Daily Punch 5-19-21 Lexicon of Learning Wondrous Item for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about another item to help you learn really fast at a cost?

Lexicon of Learning

Wondrous item, rare

This small folio printed on silvery parchment with near indisipheral text. You must have training in survival, religion, history, arcana, medicine, or nature. If you spend an hour reading the text, a portion will start being something you can understand but that will fade and another section will be compressible. If you spend that time, you choose one of the listed skills you have, lose proficiency in that skill, and gain proficiency in a different skill from the list. This last until you spend another hour using this book again.

Daily Punch 5-14-21 Rod of Exchange and Sacrifice wondrous item for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Been thinking about an item to give your friends some help at a cost.

Rod of Exchange and Sacrifice

Wondrous item, rare

This obsidian rod has a series of arrows that point to both sides carved into it. Two characters can hold the rod and choose to either trade up to two different ability score points or one character can give up to two ability score points to a different character as an action. The trade must be voluntary, but outside factors can influence the characters. Two characters can only trade or give two ability points once or they can choose to trade the points back and rest the trade allowing for a different trade to take place.

Daily Punch 5-12-21 Teachers College bardic college for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Working my way through each of the classes for educated warriors. Time for a bard!

Teachers College

Not all bards sit in taverns and sing sappy songs for coins. Some go out and teach others the things they know. They spread knowledge where others spread rumor and bawdy tails. You spend your time equally in books and in discussions to help those around you learn all they can to be better. Everyone needs to learn what you know, so it’s time to hit the book and the road so everyone can learn!

Bonus Proficiencies

When you join the Teachers College at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with two skills of your choice.

Lead By Example

At 3rd level, you gain additional bardic inspirations equal to half your level. When an ally you can see attempts a skill with which you are proficient, as a reaction you can coach them in their attempt giving them a bardic inspiration for the check.

Lecture and Practice

At 6th level, you become an even better teacher. If you spend an hour with an ally and spend two bardic inspirations, that ally becomes proficient in one skill you can use for the day. This ability last until the ally takes a long rest. Multiple allies can listen to your lecture and you can spend multiple bardic inspirations dice to provide them all different or the same skill.

You also learn the spell guidance as a bonus spell.

Drop in Help

Starting at 14th level, you gain the ability to cast guidance as a reaction when an ally attempts an attack, check, or save.

Gunslinger Fire Healing

Trigger You or an ally within reach takes damage.

With a flourish, you fire you gun and snap the still burning barrel to an injury. The target heals 1d6+ your level. This healing can prevent an ally from falling unconscious and gaining the wounded condition from being reduced to zero hit points. The target is then temporarily immune to your gun barrel cauterize for 1 day.
