Made this for Starfinder, but I think it fits in Eberron as well.
Elite
You are just that good. You can spend a hero point to make two checks instead of one as an action when you use a skill with which you are proficient. If you succeed at one check and fail at the other, you are considered to have succeeded. If you succeed both times, you can count it as two successes or one success with a value equal to three higher than the best check.
Thoughts?
Sometimes you are just that damn good. Running an adventure where the players are doing checks in phases and I think that some of them would like this one.
You are just that damn good.
Prerequisites: Computers, Engineering, Life Science, Mysticism, Physical Science, or appropriate Profession 5 ranks.
Benefit: Choose one skill. You can spend a resolve point to make two checks instead of one as an action when you use that skill. If you succeed at one check and fail at the other, you are considered to have succeeded. If you succeed both times, you can count it as two successes or one success with a value equal to five higher than the best check.
Special: You can take Elite multiple times. Each time you do, it applies to a different skill that meets the prerequisite number of ranks.

Did one, so let’s do another!
Necromancy
Traditions arcane, divine, primal
Cast
somatic, verbal
Range touch; Targets 1 living creature
Saving Throw Fortitude; Duration varies
You manipulate the small pieces of the creature that regulate it bones either making more or destroying the bones in a creature. When the creature is touched, the caster decides on a limb to grow a new bone in or a bond to destroy. The living creature must attempt a Fortitude save.
Critical Success The living creature is unaffected.
Success The living creature is unaffected or the level of clumsy is reduced by 1.
Failure The creature becomes clumsy 1 or increases its value of clumsy by 1 and must make a save at the start of it’s next turn.
Critical Failure The living creature becomes clumsy 2 or increases is value of clumsy by 2 and must make a save at the start of it’s next turn.
If a creature would become clumsy 4, the the spell is complete and the bone in the limb is destroyed or new bone grown. The creature completely loses use of that limb until the bone is destroyed or grown back. If an arm is lost, spell with somatic components can not be cast and weapons needing the arm can not be used. If the leg is lost, the creatures walking speed becomes zero if it has two legs or its loses a proportion of its speed if it has more than two legs.
Heightened (+1) The number of targets increases by 1.

Been reading some course work in anatomy. How about we dissolve or make some bones!
4th-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 action
You touch a creature on a limb. If the creature fails a Constitution save, the body limb begins to either harden as extra bones begin to grow or bones begin to degrade. The creatures takes a -1 penalty to all actions, checks, and saves. At the start of the creatures turns, it must make another save. If it succeeds, the penalty is reduced by 1. If it fails, the penalty increases by 1. If the penalty would ever be equal to the creatures proficiency bonus, the bone growth or destruction is complete and the limb becomes useless.
A remove curse, regenerate, heal, restoration, dispel good and evil, or wish spell ends this effect.
At Higher Levels: If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, increase the number of targets by 1 for each spell level above 4.

Player wants to keep some spell running. I like Repeate a spell, but I think it needs some beefing up.
Exploration General Move Concentrate
You’ve mastered the art of magic on the move. When you use the exploration activity repeat a spell, you move at full speed and are not fatigued by casting the spell every turn. You must rest for 10 minutes of out of every hour. You can instead sustain a spell up to its full duration as you move at full speed instead.
Thoughts?
You can make your own pictures but how about making maps from another? Can you download them?
School illusion
Casting Time 1 standard action
Range touch
Duration 10 min/level
Saving Throw Will negates (harmless); Spell Resistance no
You touch a creature and ask it to recall a memory. The creature’s mind then creatures a holographic map of an area up to 1 mile cubed in a 10 foot cube. You can then zoom in, zoom out, and move through the map as you please with hand gestures. Before the duration of the spell ends, you can dismiss the spell while holding a data recorder or computer and save the map to that device. The creature need not be conscious for this spell to work.
Now how about some tech to do the same?
| Name/model | Level | Price | Hands | Bulk | Capacity | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Holographic Memory Download | 5 | 3,000 | — | 1 | — | 1/day |
The head set has an attached computer terminal. A creature can don the headset and think of a location and the headset will read the creatures mind and create a file containing a 3D map of up to 1 cubic mile. the file can be downloaded from the terminal. The creature need not be conscious for this device to work.

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!
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.
Thoughts?
Thinking about being able to keep hitting that same person over and over. Let’s help a warlock!
Prerequisite: eldritch blast cantrip
When you hit a creature with eldritch blast, the next use of eldritch blast against the same target gains a +1 bonus to the attack. This bonus keeps continuing until the bonus to hit equals 1/2 your proficiency bonus.
