You can dabble as a bloodrager from a sorcerer, but let’s build on that a bit.

Improved Raging Blood

You strengthen the rage in your soul, fueling the fire in your heart.

Prerequisite: Raging Blood, 8th level

Benefit: You gain a 4th level bloodline power from the same bloodline as the one you selected when you took Raging Blood.  Increase the number of rounds you can be in a bloodrage by 2, and the bloodrage you can enter is exactly the same as a normal Bloodrager with all the same penalties and bonuses provided by the bloodrage ability.

Daily Punch 9-30-15 Alchemist arcane tradition for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Why not bottle your spells instead of casting them?  Let’s make a new Arcane Tradition for Wizards in DnD 5e.

Alchemist

You’ve learned to cast your spells as a wizard, but have found a better way cast them-by bottling them!  Every morning you wake up an in the time it take others to memorize their spells, you instead brew them instead.

Alchemist

Beginning at 2nd level, you no longer memorize spells after a long rest.  Instead, you brew them.  Each morning you have to select exactly what spells you will cast that that day instead of memorizing a number of spells and you brew these spells into spell potions.  When these spell potions are cast, you throw the bottle to an equal range as the normal spells up to 60 feet.  The spell save DC is equal to 8 + your intelligence modifier + your proficiency bonus and spell attack bonus is your intelligence modifier + your proficiency bonus, regardless of who uses the spell potion.  You can copy down any wizards spell from another spellbook in to your spellbook, but no wizard can copy from yours as you now copy the formula of the spell instead.  When you take a short rest to regain spells, you can brew any spell potions you know from your spellbook as apposed to the normal rules for arcane recovery.  Any material components are used in the brewing of these spells.  Any effects the provide additional spells or spell slots simple provide you the opportunity to brew more spell potions.  These spell potions expire after 24 hours or when your brew new potions.

Potion Master

Beginning at 2nd level, you can now know the herbalist feat from the players hand book.  You brew potions for half the cost, but can only brew a number of potion equal to your intelligence modifier this way per day.

Hand-Off Casting

Starting at 6th level, you’ve perfected your spells to a point where now anyone who uses your potions.  After you brew your potions for the day, you can hand any number of them to another character, and they can cast the spell just as if they used the potion.  These spell potions can be handed at any time through the day, and this follows the normal rules for exchanging items.  Any spell with a target of Self can be used by any character who drinks a potion brewed by you.

Mix Master

Starting at 10th level, you can take two different spell potions and mix them to brew a third, different spell potion you had not prepared today but have in your spellbook.  You lose the two spell potions, but gain a different spell potion.  This is done as a bonus action on your turn and can be done an unlimited number of times per day.

Carry Over

Starting at 14th level, you’ve learned the real meaning of waste not want not.  Every day, you can carry over a number of spell potions equal to your intelligence modifier.  These potions can be of any level, but must have been brewed in the last 24 hours and before your last long rest.

Daily Punch 9-29-15 Mana Jolt positive quality for Shadowrun 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

If you can get a hit from the physical and the matrix to gain a bit of speed, let’s add one to gain a bit from magic as well!
Mana Jolt
COST: 5 KARMA
Magic runs in your veins.  Sometimes, it weights you down as you keep pushing yourself to pull more from the wide magic world.  Sometimes, that jolt out of the astral pumps you up like no other drug could.  Every initiative pass, once per initiative pass, when you are dealt stun or physical damage from a failed drain roll your initiative score increases by +2.

Daily Punch 9-27-15 Masochist positive quality for Shadowrun 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I saw Pain is Gain in Data Trails.  Let’s make that happen for the real world!

Masochist
COST: 5 KARMA
You’ve met them.  Some people just like to get hit.  Maybe its their viking berserk family history.  Maybe it just wakes up up after a bad soykaf.  Maybe their some freak in the bar who really into getting into fights.  Either way, they come alive when the fists hit their face.  Every initiative pass, once an initiative pass, when a character with this quality is dealt stun or physical damage, their initiative score increases by +2.

Daily Punch 9-17-15 Schooled Sorcerer archetype for the arcanist in Pathfinder

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Just finished the Pathfinder book Advanced Class Guide, and I have a few ideas I’d like to see from it.  Here is one for the Arcanist.

Schooled Sorcerer (Archetype)

You went to school like all other wizards did.  You hit the books hard, learned from the masters, and showed great promise, but you also had something else up your sleeve-you were a closet sorcerer.  You cultivated the talents in your own blood along side your own class-based studied.

Dual Focus(Su):  At 1st level, a schooled Sorcerer chooses a school of magic and a bloodline.  The arcanist also chooses either one to gain at a slower path.  For the one progressing at a normal pace, the Schooled Sorcerer gains all the benefits as described for that school or bloodline.  For the chosen ability gained at a slower pace, the Schooled Sorcerer gains the benefits of the school or bloodline as a wizard or sorcerer four levels lower than his or her actual level.

The archanist must select two additional schools of magic as opposition schools and has all the penalties of casting and preparing spells from those schools as a wizard would.  This ability replaces the arcanist exploits gained at 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th level.

Daily Punch 9-15-15 Fast Healer feat for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Sometimes you need a battle cleric to roll in, heal, and stomp some orcs.  Let’s work on that.

Fast Healer

You are a master of healing and heading into the fray.  Gain the following benefits:

  • Increase your Strength or Constitution by 1 to a maximum of 20.
  • When you cast healing word, instead of healing a 1d4, you now heal 1d8.  All dice gained from casting at higher levels are also 1d8 also.

Daily Punch 9-14-15 Sealing Goo spell for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I’m reading the latest Forgotten Realms novel, and I have an idea from a spell I saw.

 

Sealing Goo

1st-level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action or 1 reaction

Range: 50 feet

Components: V, S

Duration: 1 hour

You create sticky goo that seals a target within.  This spell can be used in two different ways.  If used against an unwilling target as an action, the targeted creature must make a Dexterity saving throw.  On a failure, the creature is restrained.  A creature can attempt to escape the goo with a Strength saving throw as a move or an action.  If used against a willing target as a reaction in response to the creature being damage, the target gains 1d6 temporary hit points as you seal the target’s wounds with the spell.  Only the wound on the creature is targeted, so the willing target is not restrained.  In either case if the spell duration ends, the target is freed from the goo.  The goo has 10 hit points and is resistant to bludgeoning and piercing damage, but vulnerable to fire damage.  If the goo is removed from the willing target and the target still has temporary hit points, all temporary hit points are lost.

At Higher Levels. For each spell slot cast higher than 1st, increase the hit points of the goo by 4 and the amount of temporary hit points granted by 1d6.

Daily Punch 9-11-15 Force the Blade feat for Pathfinder

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ 1 Comment

I love Power Attack, but I’d like to go in reverse.  Let’s see what we can do.

Force the Blade (Combat)

You grit your teeth and force the blade through armor sacrificing damage for accuracy.

Prerequisites: Str 13, base attack bonus +1.

Benefit: You can choose to take a –2 penalty on all melee damage rolls to gain a +1 bonus on all melee attack rolls. This penalty to damage decreased to a -1 penalty if you are making an attack with a two-handed weapon, a one handed weapon using two hands, or a primary natural weapon that adds 1-1/2 times your Strength modifier on damage rolls.

When your base attack bonus reaches +4, and every 4 points thereafter, the penalty increases by –2 to damage and the bonus to attack increases by +1.  These bonuses and penalties are modified for two handed weapons as above.

You must choose to use this feat before making an attack roll, and its effects last until your next turn. The bonus to hit does not apply to effects that do not deal hit point damage or non-weapon damage rolls.

Daily Punch 9-10-15 Many Strikes, One Wound feat for Pathfinder

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I like Clustered Shots for Pathfinder.  We can do that in melee too!

Many Strikes, One Wound (Combat)

You’ve learned to strike hard and deep instead of the sloppy cuts of an amateur.

Prerequisites: Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, base attack bonus +6.

Benefit: When you use a full-attack action to make multiple melee weapon attacks against the same opponent, total the damage from all hits before applying that opponent’s damage reduction.

Special: If the massive damage optional rule is being used, that rule applies if the total damage you deal with this feat is equal to or exceeds half the opponent’s full normal hit points (minimum 50 points of damage).
