How to Play Alphonse Elric in Dungeons & Dragons (Fullmetal Alchemist Build for D&D 5e) 

Isn't Ed just as much a nerd as him? Edit: I had to read that over again, nevermind.

I'm pretty proud of that

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING CALLING ME A PIPSQUEAK

Sasquatch Studios IM NOT TINY YOU SHRIVELED UP OLD HAG

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 *WHO THE HELL YOU CALLING SO SMALL YOU DON'T EVEN SEE HIM ON THE SIDEWALK*

"There are no rules!" *undead abomination crawls out of your symbol* "Theres one rule!"

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Have you considered building up any wrestler character into DnD? Like Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns?

@@vellothedreepy5930 he said that he won't do real people. However, he has done Incineroar so just make that build a Varient human with tavern brawler (probably berserker Barbarian instead of storm herald) and ya good

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 2. We can't forget a lovable female dog now can we. Also dare you to just do a whole series on just homunculus and father. Be kinda fun too.

There was ONE RULE guys. ONE.

Lol. I had some fun there

Twas a cheeky move XD

.... Not sure I get the joke

@@noblesseoblige319 tulok has a... Penchant for using Variant Human. A lot. And while... Technically Alphonse is a human, he's a warforged and everyone totally woulda rioted if he'd sticked to it.

Noblesse Oblige Tulok uses the Variant Human a lot for these builds and some of his viewers get annoyed with how frequently he does, so he was playing on that when he first said Alphonse was a Variant Human before revealing he was ACTUALLY gonna be a Warforged

Rip

Edd.....ward? Why does it hurt?

@@wolfmantheimpaler 😭

Literally just shed a few tears over Nina and Alexander... It always too soon.

How many years has it been at this point? Since the episode from the first series aired I mean. It will always be too soon.

Hell yeah

Also get an Artificer, a Monk/Wizard, a Red Draconic Sorcerer with Elemental Adept (Fire), and a Rogue with Sharpshooter.

Erik W. S. Winry, Ling, Mustang and Hawkeye? I’m pretty sure.

@@Munchkin.Of.Pern09 you're right about most of those, but I wouldn't give Ling any wizard levels. Just monk and a bit of fighter maybe. The Monk/Wizard in this was supposed to be Alex Armstrong.

Erik W. S. I.... can sort of see it? I mean Alex doesn’t really scream monk to me, per say, but I sort of get it? Although actually that combo could also have been Mei Chang now that I think about it.

Maybe? Perception is all 5 of them senses.

You can flavor it as him having a great sense of smell amd tracking people like a dog.

@@eduardobarros3986 "Flavor" I see what you did there.😀

It's technical and frankly inaccurate, not that I'm dissing the build or anything. One of my folks' closest friends is diabetic with a gluten allergy. She also happens to be a damn good baker despite not being able to taste any of it (without a shot if she's willing to cheat, anyway), but I guess maybe she's just been at it so long she has Expertise in that skill~

@@Saiavinn I'm sorry to inform you, but it is you who is inaccurate on this. Baking versus Culinary are two separate cooking beasts.. Just ask that friend or any person who has gone to culinary arts and they will tell you that baking is an exact science. You're not tasting the dough, the yeast, the flour, while you are mixing, kneading, letting it proof. It's all about measurements, science and reactions. You can be a master baker and never eat a slice because you are searching for how the bread reacts to heat and the outcome. When inventing a new dish on the saute station, you are tasting everything, to combine them in a symphony. That is why any chef who goes to a culinary school has to earn a bakers mastery separate versus everything else.

You were supposed to TAKE balance from the game, not leave it in only slightly higher than usual AC!

You were my favorite, juggernaut. I loved you.

James Bearden he was the juggernaut, bitch 😥

@@jamesbearden3468 preferred envoy personally. Hate the new warforged

Personally I like the new Warforged. To me, it mixes the best of both

Well, we now know how the wish works out.

Right???

this is al,not ed.

@@TheSpencermacdougall Sorry been years since I watched it, or talked about it.

Darknut boi

Sounds like the perfect class for Envy

The look on mine when I snuck in the piccolo build. He litterally focused my guy a whole session and I ended with 4 hit points. It's too good.

You guys should probably either ok this with your dm or do one on something they haven’t seen

I mean, honestly, to me it matters less that you make a build based around an anime character and more just how ludicrously op said build would be. The only downside to this build for the dm is potential arguments over what sort of shaping shenanigans you can and cant pull off. It doesnt really seem like a game breaker otherwise.

@@chrishubbard64 we came up with limitations. He made a sort of wild magic table. And I'd have to roll on the table to see how solid constructs would be. It was pretty good

You say that like it was an insult rather than an accurate description

Definitely needs the Athlete and Lucky feats

Toon Force is really hard to make in any game. The ability to negate damage by claiming it’s funny is wacky.

@@LocalMaple If anime characters need all stats at 20... acme characters can just put an infinity symbol as HP

@@LocalMaple Isn't that just the cutting words ability from college of lore bards?

Trickster Cleric maybe? But what the frak would his race be?

NGL I was just casually scrolling through the comments and was like "I don't remember making this one"

Binging ATLA right now, just finished season 1

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 honestly anyone from that show would be hype to see a build for.

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Uncle Iroh please. Nothing would make me happier.

@@piorfino Seconded.

@@piorfino amen!

It's pretty fun. And not as complicated as the video length might suggest.

Tulok the Barbrarian it seems great to play

Hopefully this helps

Maybe

Called Warforged at least

You know me so well

Welp, he was

Cant stop wont stop

Tulok the Barbrarian pls don’t stop😂

You should play Descent Into Avernus, it has a whole section dedicated road max style vehicles

Maybe? Theres just not a lot of driving mechanics I can do in a build other than land vehicle proficiency

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 true use of cavalier?

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 That's fair

v13kobold isn't that basically just Dark Sun?

Sorry, theres a lot of anime back up, I can only binge so fast

D&D isn't ready for one of the "Supreme Ones" 😁

Too OP!!! The Supreme one would need to go WAY past lvl 20 imo! But this is Tulok we’re talking about, rules are meant to be broken!!!

For start, we need to go beyond 20 int and find shenanigans that let him have an absurd number of high level necromancy related spells. He really isnt that powerful outside of those two areas relatively speaking as he was an rp build. If he were an epic encounter he would be obnoxious in the extreme as the dm would have to play him as abusing the heck out of every situation for maximum cheese as thats how he plays. He gathers as much intel as he can, studies your skills and standard strategies, and counters them hard. As for class? He is way past lich. Im pretty sure he counts as beyond demilich as he is a super secret lich class that involves being a master of spellcasting. So no clue what you could do with that.

Sounds awesome. 5e mechanics? Will character creation be a similar approach to this series or maybe some homebrew?

Doomguy in March!

Cells or souls?

I'd love to see Scar, Roy Mustang, Armstrong Family [Major General Armstrong (Ice Queen) & Major Armstrong (Strong Arm Alchemist)], & possibly King Bradley And while I know that you mainly do Player Character Builds, I'd love to see you tackle a "BBEG" & create a "Father" type "BBEG"

Awesome, I aim to please!

Variant human battlemaster fighter/Order domain cleric works nicely

In the system Mutant Chronicles, Bauhaus (a faction) actually have enforcers that resemble Judges from the Dredd-universe pretty much 1-to-1 :P

@@Zer0Dakilla you said grimdark and DIDN'T ask for a *SPACE MARINE!?!?!* For shame.....

He's not really religious, which hasn't stopped me from doing Cleric before, but intelligence feels more in line with Al than wisdom

Sidenote I'd think it works thematically too with "stepping into the realm of the gods" and the atheistic nature of Ed at least lol

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 I mean use the Theurgy Wizard subclass, it takes some cleric spells, which might work in the build, but mainly it gets you some ac and resistances, as well as possibly giving you a very alchemy centric level from the cleric domain. I wasn't suggesting to use cleric sorry, I guess I wasn't clear.

It’s extremely busted and most dms won’t allow it.

Holding off on the One For All squad, but will be doing more MHA soon

Tulok the Barbrarian Awesome, thanks for the response. I shall be awaiting them eagerly.

Calling it. Momo is an Artificer.

@@MaJunior00 The Lemur?

@@ProfLoomis Momo Yaoyorozu is the girl with the creation quirk.

Awesome, I always encourage mixing them up a bit

How dare you ignore Sheska?

He has already done Reinhardt, actually. I'd also love to see Doomguy tho

I did Rienhardt and Doom Guy will be out with Doom Eternal

Tulok the Barbrarian I am now moister than an oyster. Thank you. And I love your hair (both head and face hair).

Thank you!

Roy would just use fireball and nothing but fireball

Keninja Greninja why use any other spell when fireball is an option though? Lol

I always recommend people start a Pathfinder channel. I'm sticking to 5e, it's what I know the best, but theres definitely room on the internet for another TTRPG builder, and the Pathfinder/Starfinder systems have SO many options.

@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Dang. Still, fair enough. The amount of stuff Pathfinder 1e pumped out is enough to put anyone off. Thanks for replying :)

You sure? Abilities up to level 10: Really slow alchemy (works but is bad) Magic stone that gives people buffs (not really) Learns Polymorph (nope)

Its been a year but who Cares. From what ive read from/about it the new Avater: Legends rule Set might be what your looking for. Afaik it has more Open actions (relying on Training, pushing your luck etc.) that can be described however you Like (i.e. bending the Earth to get somewhere high for Avatar and transmuting whatever is around you for FMA). Also: one Problem with Putting FMA in DnD is that you basically NEED spells for Most characters which means you can run Out of spellslots even though Alchemists are only ever Limited by their surroundings and creativity. Avatar: Legends (once again afaik) doesnt have This Problem

@@norikwiese8900 I’ll have to look into that!

@@negativejam2188 you should be able to easily find the quick Start Guide online. Kickstarter Backers already have the full PDF but i dont know when that releases Outsider of KS
