Daily Punch 9-5-14 Masterwork Weapons for DnD Next

I didn’t see this in the Player’s handbook for DnD Next/5e, so I think it needs to be said

 

Masterwork Weapons

This is an exceptional version of the standard weapons.  Often crafted by the master of the forge instead of by his journeymen.

This version costs 100 gp more the the standard weapon price.

While using a masterwork weapon, gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls, no bonus to damage.

Daily Punch 9-3-14 Player Adjustment for Shadowrun:Crossfire and dual roles

I like Shadowrun:Crossfire.  I’ve reviewed it, but its still a kick in the teeth with its difficulty.  What makes it even harder is playing the game with less then four players.  Here are my suggestions to fix it.

 

1-Dual roles-A few people have given this advice, but here is the general suggestion.  When you get two role cards, you don’t take four basic cards for that color and one off the others, but you take two cards of one color, three cards of the second color, and one card of the other two.  Now the player who has two roles might be targeted by two obstacles, but will be equally ready to fight back.

 

2-Extra hit points-few players means more crossfire events, more obstacles targeting the same player, and less turns to deal with any major obstacles in front of a player.  I suggest giving all players one extra hit point per player missing.  This will power up the players a least enough to help the players get a foothold in the game.

Daily Punch 9-2-14 Skilled Wire implant for Shadowrun 5e

Been thinking about data jacks and directly plugging in to a device.  Why not have a cord you can control?

Skilled Wire is a single cord that is implanted either directly into your arm or leg and is directly connected to either a RCC, deck, internal commlink, or a datajack.  It can extend up to one meter.  Skilled wires have a pilot rating equal to its rating, can only be given commands remotely, never be actively piloted, but you are always consider to be directly connected to it and anything it connects to.  It can not be hacked as it and any device are consider to be connected, never in wireless mode. As a simple action, you can command Skilled Wire to directly connect to a device with a data jack.  Skilled Wire will attempt to do so stealthily with a stealth dice pool equal to double its rating.

Daily Punch 9-1-14 Magic Domain for DnD Next

If we have magic gods in the Forgotten Realms, then there must be a magic domain for clerics.  Let’s make this happen!

 

 

Magic Domain

Gods of Magic like Mystra control and are the magical weave that binds the world together.  Mortals are sometimes called to protect, maintain, or build the weave and become clerics of this domain.  Sometimes these clerics are tasked with preventing misuses of the arcane as well.  The mortals who pray to the gods of magic are often wizards, sorcerers, and those that dabble in the arcane, or those asking for protection from it.

 

Magic Domain Spells

Cleric Level     Spells

1st      detect magic, Identify

3rd     Magic Missle, Shield

5th     Magic Circle, Dispel Magic

7th     Evard’s Black Tenticals, Dimension Door

9th    Creation, Bigby’s Hand

 

Bonus Skill and Spell

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain training in the Arcana skill and gain one cantrip on the wizards spell list.  At 6th level gain a second, and 12th level gain a third.  Unlike a wizard, you cast these and any other arcane spells you know using your wisdom as your spellcasting ability instead of intelligence.

 

Channel Divinity: Enhance magic

Starting at 2nd Level, you can use your channel divinity to enhance the next arcane spell you or another cast.

As an action, you can target you or another creature in 30 feet.  The next arcane spell cast by the target has the save DC increased by half your proficiency bonus or add half your proficiency bonus as a bonus to any attack made with an arcane spell.  The creature must cast a spell within in one minute of you using channel divinity.

Also, as an action, you can enhance an already active spell.  If you do so, the active spell gains a  bonus to its DC equal to your proficiency bonus for the duration of the spell.

A target may only benefit from your use of Enhance Magic once even if you use the ability multiple times.

 

Channel Divinity: Counterspell

Starting at 6th level, you can use your channel divinity to cast counterspell as per the spell with a bonus equal to half your proficiency bonus on the saving throw.

 

Arcane Blessed Strike

When you hit a creature with a divine spell or a creature does not save against one of your divine spells, you may cast an arcane cantrip as a free action against the same target.

 

Arcane Protection

At 17th level, you gain advantage on saving throws against arcane spells.
