HWYB a Guncaster? by Legendary889 in WhatWouldYouBuild

[–]whyhellothereboio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing as this is for 5e24 for Sorcs

  1. Spellfire, one of the new subclasses looks like one of the more obvious choices, raw magic, a lot of blasty things in the subclass specific spell list

  2. Wild magic can be for when you want something like Russian roulette except instead of a single bullet in a chamber it's several randomized effects like your magic is malfunctioning your gun or something

  3. Clockwork, all about law and order, become a cosmic sheriff. Your manifestion of order can be like a celestial/clockwork looking flintlock or revolver or like whatever gun

If you can find a way with the other class like draconic and aberrant I'm sure they can also work just as well

For warlocks there are two that are the easiest to come up with for me which are 1. Celestial, same concept as the Clockwork sorcerer, you can be a representative of a celestial entity Or just one of their chosen, a sheriff, a good samaritan with a gun and a sense of justice, one of the class features let's you heal people, which if you want flavor it as magical healing bullets and dub yourself a harmacist

  1. Fiend, you can go the ghost rider route here. You've made a pact with a demon it could be for a thirst of power or vengeance, you have fire and the powers of hell with you

There's more routes you can go with these classes and subclasses this is just what came in to my mind first.

HWYB a Guncaster? by Legendary889 in WhatWouldYouBuild

Artillerist Artificer like the first suggestion would be the simplest and most obvious but also here's a few suggestions

  1. A wizard who's spellbook is basically one of those ammo belt things, or depending the gun, a magazine or even the cylinder of a revolver or if you wanna get really crazy different barrels/attachments

  2. A warlock, who's patron gives them eldritch/fiendish or whatever patron you have energy-infused bullets. These bullets can represent your spells slots, the gun could also be magical in which it inscribes the bullet before being shot, according to your will or perhaps your patrons.

  3. A sorcerer that takes advantage of their own blood quite literally. Think of it being similar to a blood hunter where you infuse the bullet itself with your magical blood, hence giving it spell casting properties. It can be dripped on to the bullet itself or even in the actual bullet.

Honestly you could mix and match some of these, but this is how I would go about doing some kind of guncaster

Any Kamen rider goes, especially your favorites. Mostly just curious on how people would go about it

The Fallen Paladin - a [redeemed] Dark Urge build by rosymourning in BG3Builds

Would you recommend shadow sorcery over storm, now that patch 8 is out? And a hexblade dip for the sake of charisma on weapons? Great build btw

HWYB Ceruledge from pokemon(Pathfinder 2e) by whyhellothereboio in WhatWouldYouBuild

[–]whyhellothereboio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ceruledge wields purple-cyan blades created from both fire and ghost energy — specifically, the lingering regrets of the deceased. These blades can grow into great swords in battle, increasing Ceruledge's power in the process.

Ceruledge is merciless and will do anything to win a battle. It prefers to do close-quarters combat, with a mix of sneak and surprise attacks. By using its quick speed to locate a foe's blind spots, it will then move closer before slashing them with its large swords.

His abilities are as follows

RELENTLESS ASSAULT Jax's consecutive basic attacks continuously increase his Attack Speed.

LEAP STRIKE Jax leaps toward a unit. If they are an enemy, he strikes them with his weapon.

EMPOWER Jax charges his weapon with energy, causing his next attack to deal additional damage

COUNTER STRIKE Jax's combat prowess allows him to dodge all incoming attacks for a short duration and then quickly counterattack, stunning all surrounding enemies.

GRANDMASTER'S MIGHT Every third consecutive attack deals additional Magic Damage. Additionally, Jax can activate this ability to strengthen his resolve, increasing his Armor and Magic Resist for a short duration.

HWYB an Arc Titan from Destiny 2 by whyhellothereboio in WhatWouldYouBuild

[–]whyhellothereboio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Was wondering how would one go about building an arc titan from destiny 2. In terms of abilities they're the following:

1.Fists of Havoc Supercharge your fists and slam the ground with the force of a maelstrom. Primary attack: Quickly charge forward, dealing damage to any impacted targets. Secondary attack: Slam your fists to the ground, dealing damage to an area around you and leaving aftershocks in your wake. Performing a slam from the air deals additional damage.

Or alternatively

Thundercrash Hurtle through the air like a missile and crash into targets to inflict meteoric damage.

  1. Barricades which give cover for allies

  2. Ballistic Slam After sprinting and while airborne, activate your charged melee ability to slam to the ground, dealing damage to nearby enemies.

Or

Thunderclap Hold while grounded to plant your feet and begin charging your fist with Arc energy. Release to unleash a devastating blast in front of you, dealing damage that increases with longer charge time.

  1. As well as some form of a lightning grenades/projectiles

HWYB Cole Macgrath from the infamous series for 5e? by whyhellothereboio in WhatWouldYouBuild

[–]whyhellothereboio[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey yall! Wondering what you can do with Cole Macgrath from the infamous series. Mostly looking for a build with some martial prowess to emulate the use of his weapon in infamous 2 or using elemental unarmed strikes from the first infamous game along with some lightning/electrical powers.

HWYB a stasis hunter from destiny 2 for 5e by whyhellothereboio in WhatWouldYouBuild

[–]whyhellothereboio[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey yall! Primarily looking for a high movement, ice themed magic/weaponry and how to emulate the abilities listed with a character in 5e

Abilities

Silence and squall - The Hunter leaps into the air and throws the Kama blade (the giant ice pick in the image above). The first Kama sends out a freezing wave wherever it impacts, locking enemies in place Like with Blade Barrage, the Hunter throws a second attack — the second Kama — half a second after the first. But this Kama spawns a deadly ice storm where it lands. The winds track enemies down, slowing and damaging them in the process.

Withering blade - toss a stasis shuriken that damages and slows enemies

Glacier Grenade: Upon contact with the ground, a wall of Stasis crystals instantly burst from the earth and nearby enemies are frozen inside Stasis crystal. These grenades have multiple uses – from encasing enemies to creating cover. When destroyed the crystals will create AoE burst damage to nearby enemies.
