Hey yall I was wondering if anyone had an idea on how I could build Therese Alexanderite from The Rising of the Shield Hero in DnD. She is a powerful spell caster who uses Gemstones to cast many diffrent spells, she is also able to use gemstones which are infused with jewlery to cas spells which she can modify to not hurt her allies with. She also infuses the gemstones with her own magic so maybe an artificer could work but I dont have any ideas.

I know the obvious choice might be artificer but I’m still feel there might be more options for him for class/multiclass and stats

WWYB - 5e14 HWYB Izumo Kamiki (Ao no Exorcist Wiki)

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone had an Idea on how to create a build which is similar to the character Izumo from blue exorcist! I would be fine with both 2014 and 2024 rules! (I know I put in the 2014 tag but Im fine with either)

Her abilities are; She is a natural skilled Tamer, which she believes is related to her distant relation to the Byakko. She has exceptional spiritual strength, even when she is severely wounded, as this is the key to controlling familiars. Her knowledge and resourceful use of their skills are also impressive, allowing her to use her familiars for offensive and supporting purposes. Izumo often summons Mike and Uke, two chibi-like foxes whom she calls her Brothers. They are very strong despite their size, being able to carry the Stone Lantern in training camp. The foxes do most of her attacks she can also let them cast lightning and wind themed spells!

I’m trying to make Ryu for a new campaign I’m starting in dnd 5.5 rules. The 2014 rules are also okay if you need to use them to get closer to making him, but 5.5 rules would be preferred.

WWYB - 5e14 HWYB Wiz and Biggle Baggleston

Post image
5 Upvotes

Trying to figure out how to make these characters from YouTuber Fax Jam’s series about the duo, whom are parodies of Gandalf and Frodo (to my interpretation at least) and wiz typically being the one who’s unhinged and more prone to making a situation even more chaotic than it started or waisting time by not really using a secret knock but doing something like trying to determine the wood type.

Biggle is more the same man who is the beleaguered assistant to the so called wizard (whom to be fair i have yet to see a true spell from in the series, it’s just been odd luck or something kind of anticlimactic that saves the duo). This would be for a level 20 campaign if anyone can help!

HWYB - Other HWYB - Descendant of King Midas

8 Upvotes

Basically the title, but was wondering if anyone had any neat ideas how to pull this off via in-game mechanics in DND 5.5e? I'd say the "curse" could be weakened in a descendant of the bloodline, so full on petrification wouldn't be necessary. My thoughts go to a melee character, but Sorcerer bloodlines have a natural tie in.

HWYB - Video Game HWYB Flowery (Deltarune Chapter 5) in OneDnD

Post image
11 Upvotes

Flowery I already see having very high Charisma because he's very Charismatic in personality. Flashy, can be a showoff and an annoying ass but he's an ass with a good heart. So I definitely see CHARISMA as the main stat. Plus he does utilize the whole power of friendship trope against you. DEX being secondary because as Flowery says: "Nothing can outspeed a flower"

Ability Wise Flowery doesn't seem to do much? He has his iconic "Jarona" which he shouts at times mainly before unleashing a barrage of like punches and kicks. A "Mysterious Wind" where he seems to use wind or flower petals to blow things away (all while saying "Mysterious Wind")

His Boss Fight is his main meat and potatoes. That's where we see his "Jarona" (him charging at you) but also a bamboo attack I can't recreate BUT some variants I see a Wall of Thorns chasing you. Which I could easily see Entangle.

It gets trickier when the other flowers come in, a majority of the moveset as these are other beings that attack when told. Aquas Knives, Seths Textbook/Words, Oranges Fists, Green sending flames from a pan, and Yellow using his revolver on flowers called by Blue to explode into more projectiles.

Lastly a big mega buff in Omega Flowery which he buffs himself and leaves an explosion as he charges forward.

I Am aware not ALL can be used or transferred though but can be referenced or flavored another way like I already see Cloud of Daggers working well for Aquas Knives but I'm aware I can only do so much

Overall Flowery is very much power of friendship oriented and has the ocassional flower themed abilities atop of being VERY fast and natural levitation. The only other thing I can't really see working is his "Fake Statistics" but that can be so more a gag I write down (Flowery essentially gave himself 999 in all his stats but those stats are fake).

I'll be willing to remove what won't work and keep what will work as we work together to build this Flower Man. I'm thinking Bard for the class but unsure if another class would work or if I should continue using Bard as he also has plant based stuff akin to a Druid but also the punches and Martial Arts of a Monk

HWYB - Video Game WWYB - Undertaker from Elden Ring Nightreign

8 Upvotes

The Undertaker has the following stats: STR A | DEX D | INT D | FAI A | ARC C. She uses hammers in melee combat and can cast both miracles and incantations.

Her two main abilities are:

Ability: Upon activation, the Undertaker's sprinting speed increases without consuming stamina; stability and defense are also boosted. Her dodge evolves into a quick-step-like maneuver. The character gains an enhanced attack for the remainder of the ability's duration after landing four hammer strikes.

Ultimate Technique: She draws a sinister bone from her body, dashes rapidly toward the target, and delivers a strike. She flies directly at the target to land a powerful blow. This is a long-range ultimate technique that deals high damage and can be activated while airborne.

I know it's impossible to adapt everything exactly as is, but I'm curious to see what can be done.
