Once per long rest, you can use a powerful blast that does 3D10 fire damage at the expense of your next turn. The enemy has the opportunity to make a Dexterity saving throw, and if they succeed, only take half damage.
The beam ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried.
Every time you level up. Add an additional 1d12 to the damage. DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + Strength modifier.
Extendable Arm[edit]
You can grapple towards secure objects and creatures with higher Strength than you, or grapple creatures with lower Strength than you, or light objects towards you. Allows grapple checks to be made on creatures within range. For non living targets, it is a Sleight of Hand check with DC dependent on the DM’s discretion.
Both arms can be used simultaneously (doubling its maximum Range) to become like a tight rope which teammates can climb across or up.
It can also be used as a sensory perimeter by having his arms wrap around nearby objects and weave a web like perimeter with the arms that when touched will immediately alert the player even when asleep. The perimeter has radius of 10 feet, or 20 feet in only one direction. If the creature trying to get past the perimeter is intelligent, they can roll Acrobatics to sneak through the arms with a DC equal to 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus.
If the player is properly braced on a sturdy surface, they can use both arms to restrain a target up to two size categories larger. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw with a DC of 8 + your Strength modifier + proficiency bonus or be restrained. The creature can make a Strength or Dexterity check against the player’s Strength check to break free. The player is unable to do anything else until the ability is undone.
Range for linear usage: 1 arm range: 65 feet, 2 arm range: 130 feet. In combat grappling an enemy has range of 15 feet, and disadvantage past 55 feet. Player can shift his aim mid-air by 45 degrees, or 90 degrees with disadvantage. DC is determined by the difficulty of the task as determined by the DM.
