Anime Characters as D&D Characters v2.0

[Jack_McSnatch]

Oh aptitude is a warblade thing. Actually, my Kenshin build stays away from ToB classes. You can make all the optimization arguments you like, Kenshin isn't a martial adept, he's a mundane, and that's what makes him awesome.

Evangeline mcdowell from negima.

I got a build from another playgrounder whose name escapes me at the moment. When i find it will post.


Necropolitan illumin
Cloistered cleric 1/ sorcerer 4/ frost mage 4/ winterhaunt of igboru 8/ metaphysical spell shaper 3.

Slaymate with a half golem template applied for the doll.

It's just a weapon enhancement, for Pelor's sake.

I missed some posts, and read this one out of context... I thought you were statting Alucard

Lol, I found this amusing. But no, that build would be bad for Alucard for multiple reasons. For starters, Chevalier has a "Good" alignment prereq that I'm not sure is appropriate to backwards Dracula; secondly, what little knowledge I have of that character indicates that he's dangerous not necessarily because he could kill anything in six seconds of bullet storm, but because he's freaking unkillable. I can't recall exactly what Con this guy had, but it was probably 20 (14+6 from item), so we'd be looking at ~214.5 HP on average, or up to 300 with maximum HD rolls...and their AC wasn't anything particularly impressive. No fast healing, limited DR...the defenses that build had were saves and immunities, to protect it from passive/reactive effects (since the purpose was to see if I could make a build that could kill anything from the Bestiary in the surprise round, not make a well-rounded character).

[Âmesang]

I don't think you can do that much damage post-errata for the dual-barreled pistols, though. Ah well...

Bit of a tangent: If I remember Doom II, wasn't the double-barreled ("super") shotgun more damaging than the rocket launcher at close range?

Not familiar with that game, so I couldn't say. Sorry *shrug*

It does sound like the kind of weird thing that would happen in a video game, though.

Well he's a vampire, so his con should technically be nonexistant

[AvatarVecna]

I was referring to my build's Con, which was neither a vampire nor an Alucard homage. I was explaining multiple ways in which it is a poor Alucard build, and this is among the reasons, yes.

It's both actually



Sometimes he's shoot you, sometimes he'll impale you on a flag post 20 feet off the ground.

Being unkillable is mostly used for showing off.

I feel like at this point discussing Alucard in 3.PF could be a thread in and of itself.

If it hasn't been before, it is now.

Well, if you have any luck with the character sheet, post it here!

[hector212121]

Alucard could possibly be statted by making a minor/major artifact that can cast a negative energy equivalent to Breath of Life that obtains 1 charge whenever he kills someone....with no upper limit to it. *shrug*

[dysprosium]

I know it is homebrew but I believe the ozodrin could be used to replicate some of Alucard's abilities.

[Xaroth]

So! Back on track?

[zergling.exe]

Indeed, any further speculation on Alucard should go here.

[Xaroth]

Just a post to revive the thread. Has anybody tackled Alphonse Elric? I'm interested in how him being a suit of armor would be handled, no doubt full-plate armor that's been possessed, right? How would the possession be handled?

[hector212121]

Maybe a Awakened Construct Animated Object?

[Xaroth]

Hm, perhaps. Where is the Awakened Construct template? Assuming it's a template.

[Muggins]

I haven't seen the series, but wouldn't he basically be a reskinned Warforged?

This seems to be the most straightforward approach to creating Al, the real question is how to replicate FMA style alchemy.

Perhaps through levels in Artificer, or Artificer-like classes?

[hector212121]

Fabricate as a Spell-Like Ability, of course, along with interpreting it as allowing you to work with the elements in what you touch.

[Braininthejar2]

Making an animated giant fist out of rock by rapidly stoneshaping the floor is more than fabricate could do, but fabricate is definitely a start...

EDIT: The more I look at Al's faceplate, the more I'm convinced that he was the original inspiration for warforged.



I was trying to tackle Franky the cyborg, but I can't seem to find a way to make him a large, templated humanoid. Does anyone have any ideas?

[Muggins]

Would a permanency'd Enlarge Person or Incarnate'd Expansion work?

[Braininthejar2]

perhaps? It would be dispellable though, which is a bit silly.

The guy is basically a renegade mastermaker, who kept adding mechanical bits onto himself until he gained a size category.

EDIT: incarnum magic is something I haven't tried yet...

[Muggins]

You could make him a half-giant?

[Braininthejar2]

That would give him powerful build, not actual large size - enough for the pre-timeskip version, but not for the current one. (powerful build in itself is cool though - he does regularly use weapons one size larger - It just that it's supposed to be "large guy with huge weapons)



EDIT: There was a trick for making pictures smaller. How to do that?

[Muggins]

The racial versions of Half-Ogre give Large size. Maybe you're thinking of the template from Dragon Magazine, but I can't say; I don't have that edition.

I might see if Saitama is theoretically possible. Might not. Stay tuned.
