Daily Punch 1-23-17 Tongue Twister feat for DnD 5e

How about a quick feat for DnD 5e..

 

Tongue Twister

You’ve mastered speech, word, thought, and movement in your magic.  Gain the following:

  • Increase your spell casting ability by 1, to a maximum of 20.
  • When you cast a spell with somatic components, you may instead treat those as verbal components as you twist your tongue in ways to make the movements for your spells.  A spell may never lose both the somatic and verbal components however.

Daily Punch 1-16-17 Bask in New Knowledge option for Call of Cthulhu

I had a fun event last week at my Call of Cthulhu campaign after I killed two players via sanity loss from an elder god.  How about we add that in as an option.

 

Bask in New Knowledge

When a character sees an elder god and would passes a sanity check, that character may elect to fail the roll.  If they do so they take normal sanity loss as if they had failed the roll, but gain half the lost sanity as a bonus to their Cthulhu Mythos skill.  Luck may by spent on a point by point basis to reduce sanity loss to avoid going insane.

Daily Punch 12-6-16 Percussive Maintenance feat for DnD 5e

How about we transfer the same idea of “hit it again!” to a different system?

 

Percussive Maintenance

You might not be the smartest, but you do hit hard and that sometimes make the machines work. You gain the following benefits:

  • When you use a machine you are unfamiliar with you may use your Strength modifier and you are considered proficient with the machine when attempting to activate the machine.
  • You can use magic items you are not attuned with by simply hitting them harder.  If the item uses one of your ability modifiers, it uses Strength.  If the use of the item requires a charge, you use an additional charge for each use.  You apply your proficiency bonus to any spell or effect save DC, but you are not considered proficient with the item.  As an example, you would use your Strength modifier and your proficiency bonus to determine a save DC, but you would not gain proficiency with a new armor or a weapon.
