Thinking of putting together an anti-devil book for DnD 5e.  Everybody needs something to fight the demons and devils.  Let’s look at the elves!

 

 

A Taste Of Power

Prerequisite: elf or fey

The fey live long enough for money to not matter.  The only way to corrupt them is via a taste of true power.  Three times per day you may reroll against a spells and other magical effect taking the higher result.

Dark One’s Touch

Prerequisite: human

You’re more human than human with a bit of fiend in your family.  You gain resistance to either acid or fire damage.  Once you choose, you can not change this choice.

Product– Keeping it Classy: The Cleric

System-Dungeons and Dragons 5e

Producer– DMs Guild

Price– $ 5.95 https://www.dmsguild.com/product/290873/Keeping-It-Classy-The-Cleric?affiliate_id=658618

TL; DR– Routinely amazing 93%

290873

Basics-Time for class options for my favorite class-the cleric!  How does this one stack up compared to the others?

Mechanics or Crunch–  This is a well done book with a few things that I would not have done myself.  The book has new cleric domains. That was a given, and these are well done mechanics.  Perhaps a few too many rely on playing with the channel ability, but I like them all. The book has new items.  Again, solid things I expected. The book also has a new race. This I am less a fan of. It’s well done, but I want all the races set out before I start a game.  That’s just preference. What I would like instead is more spells and feats. But, that’s again a personal preference. What is here is solid, but I would just like more.    4/5

Theme or Fluff–  The Keeping It Classy series keeps it classy here.  The race is well done. The domains feel right. The items have good fluff to make you feel them in the world.  I love what is in this book! 5/5

 

Execution–  PDF?  Yep! Hyperlinked?  Yep! Ok, all the things I want standard in a book written in 2019!  It uses public domain art well to break up the flow and makes the book easier to read, so this honestly is how I want books written out.  New art is nice, but for the price you can’t beat what is here! Text is well laid out. If you want solid design of a book, this is a good example to use.  5/5

 

Summary-The Keeping It Classy series is a precision machine that keeps spitting out precision product.  Think less McDonald’s machine and more Fine Dining expectations-the routine should be phenomenal.  And this is true. The book has good races, items, and class parts that if you want new options for your cleric, then this is worth your time.  I’m not as much a fan of new races as other DMs, but the race is well done. I’d just like more other “things” like feats and spells, especially for this spell casting class.  However, that boils down to the problem of me wanting more from this book, which means I like what’s here. This is as always a routinely amazing book from a routinely amazing team.  93%

Daily Punch 12-6-19 The Way of Anger monk monastic tradition for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ 1 Comment

I’ve been known to fly into a crazy rage and I’ve got a black belt. Let’s get some peanut butter into the chocolate!

The Way of Anger

Not all monks practice the art of silent meditation and delicate self-discipline. Some monks fuel their abilities on the anger that burns in their soul. These monks learn to harness that anger and release it at their enemies when the time arises.

The Way of Rage

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you learn to harness your anger to move faster and hit harder. You enter a fugue state where only combat matters as a bonus action on your turn akin to a barbarian’s rage. You gain the following benefits

  • You have advantage on Dexterity checks and Dexterity saving throws.
  • When you use a bonus action to make an attack, you may make an additional unarmed attack. This stacks with bonus action attacks from ki point use.
  • Melee attacks against you are made at disadvantage.

If you are able to cast spells, you can’t cast them or concentrate on them while in this state.

Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven’t attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action.

You can do this a number of times per day equal to your level /3 + 1, minimum 2 per day. Once you have raged this number of times, you must finish a long rest before you can rage again.

Any effect, ability, or feat that would affect a barbarians rage also affect this ability as well.

All Out Attack

At 6th level, your training in focusing for combat bleeds into your ferocity during your rage. If you declare one target as the soul person you will attack this round at the start of your turn, you gain two ki points that you must spend this round in attacks against this target or in advancing on the target. If the target dies or is incapacitated during your round, you may not attack another target but may continue to attack the target’s body or remains.

Hatred

Beginning at 11th level, you now enter a state where you no longer experience the outside world during your rage state. During your rage, you gain resistance to psychic damage and have advantage on all Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws.

Only Violence

At 17th level, you gain the ability to literally let rage keep you alive. If you would be knocked out or killed while in a rage, you are allowed to stay conscious while making death saving throws. Increase the number of death saving throws you are allowed to make before dying by 3 while in a rage. Each round you automatically fail your death saving throw if you stay conscious in a rage. Critical hits on you increase the number of failed death saving throws you have failed by 2. While using this ability, you can not be healed or regain hit points. Each round you gain a number of ki points equal to your number of death saving throws you have currently failed. These addition ki point occur after abilities like perfect self have increased your ki pool. As a free action, you can voluntarily end your rage at the start of your turn and fall unconscious and stabilized at 2 death saving throws failed.
