#dnd feat

[jhamkul]

Feats: Abyss Touched (Prerequisite: Strength or Dexterity, and Wisdom 13 or higher) & Abysswalker (Prerequisite: 4th level, Abysswalker feat)

Do I really have to explain the inspiration for these feats and new fighting style? I’ve always thought Artorias is such a cool-designed boss, both mechanically but thematically too, so I wanted to try and make something inspired by the original Abysswalker. Also, we have both Fey and Shadow touched feats, but not an Abyss one, so I thought it would be fitting to fill that gap. Hope you enjoy leaping through the battlefield and being marked by the Abyss.

Mechanic/Feat Idea

Silliest worshipper

Description: You have the ability to use Divine Intervention and all the other “Ask to your God” spells any times you want with an instant recharge only if you use it for something silly (DM’s decision) and if your God is Chaotic-Neutral/Good aligned.

Functionality: You use the spell to ask something silly to your God (another of the same meal you just had, to win a low/no reward slug race, have a nice silly hat, find a good pun on the spot, etc etc) and the God does it, then you feel a pat on your head and hear an astral voice say “Yes, sure darling, no need to use your precious spells for this” you feel warm and then everything turns back to normal, with your wish granted.

This can also work for warlocks only if your patron is Chaotic-Neutral/Good aligned.

In general, this can take effects if your deity is a momma type, even if it’s Lawful/Good but if it is Lawful/Good sometimes it will say things like “But next time use it for good alright sweetie?” making you feel slightly guilty, the more you use it for sillies without using it for something good.

Inspiration: the BG3 playthrough of @dare-to-dm (silly paladins are my favourite, use this so you can have fun in D&D sweetie ❤️)

A Collection of Homebrew Feats

Escape Artist

You’re an expert at avoiding and getting out of tight situations. If you are targeted by an attack that would grapple or restrain you, you add +2 to your Armor Class for that attack. When making skill checks or saving throws to escape or avoid being grappled or restrained, you add 1d4 to the roll.

Mariner

You are an excellent and trained swimmer. You gain the following benefits:

Increase your Strength or Dexterity by 1, to a maximum of 20.

You gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed.

You can survive while suffocating for 1 additional round.

When you make a ranged attack against a target while underwater, you do not have disadvantage while using a weapon’s normal range.

Outsize Strength

Prerequisite: Your size is Small Despite your small size, you have no difficulty wielding large weapons or carrying large objects. You gain the following benefits:

Increase your Strength or Dexterity by 1, to a maximum of 20.

You do not have disadvantage on attack rolls due to your size while wielding weapons with the Heavy property.

When determining how much weight you are carrying, heavy weapons weigh half as much for you.

Prone Fighter

Being prone has less of an effect on your fighting abilities. You gain the following benefits:

Crawling does not cost you extra movement.

You do not have disadvantage on attack rolls as a result of being prone.

You have a +5 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) checks made while you are prone, as long as you do not move on your turn.

Scroll Adept

Prerequisite: Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature You are especially adept at the use and creation of spell scrolls. You gain the following benefits:

You gain proficiency with the Arcana skill. If you are already proficient, you gain a +2 bonus to Arcana checks.

The time and cost it takes for you to create a spell scroll is reduced by half.

You can use a spell scroll even if the spell contained in it does not appear on your spell list.

When you use a cantrip spell scroll, it is not destroyed, and can be reused. With higher level spell scrolls, roll 1d10. If the number you roll is the spell’s level or lower, the spell scroll is destroyed as normal, but if you roll higher than the spell’s level, it can be reused. A roll of 0 always destroys the scroll.

Instead of the spell save DC listed, you use your own spell save DC for spell scrolls, unless the DC on the scroll is higher.

Whip Expert

Prerequisite: Proficiency with whips You use a whip not just for offense, but for utility and defense. You gain the following benefits while you are wielding a whip:

You can use your whip in the same way that you would use a grappling hook, swinging from or climbing up anything you attach your whip to.

While you are within 5 feet of a creature and using a whip, you can attempt to use the whip to grapple it. While grappling a target in this way, it is restrained, but can escape the grapple as normal.

You can grab tiny objects not being worn or carried with your whip, bringing them to a free hand. In addition, when you attack a creature wielding a weapon with your whip, you can forgo any damage you would have dealt to force your opponent to drop an object it is holding in its hands (you choose the item). You may only do so once per turn.

Pet Idea

Cat of Many Cats

Description: A cat that the party can see randomly during their journeys, if they get too close, the cat disappears behind a corner or another obstacle. The second time the party meets the cat, they feel a sense of familiarity looking at the cat, and that will happen only with the Cat of Many Cats. It doesn’t speak if talked to with a spell, it has immunities to be charmed, paralysed, frightened etc etc.

Functionality: Each time the Cat appears in front of the players roll 1d4 and add the result to a value called Cat Value (X). Every night that the players spend in a relatively safe and warm place (inn/tavern/tents/ etc etc) roll 1d20, on a 5 or lower, the Cat will appear outside (the party can’t know that but a cat could be on the outside side of the window or meowing from outside, alarming them). When the party/a player goes out to look for the Cat, they will see a number of times equals to the times that the Cat appeared at the players, after 1 minute of seeing them or after that every player see the cats, whoever saw them falls asleep/in trance for 5 minutes.

Upon awakening the players will receive X Temporary Hit Points. After losing all the X THP, the players feel the same familiar warm of when they saw the cat and gets a Bonus Feature called Cat’s Eye (only those who saw all the Cats and get the THP in the first place).

Cat’s Eye:

+2 to Animal Handling, +2d6 Temporary Hit Points after identifying an Illusion as an illusion, +1d6 to all the spell you cast involving Illusions (Minor Illusion, Invisibility, Mirror Image, Disguise Self, etc etc)

Inspiration: the tweets above, reblogged and inspired by @ur-daily-inspiration which makes perfect sense.

Subclasseptember Day 16: Celestial

I've not actually written many feats so far as a homebrewer. To be fair, 5e rarely made any after publishing the PHB, and the ones that do exist vary wildly in power level.

Divine Revelation. For when a normal revelation isn't enough to emphasize how screwed your enemies are.

Battle Medic

General Feat

Patch up allies in the heat of combat with swift hands and steady nerves. Whether it’s applying a potion mid-battle or stabilizing a downed friend, you’re the lifeline on the frontlines. Who would you trust to save your life in a fight?

one of Larian's funnier bits was taking a feat that is quite bad in 5e D&D and quietly rewriting it to be the best feat in the game and the linchpin of several of its strongest builds

[petrenocka]

you know what fuck it, I'll just tumblr poll this

I want to host, or maybe get hosted in a long term ttrpg campaign not running on D&D or it's "-likes" i.e. Pathfinder. You know, to broaden my palette. I did several non-dnd one-shots but it didn't quite get me clarity as to what to go for.

I pick a new profile picture (of the blorbo) and...the previous one (of the same blorbo) rises from its folder, demanding its stolen throne....................ah....doubt neverending...!
