Video Game protagonists as D&D characters

[Xaroth]

I created a thread which can be found here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?347835-Video-Game-bosses-as-D-amp-D-characters&p=17450556), but for those that don't want to click it's Video Game bosses as D&D characters. Following along that path I realised I'd be as well making one for Video Game protagonists as well. Here are a couple that have been contributed and that I've thought of myself.

If anybody would like to contribute protagonists I'll add your contributions to the list and either work on it myself at some point or allow somebody else to take it on.

If there's a recurring protagonist in a game series (i.e. Mario), please specify which game in the series.

If there is more than one protagonist, please list the protagonists in the format:

[Protagonist name] ([Game])

Taking a new line for each protagonist.

If you complete a protagonist as a character, please post its full character sheet. Assume you have exactly as much money as you need for the purpose of acquiring the items.

[TrueJordan]

EDIT: I didn't read the above, apparently.

Mewtwo! (Pokemon)
I guess a mid-level psion would be able to replicate most of his stuff, thinking about it.
But I don't have time to make a whole thing.

If it comes to MVC, I'd like to see

Shuma Gorath (MVC3)

just because he's such an oddball character :smallbiggrin:


How to stat Super Mario... well, he's human, he regularly uses potions (well, toadstools) of Enlarge Person, and he's got a ridiculous jump check, and only one hit point.
So I'm thinking, low level Warlock with the Leaps and Bounds invocation, using Eldritch Blast for the firebolts, and probably a Ring of Improved Jumping, and a constitution of 3.
This needs some more brainstorming though; does D&D even have rules to harm enemies by jumping on top of them? Perhaps via Dungeon Crasher?

[Bluydee]

Battlejump (http://dndtools.eu/feats/unapproachable-east--33/battle-jump--187/) is what you're looking for. Technically it would be double damage from an unarmed strike, but whatever.

Give him the Feeble flaw. Figure out how to get him Roof-Jumper as early as possible. Death from Above, unarmed strike with feet.

Just give him spiked iron boots or something. Because we all know plumbers wear those... :smalltongue:

[Grey Watcher]

Heh, I was doing a thought experiment along these lines with the cast of Chrono Trigger and the Pathfinder rules. The broad strokes should still work.

First, Crono, Lucca, and Frog's magical abilities are probably best handled as spell-like abilities they just get on top of their regular class features. (Trying to gish Crono to the point where he can learn something equivalent to Luminaire sounds... daunting.)

Crono - finesse Fighter
Lucca - Artificer (in PF she'd be a Gunslinger with the 3rd Party Mechanist Archetype, but failing that an Artificer with a gun works)
Marle - Favored Soul? I'm loath to give her full casting, since I don't want her to eclipse Magus in sheer power, but even her "non-magical" techs are magical.
Frog - Two-Handed Weapon Fighter or Paladin (if you want his magic attached to his class). Lotsa ranks in Jump
Robo - Probably a Fighter with Improved Unarmed Strike? Monk might work, but leans a little too mystical.
Ayla - Barbarian with Improved Unarmed Strike. (Again, Monk might work, but seems even less appropriate for her than it does for Robo. There's a third party PF class called Pugilist that, with some fixes, would be ideal for her.)
Magus - Sorcerer or Wizard with a Fighter dip and a gish PrC (again, this has the problem of putting him behind Marle in terms of magical prowess, which seems wrong.

[Svata]

It wasn't Sold Snake in MGS3. It was Naked Snake (Big Boss), who Solid was cloned from.

[Kurald Galain]

Magus - Sorcerer or Wizard with a Fighter dip and a gish PrC (again, this has the problem of putting him behind Marle in terms of magical prowess, which seems wrong.

Magus could be an Eldritch Knight; there are ways of entering that with only one or even zero non-caster levels.

[Jeff the Green]

I can probably do Zidane (FF9). Some criteria:

TWF with knives and two-bladed swords. (:smallyuk:)
Ability to steal in combat.
Debuffs mostly based on his weapon.
Protect girls.
Impressive magical nova damage.


So I'm thinking Psychic Rogue/Revenant Blade with ambush feats, Sleight of Hand optimization, Expanded Knowledge for a couple blast powers, and wands of shield other. I'll work up a full build soon.

[Kurald Galain]

Crono - finesse Fighter
How does a fighter cast Luminaire, though? For that matter, Robo has laser cannons, and note that one of Ayla's default abilities is stealing.

First, Crono, Lucca, and Frog's magical abilities are probably best handled as spell-like abilities they just get on top of their regular class features. (Trying to gish Crono to the point where he can learn something equivalent to Luminaire sounds... daunting.)

Now, granted, it's not strict RAW-compliant to do it that way, but I'm at a loss for how to give him the appropriate magical powers (Lightning Bolt, Chaining Lighting (?), Raise Dead, and Sunburst (?)) without basically turning him into a caster. Still, I suppose a gish build that's more even than Magus's (which would be caster-heavy).

Robo I really have no clue what to do with. Are there Warforged feats or PrCs that allow one to generate lasers, explosions, electrical charges, and healing?

Ayla's Kiss and Charm techs, I dunno. The former might be best handled by pumping up her Heal check as much as possible. (Loses the "kiss it and make it better" flavor, and becomes an out of combat thing, but keeps it non-magical.) Charm, I dunno. Are there 3.5 rules that are equivalent to PF's Steal Combat Maneuver?

Maybe to keep Marle's casting better than Crono's but worse than Magus's, she could be a healing-focused Bard? Granted, she never demonstrates any musical talents in-game, but she is the one who does the most prodding along of the plot, and she is a support caster.

[Shadowscale]

Link from Legend of Zelda Majora's mask. That'd be really cool.

[Kazudo]

I would be requesting Ness from Earthbound, but a somewhat optimized PsyWar would actually fix that problem entirely, since it's made obvious that Ness's abilities aren't because of magic, but psionics.

Amaterasu from Okami would be pretty difficult though having to factor in Divine Ranks (She IS a deity after all), and the version from one of the splatbooks just wouldn't cover it. (I think she was covered in a splatbook at some point, anyway).

[Muggins]

Unless I hear any complaints, I think I've got the tools with which to make Raiden. You know, that guy with the sword.

I'd use standard Iron Chef submission format, it's the most comprehensive.

But Crono is a caster; it's a plot point in Chrono Trigger (as is the fact that Ayla is explicitly not a caster).


Robo I really have no clue what to do with. Are there Warforged feats or PrCs that allow one to generate lasers, explosions, electrical charges, and healing?
Hm. Wizard 5 covers the offensive part, not sure how to get healing.


Ayla's Kiss and Charm techs, I dunno. The former might be best handled by pumping up her Heal check as much as possible. (Loses the "kiss it and make it better" flavor, and becomes an out of combat thing, but keeps it non-magical.) Charm, I dunno. Are there 3.5 rules that are equivalent to PF's Steal Combat Maneuver?
I'm ok with using PF material; the top post doesn't restrict it to 3.5. Giving her Improved Steal and Greater Steal feats would be a good start.


Maybe to keep Marle's casting better than Crono's but worse than Magus's, she could be a healing-focused Bard? Granted, she never demonstrates any musical talents in-game, but she is the one who does the most prodding along of the plot, and she is a support caster.
That works. Marle has a few scenes where she does Perform (Oratory), too.

So basically,

Crono - battle-focused Cleric (he can use raise dead, for crying out loud) with Whirlwind Attack
Lucca - Alchemist with a dip in Gunslinger
Marle - Bard works, and she has the provoke mechanic, I think there was a feat for that? Haste spell, too.
Frog - Paladin with lots of jump ranks and a racial bonus to that, but he needs some way to use water magic.
Robo - Fighter with lots of ranks in UMD (grab a feat to make it a class skill) and wands of healing, lightning bolt, and shocking grasp
Ayla - Barbarian with Improved/Greater Steal, with, well there has to be a non-magical way of healing somewhere in PF/3.5, right?
Magus - Evocation Wizard / Eldritch Knight; he's an exotic race that gets proficiency with all martial weapons

I would suggest rings of friend shield rather than wands, and limited-use abilites. The only techniques he has are regular techniques and rogue abilities unless he is in Trance. Things such as Combat Expertise/Improved Feint to represent the 'What's That!?' ability, for example.

He deals a great deal of damage, but only to single targets (unless in trance) so TWF combined with something to trigger SA (such as blurring, etc.) sounds about right.

I wonder if each of his suits would be different builds, magic items, or just stuff he can do in general.

http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100727072252/godofwar/images/1/19/Kratos_rendering_concept.jpg

Kratos (God of War III) has been added to the list.

[.Zero]

I see a problem in converting FF main protagonists in dnd system: they're all generic Str-based gishes (I'm specifically referring to. to Squall-FF8, Cloud-FF7 and Tidus-FF10) so what we really need to do is the basic Abjurant Champion build and give 'em the Summon Monster X spell, maybe adding Duskblade could be a good idea. I mean, what really would make the difference between Squall or Cloud is the spell list and the Manouvers taken. Warblade seems perfect for the both of 'em. And Tidus just screams Swiftblade to me.

It seems that you all are forgetting two big bosses of the video game popular culture: DMC3's Dante and Vergil. Even if i really. have no idea on how to effectively build Dante (it's surely Str-based, and he'll have Martial Manouvers resembling his Styles), Vergil will definitely be a Shadow Hand-based shadowpouncer with Abrupt Jaunt and a Totemist's Blink Shirt Soulmeld, and the Gloom Razor feat. If you don't want to take the shadowpouncer route, then the Sun School feat is thematically fitting better the concept, although you'll be weaker. if someone does know a better way to get at will teleportation effects, please let me know.
But the big problem with them is their devil trigger abilities. we need to give them the ability to transform themselves in half fiends, i think. But i really don't know any way to accomplish this.

[Jeff the Green]

I would suggest rings of friend shield rather than wands, and limited-use abilites. The only techniques he has are regular techniques and rogue abilities unless he is in Trance. Things such as Combat Expertise/Improved Feint to represent the 'What's That!?' ability, for example.

He deals a great deal of damage, but only to single targets (unless in trance) so TWF combined with something to trigger SA (such as blurring, etc.) sounds about right.

There aren't many nova abilities that are limited per day, and in any case that's not a particularly good representation of trance. Plus he does have Soulblade, which has too many effects to be represented just by ambush feats. Mini, confuse (if we ignore the bludgeoning requirement for head shot), and poison can be managed, but silence, sleep, petrify, and (since he won't have a darkness SLA) darkness need to be managed with other abilities. Control sound, cloud mind, telekinetic maneuver, and control light cover those. Powers like hustle also help with that damage thing by allowing pseudopouncing and more frequent SA. Plus there's Psionic Feint, which allows feinting as a swift action.

Ayway, I think LA 0 drow (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sp/20040213a) Psychic DrowDotU Rogue (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20040723b) 14/DrowDotU Fighter 1/Revenant BladePGtE 5 works. Drow rogue trades out trapfinding for poison use, and drow fighter trades heavy armor and tower shield proficiency for +2 to Initiative and Dex to damage vs. flat-footed enemies.

Feats are:

Flaw: Combat Expertise
Flaw: Two-weapon Fighting
1st: Hidden Talent (crystal shard)
3rd: Improved Feint
Fighter: Weapon Focus (double scimitar)
6th: Bladebearer of Valenar
9th: Psionic Feint
12th: Venomous StrikeDotU
Psychic Rogue: Craven
15th: Sickening StrikeDotU
18th: Practiced ManifesterCPsi

Psychic Rogue special abilities are a feat and skill mastery (Sleight of Hand). Revenant Blade can change his feats every day, but probably the best are Power Attack, Improved Critical, and Weapon Specialization.

Powers are:

Control Light
Defensive precognition
Empty mind
Control sound
Concealing amorpha
Detect hostile intent
Hustle
Greater concealing amorpha
Escape detection
Telekinetic maneuver
Psionic freedom of movement


Edit:
Regarding the other FF9 characters, Steiner is a Duskblade with Battle Caster and a custom flaw only allowing him to cast when Vivi's around, Vivi is a warmage, Dagger and Eiko are Psion/Sangehirns (summons are really just blasting powers), and Amarant's a Shadow Sun Ninja. I'm not sure about Quina and Freya. Freya might just be a raptoran paladin with Battle Jump, but Blue Magic's hard to model in D&D and swallow whole isn't easily available to PCs.

Steiner is fairly easy. Just give him a Bastard Sword with Spell Storing. Vivi casts a spell in and Steiner hits someone with it, perhaps with an ability that lets them combo it quickly. Eiko and Dagger both could be clerics with access to the Summoner Domain. Eiko is specialised more in healing but Dagger is specialised more in summoning. Freya's race is some kind of rat-people but there is a decent homebrew on this site (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?280930-The-Dragoon-Peerless-Jumper-amp-Dragon-Slayer) that covers her class.

Your guess is as good as mine on Quina. :smallsigh:

Willing Deformity (Obese) comes to mind. As does a weapon proficiency with a trident of some kind. Gains powers by eating people...

Quina might not be a good guy after all. That sounds a lot like an Illithid Savant. Unless there's some way to mitigate the racial requirements of the class...

[Sir Chuckles]

I generally say that most, if not all, JRPG and Anime characters can be chalked up to a ToB//Wizard, Sorcerer (possibly Battle), or Duskblade set up. Some finagling with feats, flaws, traits, and such, but I've always liked that as a firm chassis.

Eiko and Dagger both could be clerics with access to the Summoner Domain. Eiko is specialised more in healing but Dagger is specialised more in summoning.

Except that Sword magic is based on Steiner's stats and uses his action and MP/spell slots, not Vivi's. There's also Sword Art to account for, which is easier to do with Duskblade than most other classes I can think of.

The issue with summoning is that, except for the more recent FFs, JRPG summoning is just blasting/healing/debuffing. Psions are the best blasters, and with Sangehirn they make excellent healers (the difference between Dagger and Eiko is just power selection). Though given their personalities, Ardent (for Dagger) and Educated Wilder (for Eiko) might be more appropriate.

The character sheet/build. Kazudo's "use the Iron Chef version" works for me, so I'll use that until I hear otherwise. The character's I've seen so far in these threads haven't used any particularly uniform method.

Also, yes to Revengeance Raiden. That's the only game I've seen him in, but I think I got the gist of it. :smallamused:

[Grey Watcher]

Would you like me to mark you as in progress for these characters?

Sure, but it'll be slow going. Also, I'm gonna do the Pathfinder versions first, because I have better access to those resources at the moment.



But Crono is a caster; ... .

Sorta. The problem is, even being something like a Paladin or a Ranger gives you considerably more magical versatility than even Magus has, much less Crono.


Hm. Wizard 5 covers the offensive part, not sure how to get healing.

I'd prefer to make Robo's powers Extraordinary, since, like Ayla, he can't actually use magic.



Crono - battle-focused Cleric (he can use raise dead, for crying out loud) with Whirlwind Attack

This is surprisingly tricky in 3.5. I can't seem to find a spell list (even using Domains) that gets all three of Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, and Sunburst. Looking into alternatives, but my Spell Compendium is at my parents' house in another state. Still going to visit this weekend, so I'll take the opportunity to bring those back with me.


Lucca - Alchemist with a dip in Gunslinger

In 3.5, yes. In PF, I'd actually considering using the Arcane Bomber Wizard Archetype. (Although I'd prefer to use spontaneous caster, due to the aforementioned issues of keeping the degree of versatility in line with what you see in the games.)


Marle - Bard works, and she has the provoke mechanic, I think there was a feat for that? Haste spell, too.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I feel that Bard is the best fit. Looking at Archetypes for the PF version.


Frog - Paladin with lots of jump ranks and a racial bonus to that, but he needs some way to use water magic.

Again, this seems like the best fit.


Robo - Fighter with lots of ranks in UMD (grab a feat to make it a class skill) and wands of healing, lightning bolt, and shocking grasp

Again, I'd prefer to find a means that is non-magical, but short of homebrewing something, I'm at a loss.


Ayla - Barbarian with Improved/Greater Steal, with, well there has to be a non-magical way of healing somewhere in PF/3.5, right?

I'm sure there is. :smallamused:


Magus - Evocation Wizard / Eldritch Knight; he's an exotic race that gets proficiency with all martial weapons


Why would he be an exotic race? It seems to be that except for Frog and Robo, they're all human? Also, I'd think Sorcerer for Magus since, more so than any other character, his magic is in his blood. He was born, quite literally, to the King and Queen of magic users.

[Muggins]

I'm finding that there are quite a few ways for me to go with my build of Raiden. After all, I've got to choose between classes like Bone Knight and Slayer. Is there any basis for submitting multiple versions, or shall I just stick with one and call it a day?


Again, I'd prefer to find a means that is non-magical, but short of homebrewing something, I'm at a loss.
What about a Warforged Binder 10/Knight of the Sacred Seal 5/Spellcarved Soldier 5? Devoted to Karsus, the vestige of Use Magic Device.

I mean sure, it's still magic, but that seems like a pretty snazzy build to me.

[ArqArturo]

Is pathfinder an option?.

If so... Jotaru Kujo from Jojo's Bizzarre Adventures is a straight up Summoner.

[Kuulvheysoon]

This is surprisingly tricky in 3.5. I can't seem to find a spell list (even using Domains) that gets all three of Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, and Sunburst. Looking into alternatives, but my Spell Compendium is at my parents' house in another state. Still going to visit this weekend, so I'll take the opportunity to bring those back with me.What's the range on his single-target electricity ability? If it's fairly short, you could probably make do with Air/Sun domains, and picking up the Storm bolt [reserve] feat to give you an at-will short range lightning attack (so long as you have a Chain Lightning/[electric] spell of least 2nd level left).

[Thiyr]

As I was just thinking about this earlier.

Adam Jensen, of Deus Ex: Human Revolution

would be an interesting one to see

[Angelalex242]

Hmmm.

How would we do limit breaks?

Trying to convert Final Fantasy's mightiest powers into D&D gives things like...what...

Omnislash is 15 automatic criticals with a x4 Critical monkey gripped jotunbrood Buster Sword? He'd chop a great wyrm red dragon and/or most gods up with that. Gods only have 1000 or so hp, ya know.

I don't think there's anything that compares aside from the barbarian ACF that makes you rage whenever you're below X HP. Honestly, I'd just make it an ability to nova. Actually, I did make it an ability to nova with Zidane and an ability to manifest a heavily augmented crystal shard.

[Averis Vol]

I can do alex mercer (prototype).

I've tried this before, it was fun to work with, so I'll give it a shot to fully flesh out.

He typically needs:


extensive shape changing, probably via warshaper.
Some insane form of travel (probably via Swordsage)
A sky high jump check (eyo tiger claw, whuddup)


I'll work out a full build tomorrow.

[Angelalex242]

And then there's the SOLDIER template. Which...seems like it'd be some sort of cross between Half Fiend and Half Dragon. (Cause we're actually trying to represent Half JENOVA)

GFs are much easier, though (lucky Squall.). You use the channeling rule from the book of exalted deeds, pick a good outsider that matches your alignment, and you can channel it so long as its CR is equal to or less then your level. Add to channeling that the outsider can use its supernatural, spell-likes, and casting abilities on your behalf freely, and you should be set. (of course, such powers are at the outsider's discretion, not yours, but you can't have everything.)

[Kurald Galain]

Why would he be an exotic race? It seems to be that except for Frog and Robo, they're all human?

Zealians have elf-like ears, are immortal, and have more powerful innate magical ability than humans do. I think Elan would be a good choice (the race, not the :elan: ), but you could make a case for them counting as Elves or Aasimar.

Good point on nobody in CT being a spellbook-caster, they're all spontaneous. Note that the Weather domain gives a cleric Call Lightning, which could work for Crono.

If you're going to go Warshaper, you'll obviously have to go Shifter. A 2-level dip in Totemist wouldn't hurt either.

Maybe a Psychic Warrior 2/Totemist 2/Swordsage 6/Bloodclaw Master 5/Warshaper 5? Alternatively, trade a level of Swordsage for the Feral template. :smallwink:

His Charisma can't be that bad, since his enemies come to fear and respect him, Shinobu follows him, and Sylvia was willing to bang him.

Unbreakable Fighter is for the absurd durability that comes from being a video game character. Tetori Monk covers his wrestling training, while Serene Pit Fighter Barbarian further enhances his grapples and grants him a dex-boosting, cool-headed rage to account for his awesome dodges and lack of armor.

His "rage" powers simulate the second game's tiger form. His weapon is of course a Brilliant Energy Nodachi (it's used two-handed most times). Leadership is for his cohort (Shinobu). Couldn't find an elegant way to represent Glastonbury, of course.

Regarding Berserker of the Society - Anyone who's played a Pathfinder Society game will agree that the United Assassin's Association is a fairly close approximation - if Travis existed in Golarion he would definitely be a "professional adventurer" (read: murderhobo.) I interpreted him as Evil because he enjoys killing people and does so for sport, but Lawful because that's *all* he does that's evil - he leads an organized life otherwise, pays for his clothes, swords, and entry fees, and keeps his word.

Finally, by adding each level's bonus point to his HP, Travis's HP ends in "51."

would be an interesting one to see
Cue (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liHq08Cayp4).
Name: Fantasy!Jensen
Rather than, you know, Adam Jensen. The one from the game.

Basics:
Race: Nimblewright (10 RHD, +6 LA)
For the majority of the game Adam Jensen is no longer human, but a human mind kept alive by a cybernetic body. Just as a Nimblewright is the soul of a water elemental trapped inside a metal body, Fantasy!Jensen is a human who lives on beyond death as a construct.
Nimblewrights offer the following properties:
Construct type, traits and immunities.
Spell Resistance 27
Tipping Thrust: When the nimblewright lands a critical hit, the target is forged to make a DC 19 Reflex save or fall prone as if tripped.
Spell-Like Abilities: At-will: alter self, cat's grace, entropic shield, feather fall and haste. Caster level of 10, saves seem to be charisma-based (DC 14).
Vulnerabilities: Any cold effect slows the nimblewright for 3 rounds, and any fire effect stuns it for 1 round. Tough cookies.
Extra Stuff: Combat Reflexes and Combat Expertise as bonus feats, also gets +7 natural armour.

Ability Scores: 32 Point-Buy
Base: 16 Str, 14 Dex, 8 Con, 14 Int, 14 Wis, 12 Cha
Racial: 8 Str, +14 Dex, --- Con, +6 Wis, +8 Cha

Weapons:
Nimblewrights come pre-packaged with a pair of "rapier-hands," which are stored in their arms when not in use. They can be retrieved or deposited as a free action, deal 2d6 damage and have a critical hit range of 15-20.

At bare minimum, Fantasy!Jensen's rapier-hands possess the Aptitude property. This +1 Enhancement bonus-equivalent ability allows one weapon to count as any other weapon for the purpose of weapon-specific feats. This is your standard crit-fisher affair; Improved Critical doubles his threat range, and then Lightning Maces grants a bonus attack on each critical threat. It's not a perfect build and there's still a chance that he'll run out of attacks, but it was as good as I could manage with a mere four levels to work with.

Critical Threat Calculation:
Base: 15-20 (6 numbers)
Improved Critical: 9-20 (6*2 = 12 numbers)

Resources:
Monster Manual 2

To my understanding there are 3 Ninja Gaiden games. Which game are you going to be working from?

A JoJo's Bizzare Adventures game does exist, apparently, and can be found here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JoJo's_Bizarre_Adventure_(video_game)).

Most of the games on xbox are remakes, since I own Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the PS3 I will go with that iteration of him.

[Grey Watcher]

Zealianss have elf-like ears,

Oddly, only Magus's out-of-game artwork has the pointy ears. Given that his skin color is different from Queen Zeal's, Schala's, and even Janus's, and that Janus has rounded (http://chrono.wikia.com/wiki/Magus?file=Janus.jpg) ears (http://chrono.wikia.com/wiki/Magus?file=Janus_and_Alfador.png), this seems to be something unique to Magus, and something that occurred after he came to live among the Mystics.


are immortal,

I thought part of Queen Zeal's whole reason for building the Mammon Machine and the Ocean Palace was to gain immortality (as well as nigh-unlimited power). Which implies that, even if they live for centuries at a stretch, they're still, ultimately, mortal.


and have more powerful innate magical ability than humans do.

Well, the distinction is that they have magic at all. The society is split into the Enlightened Ones, those who can use magic, and the Earthbound Ones, those who cannot use magic at all. I don't recall anything to suggest that Crono, Marle, Lucca, and Frog are in any way less capable than the Zealians, except perhaps a lack of practice. Yes, Magus's magic is more powerful than any of the other playable characters, but he specifically comes from a family noted for being unusually powerful, and spent most of his life cultivating that power in preparation for fighting Lavos.


I think Elan would be a good choice (the race, not the :elan: ), but you could make a case for them counting as Elves or Aasimar.

If I do go the non-human route, those are solid choices.


Good point on nobody in CT being a spellbook-caster, they're all spontaneous. Note that the Weather domain gives a cleric Call Lightning, which could work for Crono.

Really? I looked up Call Lightning (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/callLightning.htm) in the SRD and it said Druid 3, and nothing else. :smallconfused:


... nobody in Chrono Trigger throws around crystals ... .

Well, there are those colored rocks that give you Triple Techs... . :smalltongue:

[Xaroth]

Rather than, you know, Adam Jensen. The one from the game.


I'm not sure if you're posting this as the completed character or to aid in creating the completed character, but we're going strictly game characters from the games.

[Xaroth]

I see a problem in converting FF main protagonists in dnd system: they're all generic Str-based gishes (I'm specifically referring to. to Squall-FF8, Cloud-FF7 and Tidus-FF10) so what we really need to do is the basic Abjurant Champion build and give 'em the Summon Monster X spell, maybe adding Duskblade could be a good idea. I mean, what really would make the difference between Squall or Cloud is the spell list and the Manouvers taken. Warblade seems perfect for the both of 'em. And Tidus just screams Swiftblade to me.

It seems that you all are forgetting two big bosses of the video game popular culture: DMC3's Dante and Vergil. Even if i really. have no idea on how to effectively build Dante (it's surely Str-based, and he'll have Martial Manouvers resembling his Styles), Vergil will definitely be a Shadow Hand-based shadowpouncer with Abrupt Jaunt and a Totemist's Blink Shirt Soulmeld, and the Gloom Razor feat. If you don't want to take the shadowpouncer route, then the Sun School feat is thematically fitting better the concept, although you'll be weaker. if someone does know a better way to get at will teleportation effects, please let me know.
But the big problem with them is their devil trigger abilities. we need to give them the ability to transform themselves in half fiends, i think. But i really don't know any way to accomplish this.

Vergil was in DMC3 as a protagonist?

[Muggins]

I'm not sure if you're posting this as the completed character or to aid in creating the completed character, but we're going strictly game characters from the games.
The name was meant as a nod to the fact that, in 3.5e, there aren't guns. Well, there are guns, but they're hidden away in the expanded rules of the DMG and they're all exotic, highly inefficient weapons. Jensen also doesn't do anything other than shoot people with them, after which point they (usually) die. This is something which everybody can do, and there's not much room for optimisation with that.

So instead of digging out some obscure rules which nobody knows, I went for the arm blades he uses during (bloody) takedowns. Because everybody likes arm blades. :smallwink:

[Kazudo]

Armbars everywhere!

Ahaha. Haha. Hah.

As for Link, I think it's been done to death. I recall seeing a Bard/Ranger/Duskblade build that pretty much had him down to a T.

[Xaroth]

Sure, but it'll be slow going. Also, I'm gonna do the Pathfinder versions first, because I have better access to those resources at the moment.

Really? I looked up Call Lightning (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/callLightning.htm) in the SRD and it said Druid 3, and nothing else. :smallconfused:
Looks like the 3.5 domain doesn't have that spell, but in PF it does.



I thought part of Queen Zeal's whole reason for building the Mammon Machine and the Ocean Palace was to gain immortality (as well as nigh-unlimited power). Which implies that, even if they live for centuries at a stretch, they're still, ultimately, mortal.

Good point; they're extremely long lived rather than immortal, but I still think that makes them something other than human. Note that humans in Chrono Trigger can't use magic at all, except by being specifically blessed by Spekkio; whereas Mystics and Zealians are very magical.

[Angelalex242]

Goku, much like Superman, is 'Salient Divine Abilities.' You're not making him any other way.

I thought the agreed build was some form of Monk/Sorcerer/Wilder with the Ascetic Mage and Tashalatora feats. :smalltongue:

Xaroth, have you reached a verdict on my Quasi-Jensen?

[ArqArturo]

So there's a Jojo's Bizzare Adventures Video Game?

Yes there is (http://youtu.be/3gkBtE849Pg).

[Grey Watcher]

Good point; they're extremely long lived rather than immortal, but I still think that makes them something other than human. Note that humans in Chrono Trigger can't use magic at all, except by being specifically blessed by Spekkio; whereas Mystics and Zealians are very magical.

I'm a little unclear on whether they do actually have abnormally long lifespans. I mean, you can assume that the better living conditions means they live longer than the impoverished Earthbound Ones, but I can't recall or find anything to suggest that they live for more than a century or so (ie what we've come to think of as normal, with the benefit of modern hygiene, medicine, technology, etc.).

Ayla's situation confuses the matter, because Spekkio's dialogue suggests that magic is innate, and he's just bringing it forth, but if that's the case, why does Ayla's birth predating the discovery/invention of magic make any difference?

Anyway, this is getting somewhat off the point, I guess. I'll see what I can whip up once I have some time to sit and think.

Cue (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liHq08Cayp4).
Name: Fantasy!Jensen
Rather than, you know, Adam Jensen. The one from the game.

Basics:
Race: Nimblewright (10 RHD, +6 LA)
For the majority of the game Adam Jensen is no longer human, but a human mind kept alive by a cybernetic body. Just as a Nimblewright is the soul of a water elemental trapped inside a metal body, Fantasy!Jensen is a human who lives on beyond death as a construct.
Nimblewrights offer the following properties:
Construct type, traits and immunities.
Spell Resistance 27
Tipping Thrust: When the nimblewright lands a critical hit, the target is forged to make a DC 19 Reflex save or fall prone as if tripped.
Spell-Like Abilities: At-will: alter self, cat's grace, entropic shield, feather fall and haste. Caster level of 10, saves seem to be charisma-based (DC 14).
Vulnerabilities: Any cold effect slows the nimblewright for 3 rounds, and any fire effect stuns it for 1 round. Tough cookies.
Extra Stuff: Combat Reflexes and Combat Expertise as bonus feats, also gets +7 natural armour.

Ability Scores: 32 Point-Buy

Weapons:
Nimblewrights come pre-packaged with a pair of "rapier-hands," which are stored in their arms when not in use. They can be retrieved or deposited as a free action, deal 2d6 damage and have a critical hit range of 15-20.

At bare minimum, Fantasy!Jensen's rapier-hands possess the Aptitude property. This +1 Enhancement bonus-equivalent ability allows one weapon to count as any other weapon for the purpose of weapon-specific feats. This is your standard crit-fisher affair; Improved Critical doubles his threat range, and then Lightning Maces grants a bonus attack on each critical threat. It's not a perfect build and there's still a chance that he'll run out of attacks, but it was as good as I could manage with a mere four levels to work with.

Critical Threat Calculation:
Base: 15-20 (6 numbers)
Improved Critical: 9-20 (6*2 = 12 numbers)

eeeeexcellent. Did you put the feats for all those RHD in anywhere, though? Obviously you mentioned lightning maces, but I didn't see anything else. Other thoughts I had while pondering this: Battle Jump + Sudden Stunning, to simulate the Icarus landing system. Probably make the arm blades Merciful, in case he just feels like knocking you out.

I'm kinda sad that I can't think of a way to represent the Typhoon, though. I do like how all of the nimblewright's SLAs actually fit rather well with his abilities in game, that was an excellent catch! Now we just need to shift a skill point into craft: clockwork :P


Unfortunately for Jensen, I -did- ask for this.

[Agrippa]

Yes, but so are sorcerers; and nobody in Chrono Trigger throws around crystals and ectoplasm.

Who says you can't reflavor psionics as magic? You don't need to keep the references to crystals and ectoplasm.

[Muggins]

After ages of contemplation, I'm close to finishing Fantasy!Raiden. The closest "I became a construct!" thing I could find was the Dust-Stuffed template, so I'm using that and making it as good as I can. Just replace references to "dust" with "nanomachines" and you'll do fine, I think.

That's a mighty flub up there; the table is outright missing the construct levels. I have no idea where they've gone, so I guess I'll just have to type it up again. Can't be too hard!
Edit: It was missing one of those little (TR) tags. I feel stupid.

Thanks, though! Don't forget Cloak of Deception, Child of Shadow and Move Silently for cloaking. They even come with the cooldown from waiting for your singular energy bar to regenerate! :smallannoyed:

[Xaroth]

Xaroth, have you reached a verdict on my Quasi-Jensen?

If you're referring to the Jensen you posted, I responded to it already.

You said in it:

Rather than, you know, Adam Jensen. The one from the game.


To which I responded:


I'm not sure if you're posting this as the completed character or to aid in creating the completed character, but we're going strictly game characters from the games.

[Muggins]

If you're referring to the Jensen you posted, I responded to it already.
To which I replied:

The name was meant as a nod to the fact that, in 3.5e, there aren't guns. Well, there are guns, but they're hidden away in the expanded rules of the DMG and they're all exotic, highly inefficient weapons. Jensen also doesn't do anything other than shoot people with them, after which point they (usually) die. This is something which everybody can do, and there's not much room for optimisation with that.

So instead of digging out some obscure rules which nobody knows, I went for the arm blades he uses during (bloody) takedowns. Because everybody likes arm blades. :smallwink:

With no feedback yet. My use of the phrase "Fantasy!XXXX (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CharacterizationTags)" is simply a nod to translation difficulties from video game to 3.5e. As Thiyr says, we haven't been able to find a way to duplicate absolutely everything at the same time. Likewise, breaks from the source need to be made for the fact that some things simply don't exist in 3.5e. Case in point: There's no cyborg template, so I've made do with Dust-Stuffed.

[Azoth]

Which rendition of Dante are you aiming to see? It is easier to build him from certain DMC games than others. Replicating his most popular incarnation (DMC3) is nearly impossible without epic levels due to his many combat styles (swordmaster, trickster, gunslinger, ect.).

Epic levels are allowed. Also, my question related to Vergil remains unanswered. Is Vergil a protagonist in DMC3?

Right, my bad. In that case, I'll mark you down as having completed it.

[Azoth]

Virgil is an antagonist in both of his apearances in the DMC franchise. He is a main enemy in DMC as Nero Angelo and in DMC3. He does have a bit of a redemption moment in both games towards their ends, but is still not a hero in either case.

I think the request comes from the special edition release of DMC3 where he is a playable character running through the original story line that Dante does.

Ah, well in that case Vergil will not be added to the list.

I want to try my hand at Kirito, I have a reasonable idea for him, but it will take me a while before I can actually stat him up.

My build stub is Ranger 2/Fighter 2/ Warblade 2/ Exotic Weapon Master 1/Warblade +3/ Eternal Blade 10 (my only gripe is that he has to be an elf in order for it to work, more Warblade can also work, but Eternal Blade has some really nice features)

How Much Raiden Is In My Raiden?
Hitting Really Hard? Yessir.
When wielding a Katana in two hands, Raiden deals 1d10+7 base damage.
Iaijutsu Focus: If Raiden can catch an enemy flat-footed, he'll deal extra damage after drawing a weapon. This is a skill check, buffed up with skill ranks, by skill focus bonuses and by Exemplar levels. He doesn't even need to roll; if he wants to make an Iaijutsu Focus check, he takes 10 for a result of 42. This grants him 7d6+28 bonus damage on each hit.
While not spectacular, it still grants him 4d6+16 extra damage on every attack (as a baseline, without items).
To aid in catching enemies flat-footed, Raiden keeps the Divine Mind's Psychic Aura in Perception mode for an extra +2. Accounting for Improved Initiative and Lightning Blade, he has an Initiative modifier of about +12.
Raiden primarily uses one Katana, forged from adamantine and given the Shadow Striking enchantment (which ignores all Damage Reduction). If he wants to trigger multiple Iaijutsu Focus attacks in one round, he draws another Katana (likely a regular one, since he's not swimming in gold), attacks with it using one hand, then drops it. There's no penalty to doing this so long as he doesn't gain any extra attacks from it.
His maneuvers are geared towards high-damage attacks, with a little bit of movement, healing and durability.
Result: Raiden acts first, cuts up all your junk and then cuts up you too. How considerate of him.

Cutting Things Into Tiny Bits? You betcha.
Divine Mind's Psychic Aura (Destruction) ability halves any hardness during sunder attempts.
The Destruction Mantle's ability grants Improved Sunder while focused, and if you expend your focus while sundering you ignore 4 points of hardness.
Focused Sunder halves any hardness at the cost of psionic focus.
Combat Brute's Sundering Cleave ability gives you an extra attack after a successful sunder attempt.
Iaijutsu Focus can be used with sundering attempts. This doesn't seem to require anything to be flat-footed.
Result: Raiden only has to go through a quarter of an object's hardness while sundering, plus an additional -4. Iaijutsu Focus adds some extra meat to these sundering attacks to ensure that they don't fall flat.

How Robo Is My Robo-Raiden? Dusty.
Dust-Stuffed Nanomachine-Buffed Robo-Raiden gets some new toys. One of them is 3/day Haste with a caster level equal to his hit dice, because everybody loves Haste.
He gets DR 15/Bludgeoning, because nanomachines make you tough.
If he takes 20 points of damage from a slashing or piercing weapon, he releases a cloud of dust which penalises the attacks, saves and skills of adjacent enemies. Neat!
Oh, and he's a Construct (Living Construct) without the vulnerability to Heat Metal and similar nonsense. Comes with immunities and is generally a Good Thing.
Result: I am a cyborg. Beep boop.

Unless I'm mistaken, his second avatar was a "spriggan." You know, one of those not-elves from the not-forest-kingdom. Elf works if you want it to.

Not really, the build I posted only covers him in AEincrad, if I wanted to do him as a Spriggan I would have to fit in some spellcasting.

How Much Raiden Is In My Raiden?
Hitting Really Hard? Yessir.
When wielding a Katana in two hands, Raiden deals 1d10+7 base damage.
Iaijutsu Focus: If Raiden can catch an enemy flat-footed, he'll deal extra damage after drawing a weapon. This is a skill check, buffed up with skill ranks, by skill focus bonuses and by Exemplar levels. He doesn't even need to roll; if he wants to make an Iaijutsu Focus check, he takes 10 for a result of 25. While not spectacular, it still grants him 4d6+16 extra damage on every attack (as a baseline, without items).
To aid in catching enemies flat-footed, Raiden keeps the Divine Mind's Psychic Aura in Perception mode for an extra +2. Accounting for Improved Initiative and Lightning Blade, he has an Initiative modifier of about +12.
Raiden primarily uses one Katana, forged from adamantine and given the Shadow Striking enchantment (which ignores all Damage Reduction). If he wants to trigger multiple Iaijutsu Focus attacks in one round, he draws another Katana (likely a regular one, since he's not swimming in gold), attacks with it using one hand, then drops it. There's no penalty to doing this so long as he doesn't gain any extra attacks from it.
His maneuvers are geared towards high-damage attacks, with a little bit of movement, healing and durability.
Result: Raiden acts first, cuts up all your junk and then cuts up you too. How considerate of him.

Cutting Things Into Tiny Bits? You betcha.
Divine Mind's Psychic Aura (Destruction) ability halves any hardness during sunder attempts.
The Destruction Mantle's ability grants Improved Sunder while focused, and if you expend your focus while sundering you ignore 4 points of hardness.
Focused Sunder halves any hardness at the cost of psionic focus.
Combat Brute's Sundering Cleave ability gives you an extra attack after a successful sunder attempt.
Iaijutsu Focus can be used with sundering attempts. This doesn't seem to require anything to be flat-footed.
Result: Raiden only has to go through a quarter of an object's hardness while sundering, plus an additional -4. Iaijutsu Focus adds some extra meat to these sundering attacks to ensure that they don't fall flat.

How Robo Is My Robo-Raiden? Dusty.
Dust-Stuffed Nanomachine-Buffed Robo-Raiden gets some new toys. One of them is 3/day Haste with a caster level equal to his hit dice, because everybody loves Haste.
He gets DR 15/Bludgeoning, because nanomachines make you tough.
If he takes 20 points of damage from a slashing or piercing weapon, he releases a cloud of dust which penalises the attacks, saves and skills of adjacent enemies. Neat!
Oh, and he's a Construct (Living Construct) without the vulnerability to Heat Metal and similar nonsense. Comes with immunities and is generally a Good Thing.
Result: I am a cyborg. Beep boop.

[A Tad Insane]

I am a complete noob at this, but I guess I'll be productive and try and build the marked ninja. Literally 100% on the game should give me some authority on the topic. Just nobody expect him done any time soon

[Xaroth]

@Xaroth
Vergil was a protagonist in both ps2 DMC3 Special Edition ( he gets his personal. movies) and in ps3/X360 DMC. It seems pretty resonable to me that he get his mention here.

I'll go with his DMC3 version then. As for DMC for the 360/PS3, It'd appear you haven't played the whole game. Unless you're referring to the DLC.

[Xaroth]

Not really, the build I posted only covers him in AEincrad, if I wanted to do him as a Spriggan I would have to fit in some spellcasting.

You could assume he's using his avatar post-Alfheim with Aincrad Kirito's abilities, if you so wish. I think Kirito would just do everything exactly the same anyway. Think you could find some way to replicate the effects of Starburst Stream?

[Renen]

I dont know where to start, but I might try doing KOS-MOS

[Gildedragon]

It might be good to link to the completed characters from the OP, as it will get really hard to find the characters as the thread grows.

[Muggins]

I realised that I forgot to include Raiden's skill ranks in calculation for his Iaijutsu Focus. His result went from 4d6+16 to 7d6+28 per hit.

I'll second the request for some links on the first page. If you wanted to, you could link them to the creator's name so that your colour and formatting doesn't get messed up.

[hoborobot]

How can our dear old friend Deadpool not be in this? since there are no guns in D&D how about dual wielding hand crossbows+dual wielding some sort of swords and some sort regenerative template and finaly he has to be Chaotic Neutral and loaded with bags of holding/handy hover sack cause of his hammer space.

[Muggins]

I thought Deadpool was a Mythic Trickster from Pathfinder? :smallwink:

As for 3.5e classes, I'd recommend at least 3 levels of Hoardstealer (from Draconomicon) for some at-will Bag of Holding creation. Alternatively, take some inspiration from Parifisal the Fool (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showsinglepost.php?p=13633110&postcount=140).

[The Oni]

While you're at it, put me down for Serge from Chrono Cross. Seeing as how it's gettin' no love, unlike it's prequel.

Nah, after thinking it through more warblade levels work a lot better than Eternal Blade ones, the only thing I'd be missing is Island in time which while Awesome isn't really a "must-have"

Starburst stream is the 16 hit sword skill right? That is easilly doable though only at high level (which actually fits, IIRC Kirito was near the level cap for SAO when he used it). 20 BAB gives us 4 attacks, GTWF adds another 3, Dancing Mongoose allows two extra attacks, that is already 9 attacks (with 5 at 18 AB by the way). Now Island in time allows for two consecutive full attacks which include the off-hand attacks, so 7 more attacks. There you go 16 attacks (7 at 18 attack bonus) in a single full round action and we can actually do better if we use Raging Mongoose instead of dancing, that put up to 18 attacks. Other option doable at lower level, though a lot less reliable is using Avalanche of blades, with some luck (and maybe a re-roll or two) it is possible to hit 16 times or more.

[Muggins]

Sounds like you've got it all worked out, Dusk.

I'm trying to work on an adaptation of Ezio, but it's hard being restricted to Epic 6. I can't take any of the [Leader] feats from Heroes of Battle, for example. I think that 1 level in either Divine Mind or Marshal will be practically required, though, if not both.

I might work out an Epic 6 and a full level 20 build, if only for my own comfort.

[Dusk Eclipse]

It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be, now I just have to take some time to actually type the write up, hopefully tomorrow I'll have enough time.

The only thing that bothers me is that Kirito has to have stupidly high Physical stats (18 base at the least) and decent (if not good) mental stats in order to be faithful to the character, which while it doesn't really means much for the thread (I see no restrictions on point buy or whatever) the more I tinker with him the more I actually want to make him into an actual character for a game.

Edit: Any reason particular reason for using E6 for Ezio? While he definitely isn't a high level D&D character I'd reckon he would be higher than 6th, perhaps E8 would be better?

Also Xaroth, can you put my name in the OP's list please?

http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130721044526/swordartonline/images/c/cc/Starburst_Stream.gif

16 is correct, and Kirito was Level 96 when SAO was completed, as was Asuna (goddammit now I want to make Asuna and give them both feats that give them bonded bonuses and ****) but also don't forget at the very end he managed to stay a bit beyond death.

I thought I already had, sorry about that.

The person that requested Ezio requested the 6th level boundary, I'm not sure why but I'm not going to alter someone's request unless they want me to.

[Xaroth]

I'll mark you down as in-progress for him.

[Dusk Eclipse]

The bit beyond death could be represented by being at HP lower than 0 but not falling unconscious; having said that I think I might be able to fit in Die Hard, but I'm not sure, if I can't I can always use some magic items to get feats (like getting a Fanged Ring to nab IUS and INA), but I dislike using those kind of items on principle.

Edit: Thank you very much, and I'd forgot about the specific request of Ezio 6

[Muggins]

Kirito has a decent (12-14) Intelligence score, but that's about it. He's terrible with people, is unperceptive and is not terribly insightful. 10 Wisdom and 8 Charisma would be my call, but you're the one making it. :smallbiggrin:

[Dusk Eclipse]

He has to have high Charisma, otherwise how would he get a Harem in every game he sets foot on?:smallcool:

[Muggins]

Good point.

[Xaroth]

And this is why I love GiantITP.

[Grey Watcher]

So, I just want to clarify some of the boundaries.

We can do Pathfinder versions of the characters instead of D&D 3.5 if we prefer, right?

Can we use 3rd party sources?

Explanation: As a user of a single weapon, namely the swallow (two-blade sword), Kensai Magus fits Serge well because he also uses it as a spear. He later moves into Eldritch Knight for BAB+ and spell benefits, but takes no Arcane Armor feats since Kensai provides the dodge bonus he needs. His spell selection is not ideal but covers most of the simplistic bases of the Chrono Cross elements. Sanctified Spell (a 3rd Party spell) allows him to deal holy damage with arcane spells, reflecting his White Element. Phantasmal Killer represents Hellbound/Hellsoul, which can kill in one hit without damage but often fails. Cavalier and Battle Herald serve to augment his tactical abilities for the Double and Triple Techs.

His own techs can be represented by Bladed Dash (Dash n’ Slash), and the Sanctified Spells mean that Luminaire and Flying Arrow can be represented with the appropriate spell converted to holy damage. Being an Islander, River Fighter lets him charge downstream while swimming while Explorer gives him bonuses in the water. The rules don’t allow for a weapon to exceed a +5 bonus, so it has a +1 bane bonus against five of the enemy types that the Mastermune does extra damage against in the game - the ones with equivalents in Pathfinder.

His Stealth represents his ability to evade enemies on the over world with ease (he also infiltrated Viper Manor). Profession (Sailor) is obvious since he can travel by ship and does this quite a bit. He must be somewhat convincing with his arguments as well, since random strangers have a habit of following him within minutes of meeting, hence his Diplomacy/Bluff/Intimidate

It’s hard to judge Serge’s motivations since he’s a silent protagonist, but he’s probably Neutral Good, since he doesn’t represent any ideology beyond “save my friends and/or the world and OH MY GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY LIFE,” but is clearly willing to risk his neck for pretty, bratty, mildly abusive strangers (I.E. Kid). Also, he’s White element - the other White-innate characters are either explicitly divinely-empowered (Steena), a healer-type (Doc + Riddel), or an innocent child (Starky), so White puts him in good company.

Charging allows him to simulate some of his techs and capitalize on his long-hafted weapon. There was no way to give Serge a near 100% critical (because the Mastermune does that), but the Kensai + Improved Critical means he’s got a 20% chance to crit-threat on each attack (17-20 range), and five attacks a round (if greater two-weapon fighting); even more fun since he gets to cast a spell as a swift action when he crits.

So, I just want to clarify some of the boundaries.

We can do Pathfinder versions of the characters instead of D&D 3.5 if we prefer, right?

Can we use 3rd party sources?

By 3rd party sources, you mean...?

D&D 3.5 is highly, HIGHLY preferred, but if it's too difficult to create using D&D 3.5 or if you don't have access to the necessary resources, Pathfinder is allowed.

Homebrew is just straight-up no.

[Xaroth]

Sorry, I forgot to list the game. I just mostly know them as the comic book characters:
Ares (Injustice: Gods Among Us)
Spawn (Soulcalibur 2)

I'll add Ares, but I put Spawn down as Spawn: Armageddon. Would you like me to change it to Soulcalibur 2? If he's merely a playable character in versus mode I wouldn't consider Spawn a protagonist.

[Kazudo]

There really aren't many protagonists in Soul Calibur 2, what with Siegfried not being a playable character but rather a reskin of Nightmare.

http://media.edge-online.com/wp-content/uploads/edgeonline/2013/07/Phoenix-Wright.jpg

Phoenix Wright (Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies) has been added to the list. And I'm sorry but there's just no way he isn't a Fire-Souled Human. Build should be oriented around the Mental stats, particularly charisma. Not specifications, just advice. I do have a Phoenix Wright build but it's inaccurate class-wise and I did a thing with items that technically can exist but aren't officially listed. Basically I made it purely for the purpose of high Charisma, if anybody wants the inaccurate build for a slight guideline I'll provide it.

http://latino963.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Godzilla-2014-.jpg

Godzilla (Godzilla: Unleashed) has been added to the list. To be honest Godzilla's probably been done a million different ways but I'm looking for a definitive build.

[Kazudo]

Phoenix Wright is obviously a Diplomancer in a world of Diplomancers. The legal system in that game is just a huge World of Ham.

So an urban Diplomancer build designed with Gather Information and Diplomacy as its keys.

I'm sorry, I really am, but there are just so many things I need to get online before thinking to add in Leadership. I'll tell you what I'll do a combat effective Kirito which won't have the Harem and a less effective one, with a little more cheese,,but that includes the Harem... or at least I'll try to do it.

[Kazudo]

If you ever need ammo to point at for why Leadership shouldn't be allowed without HEAVY houseruling and DM Fiat down...Look at the Bosses post and look at my Bowser. I included the math on a Leadershippy/Thrallherdy army.

[Dusk Eclipse]

Kirito having Leadership is mostly a joke, since Kirito as every shonen protagonist gets a horde of cute girls following him. To be completely honest I think it is (as usual) an exaggeration of the Fandom, granted I've only watched the anime which only covers the first two light novels, so it could be possible he does get a Harem later on.

[Sir Chuckles]

You know, I was thinking about this on my way home from work. It seemed like a likely request, and now that you've mentioned I guess that means someone will have to do it.

Engineer: Give him levels of Trapsmith (Dungeonscape) and focus on Spell Turrets (Dungeon Master's Guide 2). Maybe a simple Artificer 15/Trapsmith 5 would work.
Spy: A Changeling Rogue. I don't see this as being terribly difficult to pull off.
Medic: Herr doktor cleric. Add a dash of Combat Medic and War Weaver.
Scout: Your usual Swift Hunter, albeit with a dash of Jack B. Quick.
Sniper: What's the longest range you can get Death Attack at using a ranged weapon? A Ranger 6/Assassin 10/Cragtop Archer 4 sounds solid, as long as you can build up that spot check.

For the Spy, drawing from Pathfinder, the Master Spy fits pretty darn well, including giving him Death Attack.

[Xaroth]

Phoenix Wright is obviously a Diplomancer in a world of Diplomancers. The legal system in that game is just a huge World of Ham.

So an urban Diplomancer build designed with Gather Information and Diplomacy as its keys.

The only Diplomancer build I've found is the Politico (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Politico_(3.5e_Optimized_Character_Build)) build, and that requires a Half-Elf. As I said, Phoenix is a Human, probably with the Fire-Souled template for dat CHA bonus. And you have to admit that he's got a very fiery soul in the courtroom.

[Xaroth]

I've been curious for a while: What do the terms "Cheese" and "Ham" mean on this website?

[Threadnaught]

I apologise if you experience some form of physical discomfort if somebody else's character has more levels than you'd like, but I am trying to go for level 20 builds for everyone and everything.

It's not really physical, so much as it's that nagging feeling that something isn't quite right. My personal feelings on how Ezio "should" turn out aren't important enough to impose a limit of 6 levels to every build, just as long as there's a 6 level build.


As for your comment about human: So, no Silverbrow? I was using the 2/day Feather Fall SLA to mimic his leaps of faith, and I can't think of any other way to fit them into the build.

While there is a certain level of embezzlement to the leap of faith and everything else Altair, Ezio, Connor and thingy do, I think 2/day Feather Fall is a good idea. Rome Colosseum is about 160' up for leap of faith, that's one heck of a Tumble check.


I'll add Ares, but I put Spawn down as Spawn: Armageddon. Would you like me to change it to Soulcalibur 2? If he's merely a playable character in versus mode I wouldn't consider Spawn a protagonist.

Every playable character in Soul Caliber 2 has their own little story in Arcade Mode, including Heihachi/Link/Spawn. Though some are villains, or in Spawn's case, working for one.

There's also Weapon Master Mode, which makes every single one of the playable characters into the unnamed hero of the story. Some are made into enemies.
Yoshimitsu, Charade, Sophitia, Cervantes and Seung Mina are all unlocked after encountering and defeating them in Weapon Master. So are Lizard Man and Berserker as bonus Versus mode characters, except for them you do have to complete a special hidden mission in a bonus chapter.

Edit: To answer this.


I've been curious for a while: What do the terms "Cheese" and "Ham" mean on this website?

Ham is a form of acting that is loud and boisterous.

Cheese is something that is, abusable or overpowered. Albus for example, in the game he's from he is very cheesy, being able to teleport at will. Of course Shanoa with Death Ring, Nitesco Sword and Dominus Agony is also rather cheesy, can break just about any boss in a single swing, two if they have massive HP.

[Sir Chuckles]

I've been curious for a while: What do the terms "Cheese" and "Ham" mean on this website?

They're universal terms, not just on this forum.

Cheesy, ham, corny. All closely related.
Tacky, cheap, tawdry, silly...

World of Ham... yeah the Phoenix Wright legal system is a good example of Ham.

And since nobody's called it, put me down for Mario, too

And since nobody's called it, put me down for Mario, too

Alrighty, doing so now.

[Kazudo]

Diplomancy builds are easy to get cobbled together. Phoenix Wright would have Sense Motive as his Diplomancy ability, I'm fairly sure.

Max ranks in the skill over a 15th level build gives us a beginning +18
A high Wisdom (Call it 18 for fun) Tacks on +4 bringing us to 22
The Suspicious Trait gives us a +1 bringing us to 23

Now then, over a 15 level build with two flaws (which really don't matter specifically), you'd get 8 feats.
The Negotiator Feat gives us a +2 for a 25
Skill Focus (Sense Motive) gives us a +3 for a 28
Apprentice (Philosopher) Gives us a +2 for a 30
Nobody's Fool Gives us a +2 for a 32
Street Smart (refluffed to get it out of Faerun) gives us a +2 for a 34.
Nymph's Kiss gives us an extra skill point per level, as does being human
Open Minded gives us an immediate extra 5 skill points. These are important for:
Item Familiar (ITEM FAMILIAR) gives us a +18 (caps out at number of ranks, I'm afraid) for a 50.
Cunning Knowledge gives us a +10 for a 60
Skill Artistry gives us a +4 for a 64
And Skill Mastery lets us take 10. For a 74 total without rolling.
If we roll in SOME KIND OF MASTERWORK TOOL, that gives us a 76
If we give ourselves a +4 to Wisdom, that's a 78
And maybe a +12 custom magical item. That's a 90 without even touching a dice.

We can use Sense Motive (using a HUGE stretch of the Persuasive Performance Class feature) as a Diplomacy check at the same time as Sense Motive. If we do that, barring circumstance bonuses, your average bystander who is completely indifferent to us will become our fanatical follower. Hostile folk will become Helpful on a 50, etc.

This would be VERY important to an attorney, being able to tell when someone's lying to you AND get them to help your cause, no?

This is just a thing though. I'm sure there's better/more important out there.

[The Oni]

Clearly, his masterwork tool would be his sweet-ass tie.

[Xaroth]

Clearly, his masterwork tool would be his sweet-ass tie.

I'd say his entire suit is masterwork, but that's just me.

[Gildedragon]

I'd say his entire suit is masterwork, but that's just me.

There is Clebdacher (something like that) clothes from Sharn City of Towers that grant a sizeable bonus to diploing and social status checks.

[Muggins]

Sorry to interrupt, but does anybody have some feat ideas for Ezio? I can't decide what to put in the ones that I have left.


Hot damn, man. You're getting all the requests done. Should I mark this as complete or would you like me to wait?
You can add it if you want. I'll still be doing the level 20 version unless a request sparks my interest.

Maybe it's about time that I visited the Video Game Antagonists thread. :smallsigh:

[Threadnaught]

Sorry to interrupt, but does anybody have some feat ideas for Ezio? I can't decide what to put in the ones that I have left.

Combat Reflexes, Leadership, Point Blank Shot, Run, Endurance, Improved Unarmed Strike, Improved Disarm, Improved Grapple and Great Cleave.

[AslanCross]

I should hang out on these boards again. I'm totally in this.

Touhou Project
For those unfamiliar with the franchise, the TVTropes page is quite informative. Tl;dr, it's a shoot-em-up game featuring magical girls instead of spaceships. In-universe, they're all ridiculously overpowered and only end up not killing each other due to the non-lethal magic system that keeps their pocket dimension, Gensokyo, in balance.
-Reimu Hakurei; Shrine Maiden of Paradise. Supposed to keep everything in balance. Fights by throwing arcane talismans.
-Marisa Kirisame; An Ordinary Magician. Brilliant, kleptomaniacal, and fancies gigantic explosions and lasers.
-Sakuya Izayoi; Maid to one of the bosses of the series who later becomes a selectable protagonist. Fights with thrown daggers and has time-based powers.
-Youmu Konpaku; Half-ghost human samurai.

[Muggins]

Combat Reflexes, Leadership, Point Blank Shot, Run, Endurance, Improved Unarmed Strike, Improved Disarm, Improved Grapple and Great Cleave.
Naturally, the feats you've requested either don't mesh with his current build or are terrible in general. Really? Run? :smallconfused:

[LentilNinja]

I'll add Ares, but I put Spawn down as Spawn: Armageddon. Would you like me to change it to Soulcalibur 2? If he's merely a playable character in versus mode I wouldn't consider Spawn a protagonist.

I think out of all the games, the SC2 Spawn is the one that does the comic book Spawn the most justice. So, I feel it'd be more fitting to make the SC2 Spawn.

[Threadnaught]

Naturally, the feats you've requested either don't mesh with his current build or are terrible in general. Really? Run? :smallconfused:

Not requested, suggested.

I pretty much just scanned the srd for Feats that match Ezio in the game. Eexcept Run, I think that may be more of the Agiles' shtick.

Right, suggested. Pardon the poor choice of words.

Maybe I can shift around his ability scores a bit.

[Shadowscale]

Little Mac (Mike Tyson's Punch Out!)
Donkey Kong (Donkey Kong 64)
Conker (Conker: Live and Reloaded)
Someone totes do these?

[illyahr]

There really aren't many protagonists in Soul Calibur 2, what with Siegfried not being a playable character but rather a reskin of Nightmare.

No, Nightmare is a reskin of Siegfried. Nightmare appeared in Soul Calibur, Siegfried first appeared in Soul Edge/Soul Blade, which was the first game. Soul Calibur 1 is the second game.

[Ionbound]

I think Dr. Gordon Freeman needs a sheet.

[malonkey1]

Alright, I think I'd like to do Corvo Attano (Dishonored). Probably gonna use Warlock as the base.

Sounds good, even if I don't remember Corvo having pewpew laser blasts. I probably would've gone for Binder instead, what with the Outsider being an otherworldly occult-driven entity akin to a Vestige. Ooh, you could even make a custom vestige (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dd/20060324a)!

I might do Daud, just for funsies. He was playable in the DLC! :smallamused:

Uses a hand crossbow (main hand) and a short sword (off hand) for TWF. For sneak attacks, he uses Death Attack + Hideous Blow to make for a lethal and difficult-to resist strike than is deadly even if Death Attack fails He takes full advantage of the Invocations granted to him by the Outsider, as well as his martial training and skills as an Avenger (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/prc/20070401a).

Death Attack + Eldritch Blast + Hideous Blow (from Rod of Eldritch Power) -> ShadowKill

Other spells, maneuvers and stances I chose don't directly emulate Corvo's abilities but seem thematically appropriate.

I would have suggested Skull Kid/Majora in the Bosses thread, but I think Majora kind of toes the line with Elder Evil terminology there and you can't really accurately stat an Elder Evil.

Not the elder evils themselves, but how about their avatars?

After all, Majora's Mask implies that it belongs to someone called 'Majora'. This 'Majora' is never explicitly shown in the game. It may be the fierce deity, it may be the moon (at least the name would make sense), or it just is an entity never shown.

I'd say that one could reasonably create stats for Majora's Mask. And Skull kid's obviously going to be easy.
Undead bard with obtain familiar or something like that.

Meanwhile, Ezio was being stubborn and the original build has been scrapped entirely. Now he's got Guild Thief instead of Legendary Commander, and he's suddenly a Master of Nine. Who'd a thunk it?

Now, Skull Kid would arguably be the avatar of Majora wearing his mask which would obviously be a cursed artifact. Or just an artifact. Sometimes "cursed" is a point of view.

Really? I always thought that the end boss is still just the mask, just using its powers to assume a form better fit for battle.

And if you consider the manga canon, it depicts a being called 'Majora' there.

But the mask'd have to be pretty powerful by itself already. Dominating skull kid is obviously a Dominate Person, the transformation seems like Alter Self to me and the rapid dancing can be Expeditious Retreat.

An alternative point of view on that is that Majora polymorphed itself into the mask. In fact, the canon method of defeating Majora is to use the Fierce Deity Mask and essentially become what's referred to as pretty much another angry ancient god to slay him.

You COULD do it the hard way. But it's also not said anywhere that destroying the creature in the mask or the mask itself even does it. So with that in mind, then I could see the version fought in the boss fight as an Elder Evil in the same way that Father Llymic (sp?) is an Elder Evil and Leviathan is an Elder Evil. You fight it directly, but you only really succeed in putting it away for a while.

Emphasis mine.

It is said by the Happy Mask Salesman that 'the evil is gone from the mask'. Word for word, all in-game.
So if your theory is right, that'd only prove that Majora's Mask is, in fact, not the Elder Evil itself.

[Kazudo]

Ok. This apparently got really serious for you, and this whole exercise is understood to be under builder's interpretation. I'm building Ganondorf as an undead for Boccob's sake.

So yeah, I agree that it could be done either way. And there are Elder Evils with stats.

[Inevitability]

Very true :smallwink:.

Ugh, I'm stuck on link. I really want him to have a Coure Eladrin companion, but how do I accomplish this without giving him a bunch of levels in an arcane class?

Alternatively, which arcane class would be possible for link to possess?

Though if you consider that Majora's Mask is a sequel (in some form or fashion) to Ocarina of Time, he COULD be a Duskblade.

I'm thinking probably a Dread Necromancer (Focusing on Negative Energy Damage) / Warblade Gish. Maybe a wondrous item that is a scythe that can split into 2 kamas, but that would have to be fiated. The wrath abilities may be a little difficult, but I'll probably use the Necromancer branch. And I'm probably going to focus on the Tiger Claw Discipline.

Let's see:
Fearless
Ridonkulously tough
Able to inexplicably find his way home, even after his mission has catastrophically failed and left him millions of miles away from home
Quite probably a technical wizard.

I'm thinking...Artificer levels?

[Tibbaerrohwen]

I didn't see these on the list yet, but what about SMT Protagonists. They are often left without names, but they're damned fun to play.

I'm looking specifically at:

SMT: Nocturne (Silent Protagonist)

SMT: Persona 3 (Silent Protagonist)

SMT: Persona 4 (Silent Protagonist)

Persona 3 FES (Aegis)

For the Personas, Binder would probably work. Not sure about Nocturne. Maybe, Conjurer?

Nocturne is referred to as the "Demi-Fiend", the p3 protagonist's name is usually "Minato Arisato", and as of P4 Arena, thr protagonist from p4 is referred you as "Yu Narukame".

If it helps the building any.

Explanation:

Ghostwise Halfling is a nod to the fact that Link never speaks. It's just something I thought would be funny.

I built link as fighter for his combat skills, bard for the ocarina music (and healing hymn is basically the song of healing), horizon walker for the long distances he travels, and occult slayer because they get to reflect spells back at the caster and to reflect Link's training for his battle with Ganondorf.

His spells are mainly for aiding and befriending others, something that has to reflect the songs that accomplish this across the game. Improvisation reflects the high amount of luck Link sometimes has.

I know Link's alignment should probably be NG, but this was the only way of shoving in a fairy companion. And some of Link's deeds are straight-out unlawful, especially those of his younger self. (Sneaking into palaces comes to mind)

Link travels with two companions. Tatl, a fairy, and Epona, his horse. Stats for these will be provided later on in this post.

Spell-Like Abilities: At will—dancing lights, detect evil, detect magic, faerie fire; 3/day—magic missile, sleep (DC 13). Caster level 4th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.

Alternate Form (Su): A coure can assume the form of an incorporeal ball of light at will. This transformation counts as a standard action. In this form, the coure can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, +1 or better magic weapons, spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities. In this form, the coure has a 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source, except for force effects or attacks made with ghost touch weapons. A coure in this form can pass through solid objects, but not force effects, at will. While incorporeal, its attacks ignore natural armor, armor, and shields, but deflection bonuses and force effects work normally against them. In this form, a coure always moves silently and cannot be heard with Listen checks if it doesn't wish to be. While incorporeal, the coure sheds light if it wishes, providing illumination with any radius it wishes up to 30 feet. Changing the amount of light it sheds is a free action that the coure can perform once per round.

Magic Circle against Evil (Su): A magic circle against evil effect always surrounds the coure, as the magic circle against evil spell cast by an 8th-level sorcerer. (The defensive benefits of the circle are not included in the statistics above.)

Skills: Coures have a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks (included in the statistics above).

OK, I think I'm gonna have to withdraw from writing up the cast of Chrono Trigger. I've been busier than expected lately, so I don't really think I'll have the time to do it for a while yet. If that changes, I may drop back in, but in the meantime, if anyone else wants to take up the mantle, I'll gladly defer.

[The Oni]

On a similar note, I'm releasing Mario due to RL obligations, and by all means, anyone else is welcome to stat him.

How about a few more Protagonists?

Sonic (Any Sonic Game)
Megaman (any game but I think Net Warrior might be best suited)
Warmage (Orcs must Die)
Corvo (Dishonored)
Starkiller (The Force: Unleashed)

I personally would love to see Asura as a dnd character. I almost gave Deus a try in a campaign I'm in, but I couldn't really make him work to my liking

Why is Julius Belmont on the list? He was not a "video game protagonist", even in Aria/Dawn of Sorrow. He was an NPC/mini-boss fight.

Now, just about any other Belmont (Simon, Trevor, Christopher, Soleiyu, Richter, Juste, or Leon) would be appropriate. Although of those, I think Richter, Simon and Trevor are the most interestng and awesome, because they actually defeated Dracula. And they're total bad***es.

Julius Mode. More importantly, Julius Mode of Dawn has the bad ending as canon.

Also, Julius ended the resurrection cycle permanently by sealing Castlevania into a solar eclipse. Keyword here is resurrection, not reincarnation.

I think the important Belmonts would have to be Leon, Simon, Trevor, and Julius. Leon founded the bloodline, Simon defeated Dracula twice, Trevor was the first to actually kill Dracula, and Julius was the one who ended Dracula's cycle of resurrection.

Combat Style
In the anime Kirito is shown to be an extremely strong and fast combatant, using his speed and reflexes to position himself in the most advantageous position before striking with as much for as possible, this build tries to emulate that as closely as possible within the boundaries of DnD.

What are Dragonsplits?
Dragonsplits are an Exotic weapon found in MIV, the reason they are used in this particular build is that despite being classified as a one-handed weapon, they are considered as light weapon for the purposes of Two-weapon fighting and Weapon finesse. They can be used as slashing weapons with a x3 crit modifier or as piercing weapons in which case they have a 19-20 x2 crit modifier, in both cases they deal 1d6 damage for medium wielders.

Why Exotic Weapon Master?
Exotic Weapon Master is a prestige class found in Complete Warrior, which as it's name indicates is focused on learning to use exotic weapon in manners other warriors can't. What we are after in this class is the exotic weapon stunt: Uncanny Blow which allows us to treat a one-handed weapon as a two-handed weapon for the purposes of Power Attack; which means having a 1:2 ratio. That means that Kirito will have a damage output similar to a two-handed warrior as a two-weapon fighter (who usually need an extra source of bonus damage like sneak attack to keep up).

Why Warblade?
Apart from having an incredible chassis, Warblades give us access to manauvers which are in my opinion the best way to model Sword skills from SAO.

Why Ranger/Fighter?
To be blunt, I needed a source of extra feats. Hit and Run Fighter doesn't really cost us anything and it gives a nice initiative bonus while also allowing us to get a little extra from our dexterity bonus; some DM's might argue that it is only available to drow fighters, if that is the case in your table you can safetly ignore them as it isn't a must have.

What does (DCS) means?
DCS is a shorthand for Dark Chaos Shuffle, for those who don't know it is a combo of the spells Embrace the Dark Chaos and Shun the Dark Chaos (both found in Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss), what they do is trade a normal feat for an [Abyssal Heritor] feat (EtDC) and then use StDC to trade the [Abyssal Heritor] feat for any other feat you qualify for. While Kirito isn't able to cast the spell himself by the level mentioned in the table he should be able to afford to pay a spellcaster to do it for him (as per the SRD (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/goodsAndServices.htm#spell) it should cost 4900 GP per feat exchange). While this particular build does assume you will be able to do this, it doesn't suffer much if your DM doesn't allow the DCS, but be aware one the main combos needs those particular feats to work.

What does (I) means?
The feat marked as (I) are ones that need a specific magic item to grant them, while normally I'd avoid using items to qualify for stuff, this build is so feat starved that I needed to do so in order to get everything. The Magic items in questions are Mobility armour enhancement (+1 equivalent, MIC) and Bracers of Striking (MoF). I put them at level 6 because I believe it is a level when you can afford them comfortably.

What does (F) means?
Feats marked (F) are the ones gained through the use of flaws (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/buildingCharacters/characterFlaws.htm), this build doesn't specify which ones, but personally I would go for Frail (-1 HP/Level) and Vulnerable (-1 AC) as they are the ones with a noticeable yet small impact at all points of the game.




Dual Blade Style (Uncanny Blow+Dragonsplits)
As mentioned before thanks to Uncanny Blow you can treat your Dragonsplits as two handed weapons while one-handing them. So you get 1:2 power attacks returns. Do note that you still have the TWF penalties so don't dump all of your Attack bonus on Power attack, all the damage in the world doesn't mean anything if you can't hit your enemy.

Storm's Gambit (Stormguard Warrior+Robilar's Gambit)
Robilar's Gambit allows you to enter a special "stance" in which your enemies provoke an attack of opportunity when they attack you in melee (with a +4 bonus to attack/damage). Stormguard Warrior has a special option in which if you refrain from taking an AoO you instead gain a +4 attack/damage bonus against the enemy which you refrained from attacking. Combining the two feats every time your opponent attacks you, you get a bonus to attack and damage vs. them. This is a double bonus since you get both an attack bonus (to fuel power attack) and a damage bonus. For example by refraining to attack an enemy that provokes you get +12 damage per hit the next round (4 from Channeling the Storm +8 from dumping the +4 attack bonus into power attack). Sure it doesn't looks like a lot, but as a two-weapon fighter you have tons of attacks and that bonus applies to each an everyone of them.

Twin Storms (Stormguard Warrior+ Robilar's Gambit + Improved Combat Reflexes+Double Hit)
This combo elaborates on Storm's Gambit and makes it so much deadlier. Improved Combat Reflexes is a feat from Dragon #340 which allows you to make two consecutive attacks of opportunity on a single provocation (the second at a -5 penalty). Double Hit allows you to attack with two weapons on a single attack of opportunity. These two alone get you four attacks when someone provokes you (two at -2 and two at -7), but if you combine with Channel the storm you attack an enemy twice and still get a +4 attack/damage bonus next turn, or you can refrain from attacking and get a +8 attack/damage bonus (+24 damage if you feed the attack bonus into Power Attack) because yes, the bonus from Channel the Storm explicitly stacks with itself.

Avalanche's song (Avalanche of Blades+Stormguard Warrior)
This is a fairly well known trick for anyone familiar with ToB, but I'm including it for completeness sake. Avalanche of blades is a level 8 maneuver that allows you to continue attacking an enemy until you miss (with a cumulative -4 penalty for each attack). Combat Rhythm is an option from Stormguard warrior which let's you substitute your melee attacks for touch attacks that deal no damage, but on your next turn you gain a +5 damage bonus on your next attack(s) for each touch attack you did the last round. So use AoB on round 1 and land say 4 touch attacks, next round all your attacks (including off-hand ones) get a +20 damage bonus!

Starburst Stream (Time Stands Still + Raging Mongoose)
Starburst Stream is a 16 hit sword skill from SAO, for most melee character you can only have up to 8 attacks in a single full round attack (with the full TWF line and a Haste effect, but Kirito is able to get at least 16 attacks every other round without touching magic items or spells. The full two weapon fighting line grants us 7 attacks (4 main-hand and 3 with the off-hand), Raging mongoose (TC 8) gives 2 extra attacks for each weapon we hold, bringing us to 9 attack per full attack. Time Stand Still is the capstone manouver from the Diamond Mind discipline and it allows you to do two consecutive full attacks in one round, so another 7 attacks for a total of 16 attacks.

Floating Castle's Requiem (Time Stand Still + Raging Mongoose+Stormguard Warrior)
This a very simple and devastating combo, Initiate Time Stand still alongside Raging Mongoose and use the Combat Rythm option from Stormguard warrior to make melee touch attacks on the first full attack, that gives you at least +45 damage on each of your 7 attacks.





Elusive Target
The main draw from this feat is the option to simply negate power attack damage bonus to your enemies (which at higher levels will usually be a lot bigger than you). Negate Power attack does what it says in the tin, any enemy you designate with your dodge feat looses any benefit they'd would have gained from Power attack against you, but they still take the attack penalty.

The Second option Diverting defence is also pretty nasty (for your enemies that is), if you find yourself flanked by an enemy you can make your designated dodge target automatically miss you (and it has a chance to hit his flanking companion), but the real nasty part is that you can combine it with Robilar's Gambit to start the Storm's Gambit combo at 0 risk to yourself.

Cause Overreach is another way to start Storm's Gambit reach with almost 0 risk. When you provoke an AoO by moving out of a threatened square and your enemy misses (hint, if you are flanked you can use diverting defence to make him miss) you can make a free trip attempt that can't be countered if you fail.

Snake's Style (Mobility+Robilar's Gambit)
Mobility is usually considered a really weak feat because in order for it to work you need to provoke and it is almost trivial to avoid provoking attacks of opportunity (Tumble check with DC 15), but what if you actually want to provoke them? Then that +4 AC looks very tasty isn't it? Why would you want to provoke you ask? Two words, Robilar's Gambit, when you use it you give your enemy +4 attack/damage. So if you intentionally provoke an attack of opportunity while having RG active you essentially negate the attack bonus making Storm's Gambit a lot safer to initiate and if you are flanked you can combine this with Diverting Defence.




The skill selection was based on Kirito's endgame skills as per the SAO wiki (http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/Kirito#Dual_Blades_Sword_Skills), nothing really out of the ordinary, except the single rank in K: Arcana, which is grabbed to avoid wasting skill points.

We pick the Bracer's of striking to get Improved Unarmed Strike in order to emulate his Martial Art skill set (Maneuvers and power attack help with dealing relevant damage), if you don't have access to it or don't want to buy them, simple spiked gauntlets do the trick.

OK, remember when I said I couldn't do the characters I'd committed to? Apparently that was a load of THAC0, because here's a Pathfinder version of Magus (as far as I can tell, all the resources I used are Paizo)

EDIT 2: I went back and reworked Magus a bit after all. Bought the rest of his gear, and tweaked his stats (he's now a 15 point buy character, which is standard for Pathfinder)

Other notes
15 point point buy, which is standard for Pathfinder, plus the Enhancement bonuses from gear, which, in Pathfinder, become permanent once the gear is worn for at least 24 hours. Original scores before racial modifer: Str 15 Dex 7 Con 7 Int 14 Wis 7 Cha 18, human +2 goes to Charisma
I tripled up on the bloodlines because I feel like the powers selected, as well as the fluff associated with each bloodline, fit Magus very well. That said, it delays some important spells until epic levels. An alternate build would make him a straight Arcane Blooded Sorcerer, with the Eldritch Heritage (Imperious) feats. His spell list would have to be reworked to get the shadow spells.
I made use of Traits and Drawbacks to improve things a bit. Magical Knack keeps his caster level equal to his HD, so while he's behind a pure Sorcerer in terms of spells per day and spells known and he's quite a long ways behind in terms of class features, his effective caster level keeps pace. Killer boosts his melee abilities a little and synergizes nicely with the scythe's big crit multiplier, and Battlefield Caster is good for a caster he's going to be in melee. Loner is a very fitting drawback, and I'd probably take it even if I didn't want to buy a third trait.

EDIT 3: I took out Blacklight and put in Communal Resist Energy to simulate his Barrier Change move from his boss battle.

Other notes
The ability score array is just some numbers I made up that look good. Charisma is maxed out since, short of Queen Zeal and possibly Schala, Magus is supposed to be the most powerful mage you meet.

Magical Knack keeps his caster level equal to his HD, so while he's behind a pure Sorcerer in terms of spells per day and spells known and he's quite a long ways behind in terms of class features, his effective caster level keeps pace. Lone and Arcane Student were put in mostly for flavor.

EDIT: Just stumbled on the "Battlefield Caster" trait, which would've been better than Arcane Student for something to pick up via the drawback, since it helps boost his ability to cast in melee. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20

Next up: Frog, because the Grippli race and the Sacred Servant Paladin Archetype are almost tailor made for him.

PS: I apologize for doing Pathfinder instead of 3.5. I don't own a lot of 3.5 books, so it's harder for me to do.

[Kazudo]

Apparently that was a load of THAC0,

I laughed so hard at this. It's getting used at my veteran gamers table from now on.

[Xaroth]

Sorry about being so neglecting of this lately, I've got exams and I've recently started my own campaign which I'll need to create an entire planet for along with a law system which should be incredibly interesting. I'll add whichever ones I see onto the list after I've checked the Bosses thread.

[Xaroth]

I didn't see these on the list yet, but what about SMT Protagonists. They are often left without names, but they're damned fun to play.

I'm looking specifically at:

SMT: Nocturne (Silent Protagonist)

SMT: Persona 3 (Silent Protagonist)

SMT: Persona 4 (Silent Protagonist)

Persona 3 FES (Aegis)

For the Personas, Binder would probably work. Not sure about Nocturne. Maybe, Conjurer?

Sorry, I think that you've listed them incorrectly, and I'm also not familiar with what SMT is.

[Xaroth]

Huh, that actually looks pretty good from here. That's quite a bit different from my current Daud build, which looks something like this..
Classes: Binder 5/Swordsage 1/Crusader 2/Knight of the Sacred Seal (Paimon) 5/Suel Arcanamach 1/Arcane Duelist 4/Blade Dancer 2

BAB: +14/+9/+4

Feats:
1: Iron Will
1: Power Attack [Human Bonus]
3: Weapon Finesse
4: Expel Vestige
6: Dodge
6: Weapon Focus (Diamond Mind) [Swordsage Bonus]
9: Mobility
12: Combat Casting
15: Shadow Blade
18: Spring Attack

[B]Fancy Stuff:
> Charisma to AC.
> Charisma to Reflex.
> Dexterity To-Hit (rather than Strength).
> Dexterity to Damage.
> 60ft movement speed, attack at any point during movement.
> Free attack damage (Power attack for -14, +28. Dextrous attack for +14, -14. Total: +0 attack modifier, +14 damage modifier).
> Free +2 enhancement on one weapon, plus temporary defending/flaming/frost/shock/ghost touch properties.
> Coincidentally, he's a really good dancer.

Meanwhile, Ezio was being stubborn and the original build has been scrapped entirely. Now he's got Guild Thief instead of Legendary Commander, and he's suddenly a Master of Nine. Who'd a thunk it?

I'll introduce Daud to the list and mark you as in progress for him.

[Xaroth]

Yeah, I was going to mostly ignore the eldritch blast, use it for the invocations. And possibly refluff Eldritch Blast + Hideous Blow for Shadow Kill.

Uses a hand crossbow (main hand) and a short sword (off hand) for TWF. For sneak attacks, he uses Death Attack + Hideous Blow to make for a lethal and difficult-to resist strike than is deadly even if Death Attack fails He takes full advantage of the Invocations granted to him by the Outsider, as well as his martial training and skills as an Avenger (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/prc/20070401a). I'll hash out the skills later.

Summon Swarm, Call of the Beast -> Devouring Swarm
Feather Fall, Spider Climb, Leaps and Bounds & Flee the Scene -> Corvo's various movement abilities
Mask of Flesh -> The closest I could get for Possession
Death Attack + Eldritch Blast + Hideous Blow (from Rod of Eldritch Power) -> ShadowKill
Eldritch Blast -> Object-destroying effect of Windblast
Devil's Sight -> Dark Vision
Child of Shadow stance -> Stealth.
Other spells, maneuvers and stances I chose don't directly emulate Corvo's abilities but seem thematically appropriate.

You said yourself that this is a rough build, does that mean you're going to expand on it or is this all that you're capable of doing at the moment? I'll mark it down as in work until you say otherwise.

[Xaroth]

I'll try to tackle Death from Darksiders II.
http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11114/111142812/3627078-darksiders_2___death__s_reaper_form_by_lopez_the_h eavy-d507f6z.jpg
I'm thinking probably a Dread Necromancer (Focusing on Negative Energy Damage) / Warblade Gish. Maybe a wondrous item that is a scythe that can split into 2 kamas, but that would have to be fiated. The wrath abilities may be a little difficult, but I'll probably use the Necromancer branch. And I'm probably going to focus on the Tiger Claw Discipline.

Don't forget that's his reaper form, not his most common form (at least in the game he's more commonly seen as below)

http://rewalls.com/large/201202/59731.jpg

[Xaroth]

All have been added, if I've missed any please let me know and I'll add them.

[Muggins]

Ezio is ready. It took me ages, sure, but I'm quite pleased with the result. Maybe I just like the challenge of maxing out five skills at once.

Weaponry: Stabby Stabby
First off, we'll be using the Warblade's Aptitude Focus to exchange Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Hand Crossbow) for Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Gnome Quickrazor). It makes a good substitute for the hidden blade. We'll then exchange one of the Swordsage's Weapon Focuses for Weapon Focus (Gnome Quickrazor), giving us a handy +1 attack bonus for no real cost.

Combat: Counter My Blows!
Ezio has two main forms of attack: one is the dead-before-you-knew-better surprise attack, while the other is a counter-based combat system. The Stalker in the Night and Cloak of Deception maneuvers grant him the first style's anonymity, letting him strike down enemies while moving between bodies of cover and concealment amidst a crowd. The use of Assassin's Stance and Iaijutsu Focus make this style all the more deadly.

As for his counter-based combat, Ezio uses a few things. After entering combat with Assassin's Stance, he blocks the first attack made against him using Wall of Blades. The Master of Nine's Counter Stance ability lets him change stances when he uses a counter (like Wall of Blades), so he trades Assassin's Stance for Pearl of Black Doubt (granting him +2 AC for every attack which misses him in a round). Riposte grants him +1d6 bonus damage and +1 AC against enemies who have attacked him in the last round. From there, he uses maneuvers like Avalanche of Blades, Manticore Parry and his Tiger Claw maneuvers to pick off enemies in a battle of attrition.

Leadership: Where My Buddies At?
Ezio has the Leadership feat. He gains 20 leadership points from levels, 1 from his Charisma and 3 from the Guild Thief's Reputation ability. With a leadership score of 24, Ezio gains one 17th level cohort, 110 1st-level followers, 13 2nd-level followers, 7 3rd-level followers, 4 4th-level followers, 2 5th-level followers and 1 6th-level follower. His 17th level cohort is Leonardo Da'Vinci, an Artificer who creates all of Ezio's magical items. Leonardo also possesses the Leadership feat, and his cohort is an assassin organiser who himself has the Leadership feat. This process continues until Ezio has multiple high-level assassins and numerous low-level cohorts, each a trained assassin.

Leaps of Faith: Skydiving Without A Parachute
Ezio is well-known for the use of viewpoints and his repeated Leaps of Faith, and I did my best to replicate them. I think I've done so.

The tallest viewpoint in Assassin's Creed II is Giotto's Campanile, with a height of 280 feet (rounding up, as you do in DnD 3.5e). While no ordinary man would survive such a fall, Ezio is no ordinary man. Here are his tricks:
Get the Landing enchantment (MIC), ignoring the first 60ft of the fall. Since falling damage is blunt damage, pick up the Hammerblock enchantment (MIC) to ignore another 5 points of falling damage (it's 1d6 per 10 feet, reducing it to a mere 1 and only 1/6 times).
Get the Boots of Landing (MIC), ignoring 2d6 falling damage (equivalent to 20ft).
Use the Jump skill to reduce the falling damage. It's a DC 15 check to reduce the falling damage distance by 10 feet, and the Roof-Jumper feat lets us treat it as -20ft instead. Ezio's 23 ranks in Jump make this an easy task.
Use the Tumble skill to reduce the falling damage. For every 15 in the check result, the distance is treated as 10ft shorter. Ezio has 23 skill points in Tumble, a +2 bonus from his dexterity and a +2 synergy bonus from his Jump ranks for a +27 modifier baseline. Let's start adding items.
If we add in some Gloves of Dexterity +6, the new dexterity modifier increases the baseline from +27 to +30. Ezio can now easily ignore the first 20ft of a fall without fail.
If we add in a Belt of Ultimate Athleticism (MIC), we can take 10 on the check for a +40 modifier.
If we add a materwork item of tumbling, that's another +2 for a total modifier of +42.
If we add single-use +10 Shards of Tumbling (XPH), we can get an additional +10 bonus before taking a large jump. This increases the modifier to +52, which is enough to ignore the first 30ft of a fall. This lets him reach a solid 140 feet of no-damage falling distance.
Use a Dorje of Catfall with an (easily passed) UMd/UPD check, clearing an additional 10ft per manifester level. With a ML 14 Dorje of Catfall, we can ignore the next 140ft of falling damage and reach the Campanile's 280 feet.
We can go even further by increasing the manifester level of the Dorje to 20, giving us 200ft of falling distance instead of 140ft. This give us a total of 340ft of risk-free falling, which is enough to jump off the highest building in Assassin's Creed II: St Mark's Campanile, which stands at ~325 feet.

Death From Above: The Assassin Way
Now, let's not have all of this falling distance go to waste. The Roof-Jumper feat lets us deal bonus damage to enemies we attack while falling, granting 1d6 damage for every 10 feet fallen past the first 10 feet. Thus, if Ezio was to fall from 140 feet (his distance without the use of the Catfall dorje), he would deal an extra 13d6 damage on his attacks that round. If Ezio was to fall from the full 340 feet, he'd deal an extra 33d6 damage. While he'd normally only get one attack since jumping is a move action, Ezio has the Sudden Leap maneuver and a few other pounce-lite abilities; he's more than capable of receiving multiple attacks in a single round.

Let's go for the ideal scenario here. Ezio is at the top of St Mark's Campanile, some 325 feet above some unsuspecting schmuck on the ground. He uses his Dorje of Catfall as a swift action, waits until the next round, then jumps off the top of the Campanile. Characters in DnD 3.5e fall at 500ft/round/round, so he'll be there before the end of the round. Out of his four attacks (two at full BAB, plus two cumulative -5 iteratives), it seems reasonable to assume that only three will hit.
Thanks to Roof-Jumper, the poor schmuck will be taking 31d6 bonus damage thanks to Ezio's falling distance.
Assuming that the schmuck doesn't have a ludicrous spot check which lets him see Ezio from 340ft high (Which would be against Ezio's hide check, made with a -34 penalty for distance), the poor schmuck will be flat-footed. This means that his Sneak Attack and Assassin's Stance activates, granting a combined total of 5d6 bonus damage. It also means that his Iaijutsu Focus damage triggers, dealing an additional 4d6-7d6 bonus damage.
Result: A minimum of 1d4+40d6 damage on every attack that round. This averages out to 142.5 damage each, and that's not counting his strength bonus (for an easy +5 to each) or Power Attack+Leap Attack (for up to -13 to-hit for +39 damage each).
By comparison, a level 20 NPC Warrior gets 20d8 hit points, plus whatever his constition score can muster - let's say 16 to be kind, for +60 bonus HP. This gives him 150 base hp on average. If Ezio takes a -1 penalty to his attack rolls from Power Attack, he'll be dealing a total of 150.5 damage on average. All Ezio needs is one hit to reduce the NPC into a fine, red paste.

French Parkour: Only In Florence
Ezio is also well-known for his parkour skills - not just climbing, but also jumping and balancing. Funnily enough, there are skills in DnD 3.5e which do that. The Roofwalker and Roof-Jumper feats also give us some snazzy tricks.

I've already covered falling, but what about jumping? He has 23 ranks, and he has about +6 from his Strength. The Belt of Ultimate Athleticism lets him take 10 on the check, for a baseline of +39. Add on a masterwork tool for +2 and Ezio can jump 10ft in the air or 40ft in any direction (although he's limited to 30ft thanks to his movement speed). Don't forget to use Leaping Dragon stance for an extra +10 to Jump checks and the ability to consider every jump a running jump.
Roof-Jumper gives us something fancy atop that, though. As long as he's adjacent to a wall when he jumps down, Ezio can move 5ft horizontally for every 10ft fallen, with a limit equal to his land speed. Moving 60ft in a round through the (ab)use of windowsills and the like isn't too bad, is it?

Balancing is easy enough. It's a DC 20 check to cross a surface less than 2 inches wide, and Ezio's dexterity is high enough than he could do so even if the surface was made of ice. Roofwalker makes it even better, letting him move across these narrow surfaces at full speed without penalty.

Climbing is a tricky beast, but Ezio has a few tools for such an occasion.
He has 23 ranks in Climb.
He has a +6 bonus from his unmodified strength score, giving us a baseline modifier of +29.
He can pick up some Armbands of Might (MIC) for an additional +2, for a total of +31.
He can get a Ring of Improved Climbing for another +10, for a total of +41.
He can get a masterwork item of climbing for another +2, for a total of +43.
He has a climb speed equal to half his land speed, granting him a +8 bonus on the check and letting him take 10. This gives him a total modifier of +61.
As-is, Ezio can climb "an overhang or ceiling with handholds but no footholds" at 30ft/round (double speed, for a -5 penalty) in the rain (-5 penalty for a slippery surface) with no risk of failure.
If he's still using the Belt of Ultimate Athleticism, he can use its power to receive a natural 20 on one roll/day; this replaces the take 10 check with a result of 20, granting a total of 71. The DC to climb a" perfectly smooth, flat, vertical service" is DC 70. Ezio is now the ancestor of Spider Man.

I'm heavily considering putting this into my campaign as a fun encounter. I'll update the main post now. Here's a request from me to you, Muggins: Jackie Estacado from The Darkness. He's in the main post, but I think he requires a lot more than just a picture to do him justice.

Ah screw it, here's a picture of the beautiful man.

http://www.thenerdfilter.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/the-darkness-2-review.jpg

You are beyond welcome to replace his guns with crossbows or the D&D equivalent of a gun.

[malonkey1]

You said yourself that this is a rough build, does that mean you're going to expand on it or is this all that you're capable of doing at the moment? I'll mark it down as in work until you say otherwise.

I've got most of the crunch done, but yes, I do intend to clean it up later.

D'aw, thanks.

Coincidentally, I have some limited knowledge on The Darkness video games; it shouldn't be too hard to replicate his shooty-smashy abilities. The Darkness itself seems like a kind of Tsochar-thing (Lords of Madness), but I obviously can't do that since it hasn't got any LA. Thus, we improvise.

Can you think of a low-LA, low-RHD [Evil] Outsider race for use with the Fiend of Possession class? Because the best I've found so far is the Kaorti (2 RHD, +2 LA) from the Fiend Folio.

You're welcome. The Darkness is a Deity, though. It's the "embodiment" of evil/darkness/shadow, the opposite of the angelus/light/good. Being stupidly overpowered would work well with it, so a low LA race wouldn't particularly make sense. I have quite extensive knowledge on Jackie Estacado's capabilities as The Darkness outside of the games, which is currently the only character I'm not wanting to limit to the games because they don't even begin to outline the capabilities Jackie has.

Think of it this way: Assume that for every particle of light, there's a particle with an absence of light.

When we think of it this way, Jackie gains power and can essentially control 50% of all of creation. Of course, he doesn't always have that capability, but that's what he's like at the end of it.

EDIT: In case you were just wondering for the sake of that build, a Dretch (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/demon.htm#dretch) would probably work. +2 LA and 2d8 RHD.

Ah, alright. The requests still weren't listed in the correct format, though.

Well, TBH, LA is rarely worth it, except with buyoff or specialty builds.

Sneak Attack (Ex) Sakuya deals an additional 4d6 damage when attacking an opponent that is flanked or denied its dexterity bonus. (Casting nightstalker's transformation increases this damage to 7d6)

Daggercast (Ex) Sakuya can cast a spell with somatic and material components even when holding a dagger in each hand. If she holds anything other than a dagger, she must have at least one hand free to cast a spell with somatic or material components.

Double Daggercast (Ex) Sakuya can hold the charge for one touch spell for each dagger she is holding.

Invocation of the Knife (Su) Whenever Sakuya casts an arcane spell that deals energy damage, she can turn half of the damage dealt by the spell into magic slashing damage rather than energy damage. Energy resistance does not apply to this damage, but damage reduction might. This power does not affect a creature's ability to resist the affected spell with a saving throw or spell resistance.

Arcane Infusion (Su) As a swift action, Sakuya can lose a prepared spell to charge a dagger she is holding with arcane energy. The dagger deals an additional 1d6 damage of the chosen energy type for a number of rounds equal to the spell's level.

Arcane Throw (Su) Sakuya can deliver touch spells with her thrown daggers just as if she were making a melee attack. If the dagger hits, the touch spell is discharged against the creature or object struck. If the dagger misses its intended target, the dagger returns to Sakuya before her next turn (as per the returning special ability) and retains the spell as if Sakuya had missed the touch melee attack.

Daggerspell Flurry (Su) Six times per day, Sakuya can quicken one spell as part of a full attack with her daggers. Doing this has no effect on the spell's effective level. She must make at least one malee attack in any round she uses this ability, and cannot make an attack with anything other than a dagger. If the spell cast in conjunction with this ability requires an attack roll, she can still make the spell's attack.)

Spellglyph (Su) Sakuya can prepare spellglyphs, arcane diagrams that substitute for the spell's verbal and material components. Spells cast in conjunction with the spellglyph scribed for that spell allow her to cast the spell as if it were affected by the Silent Spell feat. (Sakuya's spellglyphs take the form of playing cards)

Book of Geometry (Ex) Sakuya's spellbook is organized in a compact fashion, wherein each spell takes up only a single page. Sakuya's spellbook takes the form of a deck of playing cards.

Sigilsight (Ex) Sakuya can use a Search check to find magic traps based on runes, glyphs, sigils, symbols, and other writings as a rogue can. She gains a bonus equal to her caster level on Search checks to find traps of this sort. Merely coming in within 10 feet of such a trap entitles Sakuya to make a Search check as if she were actively searching for a magic trap.

EDIT: I honestly don't know how Daggercast will interact with Spellglyphs. Spellglyphs replace material and verbal components (which means they need to be drawn out of whatever container they're in), while Daggercast allows for the use of somatic and material components even while holding daggers. My take is that Sakuya really doesn't need to let go of her weapons, and cast pretty much everything as if with Silent Spell, as long as she has spellglyphs prepared. Pretty much exactly how she casts in the fighting games. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB2HdPnhgpw)

Jackie Estacado is as much of a bother as Ezio, if not more. I don't know enough about his abilities to do him justice as a 3.5e character.

Instead, I guess I'll get back to work on Daud. Or maybe The Spy, if I want something easier. We'll see.

I'd like to give my thanks to Aslan, Dusk, Stirge, Smeagle and the Grey Watcher for your work here. I like to think that this is all pretty neat, and I never get to play ECL 20 characters anyway.

Jackie Estacado is as much of a bother as Ezio, if not more. I don't know enough about his abilities to do him justice as a 3.5e character.

Instead, I guess I'll get back to work on Daud. Or maybe The Spy, if I want something easier. We'll see.

I'd like to give my thanks to Aslan, Dusk, Stirge, Smeagle and the Grey Watcher for your work here. I like to think that this is all pretty neat, and I never get to play ECL 20 characters anyway.

Well I'm running a campaign at the moment, we're not gonna meet up for a while but it's a campaign that is currently titled "Monsters" until I figure out a better name for it. The party's current ECL is 17/16 (some are the former, others are the latter) and they're levelling up at a high rate, mainly because I don't exactly use an XP system. I'm intending for the PCs to level up quite quickly, so they should reach epic level next session. If you feel like joining I'd be more than happy to let you join, but some of the builds that are centered around race rather than class in this thread aren't going to be easy to replicate as it's MM-exclusive races that I'm allowing.

[Xaroth]

Another few... that I can't understand how I forgot them in my last post:
Deadpool (Deadpool)
Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece Unlimited Adventure or later game)
Roronoa Zorro (One Piece Unlimited Adventure or later game)
Zero (Megaman X8)
Faith (Mirrors Edge)
Hiryu (Strider)
Garrett (Thief)
Dart (Legend of the Dragoon)

I feel like Deadpool will have a Regeneration of stupid with ranks in Samurai.
Faith will be quite similar to Ezio, I guess.
I'm gonna put Zoro and Luffy as pre-timeskip, I'm gonna make an anime characters as D&D characters thread in which I'll request the entire Straw Hat Crew post-timeskip, but I assume Luffy will probably have immunity to fear and immunity to non-lethal damage or some similar effect along with immunity to electricity (he's rubber, he can get completely flattened and not feel any pain and he just doesn't get scared of anything).
Zoro is getting ranks in Samurai and a sunder of a ridiculous caliber, there's absolutely no doubt about that. There is a homebrew version of him, but that's homebrew and this thread isn't.

[Xaroth]

I'm surprised nobody's taken up Chuck Greene, he seems somewhat simple but if it weren't for the fact that there's probably a better way to build him than what I can come up with I would build him.

Basically what I can think of is Exotic Weapon Master, Expert, and ALL OF THE CRAFT ABILITIES.

ALL.
OF.
THEM.

I think faith would have quite a different build. More Disarm and tumbling through stuff. From what I remember of the game she doesn't drop that far down as ezio does and basically just punches guys, disarms them then shoots them and run further.

The game Unlimited Adventure is afaik pre-timeskip. Around the time Brooke joins the crew but I would have to play it again.
About the Animethread... yeah sure, I had quite some ideas from that thread on recommendations...

I cannot find a way to make a grippli's tongue do anything other than grab small objects and deliver touch attacks.

Any 3.5 versions for Death from Darksiders?

[Inevitability]

I'm sorry, but I'll have to let go of Megaman. I've heard lots of great ideas, and I'm sure someone else could create him. Again, I'm very sorry.

[Krazzman]

Another one that should be mentioned:

Vincent Valentine (Dirge of Cerberus)

I'M DISAPPOINTED IN MYSELF

THAT GUY'S SERIOUSLY MY FAVORITE CHARACTER FROM ANY GAME EVER

I feel like he'll be a Demon assuming human form with Gunslinger.

Any 3.5 versions for Death from Darksiders?

Meowmasterish is currently working on one. When it's complete, the main list will be updated.

[rg9000]

I've always viewed Mewtwo as a boss...

[Muggins]

I've always viewed Mewtwo as a boss...
He doesn't even get a specific game of origin, despite appearing in multiple renditions of the Pokemon series. I wouldn't even consider him a protagonist.

Game of origin: Pocket Monsters Red and Green Versions (1996)

[RedMage125]

Re: Mewtwo

Not being a pokemon fan, most pokemon I even know the names of come my extensive playing of the from Super Smash Bros. series. In the Gamecube iteration (Super Smash Bros. Melee), Mewtwo is a playable character.

He was scrapped for Lucario in Brawl (for the Wii), but Lucario was like Mewtwo and a ninja had a baby anyway, so...improvement.

[SoraWolf7]

I'd like to make one suggestion for this thread, that might be an interesting one. Kutaro from Puppeteer (PS3). The soul of a boy shoved into a wooden puppet and being able to switch heads at will? Not to mention the omni-cutting and sometimes flaming scissors he wields.

So the marked is about as fit as Batman, not a physical god, but definitely better than all but the physically best humans ever, so I made him level ten. Considering he's a ninja, swordsage was an obvious start for a class, but I gave him four levels of Factotum for the "I have all the skills" abilities and some (albeit extremely limited) arcane spells for what ever that can't cover (such as animate rope or something). The marked ninja can fall huge distances without taking fall damage (feather fall), is almost spider-man like with his grappling hook (use rope and animate rope) able to intimidate guards with corpses (intimidate and surprisingly use rope), pick locks (skills and equipment), he occasionally pickpockets his targets (cunning knowledge), can navigate the exterior and ceilings of buildings with ease (dance of the spider +climb) has enough knowledge of devices to find the power supply and stab it (cunning knowledge + a good weapon), and of course, stab people ( Focus + assassin's stance, maybe SNB). But if he can't get a backstab, a few unarmed strikes of opportunity against the jerks using a ranged weapon in melee, followed by a mighty throw into a SNB. Edit: Also, he put is two leveling bonuses into dex, and the +2 strength is a magic tattoo, as the spell

Congrats on finishing it, you're marked as complete for it.

[KrimsonNekros]

Alicia (Bulletwitch) might be an interesting build to see done.

Also looking at Bayonetta. She seems Like an Ascetic Mage/ Demonologist mix would fit her best.

[AvatarVecna]

@Xaroth
I'm willing to do Gordon Freeman, provided I understand what you're looking for.
Are you wanting a 20 level build that someone could use to play as Gordon Freeman, or are you wanting a character that has abilities realistic, compared to his abilities in the games? Cause while I totally support the One Free Man, he's not exactly a 20th level character. Also, would you prefer that I stick to official 3.5 stuff, or is homebrew/gestalt/Pathfinder shenanigans welcome?

This looks like it's gonna be fun.

Accurate to his abilities.
I'd prefer you stick to official 3.5 stuff, but if it's ABSOLUTELY necessary, I'll allow Pathfinder. And isn't Gestalt in 3.5?
Homebrew is an absolute nope train. CHUGA-CHUGA-NOPE-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE

[Nightraiderx]

my bad, dropped the ball on making Ryu so if someone else wants to, be my guest.

Gestalt is technically 3.5 IIRC, but it's generally seen as power gamer cheese; it's also really difficult to decide if a character concept needs to be a gestalt, especially when many existing classes are essentially two other classes combined (paladin=fighter/cleric, ranger=fighter/druid, etc.).

I understand the rejection of homebrew;as such, I have no homebrew requests.

Pathfinder shouldn't be necessary; even with only the DMG firearms, I think I can simulate all of his equipment; the only really questionable RAI is using a grenade launcher to fire a 10-stick bundle of dynamite at someone and calling it a rocket launcher. The other way to pull this off is to just use a (homebrew) handcannon. NOPE.

[Threadnaught]

Gonna move Mewtwo over to the Anime Characters thread.

At the core, all pokemon are videogame characters/encounters/bosses. The anime is effectively a glorified advertisement, though since Mewtwo is more powerful in the anime it would make for a more appropriate build for one of the best (imo) pokemon ever. I think I'll go find that other thread and post.


Edit: Ashley Riot (Vagrant Story)

[KrimsonNekros]

Think I'm going to try an tackle Bayonetta. Just got the game again today and looking at her play style, I think I've got a good idea for what to do, though she's going to be epic from what I can see, and go figure she's 600 years old XD.

Alrighty, I'll mark you down for her.

[KrimsonNekros]

Did some digging around and so far the best stub I can come up with for Bayonetta is a Fighter 2/Sorcerer 10/ Battle Dancer 12/ Malconvoker 9. Obviously still need to figure out what feats would suit her best besides Augment Summoning. If anyone has some ideas on how to either condense this down a few levels and still maintain all her abilities or toss out an idea for what feats she should have it would be appreciated.

[Xaroth]

Any progress?

[KrimsonNekros]

Not much. Been busy wit work. Haven't really had time to sit down and work on builds.

[Xaroth]

I made stats for Street Fighter's Ryu and Ken, and Sakura and Dan (the latter statted up intentionally horrible as a joke character) for an arena fight way back. I wasn't too literal in how I made them, but they would be much closer to the video game versions if you just changed Ryu and Ken's class to unarmed Swordsage. Ryu uses Death Mark and Fan the Flames for Hadoken; Ken uses Soaring Raptor Strike for Shoryuken. Sakura's a lower level Kineticist with a psionic variation of the Fiery Burst reserve feat and energy missiles. Dan...just sucks. He hits feebly and goads people.

Sweet, bumping for people to see

I appreciate that you used the correct formatting, but as I'm quite busy I'd appreciate if you could list their names. It just makes it so much easier to add them to the list as I'm not familiar with the Persona games.

Yes, yes, I know, "how could you not have played persona ermergerd".

I did just make an Ike [Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn] build. For those who care, it's not ToB, because Ike doesn't do much in the way of that aside from is Aether/Great Aether.
