    Let's not forget as ENvy said as he began regretting that decision, "Oh crap, that's right! This is the guy who killed Lust!" He somehow *FORGOT* that he was talking to at that point the only human to successfully kill a homunculus.

    This build really captures how horrifying it is to fight Envy. He just won’t die. It’s why the homunculi are so terrifying.

    Bards can also rely on non-musical performances like acrobatic and/or tumbling performances. Envy likes to jump around, seems like a good fit.

    Honestly, Bard is a great choice for a spy-type character, especially if you want to go the spellcaster-y route. Bards are skill monkeys, have a spell list loaded with enchantment and illusion spells, and Mantle of Whispers is perfect for this kind of character. Heck, in Faerun there's an entire organization of spies called the Harpers who are largely bards.

    I know I'm late and my comment probably isn't very relevant, because the builds don't take magic items into account, but... there is a way to play Envy as a changeling. There are two magic items that would allow him to transform his clothes with him: glamoured studded leather (+1 studded leather that can look like any kind of clothes, one of my favorite magic items in the game) and shiftweave (a common magic item from Eberron which is 5 sets of clothes in one, a specialty of changeling craftsmen).

    Was considering using this monstrous shapeshifter archetype, but using beast barbarian instead of fighter to give them natural weapons they can whip out. You wouldn't be able to concentrate/cast all those bard spells, but many are buffs and you can still use psychic whispers. A back up when you roll poorly and somehow go through *all* of your polymorphs

    I ran a 2e game a long time ago, using my own version of the Homunculi from FMA. None of my players watched anime, so I felt no pity. This would have been so much more difficult for the party to handle. I might have to revamp it with this and the other builds as BBEG's.

      Technically, rules as written, you can't do both of those on the same turn in 5e. If you cast a leveled spell as a bonus action, you can only cast cantrips as an action for the rest of that turn. I suppose if you did some wacky multiclassing to get action surge as well, then you could do this by using a different healing spell and then action surging to cast polymorph. Its kind of a weird hidden rule in the spell casting rules, but worth noting if your trying to play by the rules.

      @@ancientbrassdragon2679 I did some digging, this is apparently a misinterpretation. Polymorph does not affect "shapechangers" which is apparently a specific tag for certain monsters. It does not apply to player races like Changelings. Furthermore, some sources have reworded Polymorph to say that "Shapechangers automatically succeed the saving throw," and since the saving throw only applies to unwilling creatures you can cast it on yourself regardless of the shapechanger tag.

    Adding to the algorithm, I actually think Custom Lineage for Mask of Many Faces isn't that much better than the Changling's ability, namely because, with Disguise Self, there's a chance someone will make a sufficient Investigation check to see through the illusion, and Disguise Self doesn't alter your voice. Plus, proficiency with a Disguise Kit could compensate for the Changling not being able to change clothes via the transformation. But at least with the Changling, the transformation stands up to scrutiny and you can mimic the voice without needing the Actor feat (which also has a chance to fail an inspection).

      @ancientbrassdragon2679 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Changelings can't be polymorphed, since they have the shapechanger trait and the spell polymorph says "this spell has no effect on a shapechanger." This build kinda falls apart without the self-polymorphing into giant monsters, which is Envy's whole deal.

      @@ancientbrassdragon2679 that would be true if that element of Envy was a hallmark of the character. But that monstrous form only shows up like 2-3 times in Envy's entire screen time in either the manga or anime. Too much weight was put on this one aspect versus the main thing being Envy as a shapechanging infiltrator.
      Is Polymorph fun? Absolutely, but with conventional wisdom holding that most games don't go beyond 10-12 levels, building an entire around one spell is kind of...not fun when you want to realize a fantasy early

    I wish the bard class was more malleable in what you choose to perform with. It shouldn't be JUST musical instruments. What about a megaphone/microphone type thing for vocals? What about stage makeup to be an actor? They are both optional forms of artistic performance. I'd allow them I. My games. I love reflavoring things to make them neat and unique. But RAW it must be a lute or flute or whatever to play a song or something. Like I said. Good thing I would allow it in my games. But sad that I'd probably never be able to do so if I was just a player for another DM

    one don’t need to look like a monster to be one, a true monster can have as many as you please. I find more joy in the good and selfless characters (like Tangle the lemur for example, Sir Tulok, please?) but when a monster of many faces (in many ways of the word) is another option, I can see how some can be tempted to abandon empathy to humanity and awe on the ruin of the many.
    Envy the Jealous is a creature with a ruthless, and sinister persona who holds hidden a childish mentality that surface to taunt the ones he afflict misery, being created with the purpose of inducing distrust and bloodshed he is resentful of anyone that suggest he is ugly or that confront its inner insecurities of pride, a sign of the dark deep in his psychic that didn’t ever reached fulfillment; keep your inner demons and that schadenfreude attitude in check, the people that you try to kill might put aside their differences to destroy you, but as a member of a party you do understand the concept of friendship, don’t you?

    Gotta admit, I hate Magic Jar. Why? Aside from permanent body swap arguments that have heavy RAW problems, every other possible function has an alternative in 5e, with only one possible niche. Specifically, it lets you infiltrate a location where somehow mind control is rendered impossible but possession is not blocked (not even Hallow allows that, you'd need IDK magic item of Mind Blank Field and locals can't Hallow even via Wish), locals are beyond humanoid disguise magic or Polymorph and True Polymorph & Shapechange are unavailable and/or locals have True Seeing, and a mundane disguise is not feasible. Yeah, that's a lot to arrange... Anyhoot if you're curious what the RAW problems with body swap are, read more:
    Firstly, if you cast it twice yourself and the DM agrees to read it as you are returned by the second spell to the first of two bodies you possessed... congratulations, you are now beyond RAW and probably cohabitating with another soul if not subject to a deity stepping in to restore balance by removing you from existence (at best, DM homebrews something, like you're now a weird Kalashtar or your two souls can conflict for control ala sentient magic item possession or the like). Even if you can think of a workaround for that like a means of getting the target to cast it twice for you to vacate their body for you so you're not the one caught up in the glitch... there is a very clear rule that nobody can be affected by multiple instances of the same named effect at the same time (this is why you can't double-up on Bless or Haste), and even if one has to focus on the _soul_ being affected by the same spell twice, that's still happening. There is even a Sage Advice that at least acknowledges that two entities cannot possess the same target via simultaneous Magic Jar effects. So yeah, this spell, by itself, cannot reliably and safely transfer your soul to another body, even with multicasting, unless the DM is extremely lenient and going beyond RAW, yet alone RAI (as I highly doubt any creators intended for permanent body hopping and am frankly astounded they haven't already quashed this).

    So...weird thought: The Homonculi from FMA vs. The Seven Deadly Sins from their own anime. Who else wants to see that besides me?

      The Homunculi would Homuncu-DIE, just slightly slower than the average bad guy in the show. Those peeps are way OP; the mangaka basically took the max power level from his previous manga, Kongou Banchou, and set that as the floor for Nanatsu no Taizai.

      Yeah but changelings can't be affected by polymorph so it'd just be envy turning into other people not his monster form.

      Changeling can't change their clothes with their shape-shifting ability, but Disguise Self does. This is more mechanically appropriate to Envy.

      Changelings have the shapechange ability. Polymorph the spell says “this spell has no effect on a shapechanger”- basic rules 266

    • @ancientbrassdragon2679

      The ability in changeling is called “shapechanger.” I don’t have MPMM in front of me right now to cite the exact page number, but I did look that up to re-verify. Therefore, changelings are immune to all versions of polymorph (edited for clarity).
