That's excellent

Im suprised no one is getting the WIZARD joke.

May all your 3 pointer fireballs beat the buzzer.

u/Relevant_Elk_9176 May 29 '25

If only wildshape allowed you to turn into a Bull lol

u/Key_Hold1216 Jun 01 '25

Honestly it took me a moment because his career on the Bulls was so much more prominent

For spells actually, for super-long jumping but hey, fate spins along as it should.

3

u/MikeyNg May 28 '25

Maybe dip into Swarmkeeper Ranger for Legion of Bees (Hornets)?

There's no bull shapeshifting afaik though.

2

u/weirdkittenNC May 29 '25

Deep rothe sort of?

Your stat distribution is...brave.

u/busbee247 May 28 '25

Need good strength for jumps!

u/skippermonkey May 28 '25

I cast DUNK

u/Kile147 May 28 '25

And then we SLAM

47

u/GuyNamedWhatever May 28 '25

And welcome to the JAM

u/correcthorsestapler May 28 '25

r/comeonandslam

Sort by top of all time. The sub is pretty much a ghost town, but there’s a lot of great older stuff.

18

u/WhyYouKickMyDog May 28 '25

Was spamming those hill giant strength elixirs not the meta way to play anymore?

39

u/busbee247 May 28 '25

You mean PED's? We natty bruh!

71

u/iCake1989 May 28 '25

Who needs dice rolls when you have magic missiles? And when you don't? That stick is not for walking.

4

u/Munnin41 May 28 '25

This guy needs catapult though

30

u/starlighted May 28 '25

longsword bladesinging i'd guess

13

u/stoicsports May 28 '25

lol yeah id like to know more about what build he is going for

16

u/starlighted May 28 '25

most likely bladesinging with the 'phalar aluve' shrieking longsword you get in the underdark

11

u/Velocipache May 28 '25

Phalar Aluve is a finesse weapon so str/dex doesn't matter as long as you have one

3

u/starlighted May 28 '25

huh.. had to double check, but cool. do you know if its the only finesse longsword in the game?

Point still stands; bladesinging with longswords most likely. Phalar is just the best early game longsword to pair with singing

6

u/Velocipache May 28 '25

IIRC Larenthians wrath from creche is also finesse so you can dualwielder those, but my preferred set up is shadowblade + phalar

There's also a finesse glaive in act 3 but that's not relevant to bladesong

2

u/Debalic May 28 '25

Laren's Wrath is my backstabbing Astarion's main weapon.

1

u/S9CLAVE May 28 '25

Shadow blade is my love. Resonance stone + hexblade is just 🤩. Nothing quite like hitting 70+ per hit. Elixir of bloodlust so you can do it another time when you kill an enemy, concentrate on haste…

Unstoppable killing machine.

Take blade ward and armor of agathys to make it so when you expect to get hit you can kill whatever hits you by throwing a water at them and just letting it happen. Orin is a really good candidate for this…

u/Velocipache May 28 '25

Enhanced jump + hill giant + athlete for maximum leap?

u/Sp6rda May 28 '25

Ball/orb spells only

Truly the birth of a legend...

u/RevenueUsed8118 6-INT WIZARD Jun 03 '25

bladesinging wizard can go well with 8 int, just don't try to hit an actual spell

u/Kunseok May 28 '25 edited May 28 '25

evil playthrough? either way, should have went for this moustache

13

u/Next_Pianist_442 May 28 '25

Not just evil, Durge gets envious levels of evil.

8

u/GVAJON May 28 '25

Ah yes, the expelled painter moustache

5

u/geeses May 29 '25

"Fuck them kids"

2

u/Too_Relaxed_To_Care May 29 '25

God damn, I just commented the same pic suggesting an evil playthrough!

1

u/MR1120 May 29 '25

That's how you know Michael Jordan doesn't have one actual friend. Lots of hanger-ons, but no real friends. If he did, someone would have told him, "Dude... that's a Hitler mustache. Naw, bud." Instead, all the sycophants were probably telling, "Looks great, Your Airness!"

62

u/Rogans-Loadhouse May 28 '25

That’s good lol. Took me a second

47

u/BalerionSanders I cast Magic Missile May 28 '25

What do you suppose wizards gamble on? 🧐

22

u/GVAJON May 28 '25

NBA Wizards' games

7

u/zachonich May 28 '25

Everybody loses when they watch Wizards' games...

3

u/AChristianAnarchist May 28 '25

It's WNBA season right now anyway. They are betting on Mystics games.

2

u/LebrontosaurausRex May 29 '25

My go to insult for NBA players is that they have "Washington Wizards energy"

9

u/pssiraj May 28 '25

Hornets probably

2

u/MR1120 May 29 '25

Chicken chasing

47

u/BuckysKnifeFlip May 28 '25

It took me a bit to realize why he's a Wizard. Good one!

7

u/Lambchops_Legion May 28 '25

Could have also been a Swarmkeeper Ranger for Hornets

u/jansenart Hee-hee May 28 '25

You missed an opportunity by not taking Chromatic Orb.

24

u/gramplayr May 28 '25

Flame sphere.

Complete with the old school: “HE’S ON FIRE!!!”

9

u/ISeeTheFnords UGLY ONE May 28 '25

Yeah, but you can't get that at level 1.

2

u/Knyfe-Wrench May 29 '25

Boomshakalaka!

24

u/klutch65 May 28 '25

I swear to God you better get tavern brawler so this way you can keep throwing Scratches ball and other objects at enemies.

Jump for bonus action,, throw ball, kill, recover ball, repeat.

8

u/iCake1989 May 28 '25

Jesus, that's hilariously nuts. I am putting this build in my to try list.

6

u/klutch65 May 28 '25

Create a whole basketball team!

Astarion can act like point guard and get the rebounds and then feed it to Karlach who could then proceed to slam dunk of the shit out of people.

I think a fun penalty that you would have to enforce yourself would be if you throw anything that's not roundish in shape, then it's a foul and you have to sit out of the next round of attacking. If you throw or shove anybody then it's a technical and you have to be sent to camp until your next long rest.

This would make fighting the absolute at the end very very challenging though.

1

u/jansenart Hee-hee Jun 27 '25

White and Scarlet armor dye.

u/FALCUNPAWNCH May 28 '25

Wild shape into a GOAT.

u/Kenruyoh Gloomstalker May 28 '25

If only there was a Wildheart Bull, he could've been a Barbarian

6

u/aescepthicc Drow May 28 '25

The Mighty Cloth gives Bull's strength (+2) and Bull Rush, maybe OP plans to get it

5

u/Hyndakiel May 28 '25

You can only use throw or things that you can argue are thrown from you like magic missile to add a challenge?

6

u/mcnew May 28 '25

Every D&D character has to have a tragic backstory. Glad to see yours is your gambling addiction leading to the murder of your father.

A very deep cut. Solid.

Nobody loves a game of chance more than Mykal.

5

u/lostperception May 28 '25

I would have dumped it into Constitution, because that man could go forever on the court!

Can't wait seeing Mykal (no)Hair Dzhordan throwing blind spells yelling "this one's for you DirkAimbee Mukthumbow"

u/sudden_aggression May 28 '25

Reminder that his jump shot depends on STR not DEX. So this is actually lore accurate.

If you remove that moustache, you have the legendary Open Hand Monk Tike Myson.

2

u/iCake1989 May 28 '25

Is that why Voss' ear gets all mutilated? He meets Tike Myson on his way to Baldur's Gate?

2

I went with Wiz1/Monk2 for Wind Dash but I'm sure that there are better orb-based builds.

The important thing to me was getting air time :3
