~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ 1 Comment

How about a fighter who looks over his opponents instead of just rushing in?  Here is the starter feat for the archetype.

 

Knowledge is Power

You’ve learned through experience or books what you need to do when.

Benefit: When you encounter a creature, you may make a knowledge check using the appropriate skill with DC equal to 10+creature CR.  If you succeed, you gain a +1 to either attack, saves, or defense against the creature.  These bonuses may be separated however you choose among attack, defense, and saves.  The bonus gains by this power increases by +1 for every 5 you succeed by.

Daily Punch 10-21-14 Dragon Warrior Fighter Archetype for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been thinking about the Eldrich Knight archetype, and I thought there should be one for the charisma based casters out there.  Here’s my contribution:

 

Dragon Warrior

Somewhere in your family line was a dragon.  It might be something open to all.  It might be a secret passed down through the generations.  Or, it might be unknown to anyone.  But, for some reason, it shows in your.  You’re starting to look a lot like someone you may never have met, as well as, being able to tap into power that most people in your family and most mortals can only dream of.

 

Spellcasting

At 3rd Level, you gain the ability to cast spells as a Sorcerer.  Use the Spellcasting rules of the Eldrich Knight (PHB 75), except you cast using your charisma modifier instead of intelligence.

 

Dragon Ancestry

At 3rd level, you must choose a draconic ancestor using the types presented on page 102 of the Players Hand Book.  Once choose, you may not change this type.  Based on the type of dragon chosen, you gain resistance to the type of damage associated with that dragon.

 

Elemental strike

Beginning at 7th level, when you your action to cast a spell that does the damage of the type associated with your Dragon Ancestry, you can an extra action to make a weapon attack.

 

Draconic Metamorphosis

At 10th level you begin to change to look like your draconic progenitor.  Your body gains scales and possibly small horns as your fore-father/fore-mother.  This makes most conventional armor all but useless, but your natural armor gives your AC equal to 16+dexterity.

 

Draconic Breath

At 15th level, you gain the ability to perform a breath attack as a dragonborn (PHB 34).  The DC for this save is not based on your constitution, but based on your charisma.

Dragon Wings

At 18th level, your metamorphosis completes as you gain a pair of dragon wings.  These are permanent wings that grant you a flight speed equal to your normal movement speed.

Daily Punch 10-17-14 Society Patron Vanity for Pathfinder

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Played a ton of Pathfinder Society this weekend, and I was surprised by the number of people who didn’t want to roll for a day job.  Some of these people just wanted to have their characters do something else.  How about some support for those people….

 

Follower

Patron( 5pp): Be it an art collector, someone who likes to hear your stories, a leader of the Pathfinders, or a wealthy person at your church, someone has taken an interest in you.  This patron will now pay for you to adventure full time removing your need for a day job roll.  After each adventure, you gain five times your current level for your day job roll instead of rolling any skill.

Daily Punch 10-15-14 Snake Speed alternative Monk class feature for DnD Next

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about a different class feature for the monk?

 

Snake Speed

Immediately after you are hit with an attack and the attacker is in reach, you may spend one ki point make an unarmed attacks as a reaction.  If you spend two ki points, you may make the attack before the attacker hits you with an attack as a reaction.  If the attacker is still able to make the attacks after these attack, the attack occurs as normal.  Any effects, powers, feats, or abilities that require or use Flurry of Blows allow apply to this ability instead unless specifically stated different.  This ability is taken instead of Flurry of Blows.
