Daily Punch 9-12-16 Crack the Shell feat for Pathfinder

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about a way to take down armor as a monk in Pathfinder?

 

Crack the Shell (Combat)

Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, Ki pool class feature, Wis 13

Benefit: You learn how to channel your ki into the armor of another to devastating effect.  When you make an unarmed strike, you may declare you are using this feat and may spend up to 1 ki point per three character levels.  If you  successfully strike the target and the target takes damage from the blow and the creature must attempt a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 the character’s level + the character’s Wis modifier).  On a failure the armor takes damage equal 5 times the ki points spent.  If the saving throw is successful, the target’s armor is unaffected.  Creatures with natural armor  have the bonus from their natural armor reduced by the number of ki points, up to to the natural armor bonus.  After a week of natural rest or healing magic the natural armor bonus returns.  If the target as multiple armor bonuses from natural and artificial armor, you may choose which one to attack.

Daily Punch 7-26-16 Faith Healer feat for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

 

One more idea that I have been kicking around for a bit.

 

Faith Healer

The power of life courses through your veins, and you share this gift with those you can.  Gain the following:

  • Increase your Charisma ability score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
  • Gain a +2 bonus to Charisma(persuasion) checks.
  • When you use an ability or spell that causes a target that isn’t you to regain hit points, you add your Charisma ability modifier to the amount regained.  If this bonus was from a spell or an ability that is limited to a number of times per day, add as normal.  If this ability functions as if the hit points come from a reserve of hit point you can use through out the day, you must use at least 1/5 of your total reserve for this bonus to function.

Daily Punch 7-14-16 Coordinated Strike feat for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Ok, one more feat before we get back into kicking giants.  Let’s make this happen!

 

 

Coordinated Strike

You and your allies adventure together, drink together, and train together.  You have each other backs in a fight, and you know how to use that to your advantage.  When you are engaged with a target and another character who has this feat is also engaged with the target, you both gain advantage on your melee attacks against the target.

 

Thoughts?  Is this one too powerful?  Is it just enough?

Daily Punch 7-13-16 Punish the Weak feat and metamagic for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about a twofer?  Let’s make this happen-a feat and a metamagic

 

1st-the feat!

Punish the Weak

You capitalize on hurting those who are already reeling.  Gain the following:

  • Increase one ability score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
  • When you use an ability or spell that requires a saving throw and you would have advantage if you used a melee or ranged attack on the target, the target has disadvantage on the saving throw.

 

 

Second, the megamagic-a modified version of the heightened spell

Hunting Spell

When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw to resist its effects and you would have advantage on attacking the target with a melee or ranged weapon, you can spend 1 sorcery points to give one target of the spell disadvantage on its first saving throw made against the spell.

Daily Punch 6-15-16 Thick Skin feat for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about some damage mitigation for a character in DnD 5e?  How about a feat?

 

Thick Skin

You are a solid mass who takes hits, doesn’t care, and keeps moving.  Gain the following:

  • Increase your Constitution by 1, to a maximum of 20.
  • After damage reduction and damage immunity, reduce all damage by 1/4 of your level, to a minimum of one damage reduction.  This damage reduction applies to each single attack, but only once per attack.  An attack that does 5 poison and 5 fire damage is only reduced once, but three magic missiles each have their damage reduced.
