      It's technical and frankly inaccurate, not that I'm dissing the build or anything.
      One of my folks' closest friends is diabetic with a gluten allergy. She also happens to be a damn good baker despite not being able to taste any of it (without a shot if she's willing to cheat, anyway), but I guess maybe she's just been at it so long she has Expertise in that skill~

    • @Saintbow
      @Saintbow 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      @@Saiavinn I'm sorry to inform you, but it is you who is inaccurate on this. Baking versus Culinary are two separate cooking beasts.. Just ask that friend or any person who has gone to culinary arts and they will tell you that baking is an exact science. You're not tasting the dough, the yeast, the flour, while you are mixing, kneading, letting it proof. It's all about measurements, science and reactions. You can be a master baker and never eat a slice because you are searching for how the bread reacts to heat and the outcome. When inventing a new dish on the saute station, you are tasting everything, to combine them in a symphony. That is why any chef who goes to a culinary school has to earn a bakers mastery separate versus everything else.

    Fabricate is such a beautiful spell for an alchemist.
    "Water: 35 liters, Carbon: 20 kg, Ammonia: 4 liters, Lime:1.5 kg, Phosphrus: 800 g, salt: 250g, saltpeter:100g, Sulfer: 80g, Fluorine: 7.5 g, iron: 5.6 g, Silicon: 3g, and 15 other elements in small quantities. [...]
    Humans are pretty cheaply made.”
    As long as your have the proficiency, you can make just about anything through your "alchemy."
    Heck, as far as D&D's concerned, with true polymorph you could make your own city population out of frickin rocks.
    Of course, in D&D you can also cast Wish to resurrect your dead mother....

      For start, we need to go beyond 20 int and find shenanigans that let him have an absurd number of high level necromancy related spells. He really isnt that powerful outside of those two areas relatively speaking as he was an rp build. If he were an epic encounter he would be obnoxious in the extreme as the dm would have to play him as abusing the heck out of every situation for maximum cheese as thats how he plays. He gathers as much intel as he can, studies your skills and standard strategies, and counters them hard. As for class? He is way past lich. Im pretty sure he counts as beyond demilich as he is a super secret lich class that involves being a master of spellcasting. So no clue what you could do with that.

Badass transmuter warforged who knows how to cast fist is definitely on my list of interesting build to consider for futures games.

    I think I can make something extra cool out of this. Replacing some of the spells with others. I was thinking monk four elements, but as I look at that I realize it wouldn’t fit that well.
    Man I wish there was a FMA table top game. I’d love to play around with the alchemy system legit. And the varieties of play styles would work too! Guns, melee, and the abundance of different styles of alchemy! You don’t even need to have seen truth to be a powerful alchemist, Roy mustang with his modified ignition gloves is a great example.

      From what ive read from/about it the new Avater: Legends rule Set might be what your looking for.
      Afaik it has more Open actions (relying on Training, pushing your luck etc.) that can be described however you Like (i.e. bending the Earth to get somewhere high for Avatar and transmuting whatever is around you for FMA).
      Also: one Problem with Putting FMA in DnD is that you basically NEED spells for Most characters which means you can run Out of spellslots even though Alchemists are only ever Limited by their surroundings and creativity. Avatar: Legends (once again afaik) doesnt have This Problem
