Talk:Powerful Punch (5e Spell)

Nerfing

Sup! I severely reduced the power of your spell. However, if you want this spell in the same level you have originally created, i advise you to make it a 1st-level spell, and try to change up things to distinguish it from thunderous smite. Cheers! Anastacio (talk) 18:15, 29 August 2022 (MDT)

I don't know why this isn't a melee spell attack. Is it for some kind of niche monk/wizard build? Marasmusine (talk) 11:32, 31 August 2022 (MDT)

I think the idea was to create a unarmed version of a "Booming Blade" spell. Actually, let me correct myself: OP's idea was to make this basically a "smite" spell for unarmed strike, but as a cantrip. I found it was a bit too powerful for a smite spell to be a bonus action without nerfing the damage into oblivion, so i chose to make this an unarmed "blade spell" type. There's not really a reason for this to not be a spell attack kind of spell. Feel free to change it though. Anastacio (talk) 11:50, 31 August 2022 (MDT)
