    I played a hellboy inspired character but instead I went with a tiefling paladin using a maul because it's noted in the comics hellboy is a bad shot and most of the time beats his enemies use his strength as well being a paladin captures hellboy's oxymoronic nature but this fits pretty well.

      @@dragonmaster613 Can always work around with your DM, to modify the item description to be ONE huge ass gauntlet, instead of two normal gauntlets.
      i had made an homebrew version of the Ogre's might gauntlets to make an Ogre's Might prosthetic arm for a character.
      it all started as a joke with the DM when i choose this as my uncommon item when we started our campaign for my Dark Knight toon( Vengeance Pally/Hexblade Warlock), where the DM said something, like " be carefull when taking a leak or going on the potty break with these, since you won't have a sense of touch and the bonus STR might be problemtaic.
      So after some brainstorming, my character ended up with a prostethic arm that bumped his STR to 19, and also gave him a 2+ Ac like a shield as long that he din't actively uses his arm for something( an unharmed attack or too busy grappling/pushing/lifting something)
      The Con be that from time to time the character has some difficulty judging the neccesary strength for doing things with this arm and hand, so i "accidentaly" break stuff( when i grab shit with my Ogre's claw , the Dm would ask me to make a STR check, and i have to make 10+, if succeed then nothing happens, if i fail, my fingers has a nervous twitch and breaks/crush what i'm holding with this hand)
      Broke the ribs and collar bone of a guy when i forgot about it and "lightly tapped" him on the shoulder to give him a "good work" tap...

    Something i did for my own hell boy build was become a feral tiefling highest would be dex then wis con int str chr then do 3 levels fighter to grab monster Hunter then get the next 11 into monk(open hand) then 3 more levels into fighter then grab 3 levels into ranger for more monster hunting flavor since you should grab monster slayer or horizen walker. And when people say hell boy doesn't seem dextery based yea he doesn't do flips constantly but he agile and its more for flavor to get that sweet punching power the ranger is manly to get more hunting powers along with some spells while hellboy doesn't know alot he knows a few ( unfortunately could't get animate dead like in the movie) but thoughts pls

  • @smilevsky
    @smilevsky 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I always wanted to play Hellboy and figured out this build:
    Race: reflavor tortle into tiefling-looking creature. You'd need natural armor (Hellboy doesn't wear any), and other abilities lay perfectly. Shell defense may be a stance where you protect yourself from attacks with Right hand of Doom.
    Background: Inheritor. You got youry Right hand of Doom and swore to protect it. Your DM may be helping you uncover it's magical properties over the course of the game.
    Class: Paladin, oath of watchers. Hellboy can actually do magic and this particular oath gives some abilities that jive with it. As fighting style pick Blessed warrior, pick Sacred flame as cantrip - that would be your gun. Maybe ask your DM if you can replace save with spell attack for this cantrip to represent you actually shooting.

      Doesn’t need a neutral/evil alignment to be bad at following orders, just a crap charisma stat.

    He has great HP, strength, and defense but he's more of a tank when it comes to speed and he's not very charming at all.
