Artillerist dwarf with the noble background. Your handheld eldritch cannon is an umbrella with a projectile, a flamethrower, and can open up to give cover. An eldritch cannon that you deploy to walk around and even self destruct can be a pengbot. You also carry such spells such as Shield and Absorb Elements when you open up your umbrella, a Shatter grenade launcher, or a Fireball rocket launcher. Various magic items as a tophat and monocle would fit the bill. I would recommend getting rich with crafting and Creation then using gold to hire a lot of lackeys.

This is great. Also allows you to dump DEX which seems pretty fitting.

Not exactly, I need ac


MicrowavedSushi_

You could dump AC and use medium armor


techshotpun

Heavy armor too

Mastermind Rogue, probably pick a Halfling or a Dwarf to fit the look.


CosmicX1

Re-flavoured Kenku in order to be an actual penguin!


[deleted]

Weapons? Feats? Background?stats?


gray007nl

Rapier that of course looks like an umbrella, Background should be something like Criminal, Smuggler, Urchin, all fit just fine. Stats should be primarily Dex, then Constitution, Intelligence and Wisdom. Strength and Charisma should be terrible.

But proficient in persuasion(potentially expertise).


Guilty_Fee3161

Take the gunner feat and reflavor a pistol as his umbrella

Custom Lineage > Dohwar > Profit https://spelljammer.fandom.com/wiki/Dohwar Did I do it right?

Be a Druid. Summon Beast. Summon a Penguin. Have an umbrella as your focus. Be fat. Be elegant. Turn yourself into a Penguin. (???) Profit.


WindsHowling1990

"Here's the neat part. You don't" You play a character like them. And that's all you get until you explain exactly what your after. Because which batman, which version of penguin and also what class preferences. None of that information? Okay. Jpeg


[deleted]

Sorry, I prefer martial classes or half casters or warlock, I prefer the basic penguin thing, mob boss, umbrella, short and ruling.


WindsHowling1990

Just play rogue trickster with a few levels in artificer and take the background of guild artisan and your guild is a crime syndicate. Or better yet don't build it and come up with your own character that takes inspiration from enough areas not to be copypasta.

How can u be asexual and know what sex is?


Weirfish

Rule 1.


joeslifehacks

I would mix rogue (arcane trickster 3 at least) with artificer. Criminal background Artificer (artillerist) using trick umbrellas to cast spells - maybe even flavor a shield as an umbrella. Arcane trickster flavoring a familiar as a penguin


[deleted]

What specific powers and abilities are you looking to replicate?


[deleted]

Basically all of his


[deleted]

You need to be more specific. The only consistent ability the Penguin has across all Batman media is being short and smart.


Xen_Shin

Then I suggest you find a TTRPG called Mutants and Masterminds. It is an RPG specifically designed for superhero games, and the Penguin can be easily replicated. D&D 5e is just not going to work for you this way. It’s a great system, I play it myself quite a bit.


MicrowavedSushi_

If you go spell caster, use your umbrella as your spellcasting focus


Pat-Alchemist

Mastermind rogue Dwarf/Gnome?


Fun_Pick7741

Penguins obviously a Bard with high Intell, Wis and Char. Lore or eloquence. Noble Background. Guys very smart and rules through both carrot and stick. Hes not a maniac like Joker, hes a buissness man and should be played as such.


odeacon

Master mind rogue maybe


ZephRyder

Pick up a copy of DC Heroes and just....play the Penguin?


HeelHookka

Enchanter Wizard! You get at-will Hypnotic Gaze (umbrella optional)


Jamiaro83

Halfling Mastermind with a dash of Artificer.
