How to Play Static Shock in Dungeons & Dragons (DC Build for D&D 5e) 

Hey there is a photosensitive version that I uploaded without flashing lights in the annotation.

So fun fact in the comics Vergil actually plays Dungeons and Dragons. So it seems fitting for him to have a build.

You know who would make an amazing D&D build? Ms. Frizzle! I'm thinking a wizard, possibly an artificer, with very high Intelligence and Charisma.

Remember when the pilot to a kids cartoon had a kid jumped into a gang for protection and the police fired on them?

Remember watching this as a kid, as well as the Batman beyond crossover

Sad to see the Saturday episodes go but glad it ended on Static Shock, good build and good kid

Huh? Didn’t expect him. What a shock to my system... Anti-Life Justifies my Hate.

If only you could use Tenser's Floating disk for personal movement.

Virgil, as a D&D player himself, would appreciate that he can be playable. Also, I didn't know that the sorcerer cap stone would be so bad, but I'm glad the storm sorcerer is a pretty good choice. I'm saying this because, staying out, I want to play the thirteen classes to their cap stones. I know, it sounds stupid.

The metamatic to change damage types would have been so useful here. Lighting Meteor Swarm?

I would've recommended Wish for one reason only. It lets you cast any spell of level 8th or lower at 8th level and is the only way to cast wish while guaranteeing that it never burns out and you never suffer the exhaustion effects. This opens up almost every other spell in the game for whatever is the most thematic thing of your choosing.

I would recromend dipping storm cleric for their channel divinity that makes lightning dmg automatically roll max

I remember when I was a teen one of the local channels use to play this back to back with X-Men Evolution and that was like my entire jam.

Fun fact Virgil himself (in the comics) plays dnd

Know what would be a real shock? A build for Anderson Cooper in DnD! That would be tubular!

Well since wish is every spell the spell you could use it to cast lightning damage spells that aren't on your list.

I was expecting with the lackluster Sorcerer cap you were going to do a two level dip into Tempest Cleric. Maximize lighting damage, hell yes.

Got an interesting one from the Disney Cannon - Milo Thatch from "Atlantis: The Lost Empire". Milo, let's see.... Mapmaker and *Linguist!* who followed in his grandfather's footsteps, searching for Atlantis. Eventually, he finds it, and has to save it. So, what does Milo need - Needs to be intelligent - guy knows plenty of languages, both Modern and Ancient, including Atlantian in the written form. He also knows how machines work, and how to make them work. Also, did I forget to mention, Milo knows a *lot* of languages? It might be important to make sure he knows as many as possible in this build. Needs to be Charismatic - guy uses a lot of diplomacy, befriends the Chief's Daughter, rallied and then lead a rag-tag band of misfits (to say nothing about getting them to side with him) and Atlantian warriors in an effort to save the Princess, and *spoiler* becomes her consort. Needs to be Quick - Milo does have a knack for avoiding harm, mainly be being quick enough to dodge it. Is a Pretty Good Swimmer - There is a scene where Milo swims with Kida, which also involves him holding his breath for a while. So, he's in Good Shape at any rate, tying in with the above statement about him being quick. Not that physically strong - Milo is as skinny as a twig, when compared to the more muscular members of the group, especially compared to the Big Bad, who has a more physical build than Milo. Failed an Insight Check - Doesn't seem to realize just how interested in money the rest are, until things go bad when the group's leader's true motives are revealed to Milo.

I have to thank you Tulok. You have made my childhood proud.

Oh shit I actually asked for this one a while ago! I didnt know floating disc worked the way it does at the time tho lol

So happy to see a Static build. Such an underappreciated hero.

"forgot you existed all the time" Does that mean the next episode is the mutant Forget-Me-Not? Because that's kind of obscure.

I first watched this show years ago, but I during quarantine I decided to start rewatching it and I've been loving it. It's really good.

Let's head out to the ends of the 'verse with some Firefly builds. River Tam and Malcolm Reynolds in particular. Don't leave us Browncoats out in the black.

oh man, I used to watch this guy all the time as a kid! thanks for doing a video on him!

Deep cut to School House Rock. My admiration for Tuloc grows with each installment.

Tulok I just don’t think it’s said enough your openings for every episode is meme gold

4 builds in 1 week! Slow down you magnificent man! I can't take this much awesome at once!

These Saturday vids were a shock to the system. Love them and can't wait for them again.

Yay, Static. Honestly, I would love to see Richie too. Gear was always a favorite part of the show.

Some roses are white, Like the cliffs of Dover, Please cover Asta, The kid from Black Clover. PS: Thank you for covering Static Shock! I loved watching this show growing up. 👍

The Elemental Spell metamagic from the Class Feature Variants UA would fix some of the limits of spell choice in Sorcerer builds, Tulok. It lets you change the elemental damage of any spell that deals fire, cold, lightning, thunder, or acid damage. Turn Fireball into Lightningball, for example.

Hell Yes! One of my Favorite Saturday Morning Cartoons !!!

Ha, cool! Dont know if you know this but Virgil Hawkins actually plays D&D in yhe comics. Neat that he's being D&Dized. But you know who else you can D&Dize... 🤔 I think you know whom im gonna say. 1984s Conan the Barbarian, the movie version.

I didn't knew I needed that episode. Until I saw that episode.

This build is ... Wait for it .. *Shocking* 10/10 Humor, ComdeyGold

You can use Rival Intern from Acquisitions Incorporated for the background it has History and Investigation.

Awesome episode! Can't wait to try the build out! Also, you should try Jin from Ghost of Tsushima!

One of the things I love about 5E is that if you're not really feeling any of the ninth level spells, you can get away with just grabbing a lower level spell and upcasting it with your new slots. It's entirely viable!

I formally request that you build Chip Skylark. For shinier teeth in your next campaign, maybe.

Yo. Static is my favorite super hero. He's the reason I have dreds. Thanks so much for making Virgil. Making it harder for me when I start making my Pathfinder videos next month tho...

Phenomenal, I love this show and character!

Don't lie, this is the Tulok video you've been waiting for.

WE.NEED.TOP.10.BUILDS

Taking some psychic damage spells like Mind Whip or Synaptic *Static* isn't *too* divergent from the source material if you just flavor it as electricity directly targeting nervous system. Hell, you can flavor other OOC spells as Justice League tech that you power up.

For a level 9 spell. What about take Wish but use it to cast Call Lighting at level 8. 8d10 damage that keeps on pumping.

Yo Tulok, when are we getting a Matilda build. She's definitely a sorcerer.

Definitely love Static, waiting for an Aizen / Soul Reaper build

Would love to see more Mortal Kombat builds like Fujin, Shang Tsung, Nightwolf, Noob Saibot, Kenshi or Erron Black

This is such a good build! I really like your ideas :)

Episode #184 of the Fire Emblem stats: Virgil Hawkins. Static is an electricity user so he's a good fit as a reason user. In addition, he's a magnetism user that can fly, so flight and pretty much all weapons are strengths of his. His only weakness is in heavy armor because metal and lightning do not mix well with flesh. His dexterity and magic are his highest stats and nothing's low.

Hay one of my requests! Thanks Tolek. There are three other builds I would love to see. 1 classic WarGreymon (Digimon Adventures) 2. Hiei (YuYu Hakusho) 3. Kirito (Sword Art Online) That last one might be a little tricky considering how there are five different versions of Kirito (Sword Art Online Kirito, ALfheim Online Kirito, Gun Gale Online Kirito, Ordinal Scale Kirito, and Underworld Kirito.) I don't know if you would do only one build or do a build for all five in one video or do a build for each one in separate videos. Then again given how similar the original Sword Art Online Kirito, Ordinal Scale Kirito, and Underworld Kirito are the builds for those three would probably just be the same. So you probably would stick with original SAO Kirito over the other two. I just would really love to see a bill for Katie toe for D&D. And a build for the first two on my list as well.

That last joke about being forgotten really hurt inside.

Guessing before I watch Variant human, storm sorcerer to level 20. I honestly cant think of anything else you'd need, Static is a simple guy in the grand scheme of things.

For replacing the 20th level of Sorcerer, would Static be a Rogue or a Bard? Either gets the extra skill. 20th level is a bit late for Vicious Mockery, though I suppose the level could be folded in earlier?

Hey this also basically works for rail gun from a certain scientific rail gun, just swap the mobility abilities for more damage

Every time Tulok makes a Variant Human character build, take a shot. Of water. Stay hydrated people.

Your dope and make dope content. Thx for remembering Static even if DC forgets.

Instant like for the video. Loved this show growing up. Wonder how you would do his partner Gear?

yay this will be my next one shot build

"Forgot you existed all the time..." sounds like a Kahlan Amnell build is in the future... Side note I just got finished with the 11th book in the Sword of Truth series, and I've been toying with how to make her and Richard. *edit 1 misspelled name *edit 2 clarified who I wanted to make.

Hey Tulok, I don't know if you take Suggestions but I think Talion from the recent Middle Earth games could be really interesting. I could see it as perhaps a Monster Slayer ranger combined with an echo knight.

Flashing light warning peeps! Epilepsy warning , really this one may need to be warned altogether, not even done watching it X_X 4:02-4:04 4:13-4:15 4:58-4:03 5:12-5:17 5:40-5:48 5:52-6:04 6:38-:645 7:18-7:27 7:48-7:51 7:58-8:03 Feel free to ad to this, was just doing this during my lunch break X_X gotta head back to work

Video 15 in a row, Master Chief, Noble 6 or Jun A266. Tulok. Plz. Imma keep going.

It would be fun to see a space ghost or birdman build, i don't know if you have done either of these yet.

Dude ... Gear is a Arficer Artillerist ... 🤯 ,,, Backpack ( turret ) ... Great Videos

First love watching your videos, they're helpful when I had ideas for characters and NPCs for my campaign. If it's alright could I request making a Mugen from Samurai Champloo build?

I don't know if you read this, uhh you don't really have to. I saw your hot take on EXP to Level 3. I don't watch these builds to play the characters, but to learn the skills and abilities that characters can have. I'm mostly waiting on ways to light my fists ablaze in lightning so I'm thinking path of Zealot Barb with some Unarmed fighter mixed in just to go wild. I'm just waiting on a campaign that wants to actually see someone run a half elf like that. (yes a half elf, not to be any character or to power game, but to enjoy what I wanna do as some outsider that can be awkward.)

I'd almost be tempted to figure out a way to fit in a level of bard, just for the sick theme songs. Almost.

Did nobody tell him about Tenser’s Floating Disk? Sure, it doesn’t get everything Static’s disk does, but it does fit flavor-wise.

Static remains a fun superhero that I wish they used more in the comics.

Finally some love for virgil, he deserves it

when you can get the 20th level sorcerer ability by dipping 3 levels into another class (warlock) you know something got messed up

Great, Schoolhouse Rock intro!!

Static was just a fucking amazing show

He did it! Keep finally did it!

I wish there was two levels in Cleric for this. Storm Cleric can max out a source of Lightning or Thunder damage once per long rest with its Channel Divinity

Can we get a Princess Ruto build? I have been playing Hyrule Warriors and Ruto seemed like such a fun D&D build

Why not take the Elemental Spell Metamagic feature from the CFVUA? It would allow you to use a Lightning Meteor Swarm

You should do one for Martian Manhunter or Silver Surfer

Finally!!! The best show ever

I would love to see a Ghost Rider build.

Discord, Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony next please! 😁

For 9th level you could take Power Word Kill and flavor it as a shock so powerful it stops your enemies heart

Have you ever played Katana Zero? If not, then I'd definitely recommend it, and maybe make a build based off the main character.

I have one question. do you think it is better to go Monk first then storm sorcerer or storm sorcerer then Monk and which monk subclass do you think would be better for something that is clearly too booming to hide? I was thinking Way of the Drunken Master as a more hit and run fighter.

being able to make electricity/electro magnetism + metal ball bearings = living railgun

Wish= call lightning

0 dislikes? You deserve it king.

Surprised you didn't make a joke on his name. Also, you maybe should've added some technomagic from the Modern Magic UA, because Virgil can interact with tech. He can power devices and read off info from discs.

I'd like to see some more Fmab characters, like wrath, greedling, or Von hohenheim

9:49 Damn, ok man I didn't _ask_ to be called out

I love all the jabs at DC for forgetting about Static and pretty much everyone in the Dakotaverse

Hmm, what about dropping a few levels of sorcerer for bard? Vicious Mockery would be very Static

NGL, when you said give him Hold Monster as the 9th level spell, I thought, 'Why no get Meteor Swarm and do what you did with Gilgamesh's build?'

I suppose if one wanted to stretch the flavor taking Power Word Kill at nine level could be that big burst he used on the Shadow man in season one. I remeber it drained Static very much to used and was just a blast of energy.

When do we get a video on how to play Tulok the Barbarian (despite the name I imagine his actual class is sorcerer because he’s a CHAD)

I’d love to see a Gorr the God Butcher build from the Thor comics.

I never understood why Static Shock wouldn't magnetize multiple manhole covers together as he flew to later use as shields.
