How about one in the same vain as Crack the Shell for but weapons?

Bend the Blade

You can spend 1 ki point after you make an strike that hits to attempt to break a foes weapons, hands, or claws.  The attacked creature must make a Strength saving throw or take a -2 penalty to one of its weapons.  A creature may only be under one of this effect at a time.  The creature can have its weapon repaired normally, through the use of a mending spell, or in the case of natural weapon have a healing spell cast upon it.  A foe can pick up an identical copy of this weapon and be free of this penalty as well.

Daily Punch 9-13-16 Crack the Shell ki feature for DnD 5e

I like the idea of playing with AC.  Let’s see if I can keep that going in 5e

 

 

Crack the Shell

You can spend 1 ki point after you make an strike that hits to attempt to sunder the foes armor.  The attacked creature must make a Constitution saving throw or have its AC reduced by 2.  A creature may only be under one of this effect at a time.  The creature can have its armor repaired normally, through the use of a mending spell, or in the case of natural armor have a healing spell cast upon it.

Daily Punch 9-12-16 Crack the Shell feat for Pathfinder

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about a way to take down armor as a monk in Pathfinder?

 

Crack the Shell (Combat)

Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, Ki pool class feature, Wis 13

Benefit: You learn how to channel your ki into the armor of another to devastating effect.  When you make an unarmed strike, you may declare you are using this feat and may spend up to 1 ki point per three character levels.  If you  successfully strike the target and the target takes damage from the blow and the creature must attempt a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 the character’s level + the character’s Wis modifier).  On a failure the armor takes damage equal 5 times the ki points spent.  If the saving throw is successful, the target’s armor is unaffected.  Creatures with natural armor  have the bonus from their natural armor reduced by the number of ki points, up to to the natural armor bonus.  After a week of natural rest or healing magic the natural armor bonus returns.  If the target as multiple armor bonuses from natural and artificial armor, you may choose which one to attack.

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about more fun with acid in Pathfinder?

Dissolving Touch

School conjuration (creation) [acid]; Level bloodrager 1, magus 1,sorcerer/ wizard 1, summoner/unchained summoner 1

CASTING

Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M(a glob of eel slime)

EFFECT

Range touch
Target object touched
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw yes; Spell Resistance yes

You cover your hands in a slime that dissolves objects.  You can touch 1 object per two caster levels (minimum 1, maximum 5 objects).  That object must make a Fortitude saving throw.   If the target fails its Fortitude Saving Throw, it gains the broken condition.

Daily Punch 9-8-16 Summon Ooze Spell for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

ED CONTINUES TO DEMAND MORE OOZES!  Also, how about a slightly different way to summon.  I think conjurers (conjuration based wizards) need to keep up with Druids.  Let’s make that happen!

 

Summon Ooze

2th-level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 minute

Range: 30 feet

Components: V, S, M (a 1-ounce glass jar of acid)

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You call forth an ooze servant. An ooze of challenge rating 1/2 or lower to appears in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of a point in range.

The ooze disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.

The ooze is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. Roll initiative for the ooze, which has its own turns. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any commands to the ooze, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions.

If your concentration is broken, the ooze doesn’t disappear. Instead, you lose control of the ooze, it becomes hostile toward you and your companions, and it might attack. An uncontrolled ooze can’t be dismissed by you, and it disappears 1 hour after you summoned it.

The GM has the ooze’s statistics.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3th level or higher, increase the challenge rating of the summoned ooze to 1 if you use a 3rd level spell slot and by 1 thereafter for each slot level above 3th.

  • Oil Coating: Creatures struck by the ooze are covered in oil if they fail a saving throw.  This oil can be removed at the end of their turn without an action with a successful Dexterity saving throw (DC 14).  If the target spends an action to remove the oil, the saving throw is performed with advantage.
  • Fire Form: If the ooze is dealt fire damage, the ooze takes no damage, but starts on fire.  It’s attack now deal fire damage, and any creature struck by the ooze that fail their Dexterity saving throw (DC 14) now are lit aflame and take 10 (2d10) fire damage at the start of their turns.  Creatures covered in oil perform this save with disadvantage.  They can remove the fire damage as normal to remove the oil coating.

Description

This ball of ooze appears to look like a shimmering rainbow.  The rainbow is a trick of the light as the ooze is made of flammable material the shimmers.  Those who use fire on this creature soon regret their final action.

I haven’t made a Shadowrun thing in a bit, so here is one!

 

Itchy Trigger Fingers

(GRENADE ATTACK ONLY)

Interrupt Action (-5 Initiative Score)

Sometimes time is not on your side.  Some times you want that hot potato to bake a little more quickly.  When you throw a grenade with a wireless link, but you are not linked to it, you can reduce your initiative score by five to activate the grenade.  This will not reduce scatter.  The grenade may be dodged as normal.
