The Essence of the MCU in D&D

[col_impact]

The task was capture the spirit of the character HULK which I did.

Plus the spirit of Stan Lee aproves of my build.

Plus my build just destroys your build.

Plus my build is hecka fun to play and when you play it you feel like a superhero doing Hulk things and saving the day with Banner magico-scientifico gamma ray spellness.

Your build just plays like a Barbarian. ##YAWN##. Conan.

Nice Conan build.

This is what I wrote up myself for the Hulk.

It utilizes a Moon Druid but that's because the most important part of the Hulk, to me, is him transforming from a physically weak scholar to a strong monster. I don't particularly like having Bruce Banner/The Hulk represented with Barbarian for two reasons: you really can't portray the transformation (the build will always have a good strength score at all times) and that rage doesn't last long enough time. A rage lasts for one minute (till 15th level), while wildshape lasts a number of hours equal to half your druid level (rounded down).

For the spells I focused on healing, divination, & ritual spells as to represent his scientific background. He's still a guy that Tony Stark would collaborate with due to being able to cast spells like Awaken but I wanted his spells to have no real combat applications (as he'll never be casting them in combat due to wild-shape).

Nice take. No U.A. allowed in my competitions though. But I like your ideas. Very helpful to see. Haunted one is a great choice for background.

But even so wouldn't you rather have smite so your Hulk could actually tank and smash? My green angel kobold can seriously lay on the hurt.

[Zonugal]

Nope! Paladin doesn't really mesh with my take on Bruce Banner and would also demand a strength of at least 13, which would nullify one of my goals for the build (str 8 --> str 20 in six seconds).

Oh ok. If that is one of your design constraints.

My design constraint was he would . . . Ahem, ##HULK SMASH##

But hey everyone has different priorities. You could always give him a condition which reduces his strength while in human form lower than starting values. A crippling injury/curse/disease that prevented further advancement in paladin.

IMHO, if the Hulk can't deliver in the blows department then you sir have not built the Hulk. The central concept of the Hulk is that he smashes.

[Damon_Tor]

Hmmmm. I've pondered on this for a couple hours now, and ... it doesn't sit right with me. She's a martial artist, at least in her early levels.

As I recall, the film opens with her CO beating her soundly in hand to hand combat. We don't see much proficiency here: no rapid precise strikes that would mark her as a "monk". Hell, we see more and better unpowered hand-to-hand combat from Thor during the SHIELD break in scene in the first Thor movie than we ever see from Carol in hers. She's competent certainly; she has obviously been trained, but no more than anyone with a military background. Not everyone competant at hand to hand combat needs monk levels, and certainly not 20 of them.

Just faking that with spells doesn't feel right.

Kind of a weird place to draw the line IMO, but if it bothers you that much I would think a few levels in fighter would serve the concept better. UA has the unarmed fighting style, and it would work just fine, and you'd get more HP out of the package as well as Second Wind, so she'd be tankier right off the bat. If the hangup is wanting to use dex for unarmed strikes I've got to ask why: she's strong as heck. Let her be strong.

And considering the mixed reaction she's gotten from the other MCU heroes (and the fanbase), I wonder if it's more flavor-appropriate for her to be Wisdom-based rather than Charisma-based (which, hmmm, maybe vetoes the Hexblade idea).

Charisma is a broad concept in Dungeons and Dragons. It's intimidation at the same time as persuasion. You can have a powerful "force of personality" and not be at all likable, and Carol absolutely has a strong force of personality. And wisdom is an even worse fit: she spent half her first film being manipulated, lied to.

While this whole project is pretty cheesy, I'm trying to limit it to cheese that I as a DM would allow if I were to actually run a campaign like this. And I don't think making a natural weapon (temporary, at that) into your Pact Weapon is within the letter OR the spirit of the rules.

Fist-as-pact-weapon isn't essential.

Eh, it doesn't seem like the right style of defense. I think I liked better her having just massive HP and proficiency (and rerolls) in all saves.

You aren't going to get "massive HP" on a monk chassis anyway: you need another form of defense if you want her to be able to take hits like Captain Marvel. And for her powerset, "active defense" damage resistance spells are absolutely appropriate.

For the sake of argument, if you guys were to build her with at least some levels of Monk, what else would she have? I'm not 100% set on that (in fact, I'd like to give her light armor), but it's still what I'm leaning toward for now.

The Monk class is infamous for a lack of multiclass synergy, so there's not really anywhere else to go. If she has to be a monk, make her a Four Elements monk. Focus on fire stuff for blasting obviously, but you can get flight this way as well as stoneskin for tanking.

[Damon_Tor]

On Hulk:

If it were me, I would make him a sorcerer, for only one reason: a sorcerer can melt down all of his spell slots and make them into 4th level slots. And then, all he ever does with those spell slots is cast polymorph on himself. And he always turns himself into a Giant Ape. You don't HAVE to know more than one spell; that would be the only spell he knows.

Built in this way, you're free to do whatever you want with his stats. You could hive him str 8 and con 8 if you felt like it, int 18, whatever you wanted, but as soon as he turned into the Hulk he would get str 23, con 18, and int 6.

Definitely a great take on the Hulk. I do like mine better. But I do admire your Chutzpah! Love it!

Decent points. Yeah, I don't mind her being Strength-based rather than Dexterity-based. Too bad that Fighter requires a 5-level investment if I want her to be able to attack more than once per turn.

Charisma is a broad concept in Dungeons and Dragons. It's intimidation at the same time as persuasion. You can have a powerful "force of personality" and not be at all likable, and Carol absolutely has a strong force of personality. And wisdom is an even worse fit: she spent half her first film being manipulated, lied to.

Again, fair point.

Fist-as-pact-weapon isn't essential.

It seemed pretty essential to the build you were describing before. I'll see what I can come up with though.

You aren't going to get "massive HP" on a monk chassis anyway: you need another form of defense if you want her to be able to take hits like Captain Marvel. And for her powerset, "active defense" damage resistance spells are absolutely appropriate.

The Monk class is infamous for a lack of multiclass synergy, so there's not really anywhere else to go. If she has to be a monk, make her a Four Elements monk. Focus on fire stuff for blasting obviously, but you can get flight this way as well as stoneskin for tanking.

Eh, I really don't like the Four Elements take. Its flight is too limited, Stoneskin still sucks, and fire doesn't fit her blasting as well as radiant does.

I'll probably drop the whole Monk aspect, especially since the constant-flying Aasimar thing seems to be an AL-only option, according to my modest Google-fu. I'll miss Diamond Soul, though, and even Tongue of the Sun and Moon and Timeless Body.

On Hulk:

If it were me, I would make him a sorcerer, for only one reason: a sorcerer can melt down all of his spell slots and make them into 4th level slots. And then, all he ever does with those spell slots is cast polymorph on himself. And he always turns himself into a Giant Ape.

Nitpick: Int 7.

Cute idea, but has some critical flaws. Foremost among them is the way his transformation would be Concentration-based, so every time he takes damage he has to roll (with only a +4 bonus) to stay as the Hulk. That's awful for the concept.

Any feedback on Black Widow's build? I want to stat her out in detail next.

[Draz74]

This is what I wrote up myself for the Hulk.

It utilizes a Moon Druid but that's because the most important part of the Hulk, to me, is him transforming from a physically weak scholar to a strong monster. I don't particularly like having Bruce Banner/The Hulk represented with Barbarian for two reasons: you really can't portray the transformation (the build will always have a good strength score at all times) and that rage doesn't last long enough time. A rage lasts for one minute (till 15th level), while wildshape lasts a number of hours equal to half your druid level (rounded down).

This has some problems too, but overall it's an ok take at Level 12. I wish it scaled better to Level 20 (Earth Elemental just isn't impressive at Level 20).

You're right about issues with the Barbarian build too, though. Sadly, even at 15th level the Barbarian's rage only lasts a minute, or five total minutes per day; a full 20 levels is required to get constant rage.

The idea behind my build is that he's not only the Hulk while raging; his transformation between Banner and Hulk was supposed to be one of pure roleplay (which has the advantage that it can be as slow or as fast as necessary: action, bonus action, reaction, or no action at all). He's the Hulk while using strong-type abilities, whether or not he's Raging; he's Banner when using smart-type abilities, mostly Skills; and it's up to the player to limit that they can't do both at the same time. (There's some suspension of disbelief here, but IMO there's just as much if he has a bunch of Druid spells that he just doesn't use optimally because they don't fit the concept.)

But maybe I should just declare that my build represents Professor Hulk from Endgame, and accept the flaws of something more transformation-based for the earlier films.

She can, every round for one minute, deal +10 radiant damage to everyone within ten feet and +30 radiant damage to an opponent engaged in melee combat with her. This represents her activating her Binary power.

Very cool. You know if you swap 1 level for 1 Life Cleric you unlock ##REGENERATE 10## and ##INSANE HEALING## and ##RAPHAEL## if you are collecting those things. Also, I can't seem to find Spirit Guardians or Spiritual Weapon on there. Marvel is not flame. Marvel is radiant. And lightning would be her secondary effect.

I'd honestly simplify things considerably on the Hulk situation - 2 Paladin/Moon Druid X. Get your science through skills and judicious application of druid spells, Paladin is there to allow for smites. In combat, as was mentioned previously in the thread, you wildshape (I'd pick either earth elemental or mammoth), and burn all your spell slots on smites and self-healing. Keep Shapechange in your back pocket for when you need to a particularly pissed off Hulk. If you get knocked out of Wildshape, fluff it as though it was still there and bonus action right back in next turn. Investiture of Wind gives you a 10 minute duration fly speed of 60, and disadvantage for ranged attacks to hit you, allowing long jumps and "shrugging off" bullets.

For a more unstoppable Hulk, go straight Moon Druid to 20. Unlimited wild shapes, be an earth elemental forever. You lose out on damage, but most of what we see Hulk doing is taking hits and crushing minions, with the occasional big strength check to stop something from moving (giant alien creature in Avengers, Fenrir in Ragnarok).

For Carol Danvers, I'd strongly consider Warlock 2-3/ Sorcerer X. Pure beamspam, and one of the strongest multiclass options available. Take blasting effects and personal defense spells, Quicken/Twin metamagics, and burn all your spell slots for more Eldritch Blast. Eventually you will have options including twinned disintegrate for those times that you need to completely eliminate that spaceship. I'd consider Divine Soul or Draconic for the Sorcerer subclass... probably Draconic, for a little extra damage on your Meteor Swarm and the slightly better "wings" (shimmering field of energy/fiery hair).

Dudes. Watch the movie. She is radiant with force and the occasional electrical discharge. Nothing ever catches fire from contact with her. She is raw COSMIC energy.

Why go Moon Druid 20? Then you are just a tank with no Hulk Smash ##DOUBLE SMITE##-ing! Shapechange can get you better stuff so that becomes your go to 24/7 and also Foresight.

For Bruce Banner / Hulk, you could do the reverse, where the character is a 'Hulk' part and Bruce is the alternate form.

You could do like 3 levels of (Wizard / Sorcerer) / X levels of Barbarian and pick up Alter Self. Then have the 'human' form be represented by Alter Self and his 'Hulk' form be the based form.

Maybe something like a full Orc to represent the Hulk form, then enough str and con as possible. Even as low as 4 or so you could pull off the basic gimmick.

As an added bonus, representing the human form via a concentration spell like Alter Self means if he gets hit (breaks concentration) he turns big and green. Which feels on point for Bruce/Hulk. With this setup, using his Rage is more a perk than a requirement.

As far as Barbarian paths, the Path of the Zealot has a lot of subclass features that feel like they would represent the Hulk pretty well. Especially Rage beyond Death, which make it feel like the more mad the Hulk gets the longer he will last.

Cutting one level out of that build means it either loses permanent flight or Aura of Protection.

She can, every round for one minute, deal +10 radiant damage to everyone within ten feet and +30 radiant damage to an opponent engaged in melee combat with her. This represents her activating her Binary power.

I like it, other than so much fire when other types of damage are more in-character. I think I'll build something quite similar, although I haven't decided yet between Divine Soul and (Lightning) Draconic Bloodline.

I was kind of against her having Aura of Protection, but it's growing on me. Affect on allies aside, it's a way for her to have nearly monk-like saving throws herself.

For Bruce Banner / Hulk, you could do the reverse, where the character is a 'Hulk' part and Bruce is the alternate form.

You could do like 3 levels of (Wizard / Sorcerer) / X levels of Barbarian and pick up Alter Self. Then have the 'human' form be represented by Alter Self and his 'Hulk' form be the based form.

You might be a genius, with the whole "beaten our of concentration makes him become the Hulk" thing. I will play around more with this.

Back to Black Widow, is it a crime for her to not have Reliable Talent?

Aasimar get permanent flight at 5th level. So Tier 2.

What aasimar are you looking at? Nothing in my books says they get flight on any kind of permanent basis.

I think it’s a season 9 adventure league specific thing for they’re doing for the Decent Into Avernus arc.

PvP based on AL ruleset.

[JNAProductions]

PvP based on AL ruleset.

That's a modified noun, that is.

Not sure why it's relevant at all to the thread, but it sure was posted. Because the thing is, most people don't play strict AL. Not even AL tables-I've seen plenty of tables that are officially classed as AL but let people join in with characters that weren't leveled up through AL, for instance. And there's a metric gakload of players who just don't play AL at all.

It's a valid way to play-but certainly not the only one. So to say "Build your character as if they were using a special ability from a single season of AL games!" isn't a very helpful suggestion.

If it's not relevant to you then feel free to ignore it. I don't understand you complaining because I dared talk about something not relevant to your choices of how to play the game.

[Draz74]

Stats for Black Widow (rough draft) are up. I felt like Level 14 was appropriate as a power level for her, even though that meant giving up 1 Monk level and 2 Rogue levels that would have been really really nice to have.

I also edited in stats for my take on the Alter-Self-as-Bruce-Banner version of Hulk. I also took the suggestion to switch him to Zealot rather than Totemic Barbarian. Losing some of the Totem features hurts, but it just seems more angry and more smash-y.
