Daily Punch 10-27-20 Caustic Pop spell for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been on an acid kick lately. How about a new version of fireball mixed with acid arrow?

Caustic Pop

3rd-level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: V, S, M (a ball of slug slime)
Duration: Instantaneous

With a flick of the wrist you throw a blob of acid toward a target within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 4d6 acid damage, and all each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on the first target must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 4d6 acid damage on a failed save. All targets damaged by this spell are covered in acid and must make a Dexterity saving throw at the start of their turns or take 4d6 acid damage each round until they succeed on a saving throw at the start of their turns to removed the acid and end the effect or remove the acid as an action. If the initial ranged spell attack misses, there are no additional effects.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.

Ok, how about one more system with this spell?

Disrupt Balance , Level 1 wizard
CT Special R 30 feet D 2 rd./ lvl.
SV constitution negates SR yes Comp V, S
When the caster points at a living creature in range, the subtle balances that maintain it are disrupted. The creature begins to melt from the inside out taking 1d2 +1 HP per level of the caster acid damage. At the start of the creatures turn, it makes another saving throw, if it fails the spell continues and it takes damage again.

Daily Punch 10-21-20 Disrupt Balance cantrip for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Time to keep rolling with this spell into DnD 5e

Disrupt Blance

transmutation cantrip

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 round

You alter the subtle balances the keep the creature moving causing chaos in essence of the target. Choose a creature in range to makes a Constitution saving throw. On a failure the creature takes 1d6 acid damage. At the start of the creatures next turn, it must succeed at another Constitution saving throw or take the same damage again.

This spell’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

Thoughts? Does the second saving throw prevent the damage from being too high for a cantrip?

Daily Punch 10-19-20 Disrupt Balance spell for Shadowrun 6e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

How about more love for Shadowrun?

Disrupt Balance
RANGE TYPE DURATION DV   DAMAGE
LOS            M        I             5         SPECIAL
Life is balance, and with just a simple push you can destroy it plunging a creature’s internal chemistry into chaos.  Roll Sorcery + Magic vs. Willpower +Body.  The target takes chemical elemental damage required to the net hits and has its body is reduced by half the net hits.  This counts as a corroded for effects that remove damage and effects and a target will only have its body reduced by the arrest effect of disrupt balance, not the cumulative effect of multiple castings. This damage to body is repaired normally over time or via magic.

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Ran an adventure for GenCon 2020. Had a blast doing it, but a player instantly go crazy. How about a spell that can fix that… for a cost.

Transfer Trauma
• Cost: 5 magic points; 1D4 Sanity points
• Casting time: 1 round
Even the most powerful general knows when to sacrifice a few few peons, and you a no good to the gods if mad. When cast on a target, you link your mind to the target. The target will experience your trauma instead, taking all Sanity loss for you at double the rate for the next hour after the initial sanity loss for casting the spell. An unwilling target may counter the spell with an opposed POW roll each time they would lose sanity. If pain is inflicted upon the target when when the spell is cast, it gains one penalty die on the opposed POW roll for each point of damage made during the casting
Alternative names: Mind Bridge, Dark Link of the Mad
