Doombubbles Difficulty Mod

Experimental Changes

These changes are less set in stone and may be turned on/off periodicaly

Initiative D12 (Currently OFF)

Initiative die is now a D12

Potion Sickness (Currently ON)

After being healed by a health potion, you must take a Short or Long Rest before you can be healed again by one.

Explanation: This is an experiment aimed at changing the incentives around "Potion Baths" outside of combat being so strong that they significantly change the rate at which rests are needed.

Main Changes

Tavern Brawler

• Now uses your Proficiency Bonus instead of your Strength modifier

Arcane Acuity

• Stacks capped at 5 instead of 10

Radiating Orb

• Stacks capped at 5 instead of 10

Slashing Flourish

• Ranged Slashing Flourish now must target 2 different entities

Wild Shape: Earth Myrmidon

• Tavern Brawler no longer double dips its damage bonuses
• Now deals 1d10 Thunder damage, in line with the tooltip and the other myrmidon wild shape forms

Vulnerability

Many conditions which previously applied lasting Vulnerability for a damage type will instead now just remove any Resistance to the damage type

• Wet
• Steeped in Bliss
• Aura of Murder (version from Bhaalist Armour and Bloodthirst)
• Chilled
• Brittle

Explanation: I've found that these vulnerability appliers warp the meta for burst damage builds too much for my tastes, so this change leaves them still relevant as a way to bypass Resistance like Elemental Adept.

Scrolls

Randomized scroll loot will no longer include scrolls above a level that a full spellcaster at your party's level could cast
