Racial: 7′ to 9′ tall, Darkvision, Mirrored Respiration, Forest Camouflage, Sunshine and Clean Water, Made of Wood.After playtesting a very similar character named Treeroot at levels 1-3, I found playing a Treant Barbarian to be super fun in combat, but better as an NPC with such limited vocabulary and interactive skills.Īrmor Class 16 (Unarmored Defense), 18 with wood shield If you are just dying to play a Groot inspired character, be careful playing him with only a limited vocabulary, as it will eliminate nearly all interaction with other players. When hurt of even killed, Groot is able to regrow which is represented by the Durable feat and his racial Sunshine and Clean Water trait. To create Groot you also need to have Treant as a playable race and this homebrew works well ( link to reddit). As a DM, I would allow a player to stretch the limits of Druidcraft a little outside of combat too. Using Druidcraft, Thorn Whip and Entangle (from Magic Initiate feat ), we can give Groot the ability to grow flowers, produce light using spores and throw around enemies with his stretched arms without dipping into Druid. Some of Groot’s abilities would be easier to create as a druid, but he fights like a raging Barbarian. Groot is the toughest character of this bunch to build. Groot is able to sprout, dramatically increasing mass but also severely inhibiting movement. Groot has the ability to regenerate and can stretch and grow for attack and defensive purposes.
The origin of cinematic Groot is a mystery, but in the comics he is a Flora Colossus from Planet X.
Rocket and Star-Lord are both proficient with Vehicles (water) which you might want to change to Vehicles (space) if you are going to be in a sci-fi setting.With their lack of a dedicated healer and lower overall Armor Class scores, this group will have to work together to stay alive.More magic items equals less feats and vice versa. I gave each hero a blend of a total of magic items or extra feats to make them feel more like the hero they are inspired by.I used a standard array or base stats (27 point buy), which seemed to be more than enough versus how I felt really short on points when I was building the Avengers.They would work well in a mid level one-shot game that’s combat heavy or even for a heist scenario.These builds are inspired by the heroes versus trying to exactly recreate them.This week on the Campaign Trail I thought I’d offer DMs some premade characters to use or for players to look at for ideas when creating their next PC. Don’t forget magic is just advanced technology in the Marvel cinematic universe, so bring on the magic in a sci-fi setting too. Quill and his crew have few traditional “super” powers and are actually much closer to a bunch of mid level D&D characters running around creating trouble before saving the day. Trying to create super hero player characters for D&D has its flaws (but they’re still fun to build like these Avengers).
