5:17 funny thing with making the patron based on great sage, since great sage is a skill it's a part of rimuru's very soul so you basically made his patron himself.
7:10 the seemingly bottomless pit of magic originally stems from the (true)dragon he ate. true dragons in tensura being something akin to natural forces given form and mind
I'm surprised that druid's wildshape or polymorph wasn't mention in the video since he was able to take the forms and traits of monsters he eaten really early in the story. With the trait part being done with magic works but I understand ignoring wildshape/polymorph since Rimuru mainly used it as an intimidation tool.
Note for Coffelocks: Removing the need for sleep DOES NOT remove your need for long rests. Page 78 of xanathar’s guide to everything (the same book that aspect of the moon is from) states that after every 24hr period that you spend without finishing a long rest, you must succeed on a progressively harder constitution saving throw or gain a point of exhaustion. 6 points of exhaustion is lethal.
This is fantastic. I would like to request Archer EMIYA too. I like seeing everyone's take on how to build him. I came away with Bard sorcerer being one option and blade singer being another.
My take on Emiya Is Hexblade 3/ Swords Bard 6+ , make his thrown/shooting blades as Eldritch Blast , improved pact of the blade for his weapon usage and being Charisma based because of his Unholy Rizz
Can you do Katarina Claes from the "My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!"? I really wanna do an Isekai campaign & ship her with Rimaru.
I know how long it's been since this was posted, but a funny little thing for mid level campaigns, would be abberant mind sorcerer, specifically it's 6th level feature Psionic Sorcery, allowing you to cast any of the spells from your Psionic Spells list, which you can swap out with other divination/enchantment wizard,sorcerer or warlock spells every level up, for sorcery points equal to it's level.
This is not *entirely* true. Rimuru’s wings aren’t actually a part of his body. They’re a manifestation created through magicules. Tasha’s Otherworldly Guise would fit Rimuru incredibly well in this regard. This would also relieve any necessity to multiclass into martial classes for his weapon prowess. (So long as your DM lets you learn proficiencies through study.)
Glad I found (and decided to watch) this. I have a dragon character that's meant to be like a divine mage of sorts, with a wide selection of spells and nearly limitless uses, while still being decent in close combat or stealth situations. This vid gives me some better ideas for accurately putting him in D&D, though it won't quite be a carbon copy of this Rimuru build.
This is so helpful! Is there also a lv1 version of the character sheet? I'm not to familiar with warlocks and sorcerers, so having a lv1 version instead of skimming the lv20 document and cutting out the non needed stuff would be real helpful.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on a Cid Kageno/Shadow build from the eminence in shadow and while I like this build I’m a bit disappointed that you didn’t put anything for his swordsmanship. I understand that Rimuru is mainly a caster but he isn’t lacking in sword skills either making him more of a magic swordsman but that said I understand that the rules cannot really allow you to do everything and this is a great example of Rimuru for dnd.
Warlock (Great Old One Patron) + Divine Soul Sorcerer is a great Multiclass build for Rimuru. I don’t agree with going good though. That is the more Angelic path. Rimuru was a Demon Lord for crying out loud. He would be more like an evil path. Even if he wasn’t innately evil.
He's a bit of both tho considering half of his ultimate skills are named after angels, I.e uriel, Raphael. Also that in tensura demon Lords and demons are entirely separate entities for the most part. Some demon Lords are actual demons but most aren't. Also one of the demon Lords is literally a god.
@@dndbuilds toying with my build, you still get 9th level spell slots as it is only one level in Fighter. You just don't get the consistant regenerating spell slots or healing spells, but Rimuru rarely fights alone anyway (usually he's only one part of a larger group with him focusing on the largest, toughest enemy).
@@dillonchaddick695 yeah, I meant if I were to still keep the 3 levels of warlock for the CoffeeLock build... But another alternative is to take pact of the blade, then you're automatically proficient with whatever weapon you turn into your pact weapon
Okay, I'm going to allow it because Rimuru is canonically overpowered, but Aspect of the Moon does not remove the need to take Long Rests, only the need for sleep. You still need to take long rests to not eventually die of exhaustion. Everyone always points to Aspect of the Moon for Coffeelock builds, but RAW it doesn't work.
I think Rimuru should be a Draconic Warlock (Since Veldora is the one who give him power/name. Maybe a little homebrew) and Aberrant Mind Sorcerer (Great Sage was there since he was a slime)
I rolled a Nat 20 on my history check to recall the location of a beholder, the bard convinced him to go against "the ooze who claims to be stronger than him", once the magic is gone, let martials of the party shine. If it bleeds, we can kill it, if it doesn't we can find a way.
Technically speaking you couldn't use catnap with this because 1st of all its a spell that's magically puts you to sleep, which you can't do, second of all it's concentration and if you fall asleep whilst casting it your concentration would run out, so you can't use it on yourself
The thing is, you still need to take a long rest or you take a point of exhaustion. The invocation says you don't need sleep, but you still need a long rest because you're not immune to exhaustion. Sorcerer warlock can't be the coffeelock not even RAW. Still a good multiclass though
That was actually a rule I think they added later to combat people building coffee locks so it depends on if people use that rule (which frankly I would use the rule if I was dming lol it just makes more sense realistically)
@DnD Builds that's definitely fair, and I run long rests like this. Sorcerer warlocks are fun, my favorite multiclass in the game the Paladin Sorcerer. They're very fun and really let's you feel like you can do such much as a tank, middle of the pack support, or in some builds a really strong blaster from the back
It is an _Optional_ rule from Xanathar's Guide, even then there is no rule on number of short rests you can take in a day other than the time required. As soon as you can cast 5th level spells it becomes moot as _Greater Restoration_ fixes exhaustion.
I am only as far as the manga, so absorb elements and shield for when he absorbs the attacks. Maybe Hunger of Hadar, but a shame because Ravenous Void would be best. The trump card move "I'm gonna eat it".
I have a few problems with this build and ways to fix them. 1st: Ok Aspect of the Moon is useless it specifically states you don't need to sleep. In DnD there is a ruling that just because your character doesn't need to sleep doesn't mean they don't need to take a rest, aka a long rest. Fix: Just be a 9th level Divine Soul Sorcerer, take the Greater Restoration Spell and use it to get rid of your level of Exhaustion after you don't rest for the evening very simple however it does mean it takes a little bit longer to get the Sorlock active. This variant of Sorlock is actually referred to as the Cocainelock. 2nd: Catnap is useless, sure it allows you to get a Short Rest in just 10 minutes. Guess what, it only works once per long rest meaning once you use that spell you can never use it again meaning that guess what you have wasted a spell that you can know as again guess what as a Sorcerer you only get 15 spells. Fix: Don't take the Catnap spell and replace it with counterspell so that we can replicate the magic jammer skill that Rimuru gets later on. Also start off with Divine Soul Sorcerer go 9 levels into it and then take 1 level in Warlock either Great Old One or Hexblade, only choose Hexblade if you're looking for complete and utter optimization but for flavour I would pick Great Old One as inherently a Cocainelock is the epidemy of optimization and when you play one the DM and everyone at the table will either hate you or enjoy the time you guys play together depending on how that group works. A cool build idea for Rimuru I like is 16 Level Divine Soul Sorcerer/2 Great Old One Warlock/2 Fighter STR: 8 DEX: 13 + 1 = 14 CON: 13 + 1 = 14 INT: 9 WIS: 14 CHA: 15 + 1 = 16 Fighter gives us action surge which is an ability that recovers on a short rest and gives us an additional action so that with a first action we could say cast fireball and our second one we can cast blink. Granted we do only get 1 use however with this in mind we could put on breast plate so that our AC would be 16 since breastplate has a base of 14 and allows us to add our DEX mod at a max of +2. We could take a shield as well giving us 18 AC and we haven't even talked about magic items but I'm getting ahead of myself. Since you start off with sorcerer your saving throw proficiencies will be for CON and CHA not Since you start off with sorcerer your saving throw proficiencies will be for CON and CHA not since you start off with sorcerer your saving throw proficiencies will be for CON and CHA and not CHA and WIS you will have better concentration saves. Since you're starting off with 9 levels of Sorcerer you can get your CHA to 20 much faster. You can get your CHA to 20 at 8th level. At 10th level you'll be ready to start off the process for infinite magic, start off simply by taking short rests when your party is taking long rests to just have more spell slots than your party. Once you get some downtime(preferably a week or longer) that's when you simply lock yourself in your room until you are forced to leave by your party and just so that you don't have to do the calculations for a week of downtime just ask your DM if you could have infinite spell slots as you would probably have so many that it would be like having an infinite amount(sadly not quite at most you can get 25 5th level slots and 1 1st level slot and that would leave you without any sorcery points so you might as well just only take 24 by the way this isn't calculating the 7 you have to take away for not sleeping so you have about 17 after taking away(by the way I'm doing this calculations based on when you're level 10)) 5th level slots or try to separate the spell slots so that you have more of each level. I know this build seems slow and that's because it is, you can't really gain infinite spell slots quickly in DnD 5e due to the whole stipulation. However if you get a whole year of downtime that is amazing as then you could make the argument that you could have so many spell slots I might as well put down infinite(you get about 886 5th level spells slots and yes this time it is including the 365 you have to subtract and again this is going off if you're level 10)
5:17 funny thing with making the patron based on great sage, since great sage is a skill it's a part of rimuru's very soul so you basically made his patron himself.
Which is even better!!!
7:10 the seemingly bottomless pit of magic originally stems from the (true)dragon he ate. true dragons in tensura being something akin to natural forces given form and mind
It was definitely a struggle to not go with a Dragon Sorcerer for that exact reason... but I needed the healing
I am once again, suggesting content involving "Mutants and Masterminds" With your creativity you could make builds that go insane.
As much as I would love to, it might require me to do a whole new channel for it... since that UA-cam algorithm hates change lol
@@dndbuilds That is very true. But on the other hand you can start a monopoly on different ttrpg systems and builds for them lol

Thank you ever so much! I wasn't expecting this, but I am so happy you did this!
I'm glad you were hoping for it, I'd gotten tons of requests for Rimuru, so I thought it was about time I finally made them
This is fantastic. I would like to request Archer EMIYA too. I like seeing everyone's take on how to build him. I came away with Bard sorcerer being one option and blade singer being another.
I imagine something with Eldritch Knight fighter and a cleric (maybe forge). Because you need blade barrier and boomerang swords.
My take on Emiya Is Hexblade 3/ Swords Bard 6+ , make his thrown/shooting blades as Eldritch Blast , improved pact of the blade for his weapon usage and being Charisma based because of his Unholy Rizz
7:58 SPOILERS for the tensura(slime) light novel
you have no idea how fitting it is to give rimuru divine soul
I have a small idea lol
I'd go with the Draconic Sorcerer - Wizard Bladesinger multiclass, but thanks for the ideas
14 Draconic Sorcerer + 6 Wizard Bladesinger?

If we're talking about strictly mechanics I think winged tiefling with infernal Constitution would fit Rimaru Tempest vary well
Yeah I think the mechanics of that would be perfect, but it's hard not to go with a plasmoid when they are a slime
This is not *entirely* true. Rimuru’s wings aren’t actually a part of his body. They’re a manifestation created through magicules. Tasha’s Otherworldly Guise would fit Rimuru incredibly well in this regard.
This would also relieve any necessity to multiclass into martial classes for his weapon prowess. (So long as your DM lets you learn proficiencies through study.)
i have no idea where to put what its completely overloading my brain
Great Sage could be a sentient magic item like "Profesor Orb" or "Docent" (but without the race prerequisite).

Great video, could you do Gilgamesh - Archer from Fate/Stay please.

Hurray for Discord :D
You should try making the lamb from Cult of the Lamb!
This is a fire build bro 10/10
I actually already have a Rimuru build and I went with a Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer with one level in Fighter to be able to use a sword.
I was tempted to grab a level of fighter, for the same reason, but I really wanted that 9th level spell slot

Nat 20 on being the cutest monster ever
I think Rimuru should be a Draconic Warlock (Since Veldora is the one who give him power/name. Maybe a little homebrew) and Aberrant Mind Sorcerer (Great Sage was there since he was a slime)
I would have homebrewed an attack called "Predator", based on his skill, it lets you eat any monster with less than 10 hp if you get close enough
my friend will love it
Great!!!
Hi I was wondering if you could build a D&D character for “Kumoko's” from “So I'm a Spider, So What?”(manga/anime)
I rolled a Nat 20 on my history check to recall the location of a beholder, the bard convinced him to go against "the ooze who claims to be stronger than him", once the magic is gone, let martials of the party shine.
If it bleeds, we can kill it, if it doesn't we can find a way.
He'll do natsu one day... one day...
I will, one day, he just didn't win the vote this time, only lost by 2 votes actually
One of this days I think a hero system so you can go hard on this broken characters that are built better for that system
Would you be able to make a madara build? This build is awsome btw
Technically speaking you couldn't use catnap with this because 1st of all its a spell that's magically puts you to sleep, which you can't do, second of all it's concentration and if you fall asleep whilst casting it your concentration would run out, so you can't use it on yourself
Nice,but if the DM don't allows Coffeelock how to pull this of?
Making Rimuru his own patron makes sense if you read all of the light novel chapters, lmao
Please can you do an Asura from Asura's Wrath build in DnD?
I might have to actually play that game before I give it a shot
@@dndbuilds please do it the game is a masterpiece
next build should be erza scarlet from fairy tail or sabretooth from marvel

Fun fact: Rimeru is super intellegent.
why not Dark Schneider from Bastard !

Plssss do John Constantine
