Daily Punch 3-30-16 Disarmoring Blades spell for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I like the idea of spells knocking down armor, so let’s keep working on that theme.

 

Disarmoring Blades

1st level evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 50 feet

Components: V, S

Duration: instantaneous

You point at a target in range and make a ranged spell attack.  On a hit, blades of force shoot from your fingers and slice the targets armor rending it and reducing its effectiveness.  Until the armor is repaired, the AC of the target is reduced by 2.  If the target armor is natural armor, then a long rest will repair the armor or any spell that heals 5 hit points of damage will also restore the armor.  If the target has no armor or receives its armor from ability scores alone, then this spell has no effect.

How about a quick feat?  Something for the caster who loves his spell, but would love them more if they didn’t put him in danger?

How about a feat to build on Tough?  I’m trying to walk the line here between too powerful and not powerful enough.

 

Brute Endurance

Prerequisite: Tough

You are just a mass of muscle, and for anybody to hurt you they have to cut through it all to hit a vital.  Increase your maximum hit point total equal to 1/2 your Strength modifier, rounded up, for each level you have.  When you gain a level or increase your Strength modifier, increase your maximum hit point total again.

How about expanding maneuvers to other classes?  Let’s make a fighter monk!

Daily Punch 2-15-16 Mage Hammer maneuver for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been thinking of fighter maneuvers for a while now, but here’s another!

 

Mage Hammer.   When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you may expend a superiority die to cause a spell caster to have to make Constitution saving throws when casting any spells for a number of turns equal to the number rolled on your superiority die.  On a failure the spell slot is lost to no effect.  If the spell was a cantrip, the character simply fails to cast the spell.
