Daily Punch 11-3-14 Rend Muscle Fighting Style for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about hurting your opponents so they can’t hurt you in a Fighting Style?

 

Rend Muscle

When you make an attack, you can cause your opponent to have to make a Constitution Saving Throw equal to 8+proficiency+strength or dexterity modifier (whatever you used for the attack).  If the target fails, they gain a -1 penalty to their attack rolls.  These penalties are cumulative, but may never be larger then your proficiency bonus.  As an example, at level two the maximum penalty you can inflict to attack for a target is a -2 as your proficiency bonus is a +2.

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Ok,with the Knowledge is Power feat, I think my Knowledge-based fighter archetype is ready to roll.

 

Knowledgeable Fighter

You’ve studied in class, listened to the bards, or learned on your own, but in either case, you see the true power of knowledge and how you can hurt others with it.

 

Knowledgeable Fighter (EX)

Gain the Knowledge is Power feat (https://throatpunchgames.com/2014/11/01/daily-punch-10-28-14-knowledge-is-power-fighter-archetype-for-pathfinder/) at first level as your bonus feat.  You must take this as your bonus feat.  Also, all knowledge skills are now class skills for you.  Replaces Bonus 1st Level Feat

 

On the Job Training (EX)

Increase the number of skill ranks you gain each level by 1.  Chose an additional knowledge skill.  You are now trained in that skill.  This replaces Bravery.  Gain this ability again whenever you would have an increase in the bravery skill and cumulative.

 

Lessons Learned (EX)

Choose either Armor Training or Weapon Training.  When you would gain a this ability, gain a +1 to all knowledge skills you are trained in instead.  This replaces weapon training or armor training. Gain this ability again whenever you would have an increase in the ability you choose to replace.  This ability is cumulative.

 

Knowledge Mastery (EX)

When you would gain either the Weapon Mastery or Armor Mastery, based on the choice you made for your Lessons Learned class feature, you instead gain this feature.  When you would gain a bonus from your Knowledge is Power feat to either attack, defense, or saves, now gain a bonus to attack, defense, and saves equal to the total bonus before the bonus would split instead.  This replaces Weapon Mastery or Armor Mastery.

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 9-19-24 Rend Armor Fighting Style for DnD Next

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about something for a DnD Next Fighter?

 

Rend Armor

When you hit an enemy, you may tare and destroy the armor instead of doing full damage.  When you hit an enemy, you may not add your ability modifier to the damage to impose a -1 penalty to the armor class of the enemy.  This penalty stacks with itself, but only be as large as your proficiency bonus.  As an example, if your proficiency bonus is +2, you may only impose a -2 penalty to armor this way.
