*Aladdin* A variant human warlock-rogue and former "street rat" who, with the help of the friendly djinni (pronounced the same way as "genie") he made a pact with, managed to earn a better life, and is now living with the princess he fell in love with.
Aladdin is a classic of so many people's childhood! But you know as you get older you have to take some of the time you would spend watching movies by disney and realocate it to time watching the news so you can stay informed. Fortunately there is Anderson Cooper who gives informed takes on what is happening around the world! Now that's a build I'd love to see!

We've never had a friend like the Genie, and the same can be said for Uncle Iroh. Uncle Iroh build please, as he befriended his theoretical enemies and allies alike.
@@rustythebard That makes for a good foe. Some random stranger leaves each character thinking, a ghost of sorts, and in the end it was to bring him down.
I like a lot of classic Disney movies, and Aladdin is up there among my favourites (Jasmine is best princess, don't @ me). My point is I could barely concentrate on the build because I was so busy watching the lovely clips in the background.
🎼Gotta keep One pun ahead of the comments One shitpost ready to go I’m first only when it’s Tulok’s show (That’s everyday!)

Someone else to think on - Princess Jasmine. Goals - she's got to have a tiger. Said tiger is her friend, Rajah. Rajah is very protective of her. Let's get started. Stats - High to Low - Dexterity, Wisdom, Charisma, Constitution, Intelligence, and we're dumping strength. Background - Nobility - History and Persuasion. Race - Variant Human. Boost Dexterity and Charisma (she is a princess), and let's grab the Observant Feat (she notices things). Also, snag Animal Handling (it's a skill all Disney Princesses need). Initial Class - Rogue. Oh yeah - d6 sneak attack, plus Expertise on two skills (Animal Handling ought to be one of them), and let's grab Perception (expertise that one), Acrobatics, Performance, and Deception. Next, let's go Ranger - grab Insight, Deft Explorer - expertise Persuasion - grab Dueling at Level 2 and let's go to Level 3, to pick up Rajah - go Beastmaster. Now, do we reflavor Beast of the Land as him, or a Panther? Let's just go BotL to keep things simple. Let's go to Level 7 Ranger (boost Dexterity at Level 4, and Jasmine can now swim and climb with 35 foot movement) - Rajah's attacks now count as magical for the sake of overcoming magic resistance an immunity. Now, let's build up the Princess a bit, and switch to Monk. Let's face it, she doesn't normally wear armor, and she does have some Martial Arts abilities - even disguising herself as a guard in one TV episode. So, let's use a shortsword, at least initially (useful to get that added Sneak Attack damage, as Rajah will always be near Jasmine anyways), plus the unarmed attacks using Dexterity instead of Strength. Monk 2 grants Fury of Blows as a bonus action, and the option to make certain non-Monk weapons Monk weapons (don't think she uses a Rapier though). Also, while not wearing armor, she moves 10 feet faster (includes swimming and climbing). Level 3, let's go Open Hand, as it seems to fit her - but another tradition might fit better. Monk 4, Max out Dexterity. Go to Level Monk 6, and now Jasmine's punches count as Magical for overcoming Resistance and Immunity to non-magical attacks. By this point, Jasmine can heal herself and Rajah fairly well, and has a total level of 14. What to do? Actually, jump back to Ranger - get to Level 12 in that class - Rajah can make 2 attacks when he attacks, Jasmine gets Temporary hp, and let's boost Wisdom for AC and Spells. Also, d10 hit dice are better to have than d8s For the final level, jump back to Monk - and now we have Evasion. Pros - Good at noticing things, friend to animals, friends with people, and can dish out 5 attacks per round regularly (1 from her, 4 from Rajah, or one from her, 2 from Rajah, then 2 from her Flurry of Blows - depending on how one reads the rules), with one having an added d6 if she uses a dexterity based weapon, plus another d6 if Rajah has to move 20+ feet - so 5d6+2d8+31 (or if Rajah is making 4 attacks, 3d6+4d8+37), for a mean of 54 (or 62 if Rajah makes 4 attacks), and that's without critical attacks. Throw on some lucky crits, and high dice rolls, 123 (or 133 if Rajah attacks 4 times). Also, both her unarmed attacks and Rajah's claws count as Magical, and she can set up Advantage for herself with Rajah's help. Cons - Jasmine has 135 hp, Rajah has 65 (but she can heal herself and Rajah, and Evasion has its uses). Her strength's a little low, meaning that someone stronger than her might shove her around (like a certain Guard Captain before he realized - "Ahh! Princess Jasmine!"). Also, Extra Attacks from Level 5 Monk and Level 5 Ranger don't stack. Still, by this point, you probably know a few tricks, might be able to chat your way out of a fight, and oh, you're the Princess - call up some of those guards - not to mention your boyfriend, the tiger, the genie, carpet, and Abu.
While I understand that Monkey isn’t an option for find familiar, I’d argue that most chill DM’s would either let you take it as your familiar, or tell you to take an imp or quasit and add monkey as one of the things it can shapechange into.
Fun fact, Aladdin is also an anime character, but anime Aladdin is noticeably different than Disney Aladdin. Aladdin is one of the core cast members of the series Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, he's more of a full caster without the Rogue elements that make up the Disney version but he also seems to look and act like a kid (even though he's technically not). In Magi, the one that goes with Rogue elements is Alibaba, but he ends up getting genie powers later on in the series. And rounding out the core trio of Magi is Morgiana, she didn't have the best life before she got pulled into the adventure by Aladdin and Alibaba, a bit more literally than most people might think. Still, seeing two noticeably different Aladdin builds could be fun, you could even make a few jokes about how you already did an Aladdin build while making the Magi Aladdin build, which as stated above is noticeably different from the Disney Aladdin build.
I would love to see an Aladdin (from Magi) build. He is different than the Aladdin in Disney. If he could be a Warlock with the Noble Genie Patron, that would also be nice. (Noble Genie Patron gives you Elemental Resistance. The other Genie Patrons control 1 element (except Dao who allows you do bludgeoning damage). So, it would be like controlling multiple genie.)
0:23 They actually buffed the Thrown Weapon Fighting style to +2 damage, and added the Quick Throw Battle Master Maneuver that let's you throw a weapon as a bonus action and add the Maneuver die to the damage. Couple it with the Dueling fighting style from Fighting Initiate you can have +4 on each thrown weapon, plus modifier, plus anywhere from a d8 to a d12 depending on how deep into Battlemaster you go. Or! If multiclassing is allowed at your table, you can start as a Fighter up to level 4, then jump over to Kensei monk and suddenly your thrown weapons are d6's and eventually d8's AND they'll be magical to overcome resistance! I may have been making a thrown weapon character and this may be me gushing about how Tasha's and Xanathar's has finally made it viable.
That's actually incredible. I knew about the thrown weapon fighting style, and thought that to be a good step in the right direction, but a battle master maneuver too? Your build idea actually seems very viable. I'm intrigued. I wonder if you could mix that well with a bracer of flying daggers. Probably not enough actions. Might need to convert the blinkback belt from Pathfinder 1e.
@K Vid Not to mention going Artificer and adding Returning Weapon to whatever you're throwing! that's a +1 in addition to only needing 1 (one) dart/axe/javelin/hammer/whathaveyou. Just...don't use Returning Weapon on a Net maybe
Of course technically he wasn't lying about being a prince. He didn't wish for the genie to help him pretend to be a prince. He wished for the genie to make him a prince. So he was a real prince.
@@devinspencer1678 yes and no. He admitted that it was him, but lied by saying that he sometimes dresses like a commoner to escape palace life. The part about dressing like a commoner was true as Obi Wan would say from a certain point of view. But the reason he give is completely false.
Great build. Overall, very happy with it, and you're now one day closer to paying off those student loans. I also want viable throw weapon fighting. The thrown weapon fighting style is a step in the right direction. I appreciate you referencing the animated series. Regarding the build itself, I'd revise it slightly so that instead of true strike you'd get eldritch blast and re-flavor the blasts to be apples (as per the video games), given him the Skilled feat for Animal Handling, Deception, and Persuasion (instead of a one of the ability score bumps), then take the Beast Speech invocation instead of Beguiling Influence (he talks to Apu and understands what the monkey says). The flying monkey from Tomb of Annihilation is a 'with DM permission' find familiar option, so that could be Apu. This allows for the pact of the chain instead of pact of the blade. However, if you want to be closer to the video games, especially the SEGA version, then pact of the blade fits better.
You can do flying monkey for find familiar and if your DM dose not allow that (it says the dm can let you use them in tomb of annihilation) just remove the flying speed
Archeologist artificer sounds neat. Really lean into the tool item usage. Giving pseudo jack of all trades too. WOuld be real neat. though my alchemist could be pretty close
To help cope with the delay of the Dune movie, please make a Bene Gesserit. College of eloquence or glamour might be a start, maybe some monk thrown in.
If you want to give Abu a pair of wings, you can always grab a Flying Monkey familiar with Pact Of The Chain. But that scimitar kinda came out of nowhere, sooooo Pact Of The Blade works too.
Theoretically another way to get endless use out of a genie would be to make one very specific wish. Something to the extent of "Genie, I wish that you would grant requests I have with the same dedication you grant wishes without them counting as wishes, there is no limit to the number of requests you will grant and you will grant anything beginning with the phrase "___(This is where you would put the phrase you would want to use, I'd reccomend something not likely for you to say in casual conversation but short enough to say in a hurry such as "can you do me a solid?" or "Would you kindly?" for Bioshock fans out there)" To be fair, I've never met a genie (for obvious reasons) so if you do I'd be wary about trying it out since I can't vouch for it's effectiveness or safety.
Episode #230 of the Fire Emblem stats: Aladdin. Aladdin's good at just swords and flight and is bad at brawling and both types of magic since that's Jasmine's and the Genie's skills respectively. Aladdin has great dexterity, luck, and charm but is otherwise quite average.
Despite his strength and how much he punches things, I can't help but feel that he's a Wizard (School of Conjuration). The 2nd level Minor Conjuration feature gives you some initial alchemical magic, letting you make glorious, glowing statues of yourself as an action, and the 10th level feature Focused Conjuration makes sure that the things you make won't disappear because you got hit. The spell list would probably look something like the following: Cantrips: Mending, Mold Earth, Prestidigitation, Sword Burst (?), Thunderclap First Level: Catapult, Earth Tremor, Ice Knife (?), Jump, Longstrider, Mage Armor, Shield, Snare, Thunderwave Second Level: Cloud of Daggers, Dust Devil (?), Earthbind, Enlarge/Reduce (not in character, but if he could, he would), Hold Person (?), Knock (with you fist, when possible), Maximilian's Earth grasp, Shatter Third Level: Counterspell (?), Erupting Earth, Galder's Tower (a little beyond anything we see Armstrong make, but in the same general vein), Glyph of Warding (?), Haste, Melf's Minute Meteors, Thunder Step, Wall of Sand Fourth Level: Fabricate, Stone Shape, Stone Skin, Summon Construct (?), Summon Elemental (?) Fifth Level: Animate Objects, Bigby's Hand (?), Conjure Elemental, Hold Monster (?), Passwall, Steel Wind Strike (?), Transmute Rock, Wall of Stone Sixth Level: Create Homunculus (they're not as good as the ones in the show, but that makes it more sensible for this build), Disintegrate (?), Investiture of Ice (?), Investiture of Stone, Move Earth, Scatter (?), Tenser's Transformation Seventh Level: Force Cage (?), Mordenkainen's Sword (?), Reverse Gravity (?), Simulacrum (?) Eighth Level: Clone (?), Maze (?), Mighty Fortress Ninth Level: Foresight, Imprisonment, Invulnerability, Meteor Swarm Any spell marked with a '?' indicates that you'd need to reflavor it to get it to work. Remember that your fists are you spellcasting focus. I went through a spell list by level and grabbed everything that I thought might work for this so bear in mind that I've probably listed more options than you can have prepared at any one time. In addition, when I was looking at higher-leveled spell I realized that DnD outpaces what we see any side character doing in FMA. You might roleplay it as Armstrong got Isekai'd to an alternate world where the Alchemy works a little different (a la alkahestry) and the limits of power are higher. He's a Human, obviously, so I'd say to go Variant Human and pick up the Warcaster or Tough feat. You'll probably want both by the end. Intelligence should be your highest stat, followed by Strength/Constitution and Dexterity. Dump Wisdom and Charisma as he makes people uncomfortable despite being hot. The background could be either Soldier or Noble, depending on your preference.
Haha I literally started a character for this just the other day. I chose Athlete instead of mobile to give him climb speed and then decided on Swashbuckler for Rogue Subclass
You know, I love it when the characters you make start with an A. It just warms my heart. I sure do hope you make a character about a particular reporter who's name starts with A
Suggestion: switch STR and CON, take 4th level of thief for the Resilient feat (+1 CON), and 16 levels of Warlock. If you're genie puts limitations on your wish abilities, then Limited Wish will give you everything you need, the now 14 in CON gives you the extra 20 HP, and proficiency in 3 saving throws rounds out TBE character better.
sharpshooter, archery style, thrown weapon style from Fighter 1, Ranger 2, and a feat isn't bad. Especially since rangers get a bunch of neat spell stuff for ranged weapons. The +2 damage from style lets it keep up with longbow.
If you can argue that the Elemental Gift s flying speed is the same as a Carpet of Flying, I can argue that a baboon (which has the same challenge rating as all of the standard options except poisonous snake) can be summoned via Find Familiar.
6:25 the limit on sneak attack is once per turn, not once per round. A rogue could sneak attack 3+ times in a round with opportunity attack, battlemaster maneuver, and/or spell
It was funny, i came here thinking there were two likely options for this class depending on what you wanted to focus on, and getting wish was one of them. I just wasnt sure what path to wish you were going to take. The other was just doing a rogue build for your thieving street rat diamond in the rough. Agile, nimble, sneaky, maybe toss in a few bard levels because you are a charming and entertaining dreg of society.
I made this for Thanksgiving 1-shot. I skipped the rogue levels (although after realized that would have been more accurate) and went path of the chain with an imp that made itself look like a little monkey.
I do wonder what the next Disney D&D build will be. Rapunzel? Quasimodo? Robin Hood? KUZCO?! Really, these build videos are so fun I honestly don't care... every single one has been entertaining. Keep doing what your doing.
Day 11 and another character I actually know a decent amount about. Once again the video autoplayed so I got a sneak peak at the Warlock level. I hate it when it does that because it feels like I'm cheating. Oh well, I was already considering genie warlock levels anyway. Race: Human. Usually go with variant human but Aladdin is very much just a regular guy. Background: Urchin Stats: #1: Dex: He's a thief that regularly dodges the city guards. #2: Cha: He's just a really nice guy. And we need it for Warlock. #3: Wis: Goes along with trickery and sneaking around. #4: Int: He likely never had a formal education but that doesn't stop him from thinking on his feet. #5: Con: Like I said above, he's just a dude. No magic armor, no super soldier serum, no mutant abilities, very susceptible to stabbing, burning, and falling off a chair and breaking his neck. #6: Str: Should probably be higher but not really necessary and better than dumping Con. Class(es) - Thief Rogue: He jumps an climbs through the streets of agrabah like a monkey so this works, especially with second story works to help mitigate dumped strength. Substitute scimitar for your we... Wait a minute, he actually uses a scimitar, so for once it doesn't need to be swapped out, cool. - Genie pact Warlock: Pretty self explanatory. He's got a genie friend. Can you guys tell I'm a bit more into it than I was in the K. Rool video? Not that anyone reads this entire thing. Oh well, time to watch the video, can't wait for Tulok's explanation why he's a Kenku Druid.
A cool image in my head is a warlock's patron manifesting to do things a spell does. A cooler image is a half-orc Aladdin Pros: better strength and con for getaways, relentless endurance for if you don't get away, better melee crits to make your sneak attack better, and intimidation, you befriended a powerful extra-planar being, I'm intimidated. Plus half-orcs are hot. Cons: You miss out on the feat, and a starting boost to more important stats. Verdict: If Aladdin was a half-orc he wouldn't have needed to pretend he was a Prince.
I thought you were gonna go all the way on Thief Rogue, but that's my Animated-Series view talking. First movie only - totally go genie warlock. All those little not-wishes help that genie provides totally fits in as invocations and the like. Also, charisma totally makes sense as a major stat - the only people that don't like Alladin are guards, because it is their job, and that snotty noble with the whip.
You know who else has a friend with magic and looks good in a vest and parachute pants? Tanya Degurechaff from Youjo Senki/Saga of Tanya the Evil. Her friend that looks good in a vest and parachute pants is Visha. Visha would look good in Genie’s outfit.
If you ever get around to building Jafar, (Actually, make 2, for both Human and Genie versions, or a way to explain differences - Genie seems like a Fire Genasi - all that red), you have to reference the StarKid production, Twisted: An Untold Story of a Royal Vizier, wherein Ja'far is actually a decent adviser, trying to handle a corrupt Sultan, a naïve Princess, and let's not get started on that thief in the marketplace known as Aladdin (who is a 33 year-old manchild in this version of the tale). It's quite funny actually. Now, to build Jafar - He's Human (at least initially), so let's snag Animal Handling as a skill (for dealing with Iago and horse riding), and let's grab the Actor Feat. Boost Charisma and Intelligence. Background - Courtier from SCAG is fairly close (get Insight, Persuasion, 2 languages) and Court Functionary feature - you know the movers and shakers, and how the inner working of the palace work - useful for a Vizier. Stats - Charisma 15 (17 from boosts), Dexterity 14, Intelligence 13 (14 from boosts), Strength 12, Constitution is 10, and let's dump Wisdom (never noticed when Abu robbed him until afterwards, and let's not get started on that Final Wish, which turned him into a Genie) Initial Class - Rogue - You get to grab 4 skills - Deception, Acrobatics, Intimidation, and Investigation. Place Expertise on Animal Handling and Deception. You also get Sneak Attack - useful for those times you need to pull a knife on someone, like a thief you have no further use for. Next, go Bard - get Arcana so that he knows his magic stuff. Collage of Lore would be good. 2 spells to eventually get are Suggestion, for when you want the Sultan to do something, like giving you that diamond ring, and Awaken for Iago (reflavor a Raven to get a Parrot - it's mimicry is rather useful). By this point (9th level Bard), you'll also have Jack of all Trades, and Expertise on 2 more skills - Arcana and Investigation would be good, plus the following at Level 10 Bard - Performance and Acrobatics. Also, by this point, snag Performance (for obvious reasons), Slight of Hand, and Stealth. Also, bump up your Charisma, and then Dexterity. Now, back to Rogue - go Arcane Trickster. Eventually, add Expertise on Slight of Hand and Stealth. Keep boosting Dexterity, or, if you prefer, Intelligence. until you have 10 Levels in Rogue. Pros - Charismatic - expert at lying, and singing, lots of skills, with Expertise on 8 of them. Possibly 5d6 Sneak Attack damage in addition to what a Dagger or another dexterity-based/finesse based weapon could dish out, plus d10 Inspiration Dice (5 of them). Cons - Low HP (103 total with the average being taken), no spells above the 5th level, and if you boosted your Intelligence instead of Dexterity, possibly a low AC and a low melee attack hit chance. Also, with that low Wisdom Score, there's a chance you might not notice something, or get tricked by your foes into doing something foolish. Still, with your charisma, tell those lazy guards "Hey, You, you, you, and You! Grab that Street Rat and throw him off of the edge of a cliff, into the ocean." After that, work on charming those Nobles into doing your bidding. Also, you still have Iago - treat him nicely and maybe he'll be reasonably loyal to you.
I've never played Dissidia, but I've heard Locke is pretty consistently connected to Phoenix there. Probably go further into rogue, pick the fire genie patron, and use limited wish for free revivify
I challenge you to create a Christmas special "How to Play" of Yukon Cornelius! A prospector that: Mushes a sled with dogs Knows the secrets to the icy tundras and its various creatures and monsters Wields his miner gear and pistol I'll let you figure out the rest...
@TuloktheBarbarian so there is an optional option in a certain module to have a flying monkey as your familiar... with that in mind, if I could have a monkey familiar, what would you change about the build?
Amazing video as always tulok, I was wondering if you would consider making a build for Frankenstein from noblesse? I figure he could make a very interesting hexblade warlock, I wonder what you would make of it?
It's been a while since I last read Noblesse, but I don't know how well it would translate. First off, Franky is pretty OP, so it would require some real focus to get strong enough spells. In addition, from what I recall a lot of the attacks they use are pretty generic energy attacks. Sure there's some punching and kicking (and I think Franky uses a scythe at one point?), but mostly it's just flashy color blasts. The doctor aspect of him would be interesting (maybe even enough to make him a Cleric build instead), but you'd have to really stretch to put any of his work in DnD terms.
@@caeligocielo5634 there's alot of op characters that tulok has translated into dnd, look at Gilgamesh and goku, you just need to accept that they are going to be a weaker version of themselves until the higher levels. As for the spells, I used to think that it would be difficult to translate them into his simple energy attacks, but then I realised it's just about aesthetic reskinning thanks to the Gilgamesh video. With the exception of ea, all of his attacks just revolve around shooting a million swords at you from the game of Babylon, but tulok reskinned damaging spells as gate of Babylon attacks. I figure you could do a similar thing for Frankenstein, and reskin lots of the warlock spells into dark energy attacks, as long as the basic foundation of the spell (range, damage, etc) is the same the form the spell takes shouldn't make that much difference.
So I got a couple villain suggestions. 1. Tomura Shigaraki I was thinking Wizard with a bunch of necrotic or poison spells, Death Domain Cleric and Monk for punching good. 2. Master Xehanort Any version of this guy would be fun, but if you do the old man, you could try possessing people. May I recommend Magic Jar for that?
If you ever do literary characters, I know of a knight that can turn into a dragon - James Eckert of Gordon R. Dickson's Dragon Knight series. Basics - James, and his then-fiancé, Angie, are from Late 20th century Michigan. An issue with an inventor/professor's device sends them to an alternative 14th Century world, around the equivalent of 1346, if the age of the Edward the Black Prince counterpart is any indication when James first encounters him, while rescuing him from a fallen Magikian. An early issue has James stuck in the body of a dragon, but after he and some newly-made friends fight, and beat, the Dark Powers messing things up, James was given a choice - go back to Michigan, or summon his body and stay in this alternative Medieval world. *Obvious Spoiler* James stays, and regains his human body. After this, James and his friends have lots of encounters with the Dark Powers and their forces. Powers - Can turn himself into a dragon, as this is his big thing. Said dragon form, while stronger than a human, can't really carry a human weight around, nor breath fire or other such things. Also, any spells he has cannot harm people directly, but that's where illusions, restraining them, hypnotism, causing them to fall asleep, and on one occasion, putting the fear of a fate worse than death into the person's mind, come into play. He also knows how to heal himself and his friends. Needs - James wears heavy (presumably something like plate) armor, shield, and longsword in a fight, and is okay with a lance, but he's not good with all weapons. Must also be able to ride a horse (Gorp, who is more like a trained Draft Horse). Must also be good at talking to people, especially persuading and lying to them. Must also be good at reading people and investigation stuff. To be fair, Dexterity will be the Dump Stat in any way you build this fella.

Tulok: genie warlock
:(
We've never had a friend like the Genie, and the same can be said for Uncle Iroh. Uncle Iroh build please, as he befriended his theoretical enemies and allies alike.
20 wisdom, ez
Well, we are getting Katara this month. Foes that make you any happier?
He wouldn’t be able to build Iroh, because he would have a 20 in every stat. Except for Wisdom. In Wisdom, he would have 30.
@@rustythebard That makes for a good foe. Some random stranger leaves each character thinking, a ghost of sorts, and in the end it was to bring him down.
One level of Monk, 19 levels of Light Cleric?
Flying Monkey with no wings = Monkey.
Available for Find Familiar.
I like a lot of classic Disney movies, and Aladdin is up there among my favourites (Jasmine is best princess, don't @ me).
My point is I could barely concentrate on the build because I was so busy watching the lovely clips in the background.
DM: Infinite wishes? fine!
Infinite monkey paws, genie lamps, and rings of wishes fall from the sky. Burying, and possibly suffocating the PC's.
Now need a Jasmine Ranger/Bard with a Tiger Pet. She has skills in diplomacy, acrobatics & other stuff i forget.

I still am holding out hope for a Scrooge McDuck build one day and I'd also love to see a take on Donald Duck from Kingdom Hearts someday
He'd just be a level 20 wizard duck
ZETTAFLARE!
@@Rain593 Not so. While he doesn't use them, Donald does know Cure spells, which Wizards don't get. He is a Divine Soul Sorcerer.
@@girlwithtehface5880 He could be an UA theurge wizard. That would get you divine spells.
@@girlwithtehface5880 Just take Cleric or Bard magic initiate
My guess is rougelock or something, I don't know a lot about Aladdin's moveset besides "quick" and "thief" and "genie"
May be he will stick with the recent trend and go with bard barbarian or wizard druid
Someone else to think on - Princess Jasmine.
Goals - she's got to have a tiger. Said tiger is her friend, Rajah. Rajah is very protective of her.
Let's get started.
Stats - High to Low - Dexterity, Wisdom, Charisma, Constitution, Intelligence, and we're dumping strength.
Background - Nobility - History and Persuasion.
Race - Variant Human. Boost Dexterity and Charisma (she is a princess), and let's grab the Observant Feat (she notices things). Also, snag Animal Handling (it's a skill all Disney Princesses need).
Initial Class - Rogue. Oh yeah - d6 sneak attack, plus Expertise on two skills (Animal Handling ought to be one of them), and let's grab Perception (expertise that one), Acrobatics, Performance, and Deception.
Next, let's go Ranger - grab Insight, Deft Explorer - expertise Persuasion - grab Dueling at Level 2 and let's go to Level 3, to pick up Rajah - go Beastmaster. Now, do we reflavor Beast of the Land as him, or a Panther? Let's just go BotL to keep things simple. Let's go to Level 7 Ranger (boost Dexterity at Level 4, and Jasmine can now swim and climb with 35 foot movement) - Rajah's attacks now count as magical for the sake of overcoming magic resistance an immunity.
Now, let's build up the Princess a bit, and switch to Monk. Let's face it, she doesn't normally wear armor, and she does have some Martial Arts abilities - even disguising herself as a guard in one TV episode. So, let's use a shortsword, at least initially (useful to get that added Sneak Attack damage, as Rajah will always be near Jasmine anyways), plus the unarmed attacks using Dexterity instead of Strength. Monk 2 grants Fury of Blows as a bonus action, and the option to make certain non-Monk weapons Monk weapons (don't think she uses a Rapier though). Also, while not wearing armor, she moves 10 feet faster (includes swimming and climbing). Level 3, let's go Open Hand, as it seems to fit her - but another tradition might fit better. Monk 4, Max out Dexterity. Go to Level Monk 6, and now Jasmine's punches count as Magical for overcoming Resistance and Immunity to non-magical attacks.
By this point, Jasmine can heal herself and Rajah fairly well, and has a total level of 14. What to do?
Actually, jump back to Ranger - get to Level 12 in that class - Rajah can make 2 attacks when he attacks, Jasmine gets Temporary hp, and let's boost Wisdom for AC and Spells. Also, d10 hit dice are better to have than d8s
For the final level, jump back to Monk - and now we have Evasion.
Pros - Good at noticing things, friend to animals, friends with people, and can dish out 5 attacks per round regularly (1 from her, 4 from Rajah, or one from her, 2 from Rajah, then 2 from her Flurry of Blows - depending on how one reads the rules), with one having an added d6 if she uses a dexterity based weapon, plus another d6 if Rajah has to move 20+ feet - so 5d6+2d8+31 (or if Rajah is making 4 attacks, 3d6+4d8+37), for a mean of 54 (or 62 if Rajah makes 4 attacks), and that's without critical attacks. Throw on some lucky crits, and high dice rolls, 123 (or 133 if Rajah attacks 4 times). Also, both her unarmed attacks and Rajah's claws count as Magical, and she can set up Advantage for herself with Rajah's help.
Cons - Jasmine has 135 hp, Rajah has 65 (but she can heal herself and Rajah, and Evasion has its uses). Her strength's a little low, meaning that someone stronger than her might shove her around (like a certain Guard Captain before he realized - "Ahh! Princess Jasmine!"). Also, Extra Attacks from Level 5 Monk and Level 5 Ranger don't stack.
Still, by this point, you probably know a few tricks, might be able to chat your way out of a fight, and oh, you're the Princess - call up some of those guards - not to mention your boyfriend, the tiger, the genie, carpet, and Abu.
the return of the true stike of great wisdom! A great life lesson as always.
While I understand that Monkey isn’t an option for find familiar, I’d argue that most chill DM’s would either let you take it as your familiar, or tell you to take an imp or quasit and add monkey as one of the things it can shapechange into.
Fun fact, Aladdin is also an anime character, but anime Aladdin is noticeably different than Disney Aladdin. Aladdin is one of the core cast members of the series Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, he's more of a full caster without the Rogue elements that make up the Disney version but he also seems to look and act like a kid (even though he's technically not). In Magi, the one that goes with Rogue elements is Alibaba, but he ends up getting genie powers later on in the series. And rounding out the core trio of Magi is Morgiana, she didn't have the best life before she got pulled into the adventure by Aladdin and Alibaba, a bit more literally than most people might think.
Still, seeing two noticeably different Aladdin builds could be fun, you could even make a few jokes about how you already did an Aladdin build while making the Magi Aladdin build, which as stated above is noticeably different from the Disney Aladdin build.
And then you have the original story version as well.
@@BJGvideos Yeah, but Tulok doesn't do those kinds of builds, last I checked, but he probably should
I was thinking Sinbad would make for an amazing genie warlock build. Probably monk too.
@@KevinVideo Sinbad is the star of his own Magi spinoff, so there's plenty of material to pull from
I would love to see an Aladdin (from Magi) build. He is different than the Aladdin in Disney. If he could be a Warlock with the Noble Genie Patron, that would also be nice. (Noble Genie Patron gives you Elemental Resistance. The other Genie Patrons control 1 element (except Dao who allows you do bludgeoning damage). So, it would be like controlling multiple genie.)
0:23 They actually buffed the Thrown Weapon Fighting style to +2 damage, and added the Quick Throw Battle Master Maneuver that let's you throw a weapon as a bonus action and add the Maneuver die to the damage. Couple it with the Dueling fighting style from Fighting Initiate you can have +4 on each thrown weapon, plus modifier, plus anywhere from a d8 to a d12 depending on how deep into Battlemaster you go. Or! If multiclassing is allowed at your table, you can start as a Fighter up to level 4, then jump over to Kensei monk and suddenly your thrown weapons are d6's and eventually d8's AND they'll be magical to overcome resistance!
I may have been making a thrown weapon character and this may be me gushing about how Tasha's and Xanathar's has finally made it viable.
That's actually incredible. I knew about the thrown weapon fighting style, and thought that to be a good step in the right direction, but a battle master maneuver too? Your build idea actually seems very viable. I'm intrigued. I wonder if you could mix that well with a bracer of flying daggers. Probably not enough actions. Might need to convert the blinkback belt from Pathfinder 1e.
@K Vid Not to mention going Artificer and adding Returning Weapon to whatever you're throwing! that's a +1 in addition to only needing 1 (one) dart/axe/javelin/hammer/whathaveyou. Just...don't use Returning Weapon on a Net maybe
@@fiaTheFae That'd make for one heck of a Ghosts n' Goblins build for Sir Arthur.
I just remembered that this video (like all of December's) was made before Tasha's came out, so none of it will have anything from TCE
Of course technically he wasn't lying about being a prince. He didn't wish for the genie to help him pretend to be a prince. He wished for the genie to make him a prince. So he was a real prince.
But he did lie about being the one in the market that day.
@@devinspencer1678 yes and no. He admitted that it was him, but lied by saying that he sometimes dresses like a commoner to escape palace life. The part about dressing like a commoner was true as Obi Wan would say from a certain point of view. But the reason he give is completely false.
I call it: rogue thief - genie warlock
Called it.
Was there any doubt?
@@kanjigodomo9696 no, but I tought I could miss some parts, I called Mulan samurai- monk and got it wrong 🤨
Ah, but what species?
Without watching the video, I'm almost positive that this will feature the Genie Warlock in Tasha's, and I can't wait!
"One jump ahead of the breadline" I love this movie and this build
Great build. Overall, very happy with it, and you're now one day closer to paying off those student loans.
I also want viable throw weapon fighting. The thrown weapon fighting style is a step in the right direction.
I appreciate you referencing the animated series.
Regarding the build itself, I'd revise it slightly so that instead of true strike you'd get eldritch blast and re-flavor the blasts to be apples (as per the video games), given him the Skilled feat for Animal Handling, Deception, and Persuasion (instead of a one of the ability score bumps), then take the Beast Speech invocation instead of Beguiling Influence (he talks to Apu and understands what the monkey says).
The flying monkey from Tomb of Annihilation is a 'with DM permission' find familiar option, so that could be Apu. This allows for the pact of the chain instead of pact of the blade. However, if you want to be closer to the video games, especially the SEGA version, then pact of the blade fits better.
For eldritch blast; you could use the lamp as a pistol. That could be pretty cool flavoring.
I see you made the cultured choice of scenes with Red Jasmine...
You can do flying monkey for find familiar and if your DM dose not allow that (it says the dm can let you use them in tomb of annihilation) just remove the flying speed
or it's just Abu on carpet?
Archeologist artificer sounds neat. Really lean into the tool item usage. Giving pseudo jack of all trades too. WOuld be real neat.
though my alchemist could be pretty close
One of my favorites from limited wish: transport via plants. Just teleport to any tree youve seen. Eat your heart out, fathomless warlock
I dunno how useful that would be in the middle of a desert tho.
@@JohnSmith-ex8iw Just as useful as control water, I guess
Day Eleven of paying off (some of) Tulok's student loans
To help cope with the delay of the Dune movie, please make a Bene Gesserit. College of eloquence or glamour might be a start, maybe some monk thrown in.
Now we need a build for Prince Achmed, can't believe you didn't remember him!
No one remembers Achmed
A Ferris Bueller's Day Off shout-out.. I'm impressed! that movie is still good to this day
Please do a build for Merida from Brave.
This was cool, as usual. My only gripe would be not taking pact of the blade and going chain for bringing in Abu. Thanks for the inspiration Tulok!
ONE OF YOUR BEST!!!
Loved all the puns and references.
And the build was spot on.
I would say they instead of Pact of the Blade, I would say let this take Pact of the Tailsman. Kinda fits with the whole theme.
If you want to give Abu a pair of wings, you can always grab a Flying Monkey familiar with Pact Of The Chain. But that scimitar kinda came out of nowhere, sooooo Pact Of The Blade works too.
Theoretically another way to get endless use out of a genie would be to make one very specific wish. Something to the extent of "Genie, I wish that you would grant requests I have with the same dedication you grant wishes without them counting as wishes, there is no limit to the number of requests you will grant and you will grant anything beginning with the phrase "___(This is where you would put the phrase you would want to use, I'd reccomend something not likely for you to say in casual conversation but short enough to say in a hurry such as "can you do me a solid?" or "Would you kindly?" for Bioshock fans out there)"
To be fair, I've never met a genie (for obvious reasons) so if you do I'd be wary about trying it out since I can't vouch for it's effectiveness or safety.
Great, fitting and entertaining as always. Great work and really appreciating your going the extra mile with the daily vids.
Abu could have been a Imp or Quasit for a Familiar or you could have said that picking Urchin covered that by reflavor mouse for chimp.
Episode #230 of the Fire Emblem stats: Aladdin.
Aladdin's good at just swords and flight and is bad at brawling and both types of magic since that's Jasmine's and the Genie's skills respectively.
Aladdin has great dexterity, luck, and charm but is otherwise quite average.
a thief? or would you upgrade hin to an assassin?
I'd love to see Armstrong from full metal alchemist
Despite his strength and how much he punches things, I can't help but feel that he's a Wizard (School of Conjuration). The 2nd level Minor Conjuration feature gives you some initial alchemical magic, letting you make glorious, glowing statues of yourself as an action, and the 10th level feature Focused Conjuration makes sure that the things you make won't disappear because you got hit.
The spell list would probably look something like the following:
Cantrips: Mending, Mold Earth, Prestidigitation, Sword Burst (?), Thunderclap
First Level: Catapult, Earth Tremor, Ice Knife (?), Jump, Longstrider, Mage Armor, Shield, Snare, Thunderwave
Second Level: Cloud of Daggers, Dust Devil (?), Earthbind, Enlarge/Reduce (not in character, but if he could, he would), Hold Person (?), Knock (with you fist, when possible), Maximilian's Earth grasp, Shatter
Third Level: Counterspell (?), Erupting Earth, Galder's Tower (a little beyond anything we see Armstrong make, but in the same general vein), Glyph of Warding (?), Haste, Melf's Minute Meteors, Thunder Step, Wall of Sand
Fourth Level: Fabricate, Stone Shape, Stone Skin, Summon Construct (?), Summon Elemental (?)
Fifth Level: Animate Objects, Bigby's Hand (?), Conjure Elemental, Hold Monster (?), Passwall, Steel Wind Strike (?), Transmute Rock, Wall of Stone
Sixth Level: Create Homunculus (they're not as good as the ones in the show, but that makes it more sensible for this build), Disintegrate (?), Investiture of Ice (?), Investiture of Stone, Move Earth, Scatter (?), Tenser's Transformation
Seventh Level: Force Cage (?), Mordenkainen's Sword (?), Reverse Gravity (?), Simulacrum (?)
Eighth Level: Clone (?), Maze (?), Mighty Fortress
Ninth Level: Foresight, Imprisonment, Invulnerability, Meteor Swarm
Any spell marked with a '?' indicates that you'd need to reflavor it to get it to work. Remember that your fists are you spellcasting focus. I went through a spell list by level and grabbed everything that I thought might work for this so bear in mind that I've probably listed more options than you can have prepared at any one time. In addition, when I was looking at higher-leveled spell I realized that DnD outpaces what we see any side character doing in FMA. You might roleplay it as Armstrong got Isekai'd to an alternate world where the Alchemy works a little different (a la alkahestry) and the limits of power are higher.
He's a Human, obviously, so I'd say to go Variant Human and pick up the Warcaster or Tough feat. You'll probably want both by the end. Intelligence should be your highest stat, followed by Strength/Constitution and Dexterity. Dump Wisdom and Charisma as he makes people uncomfortable despite being hot. The background could be either Soldier or Noble, depending on your preference.
Now I want to see KH allies like Aladin redone in form with how they fight in that series.
Haha I literally started a character for this just the other day.
I chose Athlete instead of mobile to give him climb speed and then decided on Swashbuckler for Rogue Subclass
HES DOING IT
On point, as usual. If someone came to me saying they wanted a monkey familiar, I'd allow it though. IT CAN'T GO WRONG.
4:02, out here giving wisdom to the younger generations!
Can we have a Kefka Palazzo build? I'm mad Sephiroth got into Smash and this could really help make up for it.
Seconded. Give me a villain who actually destroyed the world.
Okay, you helped to show me that you can make a viable warlock that doesn't take the typical stuff. Thanks man!
Wordplay is his superpower. What a great guy.
You know, I love it when the characters you make start with an A. It just warms my heart. I sure do hope you make a character about a particular reporter who's name starts with A
One of the rules is literally "No Wishing for more wishes"
*Feeds algorithm*
This one could be so good. Love warlocks. So many great characters so few campaigns.
Suggestion: switch STR and CON, take 4th level of thief for the Resilient feat (+1 CON), and 16 levels of Warlock. If you're genie puts limitations on your wish abilities, then Limited Wish will give you everything you need, the now 14 in CON gives you the extra 20 HP, and proficiency in 3 saving throws rounds out TBE character better.
Ladies and gentlemen, we finally have the best boy.
sharpshooter, archery style, thrown weapon style from Fighter 1, Ranger 2, and a feat isn't bad. Especially since rangers get a bunch of neat spell stuff for ranged weapons. The +2 damage from style lets it keep up with longbow.
Guessing before I watch, my money’s on Thief/Genie Warlock.
This is great my daughter just watch Aladdin for the first time the other day
If you can argue that the Elemental Gift s flying speed is the same as a Carpet of Flying, I can argue that a baboon (which has the same challenge rating as all of the standard options except poisonous snake) can be summoned via Find Familiar.
A warlock build without Eldritch Blast? *Blast*phemy!
6:25 the limit on sneak attack is once per turn, not once per round. A rogue could sneak attack 3+ times in a round with opportunity attack, battlemaster maneuver, and/or spell
With some reflavoring Aladdin also has Abu at 1st level. Urchins can start with a pet rat unless that changed.
It was funny, i came here thinking there were two likely options for this class depending on what you wanted to focus on, and getting wish was one of them. I just wasnt sure what path to wish you were going to take. The other was just doing a rogue build for your thieving street rat diamond in the rough. Agile, nimble, sneaky, maybe toss in a few bard levels because you are a charming and entertaining dreg of society.
I made this for Thanksgiving 1-shot. I skipped the rogue levels (although after realized that would have been more accurate) and went path of the chain with an imp that made itself look like a little monkey.
Thrown weapon fighting is pretty good with the new fighting style
We need The Tick! Spoooonn!!
I do wonder what the next Disney D&D build will be.
Rapunzel?
Quasimodo?
Robin Hood?
KUZCO?!
Really, these build videos are so fun I honestly don't care... every single one has been entertaining. Keep doing what your doing.
Community question: if your DM did allow your familiar to ‘look like’ a monkey, would pact of the chain be better for this build?
Probably
Day 11 and another character I actually know a decent amount about. Once again the video autoplayed so I got a sneak peak at the Warlock level. I hate it when it does that because it feels like I'm cheating. Oh well, I was already considering genie warlock levels anyway.
Race: Human. Usually go with variant human but Aladdin is very much just a regular guy.
Background: Urchin
Stats:
#1: Dex: He's a thief that regularly dodges the city guards.
#2: Cha: He's just a really nice guy. And we need it for Warlock.
#3: Wis: Goes along with trickery and sneaking around.
#4: Int: He likely never had a formal education but that doesn't stop him from thinking on his feet.
#5: Con: Like I said above, he's just a dude. No magic armor, no super soldier serum, no mutant abilities, very susceptible to stabbing, burning, and falling off a chair and breaking his neck.
#6: Str: Should probably be higher but not really necessary and better than dumping Con.
Class(es)
- Thief Rogue: He jumps an climbs through the streets of agrabah like a monkey so this works, especially with second story works to help mitigate dumped strength. Substitute scimitar for your we... Wait a minute, he actually uses a scimitar, so for once it doesn't need to be swapped out, cool.
- Genie pact Warlock: Pretty self explanatory. He's got a genie friend.
Can you guys tell I'm a bit more into it than I was in the K. Rool video? Not that anyone reads this entire thing. Oh well, time to watch the video, can't wait for Tulok's explanation why he's a Kenku Druid.
A cool image in my head is a warlock's patron manifesting to do things a spell does. A cooler image is a half-orc Aladdin
Pros: better strength and con for getaways, relentless endurance for if you don't get away, better melee crits to make your sneak attack better, and intimidation, you befriended a powerful extra-planar being, I'm intimidated. Plus half-orcs are hot.
Cons: You miss out on the feat, and a starting boost to more important stats.
Verdict: If Aladdin was a half-orc he wouldn't have needed to pretend he was a Prince.
Thought you were going to get pact of the chain and get Abu for it. But fantastic build 👌👍
Wow. What a Warlock Subclass.
If Tulok ever does Prince Ali
I really hope he puts
Strong as 10 regular men as a goal
So Tulok, how do you feel about that Smash reveal last night? One you already made, too!
This is really good. My only complaint is that Pact of the Chain would've given you Abu
I thought you were gonna go all the way on Thief Rogue, but that's my Animated-Series view talking. First movie only - totally go genie warlock. All those little not-wishes help that genie provides totally fits in as invocations and the like.
Also, charisma totally makes sense as a major stat - the only people that don't like Alladin are guards, because it is their job, and that snotty noble with the whip.
You know who else has a friend with magic and looks good in a vest and parachute pants? Tanya Degurechaff from Youjo Senki/Saga of Tanya the Evil.
Her friend that looks good in a vest and parachute pants is Visha. Visha would look good in Genie’s outfit.
Ooh true strike! My wish came true!
Thought you were going to go for pact of the chain for Abu but oh well. Good build overall though
Not a single clip of the live action film.
Myself and the algorithm approves
Monkey isn't an option for find familiar, but flying monkey is.
Remove fly speed and boom
If you ever get around to building Jafar, (Actually, make 2, for both Human and Genie versions, or a way to explain differences - Genie seems like a Fire Genasi - all that red), you have to reference the StarKid production, Twisted: An Untold Story of a Royal Vizier, wherein Ja'far is actually a decent adviser, trying to handle a corrupt Sultan, a naïve Princess, and let's not get started on that thief in the marketplace known as Aladdin (who is a 33 year-old manchild in this version of the tale). It's quite funny actually.
Now, to build Jafar -
He's Human (at least initially), so let's snag Animal Handling as a skill (for dealing with Iago and horse riding), and let's grab the Actor Feat. Boost Charisma and Intelligence.
Background - Courtier from SCAG is fairly close (get Insight, Persuasion, 2 languages) and Court Functionary feature - you know the movers and shakers, and how the inner working of the palace work - useful for a Vizier.
Stats - Charisma 15 (17 from boosts), Dexterity 14, Intelligence 13 (14 from boosts), Strength 12, Constitution is 10, and let's dump Wisdom (never noticed when Abu robbed him until afterwards, and let's not get started on that Final Wish, which turned him into a Genie)
Initial Class - Rogue - You get to grab 4 skills - Deception, Acrobatics, Intimidation, and Investigation. Place Expertise on Animal Handling and Deception. You also get Sneak Attack - useful for those times you need to pull a knife on someone, like a thief you have no further use for.
Next, go Bard - get Arcana so that he knows his magic stuff. Collage of Lore would be good. 2 spells to eventually get are Suggestion, for when you want the Sultan to do something, like giving you that diamond ring, and Awaken for Iago (reflavor a Raven to get a Parrot - it's mimicry is rather useful). By this point (9th level Bard), you'll also have Jack of all Trades, and Expertise on 2 more skills - Arcana and Investigation would be good, plus the following at Level 10 Bard - Performance and Acrobatics. Also, by this point, snag Performance (for obvious reasons), Slight of Hand, and Stealth. Also, bump up your Charisma, and then Dexterity.
Now, back to Rogue - go Arcane Trickster. Eventually, add Expertise on Slight of Hand and Stealth. Keep boosting Dexterity, or, if you prefer, Intelligence. until you have 10 Levels in Rogue.
Pros - Charismatic - expert at lying, and singing, lots of skills, with Expertise on 8 of them. Possibly 5d6 Sneak Attack damage in addition to what a Dagger or another dexterity-based/finesse based weapon could dish out, plus d10 Inspiration Dice (5 of them).
Cons - Low HP (103 total with the average being taken), no spells above the 5th level, and if you boosted your Intelligence instead of Dexterity, possibly a low AC and a low melee attack hit chance. Also, with that low Wisdom Score, there's a chance you might not notice something, or get tricked by your foes into doing something foolish.
Still, with your charisma, tell those lazy guards "Hey, You, you, you, and You! Grab that Street Rat and throw him off of the edge of a cliff, into the ocean." After that, work on charming those Nobles into doing your bidding. Also, you still have Iago - treat him nicely and maybe he'll be reasonably loyal to you.
This build is a diamond in the rough
With some tweaking, this could also be a pretty good Locke from final fantasy 6
Locke wouldn't have warlock though. Unless Phoenix counts as a patron but I doubt it since he only had it briefly.
I've never played Dissidia, but I've heard Locke is pretty consistently connected to Phoenix there. Probably go further into rogue, pick the fire genie patron, and use limited wish for free revivify
@@aidanboyle7374 Oh yeah I only played the first one. Kinda wish Celes was the second FF6 character.
I challenge you to create a Christmas special "How to Play" of Yukon Cornelius! A prospector that:

MONKEY ISN'T AN OPTION FOR FIND FAMILIAR
Love it.
@TuloktheBarbarian so there is an optional option in a certain module to have a flying monkey as your familiar... with that in mind, if I could have a monkey familiar, what would you change about the build?
Monkey can be a flavor shape for find familiar just use the cat stat block
Amazing video as always tulok, I was wondering if you would consider making a build for Frankenstein from noblesse? I figure he could make a very interesting hexblade warlock, I wonder what you would make of it?
It's been a while since I last read Noblesse, but I don't know how well it would translate. First off, Franky is pretty OP, so it would require some real focus to get strong enough spells. In addition, from what I recall a lot of the attacks they use are pretty generic energy attacks. Sure there's some punching and kicking (and I think Franky uses a scythe at one point?), but mostly it's just flashy color blasts. The doctor aspect of him would be interesting (maybe even enough to make him a Cleric build instead), but you'd have to really stretch to put any of his work in DnD terms.
@@caeligocielo5634 there's alot of op characters that tulok has translated into dnd, look at Gilgamesh and goku, you just need to accept that they are going to be a weaker version of themselves until the higher levels. As for the spells, I used to think that it would be difficult to translate them into his simple energy attacks, but then I realised it's just about aesthetic reskinning thanks to the Gilgamesh video. With the exception of ea, all of his attacks just revolve around shooting a million swords at you from the game of Babylon, but tulok reskinned damaging spells as gate of Babylon attacks. I figure you could do a similar thing for Frankenstein, and reskin lots of the warlock spells into dark energy attacks, as long as the basic foundation of the spell (range, damage, etc) is the same the form the spell takes shouldn't make that much difference.
You could’ve flavored the monkey as an imp.
Technically, a flying monkey can be a familiar with DM's permission (from Tomb of Annihilation).
So I got a couple villain suggestions.
1. Tomura Shigaraki
I was thinking Wizard with a bunch of necrotic or poison spells, Death Domain Cleric and Monk for punching good.
2. Master Xehanort
Any version of this guy would be fun, but if you do the old man, you could try possessing people. May I recommend Magic Jar for that?
PS: For Shigaraki, Alter Self is the closest thing to All For One I can find.
If you ever do literary characters, I know of a knight that can turn into a dragon - James Eckert of Gordon R. Dickson's Dragon Knight series.
Basics - James, and his then-fiancé, Angie, are from Late 20th century Michigan. An issue with an inventor/professor's device sends them to an alternative 14th Century world, around the equivalent of 1346, if the age of the Edward the Black Prince counterpart is any indication when James first encounters him, while rescuing him from a fallen Magikian. An early issue has James stuck in the body of a dragon, but after he and some newly-made friends fight, and beat, the Dark Powers messing things up, James was given a choice - go back to Michigan, or summon his body and stay in this alternative Medieval world. *Obvious Spoiler* James stays, and regains his human body. After this, James and his friends have lots of encounters with the Dark Powers and their forces.
Powers - Can turn himself into a dragon, as this is his big thing. Said dragon form, while stronger than a human, can't really carry a human weight around, nor breath fire or other such things. Also, any spells he has cannot harm people directly, but that's where illusions, restraining them, hypnotism, causing them to fall asleep, and on one occasion, putting the fear of a fate worse than death into the person's mind, come into play. He also knows how to heal himself and his friends.
Needs - James wears heavy (presumably something like plate) armor, shield, and longsword in a fight, and is okay with a lance, but he's not good with all weapons. Must also be able to ride a horse (Gorp, who is more like a trained Draft Horse). Must also be good at talking to people, especially persuading and lying to them. Must also be good at reading people and investigation stuff. To be fair, Dexterity will be the Dump Stat in any way you build this fella.
Please tell me this is leading up to a Santa clause build
