"Deku has more powers in the manga!" Good news folks! Magical secrets lets you pull spells from ANY LIST! So grab literally any spell of 8th level or lower if he gets more powers. Make "Greater Restoration" one of your bard spells, just replace Warding Winds or something. Done.
Fun Fact: Jack of All Trades adds to ability checks, not just skill checks. So Initiative bonus (pure dexterity check), raw strength checks not associated with Athletics, and of course all other ability checks (You get it). It's SO good...
He knows, and it being a thing for a lot of his builds is why he's used it many times. The snark was because he's trolling people who take things too seriously, and bash him for using it even if just for flavor.
@@failfort7822 Attacking twice is better in most cases But I also wouldn't fault someone for using it for a high level spell they wouldn't be getting more than one cast off for, for lack of high level spell slots
It also helps him have +2 in most abilities, I think it is Point Buy viable Point Buy gives you 27 points, you start with 8 in all stats; adding 2 to all of them takes 12 points so you then have 15 left which means you can put 3 points into 5 stats so yeah, it's technically still legal
(First round of combat) Me: “for my action I cast Shatter...” My party: “please not again please don’t do this we’re begging you to stop just-“ Me: “ *c e n t e r e d o n m y a r m b o n e s* “
@@itwasidio1736 I wonder if you can turn your finger bones into a kind of scroll, that casts a stored spell when they break. Would need a very drunk dm to pull off.
@@DamnDaimen Just cast Glyph of Warding on your fingers, and pick Thunder. It's a bard spell, and it legally works. 20 foot range is enough, and it accurately deals damage to the caster.
I’d argue that Truestrike fits this build perfectly. One of Deku’s key weaknesses during the early parts of the story is his tendency to overthink and over complicate fights. Given that he has to mentally switch his powers on, it makes sense for him to use the spell and then outgrow it when his stats are better.
The snark was for the fact that the spell..... Kinda fucking sucks, using both concentration and an action to give you advantage on your next attack, meaning you get to roll twice and take the highest...... Where as you could have just used both turns to attack, and, if you happen to only hit once, you accomplish the same.
@@marmato9332 Multiclass for flavor, not to be OP, that’s my philosophy. Not saying being strong is bad, but MinMax is one of my less liked parts of D&D
@@emailmcgmail4485 I just don't see a reason to be anything more than a Monk, though. You can reflavor your Monk abilities by saying you're activating your Quirk. Hell, I'd do it as that new Dragon Monk and just say it's punching so hard you're igniting the air in a cone. I do not see the point in multiclassing
Day 2. Prediction. Warlock/Fighter hybrid. Warlock cause his patron is One for All and All Might. Eldritch finger blasts and mobility. Can’t watch now but back soon Edit: I watched it. Boy was I wrong, but I still like this build idea a lot. Thanks to those encouraging comments below.
Superheroes are probably the hardest thing to replicate in DnD, even in older editions! Their abilities tend to be either so broad that it is hard to cover in one class (Superman) or so specific that you need to reflavor things and get a lot of weird abilities that don't fit (Spider Man). Of all your super builds though, the My Hero ones are so far the smoothest beyond the ones that are open ended to begin with. (Raven and Dr Strange are straight forward because their powers are literally just "magic")
I always thought of Charisma as Deku’s dump stat but bard actually works pretty well for get all the abilities. I made my own build after watching this using the new Astral Self Monk (reflavouring the astral form as full cowling) with a little bit of Wild Magic Barbarian to get some more durability, strength and other random quirks he gains later. The only thing I would change about this build is replacing College of Valor with College of Swords because you can boost your own damage (plus some small buffs) for some extra oomph and it surprisingly doesn’t specify that you need to use a weapon.
I actually really like the concept behind this build. You're an absolute MONSTER offensively....for about two or three turns.Then you have to get clever and think tactically. Fun stuff. I know nothing about MHA, but this looks like a fun build.
surprisingly good build. I'd personally tag out the capstone level for a 4th level of monk though, drop slow fall for basically any other spell because of slow fall, then take either crusher for the forced movement and the advantage on follow up attacks after a crit, or skill expert to reaaally push that 'anime boys are good at everything' angle just a bit further. Either way taking a +1 to con to push that up to 12 for a slightly better concentration save and 20 more hit points. ...that being said being said, i've DMed a game with a pallidin having foresight cast on them and the amount of horseshit a foresighted and hasted pally can get up to i can see why that would be a priority
I’ve been watching this show for months, but True Strike initiates a primal rage knowing that it exists. I can’t wrap my head around how such a spell exists. Great video, but I’m forever scarred looking through the cantrip of 5e
Pretty good build overall, Tulok. I think a good feat for this Deku build to pick up early on, maybe even at 4th level, would be Fighting Initiate from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. It lets you learn a fighting style if you have proficiency in a martial weapon, and the Unarmed Fighting style (also from Tasha's) will give Deku 1d6 or 1d8 + strength modifier damage with his fists.
Deku is known for his reckless attacks, while All Might has the more defined division between on/off mode. A version of this where you could only cast the other spells while under Tenser's Transformation would be an interesting way to make it fit for All Might.
Start of the video: Bard?? Really?? I don't see that... A few minutes later: Okay, Tulok, you're a real genius. The only things I would change: getting Haste as one of the Magical Secrets and picking the monk levels earlier cause it was a long way before he started punching.
On the specific topic of True Strike, I STILL wish that it was either a bonus action, or gave a numerical bonus. I still remember when true strike gave you a +20 to your next attack roll as a first level spell, and Quickened Spell was a feat that everyone could take, so you could technically quicken a true strike on a wizard or duskblade and get a +20 to an attack with say... Disintegrate.
If you want to do a more armor type, you could consider the costume as armored since he started getting the braces and stuff. Instead of Monk perhaps use the Fighter with the Unarmed Fighting Style, get a d6 for damage and you'd get Action Surge which wouldn't be as versatile as the Monk's Ki Points but could still be fun and the Bardic abilities still cover a lot of issues. Love the work Tulok, looking forward to what else is coming from you
This build really changed how I saw bards. Always the stereotypical horn dog singer. But yeah you can just....talk to people to give them inspiration and who said the spells have to be through your flute. Thanks Tulok
Being stuck inside means your work is even more important! To me at least. Love your builds and jokes and am looking forward to more of them every day this month
Honestly my favorite part of Midoriya as a Bard is the fact that in the fantasy AU in some of the credits sequences, he's lightly armored and wielding a longsword-- Which Bards have proficiency with! Meaning that he could totally be a pure super-determined Bard trying his best to save his friends with smarts as well as powers when placed into a fantasy world.
I’ve come up with my own version of this. I won’t tell all the details cuz it’s too long but I take bard level 1/2 and then Fighter lvl 1 because you can take unarmed fighter and do 1d6+strength from unarmed strikes and it’s bumped to a d8 if you don’t have a weapon or shield.
When you said you were taking December off I nearly cried. When I saw a video yesterday I was happy. When I saw one today I was confused. one every day in December?! I'm crying again, but for the opposite reason.
About the only change I’d really make on this build is swapping knock for enhance ability. Especially for the temp hp as it’s very common for him to be experiencing an adrenaline rush and just not notice the pain. Good work all around. Didn’t imagine the build could be done with a regular human.
I'm gonna watch all the videos this month even if I've never seen the media where the character is from, simply so you get those sweet clicks and ad bonus
Originally, I thought Deku was going to be an Evocation Wizard with monk levels. The 14 level ability fits well with you literally taking damage to do max damage on spells. I realized that Deku doesn’t use spells that aren’t buffs so it wouldn’t work unfortunately. Keep it up Tulok, I love all the builds you have been doing
I mean... the 2nd poll aniversary ilustration from the manga is Fantasy-inspired, and so is the ending from season 2 in the anime. Deku is depicted with no armor and a short-sword. Using weapons is 100% justificable by official sources. :) This build was really fun to see. Thanks!!!
One of the teachers had tusks so like, I'm pretty sure you can be a half-orc in My Hero Academia Pros: extra strength to handle your new quirk better, relentless endurance is still the most anime ability ever, better crits, darkvision, and intimidation because if a teenager broke their finger and sent you flying 50ft you'd be scared, don't lie. Plus, half-orcs are hot Cons: so many odd numbers holy shit Verdict: Playing a half-orc Deku is as plus ultra as it gets I'd say, do it
Personally would take the monk levels first so str could be dropped (in favor of +3 wisdom, Deku is very observant) and for martial arts and 18 unarmored ac. Sure the extra attack comes super late this way but it's a little offset through monks bonus action unarmored strike.
Thank you for this awesome month long blitz! I love the vids, the builds get turned into villains/recurring npcs in my games a lot of the time. So thank you! Also, the True Strike bit is absolutely hilarious.
How to make any MHA character: Bard (customizable as frick plus everyone gets a cool moment) + Sorcerer or Monk (most of them fight either being long or short ranged)
Except Tail Boy, who is just Simic Hybrid (ask your DM to reflavor Nimble Climber as a tail, and switch it to Grappling Appendages at 5th level) that is a full Monk. Gi and everything. Also, Momo seems like a transmutation wizard to me, especially given how her quirk requires her to understand what she's making. That actually works twice as well, since she had to consult a book to make things, just like a wizard. Anivoice boy is just a druid, I think (probably circle of the Shepherd), and Sugar Rush is a classic Barbarian (Berserker, maybe?).
Simic Hybrid would be good for a lot of the mutation quirks, but personally I see Momo as a Creation Bard, if she had more power, she'd use it to beat the shit out the people who want "fanservice" from a minor.
Wow Tulok I never knew you lived in Minnesota. I’ve never really had money to give you but if you live in the twin cities I can give you free burgers, fries, or milkshakes from my job.
Five guys on Hennepin in uptown Minneapolis, I don’t work today or tomorrow, but this weekend if you wanted to come after 5 (when my general manager is gone) I can hook you up as long as we’re not insanely busy or about to close, if you want to come another time dm me or reply to this comment.
So I know the point of this video was to NOT use Variant human...buuut if you did you could take the Fighting Initiate feat to get access to unarmed fighting at level 1 and deal 1d8+Str mod for unarmed attacks. So you're dealing level 11 monk damage without being a level 11 monk.
My boi, Deku. Would love a Kirishima build someday -- wait, thirty-one videos this month. Wow. Feels dirty asking for more right now. Love the video, love the build; Tulok, you're awesome.
He is being thematic there. Midoryia dont really punch things that often, he mostly break his limbs doing those explosive things that Tulok chose to represent via spells like Thunderwave and Shatter
@@luisgusta not really. Midoriya is a close combat specialist and once he develops full clowling, the bone breaking isnt much of a thing anymore unless things get suuuuper serious
Honestly True Strike has its niche if for whatever reason you can't nail your target down this turn or are setting up a combo where the advantage outweighs the two chances to hit.
QOAH! you really blew up man. I just got this in my sub box and went "hey, havent seen one of these in awhile!" Didnt know you grew from 20kish to 120k. Good on you man. Keep it up
i’ve tried to build him before, he would probably get a lot of enchantment/abjuration spells. he could even do the classic “i cannot hurt kishibe rohan” with the sanctuary spell
This month is probably gonna be hard on you so here’s some encouragement. I look forward to your videos every week. You’re one of my favorite TH-camrs. You’re funny. Keep up the good work!

"Gureta Daze!"

Pretty good build overall, Tulok.
I think a good feat for this Deku build to pick up early on, maybe even at 4th level, would be Fighting Initiate from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. It lets you learn a fighting style if you have proficiency in a martial weapon, and the Unarmed Fighting style (also from Tasha's) will give Deku 1d6 or 1d8 + strength modifier damage with his fists.
Love the fact you used basic human! :D always loved the standard human with 13s in all stats!
Just starting video:
Isn’t this the first time we’ve ever had a Point Buy build for the stats!?
No, that would be Rocket Raccoon.
There is one every few months, but they are rare. First time he's done 13s across the board though.
He’s made a few recently
The Lady Maria build recently used Point Buy.
Biggest 180 going from no videos for a month to one per day. A surprise to be sure but a welcome one.
Before video: Maybe a more dex concentrated version of All-Might?

Personally would take the monk levels first so str could be dropped (in favor of +3 wisdom, Deku is very observant) and for martial arts and 18 unarmored ac. Sure the extra attack comes super late this way but it's a little offset through monks bonus action unarmored strike.
I don't even watch MHA, but your builds make me want to!
You honestly deserve more subs. You constantly put out great content and always leave me smiling by the end.
That transition to the Skillshare sponsor is fantastic
Thank you for this awesome month long blitz! I love the vids, the builds get turned into villains/recurring npcs in my games a lot of the time. So thank you! Also, the True Strike bit is absolutely hilarious.
How to make any MHA character:
Bard (customizable as frick plus everyone gets a cool moment) + Sorcerer or Monk (most of them fight either being long or short ranged)
Except Tail Boy, who is just Simic Hybrid (ask your DM to reflavor Nimble Climber as a tail, and switch it to Grappling Appendages at 5th level) that is a full Monk. Gi and everything. Also, Momo seems like a transmutation wizard to me, especially given how her quirk requires her to understand what she's making. That actually works twice as well, since she had to consult a book to make things, just like a wizard. Anivoice boy is just a druid, I think (probably circle of the Shepherd), and Sugar Rush is a classic Barbarian (Berserker, maybe?).
Simic Hybrid would be good for a lot of the mutation quirks, but personally I see Momo as a Creation Bard, if she had more power, she'd use it to beat the shit out the people who want "fanservice" from a minor.
I like this build. I might even play it (though I’d swap the monk levels with fighter)
Wow Tulok I never knew you lived in Minnesota. I’ve never really had money to give you but if you live in the twin cities I can give you free burgers, fries, or milkshakes from my job.
I like burgers where you at?
Five guys on Hennepin in uptown Minneapolis, I don’t work today or tomorrow, but this weekend if you wanted to come after 5 (when my general manager is gone) I can hook you up as long as we’re not insanely busy or about to close, if you want to come another time dm me or reply to this comment.
I used to go there all the time! Ill add it to my cheat day rotation, I'm not sure when, but we'll probably bump into each other lol
So I know the point of this video was to NOT use Variant human...buuut if you did you could take the Fighting Initiate feat to get access to unarmed fighting at level 1 and deal 1d8+Str mod for unarmed attacks. So you're dealing level 11 monk damage without being a level 11 monk.
My boi, Deku. Would love a Kirishima build someday -- wait, thirty-one videos this month. Wow. Feels dirty asking for more right now.
Love the video, love the build; Tulok, you're awesome.
I get that you wanted to get Tensers Transformation as quickly as possible, but Lv10 and punchy boy still cant punch?
Just throw the first Monk level in a bit early earlier, no biggie. I’d probably go for it at 2nd Level, because why not?
He is being thematic there. Midoryia dont really punch things that often, he mostly break his limbs doing those explosive things that Tulok chose to represent via spells like Thunderwave and Shatter
@@luisgusta not really. Midoriya is a close combat specialist and once he develops full clowling, the bone breaking isnt much of a thing anymore unless things get suuuuper serious
Not gonna lie, for a minute, I thought he was gonna Scott Pilgrim us again. Nope, just took a lot longer than expected to get those monk levels in.
@@luisgusta good point actually. He really didnt do a lot of punching in the earlier episodes and tensers fits full cowling pretty well
Honestly True Strike has its niche if for whatever reason you can't nail your target down this turn or are setting up a combo where the advantage outweighs the two chances to hit.
This one is gonna be interesting depending on what arc you did...
For all his skills of observation, there's one thing that deku took way too long to notice... About Ururaka
QOAH! you really blew up man. I just got this in my sub box and went "hey, havent seen one of these in awhile!" Didnt know you grew from 20kish to 120k. Good on you man. Keep it up
I rarely want to see you rebuild a character, but when the manga wraps up you're going to need to revisit this one.
No 😃
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Fair enough
Kishibe Rohan build would just be a 20 Bard, he’s a writer
i’ve tried to build him before, he would probably get a lot of enchantment/abjuration spells. he could even do the classic “i cannot hurt kishibe rohan” with the sanctuary spell
The new scribe wizard would actually be a pretty good fit for him, I would think.
@@pmf98 yeah actually, that’s a pretty good idea as well. the manifest mind ability could just be [HEAVENSU DOAR]
What you do is important to us
This month is probably gonna be hard on you so here’s some encouragement. I look forward to your videos every week. You’re one of my favorite TH-camrs. You’re funny. Keep up the good work!
GET THAT Ad Dosh my dude!
