While both characters are integral to the plot of FMA, we’ll be focusing on Edward for this build. Seeking the philosopher’s stone, an item which lets the user bypass the requirement of equivalent exchange, the brothers left Risembool with a promise: To return when they had regained their former selves, and wipe away the sins of the past. The brothers trained hard, spending the remainder of their scarred youth learning all that they could about alchemy, combat, and how to get their bodies back. Thanks to his friend Winry, Edward was fitted with automail prosthetics, metal limbs that connect to the nervous system to allow natural motion. Mangled and maimed, the brothers knew that they had made a grave mistake. Desperate, Edward sacrificed his right arm in order to bind Al’s soul to a suit of armor, tethering his brother to the physical world and allowing him to exist on as a disembodied voice inside of the armor.

After their father left them at a young age, their mother suddenly fell ill, and eventually passed away. As the elder brother, Edward had a natural talent for alchemy, impressing his mother and tutoring his younger brother with his ability to grasp alchemical concepts and formulae. I highly recommend watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood or reading the manga in any case, one of the all time greatest works in the genre (my humble opinion, of course.)

Get your chalk circles and philosopher’s stones ready, Buildies! Today’s the day that the much-requested Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist, is brought into D&D 5th Edition! I’ve been looking forward to this one for a good long while, and I’m so happy that many of you let me know that you wanted him too. You can’t gain something without losing something first… but if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you’ll find that you have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle… ‘ ‘There’s no such thing as a painless lesson. ![]()
