Daily Punch 3-26-18 Turn the Other Cheek spell for DnD 5e

I’m going to finish up my giants book from over two years ago.  Time to put this one to bed, so let’s build up some material for the book!

Turn the Other Cheek

1st-level abjuration

Casting Time: bonus action or reaction
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 round

Until the spell ends, one willing creature you touch is charged with the power of a vengeful god.  If a target is attacked while the spell is active or you cast this as a reaction to an attack, the target makes an attack as no action against any creature in melee range that attacks this spell’s target with a weapon or spell with a +1 bonus on the attack.  If the attack caused by this spell hit, the creature takes equal damage to the amount dealt to the target of this spell.

Daily Punch 3-19-18 Spell Tattoo for Call of Cthulhu, 7th edition

Played some Cthulhu over the weekend, and this idea came up.

Spell Tattoos

Some practioners of the art don’t rely on books or scrolls, but etch their foul words on their very skin. Any caster may tattoo the a spell into their skin performing any checks as part of the spell then. The spell deals an additional 1d4 sanity damage and 1d2 hit points of damage in addition to its normal costs. The spell is maintained for a number of days equal to the bearers power divided by 10, rounded down. A caster may active a spell without it being an action on their turn but may only activate one per turn. When a spell is activated, it’s magic is used up, but the spell may be reinked to reactivate the magic. A spell may be learned from a magic tattoo even if the bearer isn’t alive.

Daily Punch 1-25-17 Portal Pouch spell for DnD 5e

Let’s make a low level conjuration spell. Credit to my wife for the original idea!

Portal Pouch

1st-level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: touch
Components: V, S, M (two non-magic bags of roughly the same size)
Duration: 8 hours

When you finish this spell, you link two bags together, so opening one bag shows the contents of both. Only one bag may be opened at a time. Opening one causes the other to close, and both bags register as carrying the weight of all items in both bags. When a bag is forced to be closed by opening another, all items in the closing bags opening are expelled with no damage. Only items that can fit in the bag are allowed to move from one bag to another. A linked bag may only have a total volume of a quarter of a cubic yard. Placing any item that has an extra-dimensional space such as a portable hole or bag of holding acts as if a bag of holding is placed into a portable hole.

At higher levels.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the number of bags that can be linked increases by one for each slot level above 1st.

With an ululating cry, you summon from around you two beast , magical or otherwise, appropriate to the terrain you are in of challenge rating 7 or lower. These are not conjurations, but real beasts from the area.

The beasts are friendly to you and your companions for the duration. Roll initiative for the creatures, which have their own turns. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required by you), as long as they don’t violate their alignment. If you don’t issue any commands to the beasts, they defends themselves from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions.

If your concentration is broken, the creatures don’t disappear. Instead, you lose control of the beasts, they becomes indifferent toward you and your companions, and it might attack. An uncontrolled creature can’t be dismissed by you, and it leaves 1 minute after you summoned it.
