Hey so I filmed this video last week and some stuff has changed! I still stand by most of it. The OGL stuff is probably wrong, it's still not OFFICIALLY confirmed the new OGL will be bad, but it seems like it will be. So really, the part I'm standing by most is "if they mess up the OGL, F**k 'em we'll learn a new system". I honestly didn't think they'd be foolish enough to fumble the bag this hard, but I guess I underestimated them. There was a part of me that thought they might (hence me saying "F**K em if they mess up the OGL) but I thought they'd have the decency to wait until after the D&D movie came out to do that- if they did it at all., Nobody is reading this anyway, continue further to post your comment about how wrong I was about the OGL.
They could wait, or they could have a bunch of shiny new full priced products to be bought after you watch the film. Merchandising! Merchandising! Merchandising!
I like the idea of a Building Character: Revisited, where you just share ideas as how you might update a previous build or two without having to re-do the entire video.
I still maintain that it's perfectly possible to make a Sephiroth build with Omnislash, you just need to drop the Rogue levels that Tulok went for and instead sink 2 levels of Fighter into the build instead. Pick up Steel Wind Strike as well as Metamagic Adept: Quickened Spell as you invest the rest of the levels in Bladesong Wizard. After that a simple combo gets you what you want: Quickened Spell: Steel Wind Strike > Booming Blade > Action Surge > Attack > Extra Attack Cantrip: Booming Blade. That is 5+1+1+1 melee attacks at Lv.11... Ergo, a legitimate Octaslash! And on the next level you're going to be able to upgrade that into Steel Wind Strike > Action Surge > Steel Wind Strike for a "Decaslash" if you feel like it.
@@StriderZessei Truuue but then again the Final Fantasy anime swordsman final boss build will pretty much always be just out of reach stats-wise regardless (unless you roll up a character with a set of fixed die) so you kinda gotta pick your battles, y'know. And as far as I'm concerned? If I'm not going to be able to replicate the broken-tier stats anyway, then I may as well prioritize replicating the abilities as well as I possibly can. It's less min-max-y, sure, but I'm not a munchkin. ^^ (I've always actually kinda wondered why Square never invested in creating their own FF-based tabletop RPG. It seemed natural given their games' D&D origins.)
@@douglaselder5967 One that exists in Pathfinder. Pathfinder combat is way more varied in what kind of character you can make. You could easily have an unarmed paladin who wore a bathrobe and was good at haggling.
Since you mentioned Pokémon, something that could be a kind of spin-off of “Building Character” like with the Elden Ring builds that could be really fun is doing Pokémon runs where you build teams around a character, like “Oh, this character has Pokémon A because it fits their motif for this reason, and then Pokémon B because it reminds me of this ability of theirs”, etc. Regardless, though, Tulok, 100% get where you are coming from. You’ve been one of my favorite TH-camrs since I found your channel a few years back, and I look forward to seeing your new stuff
On the plus side, migrating over to Pathfinder would give you way more options for character creation, from ancestries to backgrounds to classes and archetypes. Even if WotC doesn't kill the OGL, I know a lot of people are migrating to PF2e, so diversifying the portfolio, as it were, by dipping your toe in to making PF2e builds wouldn't be an awful idea.
Let’s see what my favorite Pathfinder character thinks of Tulok switching to Pathfinder. Nenio? [Nenio watches the video, nods] I agree, if you don’t like food 2,declare it irrelevant and forget it! Great, so should he switch systems? Huh, were we talking about something? Dern it, Nenio!
@@erikwilliams1562 I'm actually the reverse. Pathfinder 1e main and learned almost everything about dnd 5e from Tulok. It's been super helpful in navigating options rather than copying builds.
Thanks for a legit hot take! I love building character and I'm glad to hear you'll still be giving us the goodness! And I'm excited to see more of this format!
I realized about a month ago that I went from watching all of your videos to maybe one or two a month and that's probably because you had already done all the characters that I wanted to see. Happy that 1D will give us a new shot at seeing them in a new way! I'll be watching your channel closely in the coming months for new content. I like your style of videos just as much as the actual builds so I'm excited to see where you go from here. Best of luck!
I'm more of a Pathfooder guy. Paizo hopefully has their ends covered now that they are on to Pathfinder 2E. Which is COMPLETELY FREE by the way, Starfinder too! In case you thought it might be a good time to test out systems... I dunno. Seems like a good time!
Honestly? I totally get you on reducing it to one a week and expanding your content. I would love to see more creative content like the homebrews and maybe more about Moriae setting, creatures etc. Maaaaybe you could feature patrons homebrew? … Yes. I need to be a patron-especially after you helped build my friend’s commission like The Phantom, The Last Unicorn, and Eda the Witch
I would honestly kill for a pathfinder'd 5e where everything is basically the same but with some added intricacies and the ability to specialize more. Mainly just because it'd be easy to get my group use it.
Pathfinder 2e is a lot like that. It's far smoother and less...nitty gritty from pathfinder 1e, coming from someone whose played a lot of PF1E and D&D 5e both.
@@olivierlajoie8891 Level Up is a big one, Big Fuckin' Axe, Symbaroum 5e, Trudvang 5e is another, and then there is The Ruin which is post-apoc, and League of Seekers which is Lovecraftian horror, off the top of my head
Well Tulok, I'm still gonna watch your stuff. You're pretty great you know. I posted this before I started watching. Having finished: I emphatically am going to keep watching your stuff. You *are* great.
I enjoy watching your Building Character videos since it helps teach me about how some skills or spells work through my own understanding of the character, and even clear up my understanding of how multiclass effects work (like Unarmed Fighting Fighter with Monk), so I'd be excited to see what you do with OneDND!
I love it, thank you for not having a panic-induced rage-session about the end times. Life finds a way, and if ODND sucks we’ll move on to something else and hope that 6.5 or 7e are good again.
@@joenathan3860 I can only assume that the banquet of food 1 is there because of demand. I guess, like all fast food, it appeals to those who can't cook and want everything done for them - even if they do end up eating the same, bland meals at every table.
$750,000 is gross not net, so a million dollar Kickstarter will probably have at least like $500,000-750,000 in expenses. Then paying 20% on the money over $750,000 is another $50,000 off the top. That's also assuming that they don't decide to lower that $750,000 figure with 30 days notice, which could be after a Kickstarter campaign ended but has not been fulfilled.
For reference. DnD 5e was called DnDNext during Development and play testing but that name was always gonna be temporary. OneDnD is probably the same thing in that regard
I for one would love to see a series of one-shots or even small campaigns played on the channel using some of the built characters. Some could be obvious, like doing a Marvel one-shot in a Marvel universe, or less obvious like a Smash Bros campaign in a Nintendo amalgam universe, or even freestyle a campaign where Seto Kaiba and Fluttershy have an adventure in the Lord of the Rings universe (because I needed some random). Consider it advertising for the character sheets.
Your material is so awesome and the love you put when showing it to us is the most important thing. I will keep using your characters and combinations throughout my hole campaings!
5e is where I started my D&D journey and it'll always hold a special place in my heart. I've watched your videos for a long time now and I see where you're coming from. I think that no matter which direction this all goes, you're still gonna have a loyal audience that'll come and watch your videos no matter what you post. There's SO MANY people who play dnd today and have started their journey with 5e and the same can be said for pathfinder, 3.5 and ect... If you ever do branch out and make content for One D&D, I can promise I will be there watching it to get my future character ideas and you will always have the best builds for 5e too. Much love Tulok, I wish you the best of luck in all these changes to come.
I take back what I said after looking at the recent leak. Wizards/Hasbaro is suuuuper greedy in its recent decision. I still wish you the best of luck along with all other content creators.
Honestly i kinda wanted more DnD youtubers talk about homebrew stuff so if that's the direction you are going im grabbing a ticket for the ride, specially if we get more Moriae lore.
I appreciate this. It’s been hard to know what exactly these changes signify. Anyway, your sense of humor has been what has kept me with your channel, so I’m looking forward to seeing what you do next-DND or no.
Right now, we don't actually know what the new OGL will look like. There was a leaked OGL that was allegedly supposed to go live yesterday but didn't, which makes me think they are still making changes to it. What we got in the leak was very disheartening though. They call it the Open Gaming License, but it's a far cry from "open". Good thing mechanics can't be copyrighted, but IP and actual written text can. So, like, D&D stuff can be replicated, it just can't look or read like D&D (that's IP).
Hey Tulok! For years you've been helping us build our favorite fictional characters in D&D. What if our favorite fictional character is a charming rogue that helps us build our favorite characters in D&D? TH-cam personalities are at least *slightly* fictional! Pro tip: the tease of chest hair needs to be a class feature. Not sure how you would build that, let's find out! Seriously though, your videos are fun to watch and good for inspiration. You do great work!
My quick pitch: * Race: Vuman - pick the Prodigy Feat (Expertise on Performance, Proficiency with Computer-user's Tools and one Language) * Background: Build your own with Proficiency in Investigation and persuasion * Abilities: Focus on Intelligence and Charisma * Class: Wizard (Enchantment) The moment you are able to, make a Simulacrum of yourself and trap it in a polished crystal plate that allows vision both ways. The simulacrum can then use their Hypnotic gaze on anyone looking into the plate.
@@TheRawrnstuff Simulacrum's a good call, but this build needs some bard, I think. If sorcerers get simulacrum, swap out wizard for that to go with the bard. We'll be using the standard stats out of the Player's Handbook, so we have to keep multiclassing minimums in mind.
@@matthill5426 Sorcerers don't get the Hypnotic Gaze of the enchaters, nor Simulacrum, which was the entire bit with the build. I guess you could go Wizard (Enchantment) 2 / Bard (iunnow) 14 to pick up Simulacrum with Magical Secrets, but that delays Simulacrum by 3 levels from 13 to 16.
@@K_i_t_t_y84 I couldn't find a class feature for that, unfortunately. Maybe workshop a Feat for it with the DM? Base it on the 'Diplomat' Feat from 'Unearthed Arcana 38 - Feats for Skills', perhaps?
Tulok, you sir have intrigued me. I shall await the forthcoming videos with an open mind. Thanks for continuing and not giving up. This Chanel has provided many ideas and even full blown belly laughs. Thanks from Tampa Florida
Ngl, New Tulok (Newlok?) sounds like a great content model. I do enjoy Building Character but I like you and Mango as creators more than that, so I’m excited to see what new stuff you’ll do. And also it’ll be fun running back some old characters with all the spicy new content that’s been released in between. Thanks for keeping us up to date, and good luck!
You're absolutely right, which is why I'll continue ignoring everything they're doing and still play 3.5, ie, when D&D actually required thought to play. (actually I'm sticking with Pathfinder, which is basically 3.5+. Screw PF2)
EDIT: Rereading the description, this was made before more of the exact details of the new OGL came out, but for people who haven't seen or heard anything about that, this is going to run through the biggest concerns people have about it, which are mainly that: 1.) The new OGL is a complete and total replacement for EVERY OTHER VERSION of WotC's old OGLs, meaning that new third party content for 5e and 3.5e (and potentially even other games like Pathfinder that are built on the old OGLs) will fall under the new OGL, which makes it impossible to just not move on to OneD&D because newly made 5e stuff has to comply with the new OGL, which is a complete contradiction to WotC's 20+ year promise that the current OGL couldn't and wouldn't be changed or overwritten; 2.) Any content made in the new OGL (which includes new stuff for old games/editions, and all sorts of content including streamed games like future seasons of CR or D20) becomes the property of WotC, and they can reproduce it, use it for their own books/content, or take it down however and whenever they want; and 3.) The 50k/750k marks aren't for the actual profits a creator/company makes, they apply to the total money brought in before production costs are paid back, meaning that companies and even relatively small teams who make physical books or do live shows/streams, or sell merch can hit the mark for owing WotC royalties despite not making anywhere close to 750k in actual profits. Knowing that a lot of creators don't make a ton of profits off of their content, there's a real chance this will really hurt a lot of people. This video obviously is pretty outdated about the whole situation as people are discussing it currently, but under the new OGL, WotC would essentially be trying to take ownership of every single piece of new D&D (and possibly Pathfinder) content that's published after the new OGL takes effect, and there wouldn't be any recourse for creators, unless a law firm decides to spend years and likely millions fighting Hasbro in court over the decision to back out on the old OGL. As a huge fan of both Magic: the Gathering and D&D who has watched Hasbro pretty thoroughly fuck over one of my favorite games over the past couple years in hopes that they could double their yearly earnings several years in a row, I really don't think they deserve the benefit of the doubt on this one when they've already stated that they think D&D is undermonetized, especially given that their solution to Magic's "undermonetization" was selling $250 booster packs of random, tournament-unusable cards. WotC has had no issues driving Magic's reputation and community good will into the ground recently, and I can't help but feel like they're going to do the exact same thing to D&D if people don't rally hard against them (and I also think it's important that people coming to this video in the future understand exactly what's up with the situation as we currently understand it)
Tulok, you make a lot of good points (wish i could finish the vid but i got work in like 10 minutes). As is, Imma be sayin' f**k 'em anyways, I got a group that just completed our first full year of gaming in September (many of whom had no ttrpg experience b4) and Im not gonna force a change like an entire system on them regardless of what the officials say will or wont be changed. Much love, keep up the amazing videos.
I am stoked for whatever Tulok does and have thoroughly enjoyed this format. He's made the whole oneDND thing very clear and inoffensive/unthreatening, and everything else he makes is great, everyone go watch all the Elden Ring and Homebrew videos 2 or 3 times, they're great and worth it
This was an awesome video, I've been sceptical of one dnd. At first I hated it, then I liked it when I looked at it, then I looked at it more closely and am now impartial. I'm intrigued to see where dnd and more specifically your channel goes from here.
Waste of time??? Bro - this is a great opportunity - maybe your backlog will be out dated, but those that continue to play the version it will be great. With the update you can revisit all of those builds and build them again. What a great source of income!! Better than Hollywood remakes - as yours will be a new adventure! Personally I can't wait to see how your learning curve (and perspective) is with the new material - again great fodder for a channel as cool as this one!! I'm with you for the long haul!
This is one of like, four channels that I just immediately watch when it comes out. That's not going to change. In fact, you know what? I'm joining the Patreon, fuck it. Keep on trucking.
For all it's worth, I watch these videos more for their entertainment value than for build ideas/guides. I'm a willing forever-DM, there's no way I'd ever get to play any of these builds.
Thanks for setting expectations going ahead into 2023. I love your builds, especially when a character I adore is given some attention. But now that you say they’ll be less frequent, I’ll be sure to temper my expectations. I do look forward to to seeing what else you have planned for the channel.
I’m pretty surprised that you haven’t covered Adventure Time yet for Building Character. If I had to guess, I’d say Finn’s a Reborn Samurai Fighter/Artificer to be able to get BMO or NEPTR, Jake’s a Bugbear Rune Knight Fighter/Open Hand Monk, PB’s a Reborn Alchemist Artificer, and Marceline’s a Vampire Spirits Bard
Joined my first gaming table in high school just before 4e came out, they and everyone was super pissed about GSL. I played maybe 1 session of 3.5 before we switched to Pathfinder for exactly these reasons: if we have to learn a new system, why not learn a new system where we can make homebrew and support the brewers? But DnD Next was released and became 5e, and 5e was pretty good, so in the early wave of the current renaissance we all switched again, now in separate groups in separate states. Soon as this new OGL stuff came to light? The old gang’s reconnected over Discord to learn Pathfinder 2e together, so we can teach it to our new groups. Haven’t talked to some of them in a decade, thanks for fucking up WotC ❤
Pathfinder 2E is a fantastic system. More people should try it out. I straight up prefer it to 5e (its nothing like 3 or 3.5. It kind of takes the best ideas of 4e and 5e and combines them but with WAY more player and dm tools and options).
Honestly your builds will always be relevant. I love them. Not for the characters you make but because they make me think. I've only used one of your builds and even that I tweaked. Keep doing you and make the change as needed
We love you Phil! I just started my first campaign, modeling my character off of your blaidd build. I'm also very thankful for creators like you who want to make good content, not just make content. You're a good one Phil, don't let em take the fire in your heart. By the way.... Symbiote spiderman when?
I’m excited to see you branchout. As someone who watches all the videos on your two youtube accounts and watches you Twitch whenever I can catch it, I appreciate the variety. I love your videos but there are only so many anime characters I've never watched take 20 levels in a single class I can appreciate. What games are you interested in? Spending one of the new Thursday videos talking about that could lead the community to make suggestions. Building a Commander Magic the Gathering Deck as the Iron Man could be a fun watch, playing a Pokemon Scarlet playthrough with a team based on the Hulk could be amusing. In the DND vein a choose your own adventure video series could be fun or detailing DND sessions to run as a DM and putting the dungeon maps on Patreon could be cool. I really just want to see you be as successful as possible while enjoying the content you are making. Best of luck!
I love all D&D builds. They are the highlight of my Tues and Thurs. I don't even play Elden Rings, but love the Elden Ring Builds. I was wondering what Tulok was gonna because of D&D: One. Eh, makes me sad but at the same time... I understand. If all else fails.... Patherfinder 2e character builds? lol
I'm very excited to hear your decision to try new things. While I love your building character videos I subscribed because of how you present them and your obvious dedication. You deserve to be able to make the content you want to make and I can't wait to see what you decide to do!
While I can’t speak for everyone, I love your content and don’t see me or my group changing over from 5e until the new system has matured. (We did did not switch from 4e to 5e until Xanathar’s came out- we like options). So keep doing what you’re doing friend! We watch just as much for the cool concepts, entertainment, and ideas as we do for the hard and fast rules for your builds.
I’d love to see you make builds with Pathfinder 2 to be honest! There’s more layers for each class, ancestries, backgrounds, feats, and more that could translate for builds feeling more unique! Take more work though, but it would be cool!
If the OGL leak that came out earlier today was correct then any 5e Hombrew and Pathfinder (1E and 2E) will be subject to the new OGL 1.1 since it supersedes the existing 1.0 licence (though there will likely be a lengthy legal battle to decide how enforceable that is if it is released in the current state). Seems like the lesson they took from 4e was to cover their asses so no one can compete without starting from square one or giving WotC a ridiculously large portion of their revenue. A lot of what you've said in this video regarding the OGL can be summed up as "we can just use a system with a permissive OGL like Pathfinder or 5E" but at this point that's exactly what WotC is trying to remove as an option. Might be worth reconsidering now that we have more up to date info since if this OGL leak is accurate then that point is moot. This isn't meant to be a gotcha or anything like that, I didn't think the new OGL would be anywhere near as egregious as what was in the leak, but after reading the news it's just really difficult to listen to people defending WotC by saying "you have other options" when they're actively trying to destroy alternatives to One DnD.
I wanted to say: 1) I really like your spirit and attitude that comes through in this video & I appreciate your work ethic. 2) I am excited about a new One D&D series of Building Character when the 2024 revision is released. 3) I am interested to view your new material. I have always enjoyed your videos (shock: I am not a video gamer so I have not watched the Building Character episodes on video game characters I do not know...but I loved the Super Mario ones!). Thanks and cheers!
Tulok, while Pathfinder isn't as big as DND is it still has a very large following. Have you considered looking into the system and making videos about how to play characters in that?
I will definitely remain, slowly my intrest has become less “oh I know this character I wonder what it is” and “more what jokes and weird combos will Tulock pull out for this stranger!”. I know I’m one view in a ocean of fans, but I for one am excited to see out fav librarian Barbarian grow.
I love several of your newer builds (Elsa, Moon Knight, Mad Max/Ash double feature) but honestly your writing and comedic timing are phenomenal, you could read a technical manual for maintenance and repair of a washing machines and I'm sure it would be entertaining. Thanks for the work you do.
As someone who over the last couple of days has just seen "CRITICAL ROLE CAUSED WOTC TO KILL DND AND PUNISH FANS" and "WHY WOTC ARE KILLING THEIR CASH COW: EXPLAINED 🙉🤑🤮" plastered everywhere, thank you for taking the time to explain what's actually going on and why my homebrew game isn't gonna get me firing-lined . Love you Tulok, you really put in the work
I don't care about One DND/6th Edition, whatever they're calling it. There's plenty for me to do in 5E, and I'm sure the internet can connect me to at least 3-4 like-minded people. Good on Tulok, for being optimistic and confident enough to experiment. Building Character is great, and I like your homebrew too.
While the idea of WotC fumbling again and kind of imploding with One Dnd is both funny and exasperating, the fact that we'll be getting more fun homebrew and wholey new ventures is exciting. If things end up going to F-it route, I do wonder what Pathfinder esque creations might rise from it. Maybe in a year from now, we'll be getting videos from you on using those systems. Regardless, I do hope you make more things that you want to make and that they're successful. Know it would be a ton of work, but a live play in Moriae has been a dream since the Wire Weaver came out.
I loved the video, I love your energy when your on camera and sense I've been drifting away from building character this has pulled me right back. Totally agree, I hope this change makes you happy and pulls it more intrest. Also low key would love a Paladin of bigotry subclass, like the older favourite foe from the ranger but your alignment is evil and your character is just a bad person
"With blackjack and unarmed smites" Fantastic line. As a dm who allows smites on any non spell attack, and counts monk unarmed as finesse for sneak attack reasons, I felt that.
I’m planning on still playing 5e. If it’s not broke don’t fix it. Also OneD&D seems like minor changes. I don’t wanna buy new books or use the virtual tabletop. So there’s really no point in playing One. Also the attempts to revoke the old OGL is scummy and I don’t wanna support their new business decisions. So your backlog content will still be viable for me and people like me :)
Fun Fact about D&D and plagiarism, my local D&D convention (PrinceCon) has only ever banned two people. One was some rando who got banned for being a jerk. The other? Gary Gygax. The story is that he ripped off somebody’s homebrew monster and they got salty about it so they banned the creator of the entire game system.
I do have to push back on the idea of putting the word generous near WotC. Without players, D&D is a lot of expensive and pretty paper. We create the value. Also looking forward to the new stuff, I always like these style of videos when you make them!
Honestly, Highly recommend Pathfinder 2e. It's a really good mix of 3.5 and 5e. Instead of selecting a subclass and getting basically your entire kit decided for you, you get 40+ feats to distribute. Sounds like a lot, but imagine if instead of 5e giving you a set linier progression, you got to select skills from any of the subclass options for your class, and mix and match as you went? Or, imagine being able to pick up a more focused set of skills, like archery, or getting really good with two weapon fighting, without sacrificing your main class skills. It's got the simplified modifiers and skill checks of 5e, with a more expansive character build and what I think is a more explorable combat system with 3 actions per turn. Don't need to move? Want to make another attack instead? Go for it. Ultimately people will enjoy different things, but I highly recommend anyone that enjoys being able to make personalized builds, or explore a vast character builder of feats and skills, give P2e a try.
Thank you for this most measured and pragmatic take (even with the clickbaity thumbnail). I've been muting folks WHO ARE YELLING FIRE IN THE CROWDED THEATER!!!!
I genuinely think doing "rebuilds" is probably not a bad idea, especially if OneD&D becomes widely accepted by the player base. And if OneD&D isn't widely accepted by the player base, then I'm sure most of them will still be playing 5E and your videos are safe! Obviously, I have no idea how content creation within the avenue of Dungeons and Dragons works, so my word is worth very little lol
I liked your Elden Ring builds in D&D; personally I'd like to see more of them if you wanted to build them.. I actually like your runs in Elden Ring based on your D&D builds; it makes me want to play Elden Ring and try some of your builds.
Hey so I filmed this video last week and some stuff has changed! I still stand by most of it. The OGL stuff is probably wrong, it's still not OFFICIALLY confirmed the new OGL will be bad, but it seems like it will be.

Never underestimate the stupidity and greed of Hasbro. (WOTC)

I'm excited for a wider variety of stuff, I hope it goes well!
I like the idea of a Building Character: Revisited, where you just share ideas as how you might update a previous build or two without having to re-do the entire video.
Shut up and take my views.
With this, he can keep pumping out videos in 5e, and then make the same character later in One D&D
I still maintain that it's perfectly possible to make a Sephiroth build with Omnislash, you just need to drop the Rogue levels that Tulok went for and instead sink 2 levels of Fighter into the build instead. Pick up Steel Wind Strike as well as Metamagic Adept: Quickened Spell as you invest the rest of the levels in Bladesong Wizard. After that a simple combo gets you what you want: Quickened Spell: Steel Wind Strike > Booming Blade > Action Surge > Attack > Extra Attack Cantrip: Booming Blade. That is 5+1+1+1 melee attacks at Lv.11... Ergo, a legitimate Octaslash! And on the next level you're going to be able to upgrade that into Steel Wind Strike > Action Surge > Steel Wind Strike for a "Decaslash" if you feel like it.

Since you mentioned Pokémon, something that could be a kind of spin-off of “Building Character” like with the Elden Ring builds that could be really fun is doing Pokémon runs where you build teams around a character, like “Oh, this character has Pokémon A because it fits their motif for this reason, and then Pokémon B because it reminds me of this ability of theirs”, etc.
Regardless, though, Tulok, 100% get where you are coming from. You’ve been one of my favorite TH-camrs since I found your channel a few years back, and I look forward to seeing your new stuff
On the plus side, migrating over to Pathfinder would give you way more options for character creation, from ancestries to backgrounds to classes and archetypes. Even if WotC doesn't kill the OGL, I know a lot of people are migrating to PF2e, so diversifying the portfolio, as it were, by dipping your toe in to making PF2e builds wouldn't be an awful idea.
but that should be a different channel.
Honestly I know next to nothing about pathfinder, so Tulok does Pathfinder would be a great tutorial for new players
Let’s see what my favorite Pathfinder character thinks of Tulok switching to Pathfinder. Nenio?
[Nenio watches the video, nods] I agree, if you don’t like food 2,declare it irrelevant and forget it!
Great, so should he switch systems?
Huh, were we talking about something?
Dern it, Nenio!
@@erikwilliams1562 I'm actually the reverse. Pathfinder 1e main and learned almost everything about dnd 5e from Tulok. It's been super helpful in navigating options rather than copying builds.
City of Mist is pretty great for a grand variety of characters, too
Thanks for a legit hot take! I love building character and I'm glad to hear you'll still be giving us the goodness! And I'm excited to see more of this format!
I’d continue to watch BC in 5e, but i’d also watch all 400+ BC’s done in food 2. I’m hungry now
@@augustus1138 Maybe it's time for a Dimension 20 "A Crown of Candy" and Tulok crossover? Building FOOD Character? I'd eat it up.
@@StoryPhoenixMedia 🤣🤣
They're totally fumbling the bag, yes.
I realized about a month ago that I went from watching all of your videos to maybe one or two a month and that's probably because you had already done all the characters that I wanted to see. Happy that 1D will give us a new shot at seeing them in a new way! I'll be watching your channel closely in the coming months for new content. I like your style of videos just as much as the actual builds so I'm excited to see where you go from here. Best of luck!
I am subscribing almost totally on you mentioning Matt's Bar and the juicy lucy. Minnesota's greatest culinary contribution to the world.
I'm more of a Pathfooder guy. Paizo hopefully has their ends covered now that they are on to Pathfinder 2E. Which is COMPLETELY FREE by the way, Starfinder too! In case you thought it might be a good time to test out systems... I dunno. Seems like a good time!
Honestly?
I totally get you on reducing it to one a week and expanding your content. I would love to see more creative content like the homebrews and maybe more about Moriae setting, creatures etc.
Maaaaybe you could feature patrons homebrew?
… Yes. I need to be a patron-especially after you helped build my friend’s commission like The Phantom, The Last Unicorn, and Eda the Witch
Wait, when did those happen?
I would honestly kill for a pathfinder'd 5e where everything is basically the same but with some added intricacies and the ability to specialize more. Mainly just because it'd be easy to get my group use it.
Hey funny you say that, I'm doing exactly that right now
Pathfinder 2e is a lot like that. It's far smoother and less...nitty gritty from pathfinder 1e, coming from someone whose played a lot of PF1E and D&D 5e both.
There are games out there that are 5e with tweaks which fix the issues
@@feralgamersincrpg do you have examples? I'd like to hear about them!
@@olivierlajoie8891 Level Up is a big one, Big Fuckin' Axe, Symbaroum 5e, Trudvang 5e is another, and then there is The Ruin which is post-apoc, and League of Seekers which is Lovecraftian horror, off the top of my head
Well Tulok, I'm still gonna watch your stuff. You're pretty great you know.
I posted this before I started watching. Having finished: I emphatically am going to keep watching your stuff. You *are* great.
I enjoy watching your Building Character videos since it helps teach me about how some skills or spells work through my own understanding of the character, and even clear up my understanding of how multiclass effects work (like Unarmed Fighting Fighter with Monk), so I'd be excited to see what you do with OneDND!
I love it, thank you for not having a panic-induced rage-session about the end times. Life finds a way, and if ODND sucks we’ll move on to something else and hope that 6.5 or 7e are good again.
Food 2 is annoying. I’m going to keep with food 1.
I gave up at food -4 and switched to something more nutritious.
Food 2 isn’t out yet
@@TheLegendaryLegacy true
There is too much stuff for food 1 out already. If anything homebrew food 1 is going to be the go to.
@@joenathan3860 I can only assume that the banquet of food 1 is there because of demand. I guess, like all fast food, it appeals to those who can't cook and want everything done for them - even if they do end up eating the same, bland meals at every table.
Sounds like it’s high time to begin archiving Tulok builds for future generations.
$750,000 is gross not net, so a million dollar Kickstarter will probably have at least like $500,000-750,000 in expenses. Then paying 20% on the money over $750,000 is another $50,000 off the top. That's also assuming that they don't decide to lower that $750,000 figure with 30 days notice, which could be after a Kickstarter campaign ended but has not been fulfilled.
For reference. DnD 5e was called DnDNext during Development and play testing but that name was always gonna be temporary. OneDnD is probably the same thing in that regard
I for one would love to see a series of one-shots or even small campaigns played on the channel using some of the built characters. Some could be obvious, like doing a Marvel one-shot in a Marvel universe, or less obvious like a Smash Bros campaign in a Nintendo amalgam universe, or even freestyle a campaign where Seto Kaiba and Fluttershy have an adventure in the Lord of the Rings universe (because I needed some random). Consider it advertising for the character sheets.
Damn, the production quality on this is amazing! Can't believe you managed to get animations n stuff about a topic less than a week old
Your material is so awesome and the love you put when showing it to us is the most important thing.
I will keep using your characters and combinations throughout my hole campaings!
5e is where I started my D&D journey and it'll always hold a special place in my heart. I've watched your videos for a long time now and I see where you're coming from. I think that no matter which direction this all goes, you're still gonna have a loyal audience that'll come and watch your videos no matter what you post. There's SO MANY people who play dnd today and have started their journey with 5e and the same can be said for pathfinder, 3.5 and ect... If you ever do branch out and make content for One D&D, I can promise I will be there watching it to get my future character ideas and you will always have the best builds for 5e too. Much love Tulok, I wish you the best of luck in all these changes to come.
I take back what I said after looking at the recent leak. Wizards/Hasbaro is suuuuper greedy in its recent decision. I still wish you the best of luck along with all other content creators.
Honestly i kinda wanted more DnD youtubers talk about homebrew stuff so if that's the direction you are going im grabbing a ticket for the ride, specially if we get more Moriae lore.
Finally someone who isn’t just fear mongering. Keep up the good work and we’ll be here for ur vids despite the system changes!
I appreciate this. It’s been hard to know what exactly these changes signify.
Anyway, your sense of humor has been what has kept me with your channel, so I’m looking forward to seeing what you do next-DND or no.
Right now, we don't actually know what the new OGL will look like. There was a leaked OGL that was allegedly supposed to go live yesterday but didn't, which makes me think they are still making changes to it.
What we got in the leak was very disheartening though. They call it the Open Gaming License, but it's a far cry from "open".
Good thing mechanics can't be copyrighted, but IP and actual written text can. So, like, D&D stuff can be replicated, it just can't look or read like D&D (that's IP).
@@TheRawrnstuff ahh that makes sense. Thanks!
Thank you for your consistency and quality
Hey Tulok! For years you've been helping us build our favorite fictional characters in D&D. What if our favorite fictional character is a charming rogue that helps us build our favorite characters in D&D? TH-cam personalities are at least *slightly* fictional!
Pro tip: the tease of chest hair needs to be a class feature. Not sure how you would build that, let's find out!
Seriously though, your videos are fun to watch and good for inspiration. You do great work!
My quick pitch:
* Race: Vuman - pick the Prodigy Feat (Expertise on Performance, Proficiency with Computer-user's Tools and one Language)
* Background: Build your own with Proficiency in Investigation and persuasion
* Abilities: Focus on Intelligence and Charisma
* Class: Wizard (Enchantment)
The moment you are able to, make a Simulacrum of yourself and trap it in a polished crystal plate that allows vision both ways. The simulacrum can then use their Hypnotic gaze on anyone looking into the plate.
@@TheRawrnstuff Simulacrum's a good call, but this build needs some bard, I think. If sorcerers get simulacrum, swap out wizard for that to go with the bard. We'll be using the standard stats out of the Player's Handbook, so we have to keep multiclassing minimums in mind.
I always appreciate the chest hair, so it definitely needs to be standard for the Tulok class.
@@matthill5426 Sorcerers don't get the Hypnotic Gaze of the enchaters, nor Simulacrum, which was the entire bit with the build.
I guess you could go
Wizard (Enchantment) 2 / Bard (iunnow) 14
to pick up Simulacrum with Magical Secrets, but that delays Simulacrum by 3 levels from 13 to 16.
@@K_i_t_t_y84 I couldn't find a class feature for that, unfortunately. Maybe workshop a Feat for it with the DM?
Base it on the 'Diplomat' Feat from 'Unearthed Arcana 38 - Feats for Skills', perhaps?
Tulok, you sir have intrigued me. I shall await the forthcoming videos with an open mind.
Thanks for continuing and not giving up. This Chanel has provided many ideas and even full blown belly laughs.
Thanks from Tampa Florida
I look forward to seeing how you branch out with your content, I've always enjoyed your channel more for you than for D&D so I think this'll be fun
I always figured you had long-term plans for future versions of D&D being a thing. I'll just say good luck dude :D
Ngl, New Tulok (Newlok?) sounds like a great content model. I do enjoy Building Character but I like you and Mango as creators more than that, so I’m excited to see what new stuff you’ll do. And also it’ll be fun running back some old characters with all the spicy new content that’s been released in between. Thanks for keeping us up to date, and good luck!
we can just ignore DND one and still play 5e (or better yet, explore other TTRPG)
You're absolutely right, which is why I'll continue ignoring everything they're doing and still play 3.5, ie, when D&D actually required thought to play.
(actually I'm sticking with Pathfinder, which is basically 3.5+. Screw PF2)
It's true, but I won't.
Pathfinder here we come!!
EDIT: Rereading the description, this was made before more of the exact details of the new OGL came out, but for people who haven't seen or heard anything about that, this is going to run through the biggest concerns people have about it, which are mainly that: 1.) The new OGL is a complete and total replacement for EVERY OTHER VERSION of WotC's old OGLs, meaning that new third party content for 5e and 3.5e (and potentially even other games like Pathfinder that are built on the old OGLs) will fall under the new OGL, which makes it impossible to just not move on to OneD&D because newly made 5e stuff has to comply with the new OGL, which is a complete contradiction to WotC's 20+ year promise that the current OGL couldn't and wouldn't be changed or overwritten; 2.) Any content made in the new OGL (which includes new stuff for old games/editions, and all sorts of content including streamed games like future seasons of CR or D20) becomes the property of WotC, and they can reproduce it, use it for their own books/content, or take it down however and whenever they want; and 3.) The 50k/750k marks aren't for the actual profits a creator/company makes, they apply to the total money brought in before production costs are paid back, meaning that companies and even relatively small teams who make physical books or do live shows/streams, or sell merch can hit the mark for owing WotC royalties despite not making anywhere close to 750k in actual profits. Knowing that a lot of creators don't make a ton of profits off of their content, there's a real chance this will really hurt a lot of people.
This video obviously is pretty outdated about the whole situation as people are discussing it currently, but under the new OGL, WotC would essentially be trying to take ownership of every single piece of new D&D (and possibly Pathfinder) content that's published after the new OGL takes effect, and there wouldn't be any recourse for creators, unless a law firm decides to spend years and likely millions fighting Hasbro in court over the decision to back out on the old OGL.
As a huge fan of both Magic: the Gathering and D&D who has watched Hasbro pretty thoroughly fuck over one of my favorite games over the past couple years in hopes that they could double their yearly earnings several years in a row, I really don't think they deserve the benefit of the doubt on this one when they've already stated that they think D&D is undermonetized, especially given that their solution to Magic's "undermonetization" was selling $250 booster packs of random, tournament-unusable cards. WotC has had no issues driving Magic's reputation and community good will into the ground recently, and I can't help but feel like they're going to do the exact same thing to D&D if people don't rally hard against them (and I also think it's important that people coming to this video in the future understand exactly what's up with the situation as we currently understand it)
Sorta was expecting this to be a hello fresh ad for a bit.
Tulok, you make a lot of good points (wish i could finish the vid but i got work in like 10 minutes). As is, Imma be sayin' f**k 'em anyways, I got a group that just completed our first full year of gaming in September (many of whom had no ttrpg experience b4) and Im not gonna force a change like an entire system on them regardless of what the officials say will or wont be changed. Much love, keep up the amazing videos.
I didn't expect this to be this positive this was a needed insert in the online discourse.
I am stoked for whatever Tulok does and have thoroughly enjoyed this format. He's made the whole oneDND thing very clear and inoffensive/unthreatening, and everything else he makes is great, everyone go watch all the Elden Ring and Homebrew videos 2 or 3 times, they're great and worth it
This was an awesome video, I've been sceptical of one dnd. At first I hated it, then I liked it when I looked at it, then I looked at it more closely and am now impartial. I'm intrigued to see where dnd and more specifically your channel goes from here.
Calculating the value of the human soul using a Nickelback song sounds like the exact content I been subscribed for
Excited to see new types of videos and happy channel is adapting to its audience some never do.
Waste of time??? Bro - this is a great opportunity - maybe your backlog will be out dated, but those that continue to play the version it will be great. With the update you can revisit all of those builds and build them again. What a great source of income!! Better than Hollywood remakes - as yours will be a new adventure! Personally I can't wait to see how your learning curve (and perspective) is with the new material - again great fodder for a channel as cool as this one!! I'm with you for the long haul!
This is one of like, four channels that I just immediately watch when it comes out. That's not going to change.
In fact, you know what? I'm joining the Patreon, fuck it. Keep on trucking.
For all it's worth, I watch these videos more for their entertainment value than for build ideas/guides. I'm a willing forever-DM, there's no way I'd ever get to play any of these builds.
I honestly am not surprised about this. Hope you make the content you wanna make and that it keeps you afloat. Good luck
Thanks for setting expectations going ahead into 2023. I love your builds, especially when a character I adore is given some attention. But now that you say they’ll be less frequent, I’ll be sure to temper my expectations. I do look forward to to seeing what else you have planned for the channel.
I’m pretty surprised that you haven’t covered Adventure Time yet for Building Character. If I had to guess, I’d say Finn’s a Reborn Samurai Fighter/Artificer to be able to get BMO or NEPTR, Jake’s a Bugbear Rune Knight Fighter/Open Hand Monk, PB’s a Reborn Alchemist Artificer, and Marceline’s a Vampire Spirits Bard
Joined my first gaming table in high school just before 4e came out, they and everyone was super pissed about GSL. I played maybe 1 session of 3.5 before we switched to Pathfinder for exactly these reasons: if we have to learn a new system, why not learn a new system where we can make homebrew and support the brewers? But DnD Next was released and became 5e, and 5e was pretty good, so in the early wave of the current renaissance we all switched again, now in separate groups in separate states. Soon as this new OGL stuff came to light? The old gang’s reconnected over Discord to learn Pathfinder 2e together, so we can teach it to our new groups. Haven’t talked to some of them in a decade, thanks for fucking up WotC ❤
Pathfinder 2E is a fantastic system. More people should try it out. I straight up prefer it to 5e (its nothing like 3 or 3.5. It kind of takes the best ideas of 4e and 5e and combines them but with WAY more player and dm tools and options).
Honestly your builds will always be relevant. I love them. Not for the characters you make but because they make me think. I've only used one of your builds and even that I tweaked. Keep doing you and make the change as needed
This is so fabulously edited and produced 11/10. High quality barbarian content.
I will be here standing by my favorite barbarian!
>also there's a new fruit called pomblu
I did *WHAT?!* 😳😳😳
This was a really well-done and informative video, and now I want a Jucy Lucy. Thanks, Phil!
I’m excited to see you branching out, all your non building character videos have been great so far!
We love you Phil! I just started my first campaign, modeling my character off of your blaidd build. I'm also very thankful for creators like you who want to make good content, not just make content. You're a good one Phil, don't let em take the fire in your heart. By the way.... Symbiote spiderman when?
Thanks for the update and info. Also the TH-cam tip. Good stuff to know. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the other stuff you have in the works.
The "Google Inflation on your work computer" bit will actually get the most normal responses compared to when you normally do it
I’m excited to see you branchout. As someone who watches all the videos on your two youtube
accounts and watches you Twitch whenever I can catch it, I appreciate the variety. I love your videos but there are only so many anime characters I've never watched take 20 levels in a single class I can appreciate. What games are you interested in? Spending one of the new Thursday videos talking about that could lead the community to make suggestions. Building a Commander Magic the Gathering Deck as the Iron Man could be a fun watch, playing a Pokemon Scarlet playthrough with a team based on the Hulk could be amusing. In the DND vein a choose your own adventure video series could be fun or detailing DND sessions to run as a DM and putting the dungeon maps on Patreon could be cool. I really just want to see you be as successful as possible while enjoying the content you are making. Best of luck!
One d&d stuff aside, I would love to see more homebrew from you! Big fan of the homebrew on the channel already
I love all D&D builds. They are the highlight of my Tues and Thurs. I don't even play Elden Rings, but love the Elden Ring Builds.
I was wondering what Tulok was gonna because of D&D: One. Eh, makes me sad but at the same time... I understand.
If all else fails.... Patherfinder 2e character builds? lol
I'm very excited to hear your decision to try new things. While I love your building character videos I subscribed because of how you present them and your obvious dedication. You deserve to be able to make the content you want to make and I can't wait to see what you decide to do!
Honestly I really enjoyed your home-brew! More of that would be fantastic!!
Thank you for sticking to reality in covering these changes! My personal backup strategy in case I don’t like Food 6 is Savage Food.
tbh it doesn't even need OGL changes for people to go up in arms and swear off the whole company, it's just pure knee-jerk reaction
I've enjoyed your past videos. Good luck !
While I can’t speak for everyone, I love your content and don’t see me or my group changing over from 5e until the new system has matured. (We did did not switch from 4e to 5e until Xanathar’s came out- we like options). So keep doing what you’re doing friend! We watch just as much for the cool concepts, entertainment, and ideas as we do for the hard and fast rules for your builds.
I’d love to see you make builds with Pathfinder 2 to be honest! There’s more layers for each class, ancestries, backgrounds, feats, and more that could translate for builds feeling more unique! Take more work though, but it would be cool!
If the OGL leak that came out earlier today was correct then any 5e Hombrew and Pathfinder (1E and 2E) will be subject to the new OGL 1.1 since it supersedes the existing 1.0 licence (though there will likely be a lengthy legal battle to decide how enforceable that is if it is released in the current state). Seems like the lesson they took from 4e was to cover their asses so no one can compete without starting from square one or giving WotC a ridiculously large portion of their revenue. A lot of what you've said in this video regarding the OGL can be summed up as "we can just use a system with a permissive OGL like Pathfinder or 5E" but at this point that's exactly what WotC is trying to remove as an option. Might be worth reconsidering now that we have more up to date info since if this OGL leak is accurate then that point is moot. This isn't meant to be a gotcha or anything like that, I didn't think the new OGL would be anywhere near as egregious as what was in the leak, but after reading the news it's just really difficult to listen to people defending WotC by saying "you have other options" when they're actively trying to destroy alternatives to One DnD.
You got an audible laugh out of me with the odb joke. Bravo, sir
This is all very exciting, mad hype. Keep it up man
I wanted to say: 1) I really like your spirit and attitude that comes through in this video & I appreciate your work ethic. 2) I am excited about a new One D&D series of Building Character when the 2024 revision is released. 3) I am interested to view your new material. I have always enjoyed your videos (shock: I am not a video gamer so I have not watched the Building Character episodes on video game characters I do not know...but I loved the Super Mario ones!). Thanks and cheers!
Tulok, while Pathfinder isn't as big as DND is it still has a very large following. Have you considered looking into the system and making videos about how to play characters in that?
I will definitely remain, slowly my intrest has become less “oh I know this character I wonder what it is” and “more what jokes and weird combos will Tulock pull out for this stranger!”. I know I’m one view in a ocean of fans, but I for one am excited to see out fav librarian Barbarian grow.
I love several of your newer builds (Elsa, Moon Knight, Mad Max/Ash double feature) but honestly your writing and comedic timing are phenomenal, you could read a technical manual for maintenance and repair of a washing machines and I'm sure it would be entertaining. Thanks for the work you do.
As someone who over the last couple of days has just seen "CRITICAL ROLE CAUSED WOTC TO KILL DND AND PUNISH FANS" and "WHY WOTC ARE KILLING THEIR CASH COW: EXPLAINED 🙉🤑🤮" plastered everywhere, thank you for taking the time to explain what's actually going on and why my homebrew game isn't gonna get me firing-lined . Love you Tulok, you really put in the work
I don't care about One DND/6th Edition, whatever they're calling it. There's plenty for me to do in 5E, and I'm sure the internet can connect me to at least 3-4 like-minded people.
Good on Tulok, for being optimistic and confident enough to experiment.
Building Character is great, and I like your homebrew too.
While the idea of WotC fumbling again and kind of imploding with One Dnd is both funny and exasperating, the fact that we'll be getting more fun homebrew and wholey new ventures is exciting.
If things end up going to F-it route, I do wonder what Pathfinder esque creations might rise from it. Maybe in a year from now, we'll be getting videos from you on using those systems.
Regardless, I do hope you make more things that you want to make and that they're successful. Know it would be a ton of work, but a live play in Moriae has been a dream since the Wire Weaver came out.
I loved the video, I love your energy when your on camera and sense I've been drifting away from building character this has pulled me right back.
Totally agree, I hope this change makes you happy and pulls it more intrest.
Also low key would love a Paladin of bigotry subclass, like the older favourite foe from the ranger but your alignment is evil and your character is just a bad person
"With blackjack and unarmed smites"
Fantastic line.
As a dm who allows smites on any non spell attack, and counts monk unarmed as finesse for sneak attack reasons, I felt that.
Haven't watched the video yet, but I'm very interested to see what this build is going to look like.
I'm sticking with you regardless bud!
This is so far one of the best explanations of the whole OGL situation and will inform how I speak about this to other people.
I’m planning on still playing 5e. If it’s not broke don’t fix it. Also OneD&D seems like minor changes. I don’t wanna buy new books or use the virtual tabletop. So there’s really no point in playing One.
Also the attempts to revoke the old OGL is scummy and I don’t wanna support their new business decisions.
So your backlog content will still be viable for me and people like me :)
Fun Fact about D&D and plagiarism, my local D&D convention (PrinceCon) has only ever banned two people. One was some rando who got banned for being a jerk. The other? Gary Gygax. The story is that he ripped off somebody’s homebrew monster and they got salty about it so they banned the creator of the entire game system.
I do have to push back on the idea of putting the word generous near WotC. Without players, D&D is a lot of expensive and pretty paper. We create the value.
Also looking forward to the new stuff, I always like these style of videos when you make them!
Honestly, Highly recommend Pathfinder 2e.
It's a really good mix of 3.5 and 5e. Instead of selecting a subclass and getting basically your entire kit decided for you, you get 40+ feats to distribute. Sounds like a lot, but imagine if instead of 5e giving you a set linier progression, you got to select skills from any of the subclass options for your class, and mix and match as you went? Or, imagine being able to pick up a more focused set of skills, like archery, or getting really good with two weapon fighting, without sacrificing your main class skills.
It's got the simplified modifiers and skill checks of 5e, with a more expansive character build and what I think is a more explorable combat system with 3 actions per turn. Don't need to move? Want to make another attack instead? Go for it.
Ultimately people will enjoy different things, but I highly recommend anyone that enjoys being able to make personalized builds, or explore a vast character builder of feats and skills, give P2e a try.
Thank you for this most measured and pragmatic take (even with the clickbaity thumbnail). I've been muting folks WHO ARE YELLING FIRE IN THE CROWDED THEATER!!!!
I watched all of it! And then posted! I'm a helper! Love your work.
Also Tulok, there's a lot to recommend with Pathfinder 2E. The Archive of Nethys will let you browse through just about all of it for free.
I genuinely think doing "rebuilds" is probably not a bad idea, especially if OneD&D becomes widely accepted by the player base. And if OneD&D isn't widely accepted by the player base, then I'm sure most of them will still be playing 5E and your videos are safe! Obviously, I have no idea how content creation within the avenue of Dungeons and Dragons works, so my word is worth very little lol
We need to just reject OneD&D altogether. 5E is still a perfectly functional system.
@@Dreigonix Honestly, after further looking into the OGL, whole damn thing needs to be scrapped lol its ridiculous

Well that was honestly very helpful. Thank you i was getting ready to cancel my d&d beyond. Pathfinder is really fun also.
