Hello, new posting here, I've seen a couple posts on how to build Henshin Heroes in 5e but nothing on 3.5e, so I wanna see what you guys got for building Kamen Riders specifically.
I just got into 3.5e recently, but I am not that much of a builder, however this type of character concept always interests me, and would be super cool to see.
As for powers/abilities the character needs, it is things like these:
- The ability to go from a lesser "normal" form into a transformed armored form, preferably the second being really tanky or capable of taking a lot of hits.
- The ability to fight really well without weapons, plenty of riders have weapons but most of their fights are weaponless.
- The ability to do a really powerful charged up attack, basically, a rider kick.
- (Optional) Some kind of gimmick or way of switching playstyles, as if changing forms or such.
Since 3.5e is very much medieval in flavor and style, I think riders like Kuuga, Agito and Wizard will be easiest to try to emulate, but just going for the general concept instead of emulating a specific rider is enough and would help give me huge leaps in how building a character like this looks like. A 3rd level character would be more than enough, but feel free to share a full character guide if that's what you'd like (and if it's not too much trouble, please tell me why you chose each option). Thank you all in advance.
