Anime Characters as D&D Characters v2.0

[Xaroth]

Yes.

Rune Soldier Louie Opening sequence

Added to the list!

[Xaroth]

Just bumping this thread back up. I'm very much interested in what else can be done

[Bluydee]

Add [Diego Brando (Scary Monsters)] ([Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 7 - Steel Ball Run]) and put him down as in progress by me. I just reread SBR recently and since Diego's so easy to create I thought I'd write up his build.

Out of curiosity, d'you have any ideas for Dio in Stardust Crusaders? I talked about him quite a bit before but I ended up dropping him because I have no idea how to handle the eye lasers and such.

Also, adding it.

Dio in Part 1 is easy enough. Most of his abilities can be replicated by the Vampire template alone. You can go Psychic Warrior to add in anything the template alone doesn't cover, and with Psychic Warrior you can take a few levels in Cryokineticist to replicate the Vaporative Freezing Technique. Space Ripper Stingy Eyes are harder to replicate, seeing as they slice/pierce through things, but since they're technically water you could just refluff the ranged attacks you get from Cryokineticist to shoot from your eyes, or take the Mantled Warrior ACF to take a blasting power of your choice from the Ardent Mantles for your purposes.

Once you go to Part 3 and add in The World, however, then it becomes harder. Astral Construct could represent the stand well, but the hard part is the at-will Time Stop. Swiftblades can sacrifice a 6th level spell slot to stop time for 1 round, but that's as far as I know for stopping time.

time sphere summoner would work as long as some one post sslarn the talent for both avilabilty and legitimacy

[Xaroth]

How could Light Yagami be tackled? Would Ryuk be a cohort?

[Xaroth]

Just bumping the thread.

[Xaroth]

Out of curiosity, does anyone have any better ideas than Deepspawn x2 as far as tackling Kaneki goes?

[Inevitability]

Grafts? It'd fit with how he got it...

[Arbane]

Light's a low-level Expert with high Int... and an artifact.
Ryuk's just an interested outsider.

Spoiler: Spoiler for the manga

Show

Cohorts, as a general rule, don't kill their boss out of boredom.

[Xaroth]

I don't think I remember where grafts are. :I

Fair enough. I'm beginning to think that Light wouldn't really fit as a D&D character.

[Inevitability]

Bits of outsiders/undead/constructs/aboleths/illithid/yuan-ti one has attached to himself in order to get, for example, a natural attack, or some immunity.

Can you develop a graft to have it give more power? From the way his power develops, he's acquired the ability to attack with tentacles of varying sizes all the way up to Colossal.

Hm... Good point, maybe make it a symbiont (Fiend Folio, Magic of Eberron...) then? Symbionts are creatures that happen to be attached to another creature. They're mostly under control of their host, though a symbiont could theoretically (and sometimes practically) act against its host's wishes.

I suppose that could work for his episodes where he loses himself to his power and attacks purely based on instinct. Is there something that allows a host full control over there symbiont, eventually?

Sure: boost your Will save to the point that you can always beat the symbiont's Ego score.

...well, you're not wrong.

I'll look into Symbionts.

Question: Do we scale these characters out to level 20 or do we actually write them up at the levels they should be at? Because some of these characters are SIGNIFICANTLY below level 20, while others are probably well beyond 20.

Whatever you think is best, but if you can think up a decent progression beyond what they achieve - if a character would only suit being level 7 but you can think of ways they would become more powerful while remaining true to the character - then it's preferred that you go for level 20 at the very least. And uh, Iron Chef format, is preferred. People may want to play (against) these characters up to a certain point and level 20 is a very safe level to have.

Why? Have anybody in mind?

Looking at Himura Kenshin; his build is really only one that (IMHO) gets confused beyond about 10. The feats he displays in universe really don't rank too far outside of E6 in terms of power scaling... I'll show what my build looks like in a bit.

same point with issei. he is probably 6 level symbiotic knight then no apperant power increase and can any one remove my name from it.

[Xaroth]

I've removed you from Issei, Khadgar.

I feel like Genos would be interesting. Fluffed Warforged for his appearance?

And BK-201 would probably be pretty interesting to see as far as build goes. I don't really know of any way to focus electricity with a ninja-like guy.

[Xaroth]

Bumping this up.

[Xaroth]

Alright, since nobody else is gonna ask: Cloud. How do we tackle him? His weapon is essentially a Fullblade comprised of smaller weapons, right? Omni-slash could probably be handled via Time Stands Still, unless there's something even more powerful to do.

isnt he a video game character who jumped in animes as side product.

[Xaroth]

True, I suppose, but Advent Children gives a great visual representation of Cloud's abilities. If people want I can move Cloud over to the VG characters thread, but that was my reasoning.

[137beth]

Well then, he is an anime character, right? The thread isn't called "Anime characters who aren't also video game characters as D&D characters."

[SuperTwitchy]

How do i claim a character because i want to claim Death (Soul Eater)?

[AvatarVecna]

You've probably just claimed them, but getting the OP updated with that will have to wait until the OP is online again.
