Daily Punch 1-19-15 Sudden Spell feat for Pathfinder

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Been reading a little Pathfinder lately, I’d like to give my wizards a bit more punch.

 

Sudden Spell

You give up a litter bit later for a big hit now.

prerequisite: Wizard, sorcerer, or any other magic casting class with a level 1 magic supernatural (su) ability you gain at a set number of times per day.

Benefit: You may use two uses of the supernatural ability to cast that as a swift action on your turn.  You may only do this once per turn.  As an example, an evocation wizard can use two uses of force missile to cast it once as a swift action.

Starting playing a paladin recently, and I want cantrips.  Let’s add that to the class with a feat.

 

Paladin Priest

You have spent as much time in church as any of the clerics.  You may not be as strong in the faith magic as the clerics, but you have learned and earned additional power from you god.

  • Gain +1 charisma to a maximum of 20.
  • Gain a number of cantrips as if you were a cleric of your paladin level.  As you gain levels in paladin, you gain additional cantrips as cleric would

Daily Punch 1-15-15 Ball Lightning Cantrip for DnD5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ 4 Comments

Had a new player love Shocking Grasp, but hate to have to get close.  How about something similar, but not overpowered?

 

Ball Lightning

Evocation Cantrip

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 100 feet

Components: V,S

Duration: Instantaneous

You lob a ball of pure electricity at a target.  Make a ranged spell attack against the target.  On a hit, the target takes 1d6 electric damage and can not take reactions for the next turn.

The spell’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6)

Daily Punch 1-14-15 Paladin Program for Shadowrun 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been reading a ton of Shadowrun lately and thinking about how to protect your friends as you do matrix overwatch.  Here’s my idea

 

Paladin (TM)

Practice safe matrix activity, always use Paladin(TM) brand overwatch!

Sometimes you can’t protect all your friends gear at once.  Sometimes your friends get hit, and then they wine later.  With Paladin(tm) running, your friends reduce all hits dealt to their matrix gear by one box if you have those PAMs slaved to your deck or RCC.

Daily Punch 1-12-15 Air Rifle for Shadowrun 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I got a present for Christmas.  No it wasn’t from Red Rider, but it was an air rifle.  Funny thing about air rifles, the Austrians used to use them to fight the Nazies.  Maybe it’s not that bad a weapon.  Here are my stats for it.

 

Gun ACC DAMAGE AP MODE RC AMMO AVAIL COST
Air Rifle 5 2S or 5P 1 SS – 1 BB 2 100 Y

An air rifle is not a weapon that will take down your average dragon.  However, if you aim right and know what you’re doing, you can do some serious damage.  When you make an attack with an air rifle, if you were hidden when you made the attack you are still hidden.  The weapon normally does 2S damage.  However, if your target glitches his or her dodge roll or is unaware of the attack, the damage of the weapon is 5p.

 

Daily Punch 1-9-15 Alternate The Fiend ability for the Warlock in DnD 5e

How about some love for Tiefling Warlocks out there?  This ability replaces Dark One’s Own Luck

 

Power In the Blood

prerequisite: Tiefling

You’ve give yourself over to your fiendish ancestry.  You don’t use charisma for spellcasting or Charisma based skills and saves, but instead use Constitution for all spell casting depending effects, skills, and saves.  All spells you cast using your Infernal Legacy trait now use Constitution for their effects as well.  In addition, you gain one additional use of all spells gained from your Infernal Legacy trait.

Daily Punch 1-8-15 Essence Healing for Shadowrun 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about being able to fix that whole in your soul?

 

Essence Healing

For every point of essence you have lost, you can spend a cumulative 20 karma to regain a single point of essence.  For the first point you heal, it costs 20 karam.  The second costs an additional 20 karma for a total of 40 karam in addition to the 20 for the first point or 60 total.  The third would cost 60 karam and so on.

Saw a player who really wanted more dragon breaths.  Let’s work on that…

 

Draconic Focus

Prerequisite: dragonborn

Some dragonborn avoid their draconic parentage.  You’ve embraced your and trained it.  Gain the following benefits:

  • Gain one extra use of your dragon breath power per rest.
  • Increase the DC of your dragon breath by 1
  • If you use your dragon breath to attack a creature that is resistant to your dragon breath damage type, that resistance only reduce the damage to 3/4, not 1/2.
