He has levels in ranger in 5e. Rangers are THE worst class in 5e by light years. My friend's 1st ed character could kick the character's ass in a round flat. Hell, my current character in 3.5 (Cleric 5, Church Inquisitor 9) could give him the boot.

So you'd send a sonichu, an abomination unto the gods into the abyss where only the demons (devil trolls) would appreciate it? be still my beating heart
I know 5e, so here's my take on his sheet: it's an ungodly Mary Sue that any DM worth their salt would kill off.
First, the Background section. A character's Background in 5e not only tells about what their life was before adventuring, it also grants the character training in certain skills and tools, and a feature that can be used in-game (such as allies that can give you free shelter, insider informants, etc. These are meant to be storytelling devices, not game-breaking features.) Chris has picked several backgrounds at once and gained their features and skills, giving himself training in more skills and tools than he should have, which is why he wrote "Mix."
For those who have the Player's Handbook, the backgrounds are: Acolyte, Entertainer, Guild Artisan, Hermit, Noble, and Sage.
The other backgrounds- Charlatan, Criminal, Outlander (basically someone from the uncivilized wilderness) and Urchin were apparently too negative to give his Mary Sue.
Second, his classes. A class in D&D describes what your PC can do; you can take more than one class (this is called multiclassing), which is what Chris did. Each class has an archetype that defines what your character specializes in for that class.
The Monk class is a martial artist class, based on Wuxia films and TV. The monk archetypes in the Handbook are: Way of the Open Hand (the ultimate martial artist), Way of Shadow (ninja!), and Way of the Four Elements (Avatar: The Last Airbender, the D&D class.)
Chris seems to have taken three different cleric archetypes (Life, Light, and Knowledge), and their attendant abilities for his character (which is against the rules; a PC is only allowed one archetype, and cannot multiclass into the same class to get more than one archetype for that class). He likely did this on purpose because his character wasn't OP enough. It's not clear in the pictures, but I'd bet he took both PHB Ranger archetypes as well.
As for why he gave himself such obscene bonuses, he likely didn't roll of use point buy. Point buy is too complicated for him, and rolling leaves things too much to chance. So he likely used Standard Array and gave himself these obscene bonuses so he could "naturally"be OP.
He has also taken a couple of Feats (such as Elemental Adept) to increase his ungodly abilities yet further. He also has two spellbooks, for some reason (clerics and rangers do not use spellbooks. Wizards use them to store their spells. Regardless, neither cleric nor wizard has access to every spell they know; they have to prepare a certain number of spells to use each day. Knowing Chris, his character is exceptional enough to cast every cleric spell at max power, at will.)
And in a final act of blatantly ignoring the rules for PCs, he's level 24 (in 5e, PCs can only go up to level 20.)
Now, can this unholy thing be killed? Short answer: Yes.
Put him against an archmage with a simulacrum army. On his turn, he gets his hits, and wipes out some clones. On the clones' turn, they let him have it with 14,400 Disintegrate spells for 144,000d6+576,000 damage.
Or convert Pun-Pun to 5e and see how he reacts to a character who really does have infinite hit points.
For extra lulz, when he tries to claim that he can revive, have one cast Soul Cage to capture his PC's soul so it can't be revived, as per the rules.
The only masters who will play with Chris are wееns who will do en epic troll on him so they do not deserve pity if Chris will have a meltdown because his character failed an action.
Or, if Chris truly were a setsy big-titted girl, thirsty incels desperate for some sweet china. But he isn't, so that won't happen.
Cyberpunk? Interesting. Chris might make an interesting netrunner going by the 2020 rules - his exceptional vision of the net, as occasionally seen in Sonichu, could be fun. Of course, you'd then run into that good old brick wall of his own insistence on being hideously OP and doubtless trying to bring psychic powers into it all.

Thanks for that, I need to read up on my DnD it seems.
I still don't get why he took both a longsword and two shortswords. He has two weapon fighting, but no weapon finesse, so he's not really proficient in either. And then he also has a shield and a crossbow. I think he believes that with his speed, he can just bonus action and use everything during one turn.
"Mm-I-I use d-da cros-crossbo-bow, to attack da monsta in da rear, and den I'll use ma shortsurs to attack dat dang dirty troll next to me. Den I get ma shield readeh and prepare"
...
...
He'd really just use his goddess powers to destroy everything that doesn't agree with him.

No problem.
But as an aside, he does have 2-weapon fighting from the Ranger class. He can dual-wield longsword and shortsword, or two shortswords at the same time.

Pretty much Chris doesn't know the basics of D&D, he believes it's just making the character you want, he doesn't undestand rolling mechanics,movement mechanics,cross-classing,levels,weight,etc. To him (just like his old pokemon cards) it's a way to make his character be perfect. I pretty much believe if anyone bothered to try and correct all the mistakes he has made he would start raging because that is his character and it's the way he wanted to build it.
Guys, remind me if I am wrong, but this WHOLE AFFAIR on trying to play D&D and creating a borderline insane character that would be impossible to use on a real game is because of Courtney, right?
Like, I don't know anymore. Does he still think he would be allowed to play with her?
Like everything Chris does this is a hilariously inept attempt. No dungeon master in the world would let him start a game with a level 24 character, even if it had been created correctly, which it almost certainly has not. So it shows you just how much experience Chris has here, which is probably less than none. A noob creating a level 1 character for the first time would do a better job.
Chris probably thinks the levels go the same way as Pokemon and he will be able to go up to lvl 100.
For reference nearly all DMs will start the campaign at level 1, especially if the players are new to the game.
More experienced DMs with experienced players may allow their characters start at level 5, 10, or 15. Very rarely will a DM allow a legendary campaign at level 20.
24 is unheard of.
yep. If they were sick of chris enough, they could go full god mode gamemaster themselves and strike Chris's character dead where they stand or some shit. I know some dm's who weren't opposed to that behavior to that kind of terrible player
I think all the arguments about Chris ignoring the D&D rules, making a totally overpowered character and DMs who would not let him use it, while sensible, are rather pointless. Chris is not creating a character that would be fun to play, but a representation of himself using D&D as a medium. While I'm not sure he got the idea of using D&D by himself or someone led him to it, the medium could be anything. He could use Star Wars, superhero comics, pretty much any pop culture product and would always use it as a vehicle for his fantasies as he did with Neptunia. It's all about him, and how he sees himself, as always.
No problem.
But as an aside, he does have 2-weapon fighting from the Ranger class. He can dual-wield longsword and shortsword, or two shortswords at the same time.
Oh damn. I completely forgot. I was too fixated on his Cleric 1 and forgot that he dual classed.
But still.. He made sure to write that he has dual shortswords, they are finesse weapons still, aren't they? So he'd either.. Oh. OH! I just got it while I was typing. It's either STR or DEX roll for attack and damage. I was too fixated on actual working stat builds and completely forgot his DnD character can seemingly do anything.
Still.. Cleric 15/Ranger 9? He just picked the skills he wanted and when the game rules wouldn't conform to him, he decided that he's too good for that.
I'll relish the day when we get an actual DnD session with Chris. It's going to be glorious no matter what the DM does!
Lol any decent DM in their right mind would pozload Chris ASAP. But let's face it, any group that would allow him to play in the first place would either pity his ass or be just as autistic with their own characters.
You just know all of the stats are maxed out anyways. Especially as far as "Level 24" can be maxed out. I don't see the point in getting mad about this transformation power when all stats are at least 30 anyways. Looks like my call on him not even being worth playing near nevermind with has panned out spectacularly.
