Drunken Master... wizard!

[Kzach]

Just realised something playing the wizard. Intoxicated affects checks and attacks. Wizards don't make attacks on most of their spells. Drunken Master Wizards ftw!

I can imagine a drunken slayer would be quite good too - guaranteed damage if you miss

I doubt the Drunken DR sticks around, but it is amusing.

A melee drunken wizard casting shocking grasp on metal armoured opponents gets DR 1d6 and the advantage negates the disadvantage for the attack

There's three certainties in life: death, taxes, and that the intoxicated condition has been swiftly fixed at development HQ.

After all, we don't want the Moral Majority rising up again and howling about how D&D encourages alcoholism via legions of pickled spellcasters.

Dwarven Wizard Defenders. High Con, casting Shield, Guardian theme only shielding others while intoxicated. All Hail the Glorious Stout Shields of Stout!

It should be temp HP, but I think you are underestimating the impact of having disadvantage on every check. This isn't just a combat game, right?

So they'd fail saves and skill checks a lot... they'd still be tanks that obliterated everything in their path

Ah, but it would be Glorious!

Drunken Wizards don't give a fig newton about your 'reality' and will forge their own!
That settled, how about we convert a spellbook to a massive cup like the Stanley Cup inscribed not with names of winners but spells.
*Rolls vs Wis*
*17!*
*stupid disadvantage*
*Rolls a 2*
This is an awesome idea. I will wear my Tome-Stein as a helmet!
