Daily Punch 7-6-17 Shadow Evocation for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I was about to convert shadow bolts for DnD 5e, but shadow evocation does not exist for DnD 5e!  Let’s fix that!

Shadow Evocation

5th-level illusion

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: see text
Components: see text
Duration: see text

You pull concentrated shadow from the plane of negative energy and throw it with your will as an imposter evocation spell.  When you cast this spell, choose an evocation spell of level 4 or lower.  This spell mimics that spell cast at the lowest level spell slot it is able, except the spell is now disbelieved with a Will saving throw instead of either a different saving throw or spell attack roll.  If the original spell required multiple attacks or saves such as magic  missile or scorching ray , each attack requires its own save.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you may choose to increase the effective level of the copied spell by one or choose to cast a one level higher evocation spell for each slot level above 5th.

Daily Punch 7-4-17 Basic Errors negative quality for Shadowrun 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about some shadowrun fun?

 

Basic Errors
Bonus: 5 Karma
Some people  are good at the hard stuff, but choke when they get simple.  A character with Basic Errors suffers no penalties to clutch actions, but attempting to do an action when unhurried such as driving on easy roads or doing a simple computer search for dinner must attempt an edge check.  If  if the character does not get three successes, then the character fails the simple action resulting in a critical glitch.  How often this occurs is up to the GM, but should not occur more than twice per session.

I was running a game this weekend, and I had a player run into some trouble when no one could drive the boat, and everybody was a mage. Let’s work on this…

DEVICE                                             AVAILABILITY                             COST
Skill Adapters (Rating 1-6)              Rating x 4                        Rating x 30,000¥

Skill Adapters: Modeled after the trode system of neural link, skill adapters are a system of trodes placed over the body to override the users normal impulses to implement any skill downloaded into the system.   While not nessasasrly the most attractive implementation as wires run the length of the users body, this system allows a user to link with a  communications device and upload a activesofts for use without affecting the essence of the user. Activesofts of up to the rating of the skill adapter can be used with the device.
Wireless: With the skill adapter’s memory cache expanded, all the skills you use with it receive +1 to the relevant inherent Limit (Physical, Mental, or Social).
