Daily Punch 11-11-14 Monk of the Heavens Monastic Tradition for DnD 5e

I love monks, and I love clerics.  Let’s see if I can mix these two together into one great class.

 

Monk of the Heavens Monastic Tradition

Monks of the Heavens spend much of their time in practice and prayer.  They are chosen to execute the will of the gods as they strike out from their lone monasteries to hopefully make the world a better place.

You know the touch of silence and one other divine discipline of your choice.  You gain additional disciplines at 6th, 11th, and 17th level.  When you learn a new discipline, you may replace any others you know as you see fit.

Casting Cleric Spells.  Most divine disciplines allow you to cast spells.  These spells are cast as per the Casting Elemental Spells rules on page 80 of the Players handbook.

Divine Disciplines

Touch of Silence.  You may touch a dying ally or enemy and either stabilize or kill that enemy as a bonus action.  If you kill, that creature must make a constitution saving throw or die immediately.

Daily Punch 11-6-14 Hard to Kill feat for DnD Next

I have some barbarians with some massive constitutions out there who will fail three death saving throws while the asthmatic wizard pops up like toast whenever he gets hit because he’s insanely lucky with a d20.  Let’s help those barbarians out there…

 

Hard to Kill

You’ve survived things that lesser people would never walk away from.  You gain the following benefits:

  • You must fail four death saving throws before you die from your injuries.
  • You may add your constitution bonus to your death saving throws.  If you hit 20 or above, you regain 1HP and regain consciousness as normal.

Daily Punch 11-3-14 Rend Muscle Fighting Style for DnD 5e

How about hurting your opponents so they can’t hurt you in a Fighting Style?

 

Rend Muscle

When you make an attack, you can cause your opponent to have to make a Constitution Saving Throw equal to 8+proficiency+strength or dexterity modifier (whatever you used for the attack).  If the target fails, they gain a -1 penalty to their attack rolls.  These penalties are cumulative, but may never be larger then your proficiency bonus.  As an example, at level two the maximum penalty you can inflict to attack for a target is a -2 as your proficiency bonus is a +2.

Daily Punch 10-21-14 Dragon Warrior Fighter Archetype for DnD 5e

I’ve been thinking about the Eldrich Knight archetype, and I thought there should be one for the charisma based casters out there.  Here’s my contribution:

 

Dragon Warrior

Somewhere in your family line was a dragon.  It might be something open to all.  It might be a secret passed down through the generations.  Or, it might be unknown to anyone.  But, for some reason, it shows in your.  You’re starting to look a lot like someone you may never have met, as well as, being able to tap into power that most people in your family and most mortals can only dream of.

 

Spellcasting

At 3rd Level, you gain the ability to cast spells as a Sorcerer.  Use the Spellcasting rules of the Eldrich Knight (PHB 75), except you cast using your charisma modifier instead of intelligence.

 

Dragon Ancestry

At 3rd level, you must choose a draconic ancestor using the types presented on page 102 of the Players Hand Book.  Once choose, you may not change this type.  Based on the type of dragon chosen, you gain resistance to the type of damage associated with that dragon.

 

Elemental strike

Beginning at 7th level, when you your action to cast a spell that does the damage of the type associated with your Dragon Ancestry, you can an extra action to make a weapon attack.

 

Draconic Metamorphosis

At 10th level you begin to change to look like your draconic progenitor.  Your body gains scales and possibly small horns as your fore-father/fore-mother.  This makes most conventional armor all but useless, but your natural armor gives your AC equal to 16+dexterity.

 

Draconic Breath

At 15th level, you gain the ability to perform a breath attack as a dragonborn (PHB 34).  The DC for this save is not based on your constitution, but based on your charisma.

Dragon Wings

At 18th level, your metamorphosis completes as you gain a pair of dragon wings.  These are permanent wings that grant you a flight speed equal to your normal movement speed.
