If there is something homebrewed posted elsewhere on the forum and you would like to add it to the game, for instance a spell. Then post it here for vetting and I will let you know if it can be done.

Thunder Kick
L0
When you miss a melee attack roll, you may cast this cantrip as a free action to make a kick attack at the same bonus to hit and do a fixed d6 damage(no modifications to damage roll.
This is one of my favs I invented. It was distributed by publishing the spell in a "newspaper"

This is one of my favs I invented. It was distributed by publishing the spell in a "newspaper" Hmm, I am loathe to have cantrips do damage, especially a full d6. And after a melee attack by a magic-user has failed, they get a free action to cast a spell seems a bit much to me. Even a spell cast before you enter melee to give you a second attack with a kick after your staff or dagger attack fails is way too powerful for a cantrip. You are making a magic-user with no fighter training better than a first level Fighting Man, seems like it should be at least a second level spell to me. Comments? |

If you drill down on this you first must be in melee, second you must miss and I didn't think about the difference in systems, so ya d6 is too much(d4?) in actual gaming , the vast majority of mages who memorize this use it quite infrequently. |

(I am enjoying arguing about my spells)
Preserve
L2 Mage
duration 24 hours or discharge
cast touch on self or other
The next time you take damage Preserve calls up a force field of purple energy. The Damage is ignored, whiether it is stubbing your toe, bitten by a mosquito, or a
50 point fireball. Protection is discharged when used.
Rhino Skin
L2
This spell is not cast it presents a barrier always stopping 1 point of damage from every incoming source.(compare to invisibility and Mirror Image)

In OD&D you cannot cast in melee, if you do the opponent is attacking a completely undefended spell caster and if he touches you the spell is disrupted. Since you are not defending with a weapon as you are casting a spell, he will get a bonus to hit you. |

Rhino Skin L2 This spell is not cast it presents a barrier always stopping 1 point of damage from every incoming source.(compare to invisibility and Mirror Image) Preserve I will allow to soak up 20 hit points of damage and give you a +1 on your saving throw versus spells. Expand on Rhino Skin, is it a spell or a magic item, if it is a spell it must be cast. Explain more detail. |
