it wasn't until the very last subclass ability that anything really clashed with that.
For some reason the entire time I was listening to this I couldn't help but imagine the rendition of how humans would looks if we were meant to survive car crashes.
I'm a HUGE fan of the worldbuilding put into this and the Wire Weaver and can't wait to hear more about this world through the classes. I'm sure if you wanted to make a book of homebrew there'd be an audience for it, whether it be formatted like Tasha's Cauldron of just subclasses, or Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, with more general world lore. I know I'd certainly buy it.
At 7:20 rubber band it back gave me 3 great characters Monkey D. Luffy from One Peice Gum Gum Fruit babyyyyyy The other 2 are probably less known, the Static Shock cartoon Rubberband Man and his brother Ebon both of them stretch like Mister Fantastic or Plastic Man but Ebon is special cause he has shadow abilities so he should probably multiclass with Shadow Sorcerer for some extra nightmare fuel
This is excellent! Incredibly flavor packed stuff. I think a viable alternative to resistance to nonmagical physical damage would be scaling damage reduction, say your proficiency bonus per attack that deals bludgeoning/piercing/slashing. In most cases it probably equals out, but it does keep barbarians stronger against heavy-hitting opponents.
I too would get behind the idea that if you start a kickstarter book with all the homebrew you plan on making, I'm pretty sure you'd get a lot of money for it, especially if other channels were willing to advertise at the beginning of their videosm
Absolutely bonkers!! Love the flavor of this, it'd be so much fun to play! Definitely wanna give this one a go. Thanks for building these, they're awesome!
What I like about these homebrews is they're not the power fantasies that so often come up - "My level one Wizard has 400 hit points and 30 AC with unlimited Wish spells"
From what I can gather, this feels like its biggest weakness is ranged attacks. Specifically spellcasters. Having less speed means you can't catch up to something that can, say, cast Haste or Longstrider on itself and get away from you. Or blast you with Fireball. Sure, against more martial classes, it's going to be easy to tank hits and then make it so they can't go after anyone, or even drain their health down while they flail about at you, but mages are going to be an issue
Hey tulok. Love the vid. Seems like everyone else does too. When I clicked on it it was at 3k views and 0 dislikes. I still want a Riley from awaken online build for my birthday but if that isn’t feasible I’ll take a (maybe) ranger subclass to do the character. Using health to cast spells and a spell to drain life from an opponent continuously over time.
Firstly really cool subversion of a resource the monk has to turn it into HP! And I love that it doesn’t cost Ki to do your thing. Here is my critique. I think it has too many reactions, and I would feel bad not to be able to use slow fall deflect missiles or your two opportunity attacks because you slap the guy who slapped you. Here’s a possible replace meant each time you hit a creature you reduce their speed by 10 feet until the end of their next turn. I think that would be really fun control tool. And if you reduce their speed to zero maybe they’re knocked prone.
Combine this with the Dark Gift: Symbiote from Van Richten's so that you also have an ooze friend who talks to you and lives inside you and you can REALLY be Venom
This is awesome. I love experiencing the out of the box thinking it took to create these. I am really excited about the Mad Scientist subclass my brother and I came up with for Artificer (Think Dr. Frankenstein, or Mister Sinister). I would love to play this through after we test play ours.

Ooooh, this would be perfect for the Sumo Wrestler Monk I want to do.
