Spells for Punching
Added 2020-08-10 10:40:31 +0000 UTCSometimes even the most cautious mage has to get up and smack somebody in the faceβmake that smack count. With these 11 new spells in your repertoire you'll be unleashing storm kicks and incinerating roundhouse strikes right alongside warrior allies, and when it really becomes a dire fight then maybe even a godstrike! Pugilistically designed by Peter Martin, illustrated by Herman Lau.

While I can't make an official judgment call on that for licensing reasons (among other things), I can say that if an individual GM wanted to do that, I would be very happy if a) it worked out well and b) they told me about it. :)

2020-08-18 17:08:57 +0000 UTCYes, it's supposed to be a cantrip. I can't believe that we missed that one with all the editing passes we did, but yes, it's supposed to be a cantrip.

2020-08-15 22:58:07 +0000 UTCIs phantasmal talons supposed to be a 1st level spell? I've never seen a 1st level spell scale with character level before. Is it supposed to be a cantrip?

2020-08-12 02:03:34 +0000 UTCI don't disagree at all - that language in the spells is just kind of a nod to the occasional monk (or other unarmed strike-based class) multiclass. I figured if the spells were designed to augment your unarmed strike, if that alone was more damaging, you might as well get the bonus. But yeah, a high-level cleric, unless they have a belt of giant strength or something, is not going to punch very hard at all.

2020-08-10 17:44:09 +0000 UTCNot gonna lie. . . I laughed at Godstrike doing your unarmed strike damage +24d6. Because the unarmed strike damage of a 17th+ level Cleric is pretty comically insignificant compared to the spell's damage.
