Daily Punch 7-26-16 Faith Healer feat for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

 

One more idea that I have been kicking around for a bit.

 

Faith Healer

The power of life courses through your veins, and you share this gift with those you can.  Gain the following:

  • Increase your Charisma ability score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
  • Gain a +2 bonus to Charisma(persuasion) checks.
  • When you use an ability or spell that causes a target that isn’t you to regain hit points, you add your Charisma ability modifier to the amount regained.  If this bonus was from a spell or an ability that is limited to a number of times per day, add as normal.  If this ability functions as if the hit points come from a reserve of hit point you can use through out the day, you must use at least 1/5 of your total reserve for this bonus to function.

Daily Punch 7-14-16 Coordinated Strike feat for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Ok, one more feat before we get back into kicking giants.  Let’s make this happen!

 

 

Coordinated Strike

You and your allies adventure together, drink together, and train together.  You have each other backs in a fight, and you know how to use that to your advantage.  When you are engaged with a target and another character who has this feat is also engaged with the target, you both gain advantage on your melee attacks against the target.

 

Thoughts?  Is this one too powerful?  Is it just enough?

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about a twofer?  Let’s make this happen-a feat and a metamagic

 

1st-the feat!

Punish the Weak

You capitalize on hurting those who are already reeling.  Gain the following:

  • Increase one ability score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
  • When you use an ability or spell that requires a saving throw and you would have advantage if you used a melee or ranged attack on the target, the target has disadvantage on the saving throw.

 

 

Second, the megamagic-a modified version of the heightened spell

Hunting Spell

When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw to resist its effects and you would have advantage on attacking the target with a melee or ranged weapon, you can spend 1 sorcery points to give one target of the spell disadvantage on its first saving throw made against the spell.

Daily Punch 6-22-16 Kaiju Slayer monastic tradition for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

As a kid, I always loved Kaiju and the superheroes who changed size to fight them.  Let’s make a monk who does that.

 

Kaiju Slayer

Be careful when you fight monsters, lest you become one.  As a kaiju slayer, you have been trained to harness power in yourself and use it to attack the monsters who threaten your people.

 

Path of the Kaiju

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can manipulate yourself using ki.  You can spend a ki point to increase your size, spending one ki point per size increased as a bonus action.  All objects you hold, wear, and wield increase in size as well.  Your unarmed damage increases as well, with each size increase modifying your damage by one step along this track.  1d4->1d6->1d8->1d10->2d6->2d8->2d10->2d12.  This size may be maintained for up to one hour, but you may end it at any time as a reaction.

 

Squish the Ant

At 6th level, you learn how to fight those smaller than yourself.  For each size category that you are larger than an enemy gain a +1 bonus to damage against that target.

 

Skin of the Beast

Beginning at 11th level, you learn to harness the abilities of the monsters you fight.  For each size category you increase your size, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC.

 

Kaiju Strike

At 17th level, you gain the ability to fully harness your kaiju power.  For each size category you increase yourself, increase your proficiency bonus for all weapon and unarmed attacks by +1.

Size Bludgeoning Damage
Tiny 1

Daily Punch 6-15-16 Thick Skin feat for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about some damage mitigation for a character in DnD 5e?  How about a feat?

 

Thick Skin

You are a solid mass who takes hits, doesn’t care, and keeps moving.  Gain the following:

  • Increase your Constitution by 1, to a maximum of 20.
  • After damage reduction and damage immunity, reduce all damage by 1/4 of your level, to a minimum of one damage reduction.  This damage reduction applies to each single attack, but only once per attack.  An attack that does 5 poison and 5 fire damage is only reduced once, but three magic missiles each have their damage reduced.
