I'd also like to point out the fact that Saitama can make an enemy waste Legendary resistances just by getting its attention because they need to make a Wisdom save to even attack him
HOLY MACARONI, I FORGOT ABOUT THAT
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Probably because you failed the Wisdom save.
Sounds like the sanctuary spell.
@@graveyardshift2100 correct. It is the sanctuary spell
@@dumbass6088 Which would mean that since the save comes from the fact that you are under the effect of the sanctuary spells, the tarrasque would get advantage from legendary resistance.
His one-punch quivering kill takes two turns because he has to pose as the enemy dies in the background
Id hate to be in your game. Posing takes a turn, come on
@@shmoogersgoml2437 its an intimidation check :)
@@Dastrothy I'd call it either Intimidation or Performance, depending on the situation and intent.
@@arcticbanana66 yeah, I mean TECHNICALLY it takes two turns because of what the ability does not because of some random bs lol
If you've got a bonus action still available, cloak of billowing does the trick.
Consecutive Normal Punches™️ is technically a flurry of blows, so no need to worry about one-shotting multiple smol boys
I was just thinking last night: “I wonder what a Saitama build would look like” and I completely forgot about Way of the Open Hand’s 17th level ability.
Tulok: "Tongue of the sun and moon is also out of place here, whoops."
Hey, you remember that time where Saitama talked to a bunch of aliens with literally zero communication issues other than saying Denominator instead of Dominator?
Others: "Yeah, but Bang, Atomic Samurai, and the Prisoner all did the same thing, didn't they?"
Bang: Could you be any bigger of a Monk?
Samurai: Wears no armor, so Kensei would likely work.
Prisoner: Wears no armor and punches. Monk/Barbarian multiclass.
Out of place? No, I don't think so.
Yeah, and any anime with a dub = tongue of the sun and moon
Tulok explained it during his DIO build.
Your logic is truly unassailable.
If a Tarrasque is as smart as a Mastiff, does that mean it can be tamed like a dog
^Asking the important question here
…
Tarrasque partner for ranger is possible?
Who's a good destroyer of towns? Yes you are!
Only if you can feed it entire cities on a regular basis. Sooo... maybe of you're the villain?
@@AwesomeWookiee Nah, just use goodberry. That'll sustain its hunger.
I feel like one reason people hate on Monk is that it kind of occupies a weird party role that shifts around as you level up. They’re kinda dps, kinda tanks, kinda control, and they get a bunch of miscellaneous stuff that’s really hard to categorize. Makes it a bit hard to place what exactly they should be good at, and how exactly they should be built.
I personally think they’re really fun to play. Monk might be my favorite class.
Bards are in a similar vein though. They're a face but can also be DPS or skill monkey and can heal decently well or buff the party.
People have been hating on monks since they were first introduced because they don't think kung Fu should/would exist in a fantasy setting. Even though martial arts in the real world predate metal armor.
Same with guns, which were invented before platemail in the real world, but that's a whole other argument.
I always pictured Monks as the guy who can get at the main boss easily and hammer at them without much worry
@@agarnes100 I think saying it's PURELY about the kung-fu issue is a bit reductive. Monk across various editions of D&D has been an incredibly unusual and confusing class (Like in 3 and 3.5 they were basically explicitly the worst class in the game). In 5e it somewhat shakes off most of their mechanical issues, but do still struggle a bit with some of those same issues as before that it's kinda all over the place with its abilities.
The saying at my table has always been "Monks are bullshit", because they can *always* pull out some class ability that's really useful for the given situation.
I personaly think monks are a bit underwellming at early level, the felling that fighter with unarmed attacks is better then a monk is kinda true until lvl 14 or so, stunning strike is good, but the monks other features are limmited, and get more restrictive because you have very few ki point. And the damage is just bad until lvl 5, other classes jusr outshine you until later levels. I and all of my player still love monk, but i allways find myself buffing the monk with magic items or giving them extra ki just to keep up.(all of this is my opinion, and sorry for my bad english, its not my first language)
As a Monk main player who made it all the way through Rise of Tiamat, I can say Way of the Open Palm is a great way to challenge a player. Not in combat, but in role playing and letting Other people shine in said combat. Stunning the entire enemy side in one turn so everyone of your friends can go crazy on their turns is more satisfying than killing one guy on your turn
13:42 "..and you can read lips. Not that hard, 'lips' is only a 4 letter word."
That line got me good 🤣🤣
Achieving Saitama's gimmick using a Monk subclass from the Player's Handbook (p.80) feels like the most on brand thing for a One Punch Man build. I always thought this build would have to be an April's Fools Day build or something needlessly complicated, but I underestimated you, just like every villain in OPM. Good job and I look forward to another year of this
Someone did the math here in the comments, and got 56d10+30 damage for Consecutive Serious Punches using Flurry/Action Surge/5 Quivering Palms Full Attack >.> and that's on making all the Saves.... like who is surviving that o.o
Also remember that HP are not strictly meat points - they can be much more abstract than that.
It's easy enough to say that the one time the enemy hits zero health is the one time Saitama actually lands a blow. Just look at all that footage in this very video where he fails to land a hit.
Love how the character who’s whole gimmick is being universe-breakingly powerful in a way that should by all rights destroy any DND campaign is just a regular ass Monk with an arbitrary 3 extra levels and yet it’s the guy who’s power is having robot bits that has to have the super-complex 2 spellcasters and Fighter multiclass
I mean, with what the creator of OPM said about the concept being a anime protagonist at the end of his story being placed at the beginning of his story, he is canonically level 20 at the beginning of the campaign.
The Monk is a really solid base class. It just has some lackluster subclasses (namely the Four Elements Monk). But then it has some REALLY SOLID ones like Way of Mercy and Way of the Open Hand. If you know how to take full advantage of the Monk’s abilities, it’s a great class
My D&D group has a secondary game we play when one of us can’t play. Our DM in the main game plays an Air Genasi Way of Mercy Monk and her Monk kicked SO MUCH ASS our first session of the secondary game. She just kept using Stunning Strike on these giants we were fighting which made it so much easier for my Goliath Ancestral Guardian Barbarian/Rune Knight Fighter multiclass and another player’s Half-Orc Berserker Barbarian to cut them to shreds while our Half-Elf Seeker Warlock blasted them spellcasters piggybacking on the giants
It depends on your group and campaign.
Monk is awful (and I love monk) especially if you’re power building.
But the times when everything clicks....well howdy danger.
My DM monk ran shop against the BBEG and its minions....before he died
I personally think Astral Monk is bonkers
@@kel8923 Oh, no, this isn’t a DM PC. The person playing the Monk in that game is the DM for our main game. They’re only a player in that game. That secondary game is DMed by the person who plays a Fighter in our main game
@@cteal2018I like astral monk a lot, they're one of the best monk subclasses (from like level 11 onwards) with higher ac and damage than other subclasses however they are incredibly resource consuming and suck at low levels although the tashas version does fix a lot of the issues the UA version had.
"Lips is only a Four letter word"
Gonna remember that when I play a barbarian
Sure, you can take out the Tarrasque in two rounds, but how do you handle a single mosquito?
Now wait a minute, let’s not get crazy here.
I see your mosquito and raise you a written exam
You don’t.
nuclear weapons
I know the calligrapher tools thing is probably a joke, but one of my players has taught me that warlocks make it genuinely good by using Xanathar's rules for making spell scrolls to mitigate the spell slot limit. Feels obvious but I've not seen nearly enough people talk about it
This DM thing. Any thing that require DM approval is weak by comparison to any ability that has no say from the DM.
To add on to the Saitama glory! If you want a low level "one punch", take war priest early (or magic initiate if you rolled stats and dont need the ability improvements) and grab Inflict Wounds: 3d10 neurotic melee spell attack. For most 1st tier enemies, that can kill in one hit (especially if the other heroes warmed the big bad up for you, as is anime tradition).
I know it was a typo, but I'm 99% sure "neurotic damage" is a thing IRL. (I take it all the time)
Also, good point. Might as well take War Priest early, if you think you can wait one more level for that sweet, sweet Quivering Palm
Yeah, I think that's the right call- go cleric at 1st for inflict wounds, and take silver barbs to get past legendary resistances in he late game.
I mean, your DM would have to okay silver barbs, but we're building Saitama here, we don't need to worry about playability.
I once played a trickery cleric / shadow monk and this is exactly what I did with that spell
I love how you channel Saitama blazé attitude for his build. He'd be proud if he weren't busy at the grocery store
Vegetables are half off today, yeah?
If someone at your table makes Saitama someone needs to play a divination wizard for portents. After that tarrasque has expended all legendary saves you can set their roll to a number you rolled. You have 3 portent die so teamwomakes the Dream work.
I'd personally suggest Chronurgist, Since the Saitama build only really starts to work at 17th level, but being able to just DECIDE the results of a saving throw in exchange for a level of exhaustion will guarantee success in a way that even portent dice won't.
@@aquamarinerose5405 YES THATS EVEN BETTER!!!
@@elib6465 Granted, you get only 2 chances to reroll an enemy saving throw per day instead of 3 portents that you KNOW the die roll of beforehand, but still, an amiguous number of uses to just decide the outcome is too dang strong.
Any divination wizard fictional characters that would fit the bill?
@@gaidencastro9706 Domino?
Edit: Nevermind, she didn't have any divination wizard levels according to Tulok... what the heck was the build tulok made that had divination wizard?
This is a fun pair. Use them as over the hill npcs. Give em a fun moment with a side threat. Have the party take on the main bosses, and everyone is happy they befriended the baldy and his ro-bro.
I gotta say man, this video has everything. Solid build that I’m 100% going to play, and the banter in this one is too tier
It's easy to forget, especially if you've only watched the anime and not read the manga, that "One Punch Man" is only the name of the series, and that Saitama's superhero name given to him by the Hero Association is "Caped Baldy".
Also. One punch man has a secondary kill strat. We are going to full attack, surge attack, flurry, and apply trip for the advantage.
Likely burn war booster on the first swing to make sure we hit.
And then we burn 15 no points to apply quivering palm 5 times. On a fail, they are going to explode, next turn. So don't forget to use the last point to throw in a stun.
If they succeeded all saving throws, we are adding 50d10 damage to the previous attack string combo.
What is surviving 56d10+30.
"Consecutive serious punches"
Dear Fucking Christ, Yeeeeaaaah that's Saitama alright O_O
That's an average of 338 damage with a min of 265 and a max of 411... God DAYUM
Hate to be that guy, but you probably cant have multiple instances of the same effect simultaneously on a creature. Even if you could you would be spending your action on the next few turns setting them off like organ depth charges.
7:02
I mean do you think Boros, an alien, speaks English? Nah, the reason Saitama understands him is this ability.
Ya know, I never thought about being able to do it in one round via Action Surge. Mildly clever.
Monks are cool, and also, how did people think this was a hard build to make? Quivering palm is like...obvious.
Also, man I hope Tulok still enjoys making these.
I'm also hoping tulok is still enjoying it, he seems a little saltier in the recent videos.
@@grantbaugh2773 Salty's not the word I would use. Just...frustrated, which makes sense. Dealing with a bunch of pedantic nerds all day can't be fulfilling.
finally the saitama build I requested, no unrelated arson is required anymore
Rippy dippy doo doo.
Never change, Tulok, you are fabulous
Remember kids, you're not roleplaying a Genos type character unless you lose at least one limb per fight as a running gag. Also, the Saitama build can possibly be spun off into a build for Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star because Open Palm Monk is just Kenshiro.
Kenshiro even takes an extra turn to tell the enemy they’re already dead while he activates Quivering Palm
Genos and True Strike: I'd argue that it works fairly well with Booming Blade in those situations where you can run away, take a round to study a target, and then dash at them with your own miniature one-punch
I was so sure Saitama would just be a Bard or Sorcerer w/a small fighter dip and 9th level spell would be Invincible, so I was wrong, oh well, also I assumed Evocation instead of War Magic for Genos. Love the builds you did instead
Get yourself a pair of gloves of soul catching and a belt of storm giant strength for a really unfair saitama
The whole joke of the show is Saitama already starts at level 20 at the beginning of his campaign
his backstory is he fought a crab at level one and still killed it in one hit
Honestly I'd have just gone with 20 monk for Saitama. Timeless Body seems super appropriate. Plus, you can just attempt Stuns to burn Legendary Resistances. When you burn three, then the Punch. I can picture fights with that character being Saitama tapping them to be annoying before using the Slightly Harder Punch.
Nah, you need action surge to get that genuine one turn one-punch.
I would have taken an 18 lvl of monk tho instead of a cleric lvl. I don't even remember what monks get at that level, but it would be one more ki point, putting you at 18, allowing for a sixth "one-punch"
Edit: I just checked, and 18 lvl grants invis and dmg res for a minute for 4 ki points. That's pretty in character, since Saitama is generally unaffected by most dmg types, and in the practice fight with Genos, he moves so fast he's practically invisible
It also would cap unarmored movement, making Saitama even faster
Also, 4 uses of Quivering Palm if you use it exclusively for that.
"and you can read lips. Not that hard, lips is a 4 letter word." Amazing. The dad puns are strong with this one. Love your work, don't let the trolls get you down.
This love letter to monks for this first half is just making me rethink my monk builds so I thank you with all my heart Tulok
After watching the rest of it, I was impressed with how savage the onslaught remained to be.
An Engaging recitation throughout.
I've been looking forward Caped Baldy the most. Haven't watched yet, but my idea was he started at lvl 20 when everyone else was lvl 1. And while they leveled up, he couldn't get more abilities, because he was level capped, but kept getting more health and damage.
Accurate description, having seen season 1
I thought you'd use the extra levels for two levels of Divination Wizard since it could give Saitama Portent, which makes him decide the results of a die two times per day. Unfortunately that means not using Wis as your Spellcasting mod and having to put at least 13 in intelligence but it secures that 1 Punch kill pretty well.
Making a character more powerful than Saitama is easy
Calligraphy tools proficiency
Artificer 6 to get Expertise with Calligrapher’s tools
Done
Lol so true :D
I can beat that.
Calligraphy tools proficiency
Fighter - Rune Knight 3 (Fire Rune) to get expertise in Calligraphy tools.
Done
@@thunderknight24 I mean it's the same thing, tho I guess you got it 3 lvls faster, so there's that
Another incredible Tulok video! Thanks man, you're an awesome creator with such positive vibes, hope you have a great day!
Positive vibes? He taunts, belittles and demeans people who criticize anything he does in damn near every video he makes
@@phantafalconpunch But in a very positive way!
(Though, really, most of the taunts aren't directed at real comment responses, especially since a lot of them are directed at things people couldn't know before the video. Just making it up or guessing at some counters to the build path he chose to go with. Bit of fun sarcasm. Do you also hate on your DM when one of their villains insults the party?)
@@Shalakor no I don't, but when he does specifically talk about specific comments that are on his previous videos, which he has done (he hasn't named anyone but if you read the comments you can clearly see who he's talking about) that's not positive vibes...at all. Especially when he brings up genuine questions and concerns and does a tongue-and-cheek parody of it. For example, in his video after he did Groot he decided to belittle the people saying that Groot should have been Warforged instead of a Goliath, saying that "just because he's made of wood doesn't mean he should be a Warforged" even though he's done almost the exact same thing in past videos, like making Garrus a lizardfolk because their both scaley
Loving the monk love here. Love it
now we need Mob Psycho builds
Hey Tulok, I just wanted to say I really appreciate your videos, I know you get a lot of stupid criticism for "WhY diDnT uSe ThIs???" But for real thank you you always go above and beyond for these videos
The Saitama build is similar to the way I built Kenshiro from FOTNS. Great video
Artificer is currently my favorite class. They have a bad rap due to their damage output but they can do just about anything.
Arties are broken AF
Artificer also can gain the strongest combo in the entire game at level 2, though you do need a single ally to do this. An artificer at level 2 can make two bags of holding, he can also learn find familiar. You get an ally who has find familiar as well, make the familiar both hawks (or some other bird that can carry a bag), have them ready their actions in combat and have them both fly near whatever you are fighting. When they get close enough, one bird flies into the other birds bag of holding while holding a bag of holding sucking all enemies within 10ft into the Astral plane. Instant win.
I’m continuing to comment to show my support, but for real tho. 10/10 build and commentary.
I'm totally okay with saitama being a monk, but I'm just going to point out that he only has 125 hit points at the end of the build.
I suppose it would be difficult to put the tough feat in there somewhere
Treantmonk's Tavern eat your heart out, which much love and respect, of course. I ain't about that negativity.
Nice job, Tulok. I hope your 2022 is the best year ever.
Is a monk fan myself I do think half the monk subclass need a buff (the monk in general could use more ki points por level )
Treantmonk did a fix where he laid out the math and brought the power level up to a comparable to the other martials.
Or maybe a new way of using their abilities? Hmmm. Wonder how it'd work out if all the Ki features like Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind were one minute duration effects? Would still be limited by bonus action economy, but you'd only need to spend 1 Ki point per combat on the ones you use in most cases. Also makes them more practical in non-combat encounters where bursts of physical prowess would come in handy. Would fit the fantasy of the class a bit better maybe?
Easily my most favorite video he’s done so far
I’m so happy to see someone talk about awesomely busted monk is. 100% my favourite class.
How are they busted exactly?
5e Monks are not bad, they're just stupid frustrating to build for beyond "I roll to Punch" Monk. You had to go Point-Buy to get good stats in STR, DEX, CON, and WIS, still had to dump both INT and CHA, and zero ASIs were invested in feats. When the only feat you can invest in is competing with maxing out your DEX or WIS, that means all customization outside of race or subclass comes directly at the cost of being a good Monk.
I loved this video, didn't love the 3 minute unskipable ad that I didn't know existed
Sure this will be lost in the sea of comments, but I want you to know that I love all of your content, including your personality that you share with us. Haters bad, Tulok good.
That read lips joke made me legitimately chuckle. Well done.
Thanks 4 the hard work
I don't know why the "you can read lips. It's not hard, it's a four letter word" killed me
Amazing video
Monk bad. *proceeds to one shot a terrasque and break the sound barrier*
I really love these videos, and I love how much you defend monks. They honestly are better than people give them credit for. Great work Tulok!
They're just highly unbalanced. If you don't know what you're doing or pick the wrong subclass it's increasingly easy for a player to have a horrible time playing their character. The class can be great, but it's really hard for newer players to know what they're getting themselves into choosing it, and then a bunch of them have a bad experience, adding to the negative view of Monks.
@@Shalakor yeah, fair enough. Tho the subclasses aren't as bad as ppl say. Kensei gives you free +3 weapons and better AC than most monks and a few ranged options (rare for monks). Four Elements I've seen in action and it can be terrifying
@@ediivg9428 While this is kind of a Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide problem in general, playing Way of Long Death can easily just make the player bitter every time a teammate gets a kill, which is pretty likely at level 3 in particular, since that's right where the Monk's attacks are most likely to not be doing the job of getting kills (played with someone that had this misfortune). And, if there's absolutely anyone else in the party that can grant Temp HP, feels completely like a dead subclass. And at level 6 you have to give up attacking at all that turn to do a fear effect that can friendly fire, making it pretty much just an advanced True Strike, so another potentially dead level. And then Sun Soul can have similar problems given the feature counts as spell attacks, thus going against flavor of monk abilities not being effected by antimagic, and are very limited range (although, bonus action Burning Hands is a pretty fair cost at 2 ki, better that 2 ki for a normal action casting like four elements math).
Four Elements is bad, but it's flexible enough to be salvaged by an experienced or smart player.
Even the really good ones, can be hard to manage just because of how specific the use cases can get with their features. ...Kensai is pretty straight forward and easy to use, though, and most people agree to that assessment.
You’ve been on fire with these scripts lately.
I have a few ideas for duos.
one is the "immortal" duo of the Akatsuki from Naruto. Kakuzu and Hidan
two is a duo of a Secret Father and his Unaware Son. Yes I'm talking about The Scout and The Spy from Tf2
I really hope you were kidding when you said you used to do this for fun. I absolutely love this channel and your builds. I don't see myself playing all of them, but I am still always curious about your insights and thought process.
Tulok really lost his mind with this one lmao. 10/10 video.
Bane and Action Surge were a good touch, good job on the build.
as a 20th level character, he probably already has a Dragonhide Belt, a Belt of Giant 29 Strength, and a Cloak of Resistance or Insignia of Claws
This build packs quite a punch
I love how you did saitama.
I would have made two change with Genos though. I would have dropped a level in artificer for another in wizard, and changed to bladesinger instead of war mage. Being able to cantrip as part of your attack can let you combine a booming blade of green flame blade with your combos.
Man monks are strong, I want to play every class at high level after watching your videos
Aaaaay, my favorite class gets some love!
“You can read lips. Not hard, lips is only a four letter word.” Damn dude, you broke me on that one!
My only gripe with this is not with Monk itself (cuz I love the monk class) but that he has martial arts when there's a whole sub plot based around him having no idea about martial arts. No clue how else to get the one hit KO like that though so whatevs. They're both fantastic builds though and I def wanna try them out.
Loving the Monk love. Best class ever
You did it. Somehow, you made OPM in D&D.
You rock.
Thanks for the rules clarification
Yes. Monk is very good on its own. Just that most subclasses I want to play don't really come online until way later. And most of the time I'm playing a Monk, it doesnt feel like I deal dmg, more like politely suggest it. And most builds I make use magic items and such to make it better.
Hmmmmmm...maybe you can use the feat from tashas that gives yu the unarmed fighting style of d6 to d8 early and/or the magic initiate feat for hex to do extra d6 per attack?
Then you are doing the equivalent of a greatsword or more for each of your attacks by 4th lvl if yu take variant human or custom lineage.
If you like elves or half-elfs yu can get the feat elven accuracy for crit fishing when you get advtg on attacks.
Just in combat move to flanking position w/ a team mate to get advtg if your dm allows or if not, something else the monk gets like the choice of knocking them prone, or shadow monk.
If you wind up multiclassing to gloomstalker ranger for 3lvs, you get advtg on all your attacks in all darkness, extra initiate bonus based on yur wisdom, an extra attack at the start of each fight, and an extra d8 of damg on that attack.
Way of the long death monk and mercy monk have some nice options too.
Saitama’s problem isn’t so much that he can kill anything with one punch… it’s that he’s literally invincible
Patient defence, BABY!
Monk straight up gets the most class features in the entire game, and end up with options for just about every situation. I guess their biggest weakness is that they typically lack magic itself or alternate damage types, with one or two notable exceptions. But still, they are so good you guys.
"you can read lips, it's not that hard it's a 4 letter word." You broke me with that
The level of salt and sass is amazing. Still great builds as always.
it was a great video all in all but i found one mistake in this build, the superior fighting style only gives only one maneuver not two maneuvers, aside from that great video as always, i do hope you make a King build video in the future :D
Genos has to roll a nat 1 for all his hit die, for this to be accurate.
Finally, someone who appreciates monks as much as I do
Fun fact warforged can still benefit from the +1 AC without wearing armor. The description of integrated defense says as follows "Your body has built-in defensive layers, which can be enhanced with armor", and the AC portion says nothing of wearing armor being a requirement. This means rules as written you can get the +1 AC without wearing armor.
I honestly never thought monk was a bad class, its so strong, and every thing you said about it was right, but the problem i have with it, is the fact that its subclasses are, well, subpar, compared to other classes
A thing to point out for Ki empowered strikes only counts for overcoming resistances and immunities.
Bravo!
I did this for a one shot but I went went 3 lvls into Fighter with the first feat being magic initiate for hex. I found that the sanctuary buff from monk pretty much acted as his impervious to damage flavoring along with the dodge action so that my DM had to burn through his LA to even try to hit me. After that I applied hex(disadvantage on con)- hit- quivering palm- action surge- dead. So that was fun for me and not so fun for the DM 😅
Hex applies to abilities checks, not saves
17:38 I've actually got an easy guide for that.
Robots are entirely mechanical creations built to do stuff.
Cyborgs were at some point organic life, even if the only thing that remains is their human soul
Androids are robots that are specifically built to look like a people.
So for example, a Warforged is an android, a spider tank is a robot, and Genos is a cyborg.
okay, so. I was thinking about Genos myself the other day. the very simple and probably more powerful build would be some sort of artificer fighter hybrid, probably this vid. eldrich cannon for his blasters, fireball for his kabooms, it makes sense. However a build I would love is 4 elements monk. probably with 2 levels of fighter for you know what. The ki would work quite well for a "charge" system, think of them as battery life. genos is fast, monk. he punch fast, monk. and he shoots blaster cannons, plasma beams, and big ol explosions. most of which can be done with 4 elements. up to 60 feet of movement, action surge and dash, for 180 movement isn't anything to joke about. may not be the fastest dnd char ever but he do be booking it by normal standards. or you could throw out 6 attacks instead (with a ki point you average 4 no action surge) and if you wanna just burn your ki you can do fangs of the fire snake on every attack for 8d10- 12d10 damage which.... honestly isn't that great.... and it'd cost half your ki points.... monk doesn't really do well in the damage department. I guess sun soul has more fitting abilities as well. regardless. Fun concept! can't wait to watch the vid.
The brutality of @Tulok's Flurry of Blows against his haters combined with the whole thing recited in an Apathetic Saitama Attitude!
As a DM, no class has caused me more frustration than monk. Those mofo's are fine in almost any situation and make every save ever, except for Strength saving throws, their only weakness!
Monks are dope, yo.
Tbf you can thematically be Saitama just choosing any class that can punch really well and starting a campaign who's meant for the characters start at level 1 with your character at level 20, were you can one shot anything. The creator of the series said that the idea of the anime is having a main character who has all the power he would normally obtain in the last episode of the series since the beginning, so that fit the theme (and if you face something that don't die in one punch, call it ''Consecutive Normal Punches''). ^o^
*mind explodes*
Thanks.
At long last... The Caped Baldy arrives to save our world.
Great video, though it is not possible for the Genos Build to put a Scorching Ray on the Spell Storing Item as only Artificer Spells can be put in it, and since Artificers don't get Scorching Ray unless they take the Artillerist Subclass, it does not work here
17:54
“And your passive perception is 23 at this point”
Davvy has a character that has this level of perception at level 4. Poor Jo just gave up on any perception checks when the Banana Man was involved.
Moral of the story: Passive perception is great. Makes DMs around the world cry because you notice everything.
What's his build?
Yuan-ti something with observant feat right?
@@marmato9332 yuan-ti pureblood, observant feat, and dumped his skill expertise as a bard (College of Glamour I believe) into perception as well? I don’t know for certain, just that as of now, is passive perception is something outrageous, like a 29 or something.

Played a druid with observant and 20 wisdom and even without expertise it was funny basically having spider sense.
He died in one session tho.
