Anime Characters as D&D Characters v2.0

[Braininthejar2]

DMG mentions some rules for high tech weapons. Is it cheating to put those on an artificer while considering a build?

Also, can you enchant those like normal weapons?

If they're appropriate to the character you're making then I don't see why it'd be a problem. It's official WotC content.

As for enchantments, they're weapons; unless they say otherwise, you should be able to enchant them just like any other weapon. Enchanting the ammo might require additional work, though (e.g. laser pistols use an energy cell which allows for fifty shots; you'd probably enchant each cell as though it were a stack of 50 arrows). The flamer might be problematic to work out, but otherwise, I see no issue with them.

So far with Dio, I have the following in mind:

• Vampire Human(?)
• 21 levels
• Spell Stowaway(Time Stop)
• Enough levels in a spellcasting class to cast Time Stop
• A few levels in the Vampire template
• Leadership
• Minimum 18 Charisma for 24 Leadership score and 17th level wizard cohort that casts time stop (his Stand)
• Pearl of Power 9th level for cohort

With this, he has a 17th level Stand that would be the one that casts ZA WARUDO Time Stop, which will still affect Dio and allow him to move around too. He has some vampire abilities, not entirely sure how much.

His stand would be the one who truly casts Time Stop upon Dio shouting, as per usual. With the pearl of power his stand gets an additional cast of Time Stop per day. The stand being invisible until Dio calls him forth could be a play on Invisibility?

I dunno. I'm not too experienced but this is just what I have so far. Anyone got any ideas on how to go on further from this? This is a page of Dio's abilities and powers.

Let's see... The World itself is his Familiar/Cohort, and is able to fight itself, similar to how Star Platinum fights. Easily achieved via a buffamancer, so I'd maybe make Dio a Gish and make his Cohort Stand the same. Maybe mirror their spell selection. Also, The World needs to be humanoid, or able to assume a humanoid form, and can fly at will.

Magus and Ninja?

Agreed possible problem for weis is her spell list but using sphere magus will solve or lessen it

Definitely strong candidates for their main classes, but I'm looking into possible one level dipping into other classes to cover any missed abilities. For example, I considered a level dip for Yang into Martial Artist (Monk) or Brawler to pick up Improved Unarmed Strike at 1d6 or Unarmed Fighter (Fighter) for a free Style Feat.

I also came across the Black Cat Feat while reading through possible options for Blake. Works well in covering part of what her semblance does, problem is it's only once per day Ninja tricks also cover a lot of her semblance abilities.

As for Weiss, in case I do Multiclass her, any suggestions other than Spell Focus / Greater Spell Focus for increasing spell DC's?

[D&DPrinceTandem]

I don't know a wrong or right way of saying this so im just going to say it.

I CALL KENSHIN HIMURA!!!

thank you

Not sure how to make a gish, if I'm honest, I haven't looked into them. Also, how would one perform the ever comical WRYYYYYYYY?



Also, I'm not sure that fly at will would be needed. At their caster level wouldn't it be redundant?

Repeating my question from two pages ago. Can anyone help?

<sub>The dragon magazine half ogre template gives large size, while keeping the humanoid type. This might be what I was looking for.

Would the character get bonus strength/constitution for increasing his size, in addition to the racial modifiers? the template isn't too clear about that.</sub>

If the template doesn't say they get bonuses then they do not. Increasing size by RHD progression uses the table in the MM, but otherwise increases are by what is specifically stated.

I think due to his metal plating Franky would probably have quite a bit of damage reduction, if not immunity to critical hits as well. But yeah, zergling answered you: It most likely doesn't.

[Braininthejar2]

He's obviously a renegade mastermaker - so his shell could be "enchanted" to make him more durable.

I think he has more weapon implants than body slots though. (does a fist weapon take the gloves slot, or not?)

I don't believe so, unless it specifically states it.

Added to the list!

I feel like Issei starting with one of the Orbs of Dragonkind is almost without question, unless someone can think of a better substitute.

yep he has orb of dragon kind mounted on his gauntlet( 1st level symbiot manifestation of his symbiot knight class and dragons name is ddraig.

Bonus points if Issei has an obsession with breasts and the dragon is constantly embarrassed by it.

just put me on issei. i think i can build him up to at least 5th level which sufficient for his first season build.

[Mato]

Has anyone used one of those classed Rich posted on the forums to create a super saiyen Goku build before?

Sure thing, marking you as in progress for Issei.

[Mato]

Sure thing, marking you as in progress for Issei.

What could you even use for Issei? A dragonspawn hellbred cancer jade phoenix mage? It'd have an intelligent tumor, limitless strength, desert wind's love for fire, stances to shift in and out of for promotions, and maybe spellcasting could give you a summon spell with a creature with an energy draining touch attack... But cancer mage takes 24 hours for a simple +2 increase and there is nothing like dress break (you can't sunder armor).

I think we handle this in previous posts no need to uber complex buildp

I should like to take Lina Inverse and Goury Gabriev.

Sure thing, I'll mark you in progress for them.

Came out... Weaker than I expected, really. I'll probably redo him in 3.5 as a Totemist/Swordsage later.
