    If you watch batman meets the ninja turtles movie Scarecrow actually gets literally turned into a Kenku. This happens when the Joker releases a toxic gas that turns people into anthropomorphic animals that he got from Shredder. Check it out; it's a pretty good movie too.

    I had a fear based character, dragonborn whisper bard / conquest paladin, lots of ways to cause fear, including the racial dragon roar feat to replace breath weapon. Basically all enemies around him were frightened of him, couldn't move, and were taking psychic damage the whole time. He was great for crowd control.

    _Herbert West (a mad scientist, raising deads with alchemy) from The Reanimator movies
    _Supernatural Investigator (variety of choices) from the 2 recent games
    _Cultist (GOO Warlock/wizard) from the various games
    _A challenging build : The Color (a litteral color, kind of an invisible monster with both vampiric power and affecting nature) from the 2019 movie with Nicolas Cage.

    There are swords that are just militarized sickle and scythe blades. Sickle swords (think bronze age Egypt and Mesopotamia) are just as effective as straight swords when made of the same material. For a two-handed one, the Falx is pretty cool. Either way in d&d they're just different flavors of normal swords.

    Episode #150 of the Fire Emblem stats: Jonathan Crane.
    I'm going to mix the Arkham and Injustice versions here. He's good at brawling (which I'll count his syringe gloves as), axes (which I'll count his sickle as), and authority. He's weak in reason because that neutralizes his fear toxin.
    He's pretty weak overall in terms of stats but he has a better luck stat than most since he's the master of disorienting people.

    Notes from a NG human Idiot;
    Greetings from lovely Restenford!
    You could technically make a non-combat version of Dr.Crane(basically the Batman Begins version) by switching Monk 1 with Artificer 3(Alchemist subclass). You have to give up two more Bard levels, but you gain all those nice chemical interactions that made Batbales Crane more dangerous imho. It also gives you more combat options if you DO overextend....
    May your pantheon Ever favor you(especially in these trying times),

    I was waiting for the next Batman villain and yet another wonderful build. I don’t have a Twitter but I wanted to make a recommendation. I just started on this passion project Power Ranger campaign and I thought “I wonder how Tulok would build a Power Ranger...” I looked up some stuff and while an actual Ranger (maybe Horizon Walker) would fit more idealistically, I figured that, mechanically, 10 levels of Celestial Bladelock (for a personal weapon like some rangers have, mage armor for ranger armor, and the Sculptor of Flesh invocation to turn into your Zord), 7/8 levels of Kensei Monk, and 2/3 levels of Battlemaster Fighter (for teamwork abilities) would be a cool setup. Just something to think about while we’re all stuck at home bein nerds. Can’t wait for the next one!

Again, I was more just trying to come up with Loxodont characters, and besides Barbar, Tembo was the only one I could think of. But hey, if you’re interested, check the game out; it’s a Sonic style running platformer, but since Tembo is a big boy, he can actually just smash his way through walls and shit, giving his gameplay a unique twist.

    In its current version in 5e, Contagion only poisons the creature it hits with the melee attack, and putting the poisoned condition on a creature without a save is the main reason to use this spell. The poisoned creature can't get any of the actual diseases until it fails its CON save against the spell at the end of each of its turns 3 times.

      @@dragonarchive7443 it is kind of complicated. Basically you pick a character to be a messenger (the messenger can be yourself) and they go into the dreams of someone else. The messenger then gives your target a message of ten words or less, and they make a save. If they fail, they gain no benefit from the rest, and take 3d6 damage when they wake up.
      It is mostly a rp spell and not very strong for 5th level

    Mastermind Rogue/Illusionist Wizard
    For the alternative, Scarebeast, route, full Conquest Paladin, or perhaps dipping a few levels into Illusionist

    Hexblade curse, next round prepare a wrathful smite, then hit them with 2d6 damage + prof x2 + 1d6, add another 2d6 for psychic blades and a WIS save against frightened.

  • @vogunBurgundy

    _Things I'd've done instead, probably_
    A: Swap out 3 Bard levels for 3 Rogue levels. It might not be optimized, per se, but at this point Scarecrow would already have a ton of options on the board for different ways to put people in mental pain, including Feeblemind, probably what should be his Trump Card as far as "fear toxin" (magic) goes. So, all you're getting with these last few Bard levels is more powerful "fear toxin", and more "speed" (Dexterity), which strikes me as the sort of avenue to take for a more "Super" comic character. For someone like Crane, where skill and subtlety is really important, having even a couple extra Sneak Attack dice goes a long way to making a character feel like a cowardly trickster, and Expertise in Stealth- in combination with Cunning Action- means you're able to much more consistently back off whenever you need to (which, with low AC/HP, is probably often.) IIRC, if you really want the 9th Level Spell Slot, the Multi-Class Spellcasting Rules in combination with Arcane Trickster would even improve your overall Spellcasting level to 17 (though you'd still lose the actual 9th level Bard spells themselves- not a huge loss imo, Psychic Scream doesn't exactly seem easy to re-skin as "Fear Toxin" what with its causing heads to explode.)
    B: Whips- a Reach, Finesse weapon that deals a d4 Slash-type damage. I don't know about you, but Crane's chains in Injustice (I think those clips are?) seem like long, flexile weapons, capped with sharp hooks that slash things, and that would require considerable finesse to make viable at all as a practical weapon.
    Do Bards (or Rogues/Monks for that matter) get Whip proficiency, in 5e? Apparently _not!-_ it's not like they're THE iconic class for getting very specifically whip proficiency (while no one else did) for as long as D&D's had them around, or anything. (Yes, I'm salty.) What I'll say though is that, if you were at my table, you would be allowed to slap people with one _(from behind a coerced meat-shield, even, since you have reach)_ and thus make Psychic Blades relevant before like, the very end of the game. (Maybe Unearthed Arcana/other future content will help make that a real, legit thing you can use in builds, who knows.)
