I mean, was he? Dude was very good at picking up on enemy weaknesses. And at least in the beginning, a bit of gunpowder was enough to significantly inconvenience the bad guy.
I love how this build is just a reminder that Rick O'Connell is NOT uniquely gifted or talented or trained to handle monsters, he just refuses to roll over and die about it.
"He's not very good at fighting mummies, he just does it a lot." Sounds like some of the people I work with. Been doing their job for a long time, but still somehow suck at it.
Still great and feed the algorithim. Add a librarian wizard, smooth talking but out his depth bard and a completely done paladin to fight an evil cleric and you got a classic campaign.
"Have you heard about the Gunner feat?" Aaaaaaaahhhhhhgggghhhh! "I'll take that as a no. . ." *AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!*
I honestly didn't see a difference until now, I thought it was just Copy/Paste of Crossbow Expert because some DMs were pedantic arseholes for people wanting Lara Croft/Nathan Drake builds
This certainly seems like the kind of character who'd fit great in an Eberron campaigh. No magic, but perfect for an incredibly violent pulp detective campaign. Arcane wards? Huh, neat, wonder how that interacts with some bullet. Gotta hold the line against some charging house agents? The wizard ain't gonna help you much there buckaroo, you gotta slam fire a crossbow and hope for the best.
Y'know, it tracks that he's entirely ineffective at actually hurting mummies. It wasn't him that did the damage, it was his librarian wizard gf/wife. Just have her cast magic weapon out of the ancient evil book and O'connell is golden.
"Brendan Fraser is the ultimate leading man. He's like Harrison Ford if Harrison Ford ever seemed to be enjoying himself." God, that is so freaking true! XD But seriously, man, awesome video. I love that you stuck to keeping him as close to his movie counterpart as possible by just keeping him as a regular guy because, let's face it, Rick's two main methods of dealing with threats are to either scream at them or shoot them... Sometimes both... Edit: I was the 666th like... Make of that what you will...
Quote of the day: "Brendan Fraser is the ultimate leading man. He's like Harrison Ford if Harrison Ford ever seemed to be enjoying himself." Yeah, you're not wrong there.
I don't care how many times this gets reuploaded to cut out claimed content, I will keep repeating this; *Brendan Fraser is a wonderful man and deserves so much love after all the shit he has gone through!*
@@Psy_Ro He was sexually assaulted and then blacklisted out of Hollywood for speaking out about it. It was, quite frankly, disgusting what he went through.
Fire storm herald barbarian with battle master fighter with unarmed for combos or maybe champ for unarmed and dueling since he does have a sword, maybe just fire barbarian
@@budinhapalmieri Sol doesn't really rage, he's more jaded and annoyed than angry. Potemkin or Baiken would make good barbarians though. Guilty Gear magic comes from skill, so I could see most characters from that being fighter wizard easily enough, although draconic soul sorcerer would also make a lot of sense for Sol. It would also be interesting to try and limit the use of the monk class only to characters canonically using ki (May, Chipp, Kliff, Baiken, Jam, Anji, and I guess any from Rev2 I didn't know about.)
@@Nasko_Nikolov Kensei monk (6) and berserker barbarian (14) would be my first idea, but there's certainly a few other ways to do it. (The 14 levels in berserker get her a counterattack, and many of Baiken's moves require her to defend to attack. Although frenzy gives you exhaustion levels, it fits that EX mode she used to have where her health slowly drained. The kensei levels give her magical damage, step of the wind, and patient defence, although you can certainly risk only taking 4 for an extra ASI as the odds of the DM giving you magic items are usually quite good.)
Champion fighter to get both unarmed and dueling (thank Buda Palmieri for that, it was their idea) plus draconic soul sorcerer red dragon, lots of fire magic, haste, and jump. For Ky I want to say a paladin wizard because the flavour is correct, but he'd have to be MAD (INT for lightning spells, CHA for paladin requirements, STR to simply be allowed to mix them, meaning DEX isn't gonna be as good as it maybe should be for him) and that's never good. You could make him a sorcerer as well, but Ky studies magic like most people in the GG universe, despite later changes he didn't simply have it like gears do. Eldritch knight could also work but his lightning stuff wouldn't be as good. Chipp would be easy, just mix shadow monk and assassin rogue, because his attempts to be president certainly do smack of only costing 25GP and a week's work ;)
@@meduimrareberries5888 probably also high wisdom because he lives among animals and high dexterity since he doesn't wear heavy armor. I'm thinking he's probably be a Ranger/Barbarian multiclass, so strength would be important as well.
Gotta watch again, we've got an obligation that comes with loyalty. Edit: if you do swing this way for build ideas, I'd recommend Volga, a Dragon Knight who popped up in Hyrule Warriors, then left the series after the spinoff was over.
I would love a Dread Pirate Roberts build! I imagine making a character who is a great duelist, fistfighter AND very intelligent would be tricky, but I'd love to see you tackle it! Though the Man in Black is as much an example of a character with 20s in all stats as an anime character.
I loved "both" of the Mummy movies, so this build was a delight that I'll likely use for my own character in a future campaign. Thank you very much for it. Also, this will be Day 3 of me requesting a build for the Soldier from TF2. I'm fascinated to see how you would translate his destructive RPGs, ability to do insane movement via rocket-jumping, and total disregard for his own safety into 5e. Love ya, man.
Home brew an rpg (heavy two handed ranged 100/300) Cavalier fighter variant human (tough feat) and to finish it always yell AAaAAAaAaaAaaaaaAaAaAaAa whenever you charge into battle
@@werewolftapus7630 I was wanting to avoid homebrew, since if that's allowed one could just make a whole class to mimic Soldier, and either way it feels like a cop-out. Tough feat variant human might work, though. Also, why Cavalier fighter?
Well, it seems I need to remake my suggestion now that there is a reupload: What about a build for the Jackie Chan Adventures' Jackie Chan version of Jackie Chan? The Talismans should be an interesting challenge to adapt.
I'm back. Edit: So, something I commented before the re-upload, I love the Mummy Trilogy. I legit grew up with this and own all of the movies' DVD. My fav as a kid was Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. I really liked the dragon. And the dragon's daughter. Like he said, the casts for these movies are very attractive
Missed out on the chance to say "Shoot that gun with all your swagger." but overall great video and a fun character to play if you dont like min max builds. Never saw the first upload so thank you for re-uploading it.
Rick not having any "magic damage" to just start chopping up Imhotep was a great plot-point. They had to actually FIGURE OUT how to beat him WHILE THEY WERE FIGHTING HIM. It's one of the greatest climactic fight scenes in cinema, and a great model for a TTRPG boss fight, if you can pull it off. Check out the Brainstorm rules in the Atomic Robo RPG. They're great for this sort of thing.
Kind of surprised that we didn't make him a ranger, rougue, flavoring all the magical spells as the different weapons he uses. Not that the build is wrong in anyway I just considered it would be an interesting alternative build for the character
I was wondering why this came up again. Well, as I mentioned on the original, Tasha's gives 2nd level Monks Dedicated Weapon, to make a single martial weapon (or simple ranged weapon) into a monk weapon for them, which can be changed on a short rest. So, whether guns are crossbows or not, he should be able to use them well.
Alright, so maybe I can actually get some looks here. Episode 293 of the Fire Emblem stats: Rick O'Connell. He's basically Indiana Jones without a whip so he's pretty easy. He's good at brawling, bows (guns), and authority and his weaknesses are in both types of magic and flight (which his other team members are better at). He's pretty weak for the most part in terms of stats but he's a lucky guy.
Need to re-upload my comment... Hey, this is one neat concept. I won't even mention how you should make a Conan the Barbarian build, Based off of Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1982, special edition movie, complete with director commentary for additional character insight.
Tulok, how dare you reupload this video, for a character and franchise I adore, and make me have to reiterate that you could definitely pull off suspenders? The chutzpah, I can't believe it!
Weekly Build Request Re-upload: Still don't have a connection to the Mummy series (you'd think after two days I'd think of something) but please make a build for 2B from Nier Automata. Not only is the game a super fun existential nightmare but given the continued popularity of the character, the algorithm should like it. But I will apologize for having to inevitably add True Strike to your next 100 scripts... My bad.
My all-time favorite movie starring my number 1 favorite actor, i was actually looking to make him in a Call of Cthulhu game some time but seeing him here in 5e!? I'll take it! Also, could we see a robotman or Ardeth Bay build next?
If you think I'm gonna waste my time by rewatching 11 minutes of prime himbo material and commenting on the video to please the algorithm then you would be absolutely correct. I'd gladly do it again too.
Safe to Say a standardized disclaimer involving guns & crossbows to save your voice might be an idea. Just edit in the same bit at beginbin... Maybe all the rules for newcomers.... 1 way to extend runtime too? I been here since episode 1 so I'm well versed & when I do a build just assume crossbow = gun & ignore all the gun feats
More .hack is good .hack. For accessibility, Haseo makes the most sense (since GU can be played on PC and Quarantine costs about $200). Kite would probably be simpler... though then again, where he only has one class in his game, he gets his powers based on Gear (Haseo's gear is all passives, save for the "special maneuver" some weapons can do). So... Kite would probably be an Artificer?
@@johndipietro9301 I would think Rogue Sorcerer, Rogue Warlock, or Monk with either those two, myself. Probably Warlock, since he technically gained Data Drain from Aura, making her his patron. Also, to be fair, he can emulate them. Edit, he could also be a Battlemaster Fighter, at least one of his Twinblade skills is that aoe maneuver
What is it with mummies and curses? Why don’t they ever grant wishes (even Monkey’s Paw style) or offer some sort of boon? Is it even possible to curry their favor? It just feels like a gap in storytelling potential.
They can grant the very specific wish of getting a bunch of treasure, with the Monkey's Paw twist of getting killed by an ancient anti-grave robber trap
