Daily Punch 7-21-15 Extra Spells feat for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ 2 Comments

How about getting extra spells based on your ability score for DnD 5e?  Let’s see what you think-

Extra Spells

You are a practiced spell caster who is either truly touched by the gods or a master in your own right.  Gain an number of extra spell slots equal to your spell casting ability modifier.  You may use these to cast one extra spell for each level you can cast spells.  You may not use these extra spell slots to cast more than one spell of the same level.  As an example, a wizard with an intelligence of 16 could cast three extra spells, and could cast those extra spells at spell levels 1, 2, and 3.  But that same wizard could not cast extra spells at levels 2, 3, and 3.  When you gain this feat, you must choose a spell casting class that will gain the extra spells.

Daily Punch 7-16-15 Double Chop fighting style for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ 2 Comments

Watching my players play some DnD 5e, I thought this fighting style up watching my poor two weapon fighter miss way too many times.

Double Chop

When you wield two weapons, you may forego your second attack to make one attack roll.  If you do, you gain advantage on a single weapon attack.  Class features, abilities, spells, and other effects such as a rogue’s sneak attack do not trigger on advantage gained in this way.
