    Keroro probably uses some kind of WBL-mancy build, since he has access to ridiculous amounts of equipment out of apparently nowhere. He seems to be focused on social skills like Bluff and Diplomacy (mostly to keep up his troops' morale and loyalty while he procrastinates about their mission). He also has lots of ranks in Craft (gunpla) and Knowledge (gunpla).

    His class and level seem to be largely irrelevant, but Rogue would be a good place to start (a variety of social and subterfuge-related skills, and poor Fort and Will saves).

    Spoiler: Asuna in DnD 3.5e
    Show
    Foreword: Adaptations Are Weird
    Unlike Kirito, the Black Swordsman of Aincrad, Asuna doesn't see much combat. She fights alongside Kirito, yes, but overall she's made out to be a rather powerless character - heck, she even gets Stuffed in the Fridge during the ALFheim arc. I've only watched the Sword Art Online anime so I don't know if she's any different in the manga, but I've built her as best I could based on what little I've been given.


    Weaponry: Lambent Light
    Asuna only uses one weapon: her rapier, Lambent Light. She has no shield and no secondary weapon, and she usually doesn't dual-wield it. Of course, in DnD 3.5e, this is possibly the worst combat style. Even unarmed strikes get some support; out of dozens of splatbooks, einhanders only have two or three feats. Half of those don't even need you to fight with one weapon!

    However, there are ways to build a character like this. This Asuna will be using a singular weapon: a +1 Rapier with the Adaptive quality. Most importantly, this allows it to be used with the Iaijutsu Master's various katana-specific abilities and with the Shadow Blade feat.


    Combat: Triple Threat!
    Asuna has three different methods of combat available to her.
    A Running Start: Ideally, Asuna will rely on her speed to deal damage while keeping out of harm's way.
    • Rapid Blitz lets her make three "attack actions" while moving her full 60ft movement speed each round. These attacks are made at +18/+13/+8. If she adds in the Wind Stride maneuver, her movement speed increases to 80ft.
    • One Strike, Two Cuts lets her deal damage twice with a single attack action.
    • Child of Shadow grants her 20% concealment if she moves at least 10 feet in a round.
    • In combination, these abilities let her make six attacks per round against any targets within range of her 60ft movement speed. Her attack routine is +18/+18/+13/+13/+8/+8.
    • Note: It's unclear whether these two vague and rarely-used rules combine like this. However, I have asked about it and I received a sorta-confirmation that it probably would. Since the Spring Attack line of feats don't benefit from ubercharging or two-weapon fighting, this is probably the best way to make it an effective combat style.


    Standing Still: If she's in a situation where she can't actually escape an enemy's threatened range, she'll fall back on reflexes and finesse.
    • Dodge grants her +1 AC against a single target. Midnight Dodge grants her +2 AC against a second target.
    • Word Given Form grants her a 50% miss chance against both her Dodge and Midnight Dodge targets.
    • Elusive Target lets her remove her Dodge and Midnight Dodge targets' Power Attack benefits while forcing them to keep the penalties.
    • Combat Finesse grants her some extra AC against all attacks, and Defend the Weak lets her share this bonus with an adjacent ally.
    • Wild Fighting effectively gives her the ability to flurry with any weapon, taking a -2 penalty to all attacks so that she can make an extra attack each round.
    • In combination, these abilities gives her a high chance of dodging attacks while reducing the potential damage of any attacks which do get through.


    Striking First and Last: Asuna acts before you do, and she knows where to strike best.
    • Iaijutsu Focus grants her between +4d6 and +8d6 bonus damage on attacks made against flat-footed targets after she draws a weapon.
    • Strike from the Void lets her add her Charisma modifier to her Iaijutsu Focus damage dice. For every +1d6 Iaijutsu Focus damage, she adds an additioanl +3 damage from her Charisma modifier. The running total is between +4d6+12 and +8d6+24 bonus damage.
    • Lightning Blade lets her add her Charisma modifier to initiative checks.
    • Improved Initiative grants her a flat +4 bonus to initiative checks.
    • In combination, these abilities give her a chance to end the fight before it begins. Maybe.



    Assorted Benefits: X to Y Wuz Here
    Asuna has three primary attributes: Dexterity, Charisma and Intelligence.
    • She uses her Dexterity bonus for her attack rolls (Weapon Finesse) and adds it to her damage rolls (Shadow Blade).
    • She adds her Charisma modifier to AC (Battle Dancer), Saves (Divine Grace). As mentioned above, she also adds it to her initiative checks (Lighting Blade) and Iaijutsu Focus damage dice (Strike from the Void).
    • She adds her Intelligence modifier to AC (Canny Defense).


    Varia: Skills and Talents
    Asuna's got a few other skills. Profession (Cook) has obvious relevance, but she's also got some ridiculous Jump and Tumble skill checks via Acrobatics, Leap of the Clouds and her movement speed bonuses. Although her deurantagonist status keeps us from being sure, it seems reasonable to give her Diplomacy (for when the times when she actually gets to speak for herself).

    Thank you.

    ...I just had an idea.

    Could you make alterations to Kirito and Asuna and submit them as a duo that are basically... well, perfect together?

    I'd say that they already work together quite well. Asuna doesn't take hits well, and her high AC gives enemies incentive to attack Kirito instead. Oh well.

    I honestly hate them, but this isn't the place to talk about it. The DnD 3.5e versions we've made work together in that Kirito tanks the hits while Asuna stays out of harm's way. That's as much combat synergy as I recall from the anime, and that's good enough for me.

    I've not got a very good eye for things that work well together (which is why I don't create characters) so if they work well together I'ma take your word on it.

    While I am an avid fan of One Piece, due to my lack of knowledge of Tome of Battle, I can't tackle Whitebeard, at least from what I researched. Making Whitebeard a Dwarf (Ironic, I know) with the Deepstone Sentinel class seeming perfect for him, due to the Stone Dragon maneuvers that mimic his natural abilities and DF powers. I'll leave this here as a suggestion to anyone who knows ToB better than me and wants to tackle Whitebeard.

    Woah, here comes Naruto!

    Wu-Jen 4/Warblade 1/Jade Phoenix Mage 10/Uncanny Trickster (JPM) 3/Archmage 1/Warblade 1 Human

    STR: 16 DEX: 12 CON: 16 INT: 16 WIS: 10 CHA: 10

    Stat bumps are 1 to INT and 4 to STR

    1 Power Attack/Improved Bull Rush/Improved Unarmed Strike/Flaw(Spell Focus)/Flaw(Spell Focus)
    3 Open Feat
    6 Superior Unarmed Strike
    9 Shock Trooper
    12 Skill Focus -- Spellcraft
    15 Open Feat (powerful charge? leap attack?)
    18 Martial Study -- White Raven Hammer


    Here, we gain +16 BAB and 2 7th level spell (Body Outside Body and Giant Size), as well as CL 14

    He can summon as much "shadow clones" by using Body Outside Body by designating High Arcana on it, allowing every single Body Outside Body clone to do it themselves twice, and with White Raven goodies and Devoted Spirit, you can do some beautiful things. Namely, War Masters Charge.

    Say we fill every space 30 feet away from us around us. That is 34 clones attacking, each dealing +25 damage, and gaining cumulative +2 attack bonus each time. Then, each clone can use War Master's Charge again themselves. You yourself can buy belt of battle and give yourself an extra full round (War Masters Charge). Not only that, you can do White Raven's Tactics each time, allowing everyone a full-round attack and maneuver recharge. Use the stance Swarm Tactics. Naruto Uzumaki 2K Barrage anyone? Not only that, but you can use emerald immolation on each one, dealing massive damage.

    For Nine-Tails, there are Polymorph(Dire Tiger(reflavor fox)+Giant Size to any size. When Giant sizing, make sure to use a Ioun stone and other boosts to get to Colossal.

    Rasengan is White Raven Hammer, stunning opponents, allowing your clones an opportunity to either do the same thing and stun lock, or full attacks all around.

    I couldn't figure out how to replicate Rasenshuriken, and keep in mind this would be around Pein, as i couldn't incorporate all the things he can use now.

    Ways to improve this is to fit in Pounce as well as Transcend Mortality for improved power.

    I've been waiting for someone to come in here with characters from Naruto. Mostly so I can drop this here, even if those builds are a) not in the Iron Chef format and b) sometimes built with third party content (gorram Hyperconscious).

    To be a bit more on-topic, I fail to see why Jade Phoenix Mage is remotely appropriate to Naruto. Doesn't he use wind chakra?

    I needed a class that advanced spellcasting and maneuvers, and this was the only one. A slight mistake, I believe to only include one such class despite all the gishes out there.

    To be a bit more on-topic, I fail to see why Jade Phoenix Mage is remotely appropriate to Naruto. Doesn't he use wind chakra?



    Yes, yes he does. As to the builds, if you can incorporate them into an Iron Chef format, I'll happily add them.

    STR: 16 DEX: 12 CON: 16 INT: 16 WIS: 10 CHA: 10

    Stat bumps are 1 to INT and 4 to STR

    1 Power Attack/Improved Bull Rush/Improved Unarmed Strike/Flaw(Spell Focus)/Flaw(Spell Focus)
    3 Combat Casting
    6 Superior Unarmed Strike
    9 Shock Trooper
    12 Skill Focus -- Spellcraft
    15 Open Feat (powerful charge? leap attack?)
    18 Martial Study -- White Raven Hammer


    Here, we gain +16 BAB and 2 7th level spell (Body Outside Body and Giant Size), as well as CL 14

    He can summon as much "shadow clones" by using Body Outside Body by designating High Arcana on it, allowing every single Body Outside Body clone to do it themselves twice, and with White Raven goodies and Devoted Spirit, you can do some beautiful things. Namely, War Masters Charge.

    Say we fill every space 30 feet away from us around us. That is 34 clones attacking, each dealing +25 damage, and gaining cumulative +2 attack bonus each time. Then, each clone can use War Master's Charge again themselves. You yourself can buy belt of battle and give yourself an extra full round (War Masters Charge). Not only that, you can do White Raven's Tactics each time, allowing everyone a full-round attack and maneuver recharge. Use the stance Swarm Tactics. Naruto Uzumaki 2K Barrage anyone? Not only that, but you can use emerald immolation on each one, dealing massive damage.

    For Nine-Tails, there are Polymorph(Dire Tiger(reflavor fox)+Giant Size to any size. When Giant sizing, make sure to use a Ioun stone and other boosts to get to Colossal.

    Rasengan is White Raven Hammer, stunning opponents, allowing your clones an opportunity to either do the same thing and stun lock, or full attacks all around.

    I couldn't figure out how to replicate Rasenshuriken, and keep in mind this would be around Pein, as i couldn't incorporate all the things he can use now.

    Ways to improve this is to fit in Pounce as well as Transcend Mortality for improved power.

    I imagine there are Wu-Jen spells to cover this. All elemental spells are part of their spell list, as said by Spell Compendium, so there are the Orb of ___ spells, and Scorching Ray works if you believe they are just multiple shots. Then you also need to add the feat for metamagic to not make it suck.

    I do request, however,

    4th Raikage, A (Naruto)

    I couldn't really think of anything, as he mostly is very fast, nigh invulnerable, and strong due to his lightning armor. Other than that, he displays no other techniques other than Lariat (entirely taijutsu) and Liger Bomb (it is literally a power bomb from 5 stories up). One must ask how he got raikage status.

    I remember someone once stating in a duo character thread about a prestige class that specifically allowed a fiend to possess a weapon... I'm sure someone could work around that. It was called Fiend of Possession... I might take a whack at it. I've got an idea of how to build Maka at least.

    Okay, so this is the importantest question ever. Well, questions.
    1. Gestalt build- is it a viable option?

    I'm not exactly the host for these threads, so these are just my opinions.

    1. I'd consider it to be kinda cheaty, what with all of the other builds being non-gestalt. I have the same feelings about epic levels; just use those 20 levels as best you can.

    2. How cheesy is this cheese? Is it relying on a certain rules interpretation of One Strike, Two Cuts and Spring Attack? Is it the Wish and the Word-level antics? There's ultimately no single answer, and the definition of 'cheese' stretches between different people. Example, please?

    I think I'm going to give it a try.

    Here comes Guts

    Spoiler
    Show

    Race: Human. There are theories he might not be fully human, in which case I think Goliath would be most appriorate
    Abbility Scores: Str > Con > Wis > Dex > Int > Cha
    Guts Strength is extraordinary and he had also shown ability to take a lot of punishment and displayed some strong willpower. He had also shown pretty good acrobatic skills and cunning.

    Build:
    Pre Eclipse: Spirit Lion Totem Barbarian 2/Fighter 4
    Black Swordsman: Spirit Lion Totem Barbarian 2/Fighter 4/Urban Ranger 1/Martial Wizard 1
    Since finding Berserker Armor: Spirit Lion Totem Barbarian 2/Fighter 4/Urban Ranger 1/Martial Wizard 1/Frenzied Berserker 4

    No martial classes because, as it's many times shown, Guts doesn't have the finesse and skill of Griffith or Serpico, but makes up for it with brutal stregth.

    Breakhtought:
    Level 1: Power Attack, Monkey Grip (Human only), Destructive Rage (flaw*), Intimidating Rage (flaw*), Pounce, Illteracy, Rage 1/day
    Level 2: Uncanny Dodge
    Level 3: Cleave, Improved Bull's Rush
    Level 4: Endurance
    Level 5: T-T
    Level 6: Leap Attack, Shock Trooper
    Level 7: Urban Tracking, Favored Enemy: Apostles
    Level 8: Stedafast Determination, Familiar (Puck), Casting but not enough Int to get any spells
    Level 9: Iron Will, Frenzy 1/day, Diehard
    Level 10: Supreme Cleave
    Level 11: Frenzy 2/day
    Level 12: Idominable Soul, Deathless Frenzy

    * - Official flaws don't seem to fit Guts, they might be custom made. He might have acquired those flaws later (losing hand and eye?) and receiving the feats only then.

    BAB: +11, Base Saves: Fort: +11 Ref: +4 Will: +7
    Skills: A lot of ranks in Jump and Intimidate, some in Climb, maybe few in Tumble.

    Berserker Armor, prostetic hand and Dragonslayer might have to be custom made.


    Now some requests on my own
    Fullmetal Alchemist: Envy, Wrath, Lan Fan, Mei, Pride, Kimblee
    Berserk: Serpico, Schirke, Ishidro, Zod, Sonia
    Fate/zero: Lancer, Caster, Berserker
    Devilman: Akira Fudou/Devilman, Sirene
    Fist of the North Star: Kenshiro, Raoh
    Dragon Ball Z: Vegeta
    Akira: Tetsuo
    Drifters: Joan d'Arc

    The kind of light, diet cheese that almost every table would probably find acceptable. Mostly using questionable RAW reading and overpowered (StP Erudite) ingredients to create a T3 (I ALMOST ALWAYS shoot for T3. Just because) build.

    First:

    Taking RAW, well, RAW. Among all the things, using this to build a themed sorcerer list. Druid, Cleric - hogging all the relevant spells.

    2. Spelldancer fun with the pretty standard exhaustion and con damage reductions.
