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 10-17-14 Society Patron Vanity for Pathfinder

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Played a ton of Pathfinder Society this weekend, and I was surprised by the number of people who didn’t want to roll for a day job.  Some of these people just wanted to have their characters do something else.  How about some support for those people….

 

Follower

Patron( 5pp): Be it an art collector, someone who likes to hear your stories, a leader of the Pathfinders, or a wealthy person at your church, someone has taken an interest in you.  This patron will now pay for you to adventure full time removing your need for a day job roll.  After each adventure, you gain five times your current level for your day job roll instead of rolling any skill.

Daily Punch 10-15-14 Snake Speed alternative Monk class feature for DnD Next

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about a different class feature for the monk?

 

Snake Speed

Immediately after you are hit with an attack and the attacker is in reach, you may spend one ki point make an unarmed attacks as a reaction.  If you spend two ki points, you may make the attack before the attacker hits you with an attack as a reaction.  If the attacker is still able to make the attacks after these attack, the attack occurs as normal.  Any effects, powers, feats, or abilities that require or use Flurry of Blows allow apply to this ability instead unless specifically stated different.  This ability is taken instead of Flurry of Blows.

Numeria is in full swing, but I was kind of surprised that the artifacts list missed the most obvious item from Star Trek

A replicator is a box of various sizes ranging from a small foot, by foot, by foot desk model to a horse sized models.  This device will create any object that the user can describe to the device with a knowledge(engineering) check equal to the craft check of the object.  The device can only create one object per day and must be provided with enough raw materials (skymetal, gold, rocks, biological material) to create the object with the value equal to the cost of the item.  The entire process takes less the one minute but must be uninterrupted, or the object is destroyed and the components lost.  The number of charges varies based on the size of the object created.

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ 1 Comment

My players built this custom during their last Shadowrun game.  I think this needs a build here.

 

BioBox

Why sneak in when you can be delivered?  the biobox was designed for insertion/extraction jobs.  The box is sized for one human, two human, troll, or two trolls.  The box is led lined, interlaced with biological material prevents assessing, and temperature controlled to prevent thermal scans.  While not standard, the box can be upgraded with air tanks as it is air tight, sound dampeners, electrical warfare devices for electronic dampening, and medical equipment for keeping a target unconscious.

 

Item                   Cost                            Restriction

human                  2,000                             10

two human          3,000                             12

Daily Punch Specialist quality for Shadowrun 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been reading lots of Shadowrun lately.  Let’s see what I can come up with.

 

 

Specialist

Cost: 15 Karma

What you practice, you really practice.  Whether its shooting round after round at the same target at the range or just learning to make that pretty Troll at the bar smile on command, when you focus on something, you make sure you do it well.  When you gain a specialization in a skill, you roll three dice instead of two.
