Daily Punch 2-10-21 Desiccate spell for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Had a scene in my head where a person lured some people into the desert but then tried to enslave them. The captured turned the tables and dried their capture out using spells to get water and escape. Let’s make that happen!

Desiccate

2nd-level transmutation

Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

The touch a creature solidly with your hand and begin to pull the water out of them as water flows from them out into the area into a container of your choice within five feet. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within your reach as an action. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 fire damage, and for each hit point you drain, you gain 1 gallon of water that you can float to location within 5 feet. Until the spell ends, you can make the attack again on each of your turns as an action.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.

Had a blast at Winter Fantasy this weekend. Had a fighter full of hero points surrounded by enemies who walked away. Let’s fix this problem!

Heroic Speed

You use your moment to do what needs to be done. You can spend a hero point to gain an additional reaction or bonus action. You may not spend a hero point on any rolls associated with that reaction or bonus action.

Be it soup or beer, food as weapons has been in the media lately.  That give me an idea..

Dangerous Food

Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a piece of fruit)

Five juicy pieces of fruit appear in your hand and are infused with magic for the duration. A creature can use its action to eat one peace of fruit. Eating a berry restores 1d4 hit point.

Alternatively, a piece of fruit can be used as a weapon.  You can make a melee or ranged attack up to 30 feet as an action.  You are considered proficient when you attack with the fruit. If it hits, the target takes 1d6 magic bludgeoning damage and all enemies engaged with the target make a Dexterity save or take 1d6 magic bludgeoning damage as well.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, increase the number of fruit pieces by 1 for each slot level above 2nd.

Playing Hollow Knight lately, and the bugs I hate the most are the ones with bolts that home in on me. Let’s make that happen!

Homing Bolt

When you miss an attack with eldritch bold, you can use your reaction to reroll the attack taking the second result.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Daily Punch 11-30-20 Belt of Shocking Grasp for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Playing way too many video games lately, but saw a fun spell that I think a character might want as a belt.

Belt of Shocking Grasp

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

This simple dark leather belt is inlayed with tracery of silver. While wearing this belt, if you are grabbed or swallowed by a creature, that creature must immediately make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature take 3d8 lightning damage and must end the grab. On a success, the creature takes half damage and does not need to end the grab. If the creature is unable to release you in the case you were swallowed whole, then the creature must make a save at the beginning of each of its turns until it saves ending the damage each turn.
