Daily Punch 11-6-14 Hard to Kill feat for DnD Next

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I have some barbarians with some massive constitutions out there who will fail three death saving throws while the asthmatic wizard pops up like toast whenever he gets hit because he’s insanely lucky with a d20.  Let’s help those barbarians out there…

 

Hard to Kill

You’ve survived things that lesser people would never walk away from.  You gain the following benefits:

  • You must fail four death saving throws before you die from your injuries.
  • You may add your constitution bonus to your death saving throws.  If you hit 20 or above, you regain 1HP and regain consciousness as normal.

Daily Punch 11-5-14 Trust Fund quality for Shadowrun 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ 2 Comments

I like that Pathfinder has some Pathfinder Society Specific feats and abilities.  I’d like to see a few of those in Shadowrun.  Let’s make the first one.

 

Trust Fund

Cost: 2-6 Karma

You’re pretty smart, and you learned to read the megacorps from a young age.  Also, you figured out how to invest in the stock market before you were out of diapers and set up a trust fund to help yourself out no matter what trouble you get yourself into.  Now, you can get a bit of extra scratch each month from those investments.  It’s not going to break the bank, but it get you better than McHue’s for lunch.  You can spend 2, 4, or 6 karma, and at the end of every month of time in Shadowrun Missions gain 500Y, 1000Y, 1500Y from your current stock portfolio.  You may not withdraw the rest of your stocks and only gain this bonus at the end of the month.

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ 2 Comments

I’ve been listening to some audiobooks lately, and I want to help those fighters who wield the too big weapons enter the fray!

 

Monkey Grip

Prerequisite: Strength 18

Benefit: Gain the following:

  • Gain +1 to strength to a maximum of 20
  • You may wield a two-handed weapon one handed and gain the benefit of the two-handed grip for qualities like versatile and general use of the weapon.  If you wield two two-handed weapons, the off-hand attack normally does not add your strength or dexterity to damage.

Daily Punch 11-3-14 Rend Muscle Fighting Style for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about hurting your opponents so they can’t hurt you in a Fighting Style?

 

Rend Muscle

When you make an attack, you can cause your opponent to have to make a Constitution Saving Throw equal to 8+proficiency+strength or dexterity modifier (whatever you used for the attack).  If the target fails, they gain a -1 penalty to their attack rolls.  These penalties are cumulative, but may never be larger then your proficiency bonus.  As an example, at level two the maximum penalty you can inflict to attack for a target is a -2 as your proficiency bonus is a +2.
