Daily Punch 12-8-15 Acid Vial spell for Shadow of the Demon Lord

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I want to make a new tradition.  We have technology, but what about alchemy?  I’m a biochemist, so let’s make some chemistry in Shadow of the Demon Lord!

 

ACID VIAL                                          ALCHEMY  ATTACK 0

Target One creature within medium range

________________________________                  

You quickly pull a vial of solvent off you belt and throw it at the target.  Make a Intellect attack roll against its Agility.  On a success, the target takes 1d3+1 damage and the target is covered in the acid.  For the next minute, the target will make an Agility challenge roll at the start of each of its turns.  If it fails, the target takes 1d3 damage.  If it succeeds, the target shacks off the acid and no longer needs to make any more challenge rolls from this spell.

You  creature a medium mechanical servant within the area.  The servant cannot attack, but it can take its own actions, if directed to do so.   It unerringly obeys all commands, but may do so in its own way or comment as it and the GM feels necessary.  The servant speaks all the languages you know but also know two more then you do.  The servant has the following stats:

Let’s keep the hits rolling for Shadow of the Demon Lord

 

Extra Hand         TECHNOLOGY UTILITY 2

Duration 1 hour___________                  

With a flick of the wrist, you turn on the goggles.  They burn out quickly, but they do provide some interesting benefits before they do.  These googles give you darksight, and the ability to see just on the other side of some solid objects.  You can see up to 10 feet on the other side of an object, and solid objects you can see through appear to be smokey and hazy.  Two feet of wood, 1 foot of stone, or 1 inch of metal block this enhanced vision.

Daily Punch 12-1-15 Sonic Shove cantrip for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been designing spells for something secret and reading the Sword Coast Adventurers Guide.  Let’s combine those two.

 

Sonic Shove

Evocation cantrip

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 5 feet

Components: V, M (a weapon)

Duration: Instantaneous

As part of this action used to cast this spell, you must make a melee attack with a weapon against one creature within the spell’s range, otherwise the spell fails.  On a hit the target suffers the attack’s normal effects, and a sonic boom infuses the area.  That creature must make both a Strength and Constitution saving throw.  If it fails the Strength saving throw, the creature is moved 5 feet away, knocked prone, and you are no longer considered engaged if the creature does not have reach to attack you with one of its melee weapons.  If it fails the Constitution saving throw, the creature is dealt an extra 1d4 thunder damage.

This spell’s damage and thrown distance increases when you reach higher levels.  At 5th level, the spell’s thunder damage increases to 2d4 and the thrown distances increases to 10 feet.  The distance increases to 15 feet and 3d4 thunder at 11th level, and to 20 feet and 4d4 thunder at 17th level.

Daily Punch 10-12-15 Scald spell for Shadowrun 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I’m teaching at a college, and in chem class we’re covering specific heat.  Water has the highest specific heat I can think of.  Let’s use that in SR!

Scald
(INDIRECT, ELEMENTAL)
Type: P Range: LOS Damage: P
Duration: F rounds Drain: F + 2
Geyser
(INDIRECT, ELEMENTAL)
Type: P Range: LOS (A) Damage: P
Duration: F rounds Drain: F + 4
You know why the Stuffer Shacks Soupper Bites burn you so hard?  It’s the filling!  A few crazy mages are doing the same to their enemies.  It’s a tougher spell as it mixes water and fire magic at the same time, but it hurts like the dickens!  This spell hits either one target with a ball of super heated water or several targets.  The target(s) are all dealt fire damage as heat with none of that nasty extra fire in the area.  This damage is treated as fire for purposes of resisting and reducing damage.  However, what does happen is the targets are covered in boiling water that sticks on the target doing damage.  At the start of the targets first action each turn on its first initiative pass that turn, after the first the target is delta force – the number of rounds since the spell was cast fire damage again as the boiling water burns the target over time.  A target can avoid the subsequent damage by using a complex action to remove its soaked clothing or by brushing off the water.  If a mage critically cliches while casting this spell, the spell goes off prematurely and coats the mage in the water causing damage as if the spell was cast on the character.

Daily Punch 10-8-15 Shield the Faithful cantrip for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I like characters that protect others.  Let’s make a cantrip for clerics who do less damage but help a bit more.

Shield the Faithful

Abjuration cantrip

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 50 feet

Components: V,S

Duration: Instantaneous

Choose a creature in range.  That creature get +1 to armor class until the start of your next round, and then choose a creature engaged with the primary target to make a Constitution saving throw.  On a failure, that creature is bathed in scorching light and takes 1d6 radiant damage.

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

Daily Punch 9-14-15 Sealing Goo spell for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I’m reading the latest Forgotten Realms novel, and I have an idea from a spell I saw.

 

Sealing Goo

1st-level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action or 1 reaction

Range: 50 feet

Components: V, S

Duration: 1 hour

You create sticky goo that seals a target within.  This spell can be used in two different ways.  If used against an unwilling target as an action, the targeted creature must make a Dexterity saving throw.  On a failure, the creature is restrained.  A creature can attempt to escape the goo with a Strength saving throw as a move or an action.  If used against a willing target as a reaction in response to the creature being damage, the target gains 1d6 temporary hit points as you seal the target’s wounds with the spell.  Only the wound on the creature is targeted, so the willing target is not restrained.  In either case if the spell duration ends, the target is freed from the goo.  The goo has 10 hit points and is resistant to bludgeoning and piercing damage, but vulnerable to fire damage.  If the goo is removed from the willing target and the target still has temporary hit points, all temporary hit points are lost.

At Higher Levels. For each spell slot cast higher than 1st, increase the hit points of the goo by 4 and the amount of temporary hit points granted by 1d6.

Daily Punch 9-8-15 Iron Skin Magic Spell for Shadow of the Demon Lord

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I like what I see from Shadow of the Demon Lord.  Let’s build onto what I see.

Iron Skin                                                               Technomancy utility 0

Duration 1 hour                                                                                           

For the duration, your skin becomes as hard as iron.

You reduce all damage you take from weapons by 1 + your level per attack.

Your fists also do 1d3 instead of the normal damage.

If your normal unarmed damage is higher, increase the damage

one step.
