    For a doomslayer build, I would imagine going human variant (tavern brawler). Then going in the least likely direction of artificer for your (cantrips for different damage types{tangent: get booming blade and green flame blade for your punches) guns and (spells and actual thrown weapons {tangent idea for you: get alchemist fire,caltrops, and lantern oil. Combined together and tied with rope makes a mean Molotov cocktail}) grenades. Get to 3rd lvl for your doom slayer armor with the UA Armorer subclass. Go with guardian for even better punches and temp hp. Swap to paladin for the next 3 lvls for smites, fighting style, health, and go vengeance for your vow of enmity. Now swap back to artificer for you sick abilities but thats about it, perhaps a look at magic initiate wizard for extra guns but yeah.

    An interesting play on this could be going for Celestial Warlock. Yeah you lose the fun Hexblade spells, but you get Shield with Sorc, so it's not all bad. And your healing stuff will be a touch more useful via Divine Soul. So you'll be an Aasimar, with Celestial Chosen heritage in your blood, who's also getting direct aid from your Celestial boss.

  • @JikuAraiguma
    @JikuAraiguma 3 роки тому +2

    I love your work, and I am a bit late to the party here. I also love the story of doom.
    I also wrote up a character sheet for mr. doomy-doom doom man doom.
    It's a bit different from what you show here, I hope that you think it is up to par. Text wall ahead.
    Before we begin, a couple of caveats. I like giving wiggle room for character creation. With that in mind, I'll be including some of my own house rules for character creation in this build. These include the following:
    -When multi-classing, you get 1 of the class's skill proficiencies.
    -You get two extra feats from the get-go.
    -You can use any of the supplementary materials for 5e to realize your build.
    With all that out of the way, let's get started!
    For stats, I'll be using the standard point array as a base. We're gonna dump Intelligence because, while the character isn't an idiot, a lot of the things he does don't require the thinky-thinky. The starting stat array is as follows:
    STR 15
    DEX 14
    CON 10
    INT 8
    WIS 12
    CHA 13
    For the race, I chose Variant Human, giving +1 to Strength and Wisdom. Now we can already multiclass into all the necessary classes. Chosen languages are Common and Dwarven (Don't know why Dwarven, he doesn't talk a lot, but hey, more languages.) For the feat, I chose Tough to make up for the lacking Constitution at this point. That will be fixed later on. Skill proficiency, choose Investigation. This guy may not do a whole lot of thinking, but he's good at finding secrets.
    For Background, I chose Haunted One from Curse of Strahd. Skill Proficiencies are Religion and Survival. For the flavor of the trinket, I chose Rabbit's Foot. Haunted One has a feature called Heart of Darkness. It's flavor suggests that people are just automatically afraid of you. If there were such a thing, I would say that that sounds like passive intimidation. If such a thing were to exist, I'd say that it would be calculated as 10+ your Intimidation modifier. People run when they see this guy.
    For the last bit of pre-class character prep, let's choose the 2 house-rule feats. I choose Crossbow Expert and Magic Initiate. For Initiate, I chose the Sorcerer spell list to get the Firebolt and Sword Burst cantrips and the 1st level Chaos Bolt spell.
    Now on to the build proper. We start this big boy off with Paladin, getting his gear. His weapons are a hand axe, hand crossbow, and heavy crossbow. The Skill Proficiencies from this are Athletics and Intimidation. Paladin level 1 gets Divine Sense and Lay on Hands. Basically you have a healing pool and you can smell when some higher or lower power is near. Spoiler alert: This guy isn't known for healing people.
    2nd level of Paladin gets us spellcasting, Divine Smite, and a fighting style. The style I chose for this was Close Quarters Shooter from Unearthed Arcana. This removes the disadvantage of shooting something between the eyes at point-blank, allows you to ignore partial cover, and gives you +1 to ranged attack rolls. Divine Smite allows you to expend spell slots to add radiant damage to your weapon attacks. The damage is 2d8+1d8 for every level above 1st, and there is a bonus 1d8 if you hit an undead or fiend. As for spells, I'll cover them all in a lump at the end.
    3rd level Paladin gets Divine Health, granting disease immunity, and the Paladin's Oath. This boy has the Oath of Vengeance. Oath of Vengeance gets access to some extra spells that suit the revenge flavor. We won't be using too many of these, though. This also gets you your Channel Divinity with Abjure Enemy and Vow of Enmity. Abjure Enemy puts the fear of God - or of you - into your enemies within 60ft of you if they fail a Wisdom Save, making them unable to move and shit themselves until they take damage. Vow of Enmity lets you get advantage to attack a visible target within 10 ft.
    Next we start Multiclassing. Time for the first level of Ranger. House rules, we take skill proficiency in Animal Handling. The guy may be a walking apocalypse, but he's got a soft spot for the cute and fuzzies. First level of Ranger gets Favored Enemy and Natural Explorer. Explorer has a lot of helpful things for traveling, like ignoring difficult terrain, having advantage in initiative rolls, and a whole bunch of other goodies, I advise checking it out if you don't know Rangers. Favored Enemy lets you select a type of enemy to gain bonuses against. Our choice is Undead. The bonuses you get to them are +2 to weapon damage, advantage on survival checks when tracking them, and Intelligence checks to know about them. You also gain proficiency in another language associated with your favored creature, if they have one, or just another language. We'll go with Abyssal, I suppose because it kinda makes sense flavor-wise.
    2nd level we get another fighting style, went with Archer. You gain a +2 to ranged weapon attack rolls. You also get Ranger spellcasting.
    Ranger Level 3 gets us Primeval Awareness and the Ranger Conclave of our choice. Primeval awareness allows you to understand the needs and feelings of your fuzzy friends as well as sense the presence of your favored enemy and learn information about them if they are within 5 miles of you. For the Conclave we are selecting the Monster Slayer. This conclave also gets some interesting extra spells, but again, they won't be seeing all that much use. Monster Slayers get Hunter's Sense and Slayer's Prey. Hunter's Sense lets you figure out how to hurt things better and Slayer's Prey lets you hurt things HARDER.
    We're going to multiclass again into Fighter. House rules, we get our final skill proficiency, Perception. Immediately, we get our third and final Fighting Style. We're taking Unarmed Fighting from Unearthed Arcana. You punch as hard as swords swing and suplex harder. You can also punch things you've got grappled even harder. You also get Second Wind, letting you stay alive that much longer.
    2nd level of Fighter gives us Action Surge, letting you take more actions.
    3rd level of Fighter gives the Martial Archetype, I chose Battle Master because this guy schmoves. Battle Master gets Student of War - proficiency with artisan's tools of your choice, I chose cartography because again, finding secrets (though yes you could go with Caligraphy tools) - and Combat Superiority. This give you access to Maneuvers and Superiority Die - in our case d8's - to do those Maneuvers with. We'll go with Lunging Attack, Maneuvering Attack, and Riposte. It's all about the Schmovin' and Groovin', if by "Groovin'" you mean "Maiming horribly", that is. I advise looking up maneuvers if you want to learn more.
    For the next 3 levels, you could take the 4th level of any of the classes in any order. This give a whopping 3 Ability Score Increases. We'll use this to get Wisdom, Charisma, and Constitution all up to 14. Finally, some constitution. We are also never touching Fighter again.
    5th level of both Paladin and Monster Slayer Ranger give Extra Attack, so we're taking them for the next 2 levels. Hooray for hitting things more in addition to harder and better.
    We're back to decisions being important again, so we're taking 6th level Ranger's Greater Favored Enemy. If you haven't caught on by now, the next enemy type we choose is Fiends. You now get a +4 to damage on all of our favored enemies, and you gain advantage on saving throws against this enemy type.
    7th level of Ranger grants Supernatural Defense. You get a d6 added to your saving throws against targets of your Slayer's Prey ability.
    Our 8th and final level of Ranger gives us another Ability Score Improvement, putting our Strength up to 18 now, and Fleet of Foot, allowing for the use of the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn. Schmoves.
    6th level of Paladin gives us Aura of Protection. A friendly creature within 10ft of you gains +1 or your Charisma mod, whichever is higher, on saving throws while you are conscious.
    7th level of Vengeance Paladin grants Relentless Avenger. When you hit with an Opportunity Attack, you can move up to half your speed right afterwards as a reaction. This doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity.
    The final level of this build is 8th level of Paladin, granting the last Ability Score Increase and putting our guy's strength at 20. Beefy boy.
    Okay, spell list. For Casting ability, you have both Wisdom for Ranger and Charisma for Paladin, but since they are equal for this character, it doesn't really matter. These are the spells I chose for this guy:
    Detect Good and Evil
    Hunter's Mark
    Jump
    Wrathful Smite
    Branding Smite
    Blinding Smite
    Flame Arrow
    Lightning Arrow
    Staggering Smite
    With all that said and done, let's summarize the character. He's a tough guy that's good at finding secrets, has a soft spot for animals, slays fiends and undead with a vengeance, likes his ranged weapons but is good with his fists, can move around the battlefield, and tears through his hellborne enemies.
    If you aren't fond of the idea of a crossbow, real ass weapons do exist in this game, they are in the DMG, can't remember what page though. Somewhere to look for a more authentic rip and tear experience.

  • @KageRyuu6
    @KageRyuu6 4 роки тому +26

    If you're relying on heavy armor as a Doomslayer, you're doing something wrong.
    First line of defense, don't get hit, second, armor, third, health, forth, rip and tear, last, be so angry that you refuse to die.
    To that end, Dex, Con, Str, Wis, Cha, then Int, for AC++, HP, carry weight/melee, will save, intimidate, and because his solution to everything is just breaking shit.
    As for abilities, none of them are innate besides a slightly above average punch and uncompromising rage, they're just tools.
    To that end make him Human, because that's what he is, give him Tavern Brawler for those above average punches and glory kills, and Crossbow Expert for point blank rapid fire xbow, Sharpshooter for why the fuck not, Eldritch Knight for normal Fighter stuff and Magic Item Attunement, and Berserker for Mindless Rage. The rest is external, be it magic weapons, wands, runes, or even his healing which comes from the Praetor armor or health packs.
    So assuming level 20 cap, 14 Eldritch Knight / 6 Berserker with a bunch of magic items/wands is how Doomslayer is meant to be played. Because lets be frank, he's not Doomslayer if he's getting scared or mind controlled by demons.

    Can't help but occasionally glance at the Path Of The Doom Slayer homebrew subclass I found awhile ago though.
    Obligatory "Vegeta When"

    Not doing barbarian, maybe the real rage is the power building we did along the way

    honestly i like it better when you forgo the expected classes in favor of something more creative. no anger, i am perfectly satisfied (please do an isabelle build though that would be awesome)

    You'd basically start off as a lvl 20 goliath barbarian with modern weapons
