My poor brother can’t hit. Let’s help him.
General
FINE! I’LL HIT YOU NEXT TIME! Every turn you make at least one attack roll and you fail to hit with any attack that turn, you gain an increasing +1 circumstance bonus to your next attacks the next turn. This bonus can increase up to your proficiency bonus used in the attack roll. When you hit, this bonus is lost instantly.
Thoughts?
Why not focus on hurting!?
General
Let’s hurt someone! Choose a damage type. When you deal damage to a creature of the chosen damage type, deal additional damage equal to your proficiency modifier of your weapon attack roll or magic attack proficiency modifier depending on if this a weapon attack or a spell.
Played a game with my brothers, and my brother the crit machine just could not roll above a 1. He was mad. let’s fix this!
General
When you swing hard, you are at least guaranteed to get somewhere! When you roll damage for a critical hit and roll less than the maximum damage of a normal hit, increase the damage to the maximum damage of a normal hit.
Thoughts?
Had this come up in my weekend game.
General
Practice makes perfect. When you spend a hero point, instead of rerolling the die, you can instead add an untyped bonus equal to half your proficiency bonus.
Thoughts?
I think detect magic should get a bit more love from the schools that can cast it. Let’s fix up the Arcane Senses feat a bit.

Prerequisites expert in divine, occult, or primal
Magic bleeds from one tradition to another.. You can cast 1st-level detect magic at will as an innate spell. If you’re a legendary in a chosen skill, the spell is heightened to 3rd level
My brother is SUPER mad when he uses a heropoint and he fails. Let’s cushion that blow.
General
You’re a hero, so how can you miss!? When you fail a roll, use a hero point to reroll, and fail, you regain that hero point. You can not use this again for an hour in game time.
Thoughts?
Somedays you just suck at rolling.
General
Prerequisites expert in Perception
Your near preternatural senses sometimes save you. When you roll a Perception check for Initiative and your dice roll is under 5, you can reroll the check taking the second result.
Time to look back on your day.
General
Spending a bit of time looking back can make you better. Before a rest, you can spend 30 minutes to review the day. Choose a die roll you failed at the day before. After your rest, when you attempt that same roll, you can choose to gain a +1 circumstance bonus to that roll. You can do this a number of times equal to your intelligence modifier, minimum 1.
Thoughts?
Had a blast playing with the family and this idea come up.
General
When you roll damage for a weapon attack using a rune to add damage dice and at least two dice show the same number, roll an additional damage die and add it to the total.
