Daily Punch 11-9-20 Disfigure spell for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been thinking of some spells I’ve seen in movies where the villain curses the hero, and the hero is disfigured. Can we do something like that?

Disfigure

5th-level necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: 30 days

You throw raw hate at a target in range. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. If the target fails, you inflect a horrible curse upon the target bending its physical form to break spirit and spine. The target has a -2 penalty to saves and checks with one ability, a -10 feet penalty to its speed, or a -1 penalty to all attacks for the duration of the spell. A target can be affected by multiple castings of this spell, but each casting must cause a different effect.

A wish spell is the only spell can can end this effect early, you may end this spell with a thought at any time, or your death ends the curse as well.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th or 8th level, the duration is 1 year. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th level, the spell lasts until it is ended by a wish spell.

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I hurt my upper respitory a few years ago, so when the seasons change, I start barking. Normally it draws looks, but for some reason, this year I get a bit more stares…

How about a spell for that?

Wracking Cough

2nd-level necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action

You point at a creature in range and whisper vile words at it. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. If it fails, it becomes infected with a fast acting disease as it begins to cough uncontrollable tearing its lungs apart from the inside dealing 2d6 necrotic damage. Each round at the start of the creatures turn, it must make another Constitution saving throw. If it succeeds the effect end, but if it fails it continues to cough taking 2d6 necrotic damage. Then all creatures that are engaged with the target must also make a Constitution saving throw. Upon a failure, the creature is affected by the spell taking damage as above. If a creature saves against this spell once, it is immune from this one casting of the spell, but can be affected again by a different casting of this spell. Immunity to magical diseases prevents a target from being affected. The cycle of infection continues until all creatures save against the spell or you are no longer concentrating on the spell.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd.

Time to keep rolling with this spell into DnD 5e

Disrupt Blance

transmutation cantrip

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.

Daily Punch 7-31-20 Transfer Trauma spell for Call of Cthulhu 7th Ed

~ 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
