A running joke at my table is "you saved against frightful presence." "So my character's not scared?" "You don't get the "frightened condition", but there is a barn sized fire breathing apex predator flexing it's wings at you, being scared would be a reasonable decision"
@@AlleyFang 🤨 "reasonable? Have you seen the stuff i've done?" "(Deadpan) yes" "Then you know theres nothing reasonable about me. Time to die dragon!!!"
I really like the way you look at subclasses and the choices you make Tulok. I've never really tried to replicate a pop culture character for my games but you make odd choices that really work.
I don't even try to make pop culture characters in D&D because 1) Tulok does the work form me, and he does a hell of a job. 1) So many people tick so many boxes its almost impossible to do it right.
This is definitely my favorite Pirates of the Caribbean build. I really like how you reflavored samurai for this, that subclass is mechanically really strong but I feel like its flexibility can be a bit hamstrung because you say it and everyone immediately thinks the character has to be from Japan. Also, the cutlass pun was great.
I like Samurai quite a bit, but "flexible" isn't exactly what I would call it. If you want a Wisdom-heavy melee fighter who is also good at persuasion, samurai is a fantastic choice without having to invest in 4 different Abilities.
@@TheRawrnstuff That's fair, I was mainly focusing on Fighting Spirit, the two abilities that modify it, and Rapid Strikes which I think work just as well for a really disciplined warrior as it does a scrappy street fighter that hits fast and doesn't go down easy or a tough archer. But yeah, Elegant Courtier can be a little tricky to fit with that.
@@isaachepworth7860 A European samurai...my head goes straight to Cyan Garamonde from Final Fantasy 6. Yeah I know Doma is Old Japan in FF14, but in 6 it had the same vaguely European design as the other castles, and he's got a French surname anyway.
I will say I really respect you for not only sticking to your position of using Samurai for the abilities and also following that up with "...or leave I don't really care."
Although monkey is not included in Find Familiar for Pact of the Chain, it shouldn’t be too hard to convince a DM to allow a reskinned baboon to be your familiar, especially when a baboon has the same CR as other familiars at 0.
Also, can’t Imps shapeshift? Since it says to keep its original statistics, and its attack Sting specifies that in a beast form can be used as a Bite, we should be fine to reflavor the Spider form into a monkey.
@@LocalMaple Hell, if my player wanted a monkey rather than an imp/quasit... fuck it. I mean, I had one who wanted an almiraj as her familiar (she wanted a fae bunny... which is what they are basically) and I made it work.
Honestly just having an imp that looks like a monkey is less Homebrew than keeping a physical sword in their chest cavity opposed to magically Conjuring it out of thin air There's a mechanical advantage with that especially if there's an anti-magic field
Hearing Tulok get increasingly salty towards the trolls in the comment section never fails to make my day. Good thing he sustains himself on their tears
Sparrowkabob is actually a local delicacy in Kyoto! I've been there twice, and BOTH times forgot that sparrow was an option on the local menu until I was actually leaving Kyoto...maybe if I ever travel again, I'll try it and report back how good it is or isn't.
This definitely makes perfect sense to me as a Barbossa build. And honestly, if you wanted to do non-Undead Barbossa, you could probably just change the Warlock Patron from Undead to Fathomless. Hell, with Pact of the Blade, that even fits thematically with Barbossa getting that sea magic from Blackbeard’s sword
@@ArcCaravan Well, if you think about it, he kinda always did. Undead for COTBP obviously. You could probably argue Undead again or Fathomless for AWE since he was under Calypso’s influence. I could ALMOST see Genie in OST since he was a privateer for the British Crown at the time. And then Fathomless or Hexblade for DMTNT with Blackbeard’s sword
Barbossa is Yosemite Sam to Jack's Bugs Bunny...I hadn't thought about it like that, and now this sounds way more fun. I imagine that he uses prestidigitation to make his clothes dirty just to spite the living. _He_ can't smell it, after all.
I always scroll through the comments and I never see anybody complain. Everybody loves your videos, and nobody ever complains about your design choices. Stop gaslighting me Tulok
I made a pirate character that was based on the Admiral Krakenov skin for the Stukov character from heroes of the storm and starcraft 2. He's basically a mix of Barbosa and Davey Jones. He's got a bunch of levels in spore druid and about 3 levels in fathomless warlock. The druid spell list has a bunch of tricks that let him control the wind, waves, and flames. Cantrips like shillelagh, thorn whip, and green flame blade are his go to combat tricks while his spore cloud is up and the giant tentacle from fathomless is waving in the air. Mold earth is a must have because sometimes you need to dig a shallow grave or bury a treasure chest with the wave of a hand. And of course at least three levels of fathomless warlock are needed because you need the swim speed, the quasit familiar that can be reflavored as both a monkey and a parrot, and mask of many faces because his race in Reborn and he's literally a walking talking skeleton with a giant octopus where his left arm and shoulder used to be. The octopus is also his symbiotic entity dark gift. He's a writhing mass of tentacles puppeteering an amnesiac skeleton around and calling himself Captain Wiggly Bones. The name tag and rank insignia on the admirals coat the octopus never lets anyone remove clearly says "Admiral William Brontotheer" in celestial, but Captain Wiggly Bones feels right to him.
Wow, I was completely wrong in how you would approach this. I didn't even get the starting race right. Your logic is, of course, impeccable and I can't really argue against it.
Since you streamed dark souls 3, and came out with smough and ornstein, I've been waiting to see how the great character creator would build the Nameless King
...hmmm... Rune Knight 3, some paladin for the lightning swordspear, probably just call it a glaive stats-wise (though the Glaive is a different weapon), go mostly caster to get the wind blasts... Actually Eldritch Blast would be pretty darn good for those... get haste*, Flight, ... I don't think there's a good direct equivalent for the lightning spears so maybe use Sacred Flame and boost it high. Hmmm, Draconic Sorceror [insert cutscene of dragon coup-de-grace] for main cast class? Tulok's Dragonlock might be the best option... there's the lightning AoE slam and the Lightning Stake, the charges-into-impaling-ashen-one grab, his 3-hit horizontzl slice combo, his forward lunge with stupid reach that he can chain at least twice.... I think that's most of his attacks. Might not need Dex very much, the stats on his Dragonscale Armor are actually really good, they're at least medium armor if not heavy armor. *IDK if you actually need Haste... And I guess go Goliath like Ornstein and Smough?
Love your off the wall way of making characters. True to character makes these reflect the different possibilities in character creation. And I'd like to start and see: Day 1 of asking for Skull kid w/ Majoras mask
Thank you for Kirk and Spock. Still pulling for Eglantine Price (Bednobs and Broomsticks), Winifred Sanderson (Hocus Pocus), Prince Voltran (Flash Gordon), Counselor Troi (Star Trek tNG), Mary Poppins, and the Reverend Doctor Syn (The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh). Bugs Bunny would be great. So would Sir Dragonet King Arthur's court jester (Idylls of the King/Morte d'Arthur).
Love the video, my favourite character in the franchise. And hey, ToA introduces Flying Monkey as a (variant) Find Familiar option, so if we want Jack let's just pretend he doesn't have a pair of wings lol
YARRR! Barbossa is quite the antagonist for Jack Sparrow, hustling the power balance for the naught but humble pirate crew of the Black pearl, this is an interesting take for this one to incarnate the ghost ship pirate stereotype! little fates can be as terrifying as the misfortune to meet a crew of immortal buccaneers, being caught by the Flying Dutchman or never getting a Tangle the lemur build!! (*Shivers*). This one is sure to be a blast of an adventure, and with the power of immortality there is hope that no one with a pistol with a single shot holded for ten years will meddle with your plans.
Comparing Barbosa and Jack to Yoesmite Sam and Bugs Bunny is the most unexpectedly accurate thing I have heard, on this channel, maybe. There is a lot of competition. Did you combine a True Strike joke with a salty fan joke? Now that's multi-classing!
I was going to suggest Revenant for Barbosa because he has a task he can complete related to his “death”, he can’t die, and he knows the direction and distance from his goal once the coin fell into the ocean. Plus, once his goal is complete, he dies! He does get revived latter but we’re talking about the first movie.
By their own definition keeping the sword in their chest cavity is Homebrew not reflavoring because he's changing the mechanics of conjuring a weapon and making that a non magical process and physically storing the blade within the body
Personally I feel Jack was Depp's best performance. And as well, I think, his performance is the weakest of the main characters. He's the worst pirate in the movie, but I have heard of him. And honestly his performance was pretty good in the first one, which goes to show how incredibly the rest of the cast do their roles. And Geoffrey Rush is easily the best performance of it all, so I'm excited to watch this video. No shade to anyone who feels differently about the actors, just wanted to babble and drop a minor personal tier list. (Sparrow, Turner, Swan, Barbossa)
Actually, the cursed pirates seem to fit the Revenant from the old UA there, even with the condition to lose the curse there. For the Jack the Monkey...while there isn't a normal monkey familiar, ToA does give a way to get a flying monkey as one.
I know this video has been out for a while so you might not see this but I think an excellent pirate style build would be Guybrush Threepwood from the Monkey Island games. Would love to see your take on it!
Tulok: barbossa isnt a rogue Also Tulok: take true strike for your sneak attack Also I typically rule that small monkeys share their stats with weasels which are an option for fammilliars
Cutlass should be stab-more...nice. Caught covid last week and binged watch Game of Thrones for the 3rd time...how about a Tyrian Lannister or Arya Stark build?
Love the video and loving the builds, I don’t know where to make suggestions for characters or vote for next build so Ill ask here, what about a build for old warboss Grimskull from warhammer 40k space marine game
Day 1 Of asking Tulok to re-make his Link build. (I watched the old one and man I can see that you are a BIG fan of TLOZ and with the new tashas options and other new books/subclasses I would love to see your incredible mind re-make that build =D)
This morning I was curious about a 5e build for Roger Smith from Anerican Dad. Currently thinking Changeling with Charlatan background for disguises and either Rogue or Bard to make his personas as convincing as possible. Maybe get the Mask of Many Faces invocation from Warlock or an initiate feat from Tasha's.
So I've called your channel RAW before as a statement against the assholes, but I meant it as you following mechanics ,not fluff, and primarily to defend you're decision not to use Mercer's stuff. If anyone out there thinks the name or description of a class/ability is "RAW" then they don't understand the difference between mechanics and fluff. A Rogue can be reflavored as a nobleman, a Barbarian can be reflavored as a Samurai, a Warlock can be reflavored as a Sorcerer, etc., and all of these examples are build I've played before. Especially proud of the Barb as I renamed all of the abilities, with Rage becoming Focus, Reckless Attacks becoming Selfless Strikes, etc. P.S. Quick nitpick and I'm sorry, a Rogue's Sneak Attack doesn't have to be "underhanded" or anything. I've been practicing HEMA for about a decade now and I would definitely say that a sneak attack can just as easily be a feint.
How to build Mad Sweeney from American Gods, the 6 ft Leprechaun or the Celtic God Fairy King Lugh of the Tuatha Dé Danann, or the Mad King Suibhne Mac Colmain? Point is your a fairy brawler with more than just lucky charms for spells. Possible Classes: Rouge and Druid: blend misdirection and slight of hand with spells and charms from the emerald isles. Themes: Down on your luck or is the universe simply after you as a symbol of luck and fortune. Whilst on your journey to find your true history be sure to aid your companions with some clever roles. Just be mindful of your lucky charms when building up your pot of gold. Race: Variant Human of the Fey or fairy folk. Gimicks: Gold for Spells: Sacrifice gold for favoritism, build up a healthy tab between you and your gods. Just be mindful of your debts as gods are the worst kind of loan sharks and you might find yourself stabbed in the back with a Nordic Spear.
I really need to win the lottery so I can afford to commission videos. I want guybrush threepwood and classic mega man. (x doesn't have a dog and mega man doesn't rely so heavily on armors. he also doesn't start each game with less HP than the bosses.)
The one thing I might change about this build is making Barbossa a Revenant instead of using Custom Lineage for that true immortality, with your goal being "gather all the coins." The ability to know the direction and distance to your goal is a bit out of character, but consider: in the movie, he *does* die as soon as his goal is completed.
@@RobertBass plus they say it's the curse from the gold keeping it alive so it fits with the Revenant coming back If a player walked up to me and handed this idea over I'd be over the moon for it. Cuz now I have the excuse to create all kinds of enemies after the gold and maybe allies wishing to be free as well Heck I'm tempted to have my BBEG in the game I'm running have this as his backstory instead of being just a vampire necromancer

“Barbosa is Yosemite Sam and jack sparrow is bugs bunny “ might be the most accurate description I’ve heard since he called Tidus rugby Encino man.
Best Tulok life advise yet, "If they aren't afraid of you, just stab them until they are."
A running joke at my table is "you saved against frightful presence."

"Then you know theres nothing reasonable about me. Time to die dragon!!!"
That "Rules as Written" diatribe was perfect.
Honestly was half expecting bard levels w/ the charisma, but undead lock makes so much more sense!
I honestly expected Undead Warlock just to differentiate the build from the other PotC characters.
@@ArcCaravan I was similarly expecting undead warlock since it's very on brand for Barbosa.
Oof been spoiled
Fun fact: I had no idea his first name was Hector. I just though he was called “Barbosa” nothing more.
I was just thinking that exact same thing
I think jack calls him hector in one movie
Just as fun fact: iirc Johnny just called him that as a joke and it became canon
Jack called him hector but I love calling him barbosa

Samurai is my favorite subclass for both pirates and cowboys

Loving all the references in this video :)

Same!
"You may not be able to feel the warmth of the sun anymore, but you CAN point your ship at it." I like that.
Was expecting the Undead Warlock, not expecting the Samurai
Its very fun try and guess what Tulok is gonna do with each character he builds

Introducing your character as a "Pirate-Samurai" is unironically one of the coolest things ever.
Comparing Barbosa and Jack to Yoesmite Sam and Bugs Bunny is the most unexpectedly accurate thing I have heard, on this channel, maybe. There is a lot of competition.
Did you combine a True Strike joke with a salty fan joke? Now that's multi-classing!

u can see in the movies Geoffrey Rush seeming to have the time of his life playing Barbossa in the movies :V
If I ever running a sea campaign for my players, I'm definitely building Barbossa and having him be the player's captain
Love the choices made here. A great build.

Actually, the cursed pirates seem to fit the Revenant from the old UA there, even with the condition to lose the curse there.
For the Jack the Monkey...while there isn't a normal monkey familiar, ToA does give a way to get a flying monkey as one.

@@aetherspiralknight Sorry i didn't responded earlier ; was busy getting my daily 18 hours of sleep and teleporting to random places.
I know this video has been out for a while so you might not see this but I think an excellent pirate style build would be Guybrush Threepwood from the Monkey Island games. Would love to see your take on it!
Now do a Samurai Character with the Swashbuckler Archetype.
There's probably someone from Samurai Warriors who fits that bill
I didn’t know Tulok had such a great Aziz Ansari impression in his bag.
I think there is a flying monkey in some book somewhere. Just take off the flyspeed. Also loved Samurai for this. :)
Tulok: barbossa isnt a rogue
Also Tulok: take true strike for your sneak attack
Also I typically rule that small monkeys share their stats with weasels which are an option for fammilliars
Personally, I appreciate the way you use the class abilities to their fullest potential instead of "swashbuckler is pirate!!"
I really love these "How to play" videos but I'd love to see how you would conquer Sienna's unchained subclass from Vermintide 2
Love this build! XD question for tulok or friends- are there any pact of the chain builds on this channel?
Pokemon Trainer comes to mind. It's very old, though.
At Fighter level 1 and somehow I expect some weird sorcerer/warlock build later

P.S. Quick nitpick and I'm sorry, a Rogue's Sneak Attack doesn't have to be "underhanded" or anything. I've been practicing HEMA for about a decade now and I would definitely say that a sneak attack can just as easily be a feint.
MY FAVORITE PIRATE ☠
How to build Mad Sweeney from American Gods, the 6 ft Leprechaun or the Celtic God Fairy King Lugh of the Tuatha Dé Danann, or the Mad King Suibhne Mac Colmain? Point is your a fairy brawler with more than just lucky charms for spells.
Possible Classes:
Rouge and Druid: blend misdirection and slight of hand with spells and charms from the emerald isles.
Themes: Down on your luck or is the universe simply after you as a symbol of luck and fortune. Whilst on your journey to find your true history be sure to aid your companions with some clever roles. Just be mindful of your lucky charms when building up your pot of gold.
Race: Variant Human of the Fey or fairy folk.
Gimicks:
Gold for Spells: Sacrifice gold for favoritism, build up a healthy tab between you and your gods. Just be mindful of your debts as gods are the worst kind of loan sharks and you might find yourself stabbed in the back with a Nordic Spear.
Next game first thing I do is eat a whole bushel of apples!
I think, next December Tulok, you should do 31 days of League of Legends characters. Just a thought from a patron. Love your builds!
I really need to win the lottery so I can afford to commission videos. I want guybrush threepwood and classic mega man. (x doesn't have a dog and mega man doesn't rely so heavily on armors. he also doesn't start each game with less HP than the bosses.)
Wasn't Revenant a thing? I remember Revenant being a thing.
That aside, nice build!
Wanted to do something different I guess
Did anyone else notice that he basically said you had swashbuckler at Warlock 1
Can you do an Aragami build? A ninja made out of shadows sounds fun
In the first movie he isn't a player he is a bbeg meaning give him whatever you want he is an NPC
Anyone else time saying "maybe" with Tulok every video? I feel like it can't be just me.
for being undead he looks severely jaundiced
The one thing I might change about this build is making Barbossa a Revenant instead of using Custom Lineage for that true immortality, with your goal being "gather all the coins." The ability to know the direction and distance to your goal is a bit out of character, but consider: in the movie, he *does* die as soon as his goal is completed.
They did claim the gold called to them and don't forget when Elizabeth fell into the water the medallion sent out that pulse
@@dave1411 Fair point, it might be a better match than I initially thought.
@@RobertBass plus they say it's the curse from the gold keeping it alive so it fits with the Revenant coming back
If a player walked up to me and handed this idea over I'd be over the moon for it. Cuz now I have the excuse to create all kinds of enemies after the gold and maybe allies wishing to be free as well
Heck I'm tempted to have my BBEG in the game I'm running have this as his backstory instead of being just a vampire necromancer
This is awesome!!
Okay this vid was released at the same time that For Honor is releasing a pirate character? Coincidence? I THINK N- yeah probably just a coincidence
Try Wilkons Coffee.
For Honor still has active support?
@@kennybrightwell1877 yeah it has had at least bi weekly content if not weekly since release
@@JabezFuutonSpecialis or else
I really wanted to make a joke about him being a Barrrrrrrrghd
I was convinced this was going to be a bard. I guess I've watched too many of your Batman Rogues videos.
