📋 About This Mod

Mod contains 10 homebrew Blade Cantrips for different damage types within the game as well as a new Blade Cantrip Adept feat. Some of the cantrips are homebrewed by me and others have all taken inspiration or direct implementation from this post: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/83978-homebrew-blade-cantrips-please-give-feedback by Leviathan of Levistus, so credit to him for allowing me to take his ideas for implementation and modify accordingly due to game mechanics.

All the blade cantrips are implemented according to DnD rules and not implementation of larians booming blade. Meaning, the cantrips in this mod are considered cantrips and will not benefit from extra attack. If you want to cast a blade cantrip and use a weapon attack then grab the Blade Cantrip Adept feat that comes in this mod.

All Mind Weaver subclasses are allowed to select 2 Blade Cantrips at Level 2 (except Bright Blade) and all 3 subclasses of Sword Dancers of Eilistraee gain Bright Blade and Blue-Frost Blade at Level 1 automatically.

Blade Cantrip Adept (Feat)

After casting a blade cantrip, you can make one melee weapon attack as a Bonus Action. This attack deals one-third of your weapon damage at Level 4, half weapon damage at Level 5, and full weapon damage at Level 6.

When you select this feat, you can also choose two Blade Cantrips.

Embered Blade (Available to Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard and Mind Weaver)

Strike a creature with a weapon attack, igniting it with unstable embers. If the creature does not move before the start of your next turn, the embers intensify, it takes Fire damage and the effect ends.

At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 Fire damage to the target, and the Embered damage increases to 2d8. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level and 17th level.

Tidal Blade (Available to Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard and Mind Weaver)

Strike a creature with a weapon attack, lacing your steel with a surging current. The target is caught in Undercurrent until the end of its current turn. When Undercurrent ends, it erupts and target must succeed on a Strength Saving Throw or take 1d6 Bludgeoning damage and fall Prone.

At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d6 Bludgeoning damage to the target, and the Undercurrent damage increases to 2d6. Both damage rolls increase by 1d6 at 11th level and 17th level.

Static Blade (Available to Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard, Mind Weaver and Druid)

Strike a creature with a weapon and charging it with lightning until the start of your next turn. If the charged creature or another creature moves within 3m of each other, you may cause lightning to arc between them dealing Lightning dam
