This means that Goblin Slayer is a level 16 or 17 adventurer. Due to the guild having 10 ranks very closely associated with how strong an adventurer is, while D&D has 20 levels, each rank in the guild is going to correspond to 2 levels in D&D. His features and traits are dependent on his level. With that, the biggest hurdles of the character sheet are finished. Goblin Slayer starting as a Ranger also gives him proficiency in light and medium armor, shields, simple weapons (like the club we see him use) and martial weapons (like the shortsword he normally uses). Goblin Slayer would have Investigation to be able to see traps and alternate routes in caves, Perception to notice hidden enemies and objects, and Nature to assist with tracking and knowing what local plants and animals may be able to help him. Now to fill in Goblin Slayer’s proficiencies: his Outlander background gives proficiency in Athletics and Survival, while starting as a Ranger gives proficiency in saving throws for Strength and Dexterity, and also gives three skills from a list of available options. For the sake of roleplaying, having Charisma as the lowest stat makes sense for Goblin Slayer
Constitution, so that Goblin Slayer can contend with poisons and noxious fumes, and also to give him plenty of HP to work with, so even if a goblin hits him he can shrug it off.
Wisdom, so that Goblin Slayer can track goblins more easily and see any traps they may have set.Dexterity, as it both makes him harder to hit and makes his shortsword do more damage due to its Finesse trait, allowing it to deal damage with Dexterity instead of Strength.For Ability Scores, keep in mind that as a human, Goblin Slayer gets an extra +1 to all his scores.įrom highest to lowest, Goblin Slayer’s Ability Scores should probably be: With class, race, and background out of the way, the rest of the character sheet is mostly filling in the blanks and making a few choices from a list of options. He has shown some traits of both Ranger and Fighter, so it is likely that he is a multiclass adventurer with one level in Ranger to get goblins as a favored enemy, and the remaining levels in Fighter for solid general combat ability. That leaves Barbarian, Fighter, Ranger, and Rogue as possible class options. He has never shown the ability to use magic, so he probably isn’t one of the spellcasters, and due to his weapons and armor, he is unlikely to be a Monk. It doesn’t quite fit, since Outlanders are supposed to be so far removed from civilization that they might be hunter-gatherers or nomads, but the next closest option is Folk Hero, which doesn’t match up at all, aside from the character being from a rural town.įiguring out what class Goblin Slayer is requires some process of elimination. Of the default backgrounds in D&D’s Player’s Handbook, the closest to Goblin Slayer’s actual background is Outlander. This means that race is easily handled, but background is a bit trickier. The show makes it extremely apparent that Goblin Slayer is a male human from a rural village. When making a new character in D&D, one of the first things to figure out is their background, class and race. If everything else in the show is basically D&D, then what does that make the titular Goblin Slayer? Let's stat him out so you can play your own Goblin Slayer in your next session of tabletop! In D&D, Resurrection is a 7 th level necromancy, showing how high-level an adventurer she must be.Īs the story progresses, more and more examples of how much the show is like an actual D&D campaign pile up. In episode 8, Sword Maiden, a spellcaster famous for helping to defeat a Demon Lord, uses Resurrection on Goblin Slayer. In the first episode, the Wizardcasts Fire Bolt, a common D&D cantrip. From the dice motif, to the gear people use, to spells lifted right from the pages of the Player's Handbook, seemingly everything has a direct tie to the game. It's not just the adventuring structure of the world, either: Goblin Slayer leans into the references. In terms of D&D, this is already a pretty good party composition, and could be the starting point of any normal campaign. In the first episode alone, a girl goes to the adventuring guild to become a Priestess class adventurer, and meets up with 3 other adventurers: a Monk, a Fighter, and a Wizard. One of the most immediately-apparent things about Goblin Slayer from the first scene is that it is almost literally just a game of Dungeons & Dragons, but with an animation budget.
