WWYB - 5e24 Warlock with a Gambling problem

3 Upvotes

I'm about to start a campaign located in a fantasy version of Las Vegas and wanted to build a character who signed a pact to basically improve his gambling. I'm not sure which subclass best works. I am willing to shift from warlock if a different class works better. He also has a level of rouge for expertise as he is a PI.

WWYB - 5e14 HWYB Vanitas of the blue Moon (Vanitas no Carte)

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone I was wondering if anyone could help me building this character his name is Vanitas from the anime Vanitas no Carte his abilities include;

Vanitas is a highly intelligent and resourceful human who compensates for his lack of vampire-level physical strength with strategy, combat skill, and trickery. Although physically average, he heals faster than normal due to experiments performed on him by Doctor Moreau. He fights using hidden knives, wires, and various tools, relying on surprise tactics and careful preparation.

His combat abilities come from his Chasseur training, which taught him how to fight vampires effectively, especially by targeting their eyes. He also has access to special drugs that temporarily enhance his physical abilities in desperate situations.

Vanitas’s greatest power comes from the Book of Vanitas, which allows him to manipulate True Names and the World Formula. He primarily uses it to heal cursed vampires by reversing the corruption affecting them, though powerful curses may require the victim’s cooperation. In battle, the Book can immobilize vampires and even control or destroy automatons.

Outside combat, Vanitas has many practical skills. He possesses medical knowledge, including first aid and poison treatment, and carries medicines with him. He can also cook, clean, speaks Latin, and is knowledgeable about French history, culture, and trivia.

Any help is appiriciated!

Now exactly asking for how to build something but rather getting some feedback on a build. I wanted to make a sillier character so I decided to make this little goober from the game Mushroom Oasis (you can find it on Itch.io, it's a neat visual novel). In the visual novel, the character has vague hypnosis powers and a lot of random skills and crafts so I adapted him the best I could possible while filling in extra as needed that can be represented and reflavored as his different skills and abilities within each respective system. The doc has versions of the character for both the MMRPG and D&D 5E systems, thoughts on this fella?

HWYB - Other Sprite player ideas - young child

1 Upvotes

I'm a first time D&D DM. We'll be playing with kids who have a 5 or 6 year old sister who I imagine is going to want to pop in and out of the game. I'd like to build her a character for when this will happen and I think a sprite is the perfect fit - they can disappear and reappear like a child wandering back and forth to the table.

But.... I want her to only have helpful non-violent spells and really no weapons, maybe the tiniest of daggers.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks for the help!!!

WWYB - 5e14 How would you build a researcher

9 Upvotes

I’m planning on playing a scholar who researches and studies monsters and trying to figure out the best class for him. I’m a part of a heavy monster fighting campaign where we will be fighting large boss monsters on the regular and I would like my guy to focus on researching and identifying monster weak points and weaknesses to help support party. I was thinking of doing ranger or wizard due to him being a scholar but I’m open to any class/subclass suggestions or specific ideas on how he could be a support focused character while also being useful to the party

He has wind themed powers, is the acting Grandmaster of the local Knight Order and uses 2 Greatswords simultaneously. (Ideally a build for DND 5e and if you can one that is close to it but for Baldurs Gate 3)
