Daily Punch 8-15-14 Controlled Chaos Feat for DnD Next

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

So I’ve written about the DnD 5th edition Player’s Handbook that I got at GenCon.  I watched one of my players absolutely LOVE the wild magic effects of a Sorceror.  How about a feat to help with the wildness of the class?

 

Controlled Chaos

You are a master of magic and have begun to see the rhythms that exist in the randomness of the art

You may take this feat multiple times and its effects stack.  Gain the following benefits:

  • Add one to the number needed for your wild magic effects to occur.
  • Roll an additional die when your wild magic effect occurs.  You may choose which die you want to use for your wild magic effect.

Daily Punch 8-11-14 Death From Above feat for Pathfinder

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about a feat for Pathfinder? Who doesn’t love playing Mario with their enemies…

Death From Above

When you strike from above, you hit with devastating results

When you jump down on an enemy from a height of equal to or greater than twice the enemy’s height, increase your critical attack range by two. You can do this effect by jumping at the opponent instead of falling, but you must succeed on a jump check that results in you at least being twice as high as your opponent.

Daily Punch 8-8-14 From the Hip feat for Pathfinder

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been thinking about the heroes I love to read about, mostly the sneaky bastards…this one goes out to them!

 

From the Hip

Wen you draw down for a fight, you move so fast you strike with the weapons hilt before then with your blade before you opponents know what hit them.

Prerequisite: Quick Draw

Benefit: When you draw a weapon for the first time in a combat and use the quick draw feat, you gain an extra attack that uses your highest attack bonus and the weapons normal damage dice with the exception that this attack deals bludgeoning damage.

Daily Punch 8-7-14 Extra specialization quality for Shadowrun 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about being able to specialize in more then one thing in Shadowrun 5e?

 

Extra Specialization

Cost: 10 + 5  karma per specialization beyond the first.

You focus on one area and really spend your time working on that to the point all facets of that task are almost second nature to you.  When you take this quality, you may spend additional karma to specialize in a skill that you are already specialized in.  You must specialize in a second area.

Daily Punch 8-4-14 On the Money quality for Shadowrun 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I’ve had quite a few players at my table get mad when they only grazed a target, let’s fix that.

 

On the Money

Cost: 4 Karma

Life is a lot of absolutes for you: food/no food, rent money/sleeping in the car, hit/miss.  When you attack a target with a melee or ranged weapon and you score a grazing hit, you are considered to have hit the target doing base damage for the weapon or ammunition.

Daily Punch 8-1-14 Summoning Sickness quality for Shadowrun 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been making a lot of good qualities for Shadowrun 5e, how about a bad one….

 

 

Summoning Sickness

Bonus: 5 Karma per Level (Max 4)

Requirement: Skill ranks or skill group points in Conjuring skills equal to the level taken for this quality.

You play with spirits, but they don’t play nice with you (kind of like cheap McHugh’s sliders)!  When you use a skill from the Conjuring skill group, you gain extra drain equal to the level(s) you take in this quality.  Determine if the drain is physical or stun before adding the additional drain from this quality.

Daily Punch 7-31-14 Fading Fade quality for Shadowrun 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I’ve heard Technomancers feel left out, and that complex forms are not very good.  Its powerfull, but the backlash is too much for it to be usefull.  So, how about a quality that will help them?

 

 

Fading Fade

Cost: 7 karma per rating (Max rating 3 )

You are a master of your mind and the matrix.  The inner math that makes the wireless world go round is something that you don’t even think about anymore.  When you use a complex form, reduce the fading value by an amount equal to the level of this quality.

Daily Punch 7-30-14 Special Spell Training quality for Shadowrun 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ 4 Comments

We all focus on what we’re good at, so how about some focus for spell casters in Shadowrun?

 

Special Spell Training 

Cost: 10 Karma

Benefit: You’ve spent time working on one type of spell, so much so you don’t even feel the spell as it drains you.  When you take this quality choose a type of spell (combat, detection, etc), when you cast that spell of that type reduce the drain by 2 to a minimum of 1.

Daily Punch 7-29-14 54 Card Pick-Up feat for Pathfinder

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I’m currently reading a few of the Pathfinder Harrow books, and I think this feat will help.

 

54 Card Pick-Up

You know how to use the Harrow, either to help or harm, but when you’re done you always get your cards back.

Benefit:  When you use a Harrow deck in a way that destroys a card or cards, if you shuffle the deck for five consecutive minutes after the card is destroyed the card or cards reappear in the deck.  These new cards are unmarked, and allow you to use the Harrow Deck for all feat, powers, or class abilities that requires a full deck of cards to draw from.
