Daily Punch 4-6-20 Tortured Shield sentient magic item for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Welp I got a dare to make a shield that enjoys being hit, let’s make this happen!

 

 

Tortured Shield

Armor (shield), legendary (requires attunement by a character with a Constitution score of 14 or more)

The tortured shield  is a battered, broken and repaired tower shield that is little more than scraps of metal bolted together that stands taller than a man.

History This shield containing the soul of a paladin who was captured by the agents of the king of hell. Dragged to the lower planes, he was tortured till he forgot his name but never giving up his faith.  He only remembered defending the weak and learned to love the pain inflicted on himself.  His soul was used to forge a shield that was gifted to the greater gods as a token of how any could be broken.  As he never broke his oath, he now continues to serve as a defender of his people

Enhanced defense Tortured Shield grants its barer a +3 bonus to AC.

Ever Defender When attuned to this item, you gain a reaction where you can be the target of any attack targeting an ally in the same engagement as you.

Love of the Lash When a creature makes an attack against the wielder of the Tortured Shield and fails to hit you is within three of your armor class, you can choose to have the attack hit.  If you do so, you can resistance to that attacks damage and all damage for one round as well as advantage on all checks, attacks, and saves for one round.

Unfailing Once per day, when you would fail a saving throw against a mental effect, you can choose to succeed instead.

 

Sentience. The Tortured Shield is a Chaotic Good shield, that can only provide the barer with emotions of a duty and a desire to be in the middle of any combat with a desire to take the blows instead of your friends to whoever is attuned to it as long as they hold the shield.  Telepathy feeling only Intelligence:8 Charisma:20 Wisdom:16
Personality. The Tortured Shield is a hero that has been beaten, but not had his faith broken.  He has lost words and knows only the joy of pain and service.  He will not do evil and will fight who hope the hurt the naive or innocent.  He likes it when the user is battered in the service of others while preventing his or her friends from balling.  Though as his bond with the wielder grows he hates any and all praise being heaped upon the barer or the shield, finding joy only when mocked and critiqued for either of their failings.

Destruction of The Tortured Shield It is possible that the shield to be finally broken.  If used as a focus of an evil spell to hurt another by an attuned user, the shield is finally broken as the paladin inside fully falls from grace.

Daily Punch 3-31-20 Push Through idea for Delta Green

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Delta Green doesn’t get as much love as I think it deserves.  This might be because Delta Green is Call of Cthulhu if it was somehow more depressing.

Something I don’t thing gets enough love willpower.  Let’s work on that.

 

Push Through

When you need to make a skill check, you can choose to before the roll roll a 1d2 and loose that much will power if able.  You may do that up to two times.  For each time you choose to lose willpower and do, you can increase your skill value by 1d10 for each time you choose to lose willpower.

You can choose to attempt to increase your skill value after a roll, but you must instead lose 1d4 willpower per 1d10 bonus to the skill value.

You must lose as much will power as you can.  If you can not lose as willpower as the die indicated, you lost as much as you can and do not gain the benefit of the bonus to skill value. You may still not succeed at the skill check after you roll the extra dice.

Daily Punch 3-23 and 3-24 Starship maneuvers for Starfinder

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about two ideas I’ve been kicking around.

 

Drift

The ship moves forward up to three quarters its speed  in a straight line and turns twice at the end of that movement.To perform this stunt, you must succeed at a Piloting check (DC = 15 + 1 – 1/2 × your ship’s tier). If you fail this check, your starship moves forward half its speed but doesn’t rotate.

 

Hard Turn

The ship moves forward enough spaces to allow a turn and turns twice.  To perform this stunt, you must succeed at a Piloting check (DC = 15 + 1 – 1/2 × your ship’s tier). If you fail this check, your starship moves forward but doesn’t turn.

Love grenades in Starfinder.  Everybody is a wizard with fireball!  How about being able to return that back to whoever sent it your way?

 

Return to Sender (COMBAT)

If you swing just right, you can send what comes at you right back.

Benefit: As a reaction when a grenade is throw at you, you may make an melee attack.  If your attack value equals or exceeds the attack value of the person throwing the grenade, you can return the grenade to the targets square where it explodes.
