Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerWickett" data-source="post: 5995771" data-attributes="member: 63">I ran a one-shot this weekend with sorta made-up sorta 5e stats for the PCs.For the sorcerer's "Charm of Ensorcellment," I had it so the target got a save if they had more than 13 HP (10 + the caster's Charisma modifier). If they succeeded, the spell was basically a 1-round dominate. If they failed, the spell charmed them for a few hours, and let you dominate them for 3 rounds. If they had 13 or fewer HP, they auto-failed the save.For the fighter's Sword of Sharpness, you could activate it once per hour on a hit. It would delimb you if, after it dealt damage, you had 13 HP or fewer (10 + attacker's Strength modifier). If you had more HP, you'd make a save, and on a success you'd just be a little mangled, taking a penalty until you could properly rest (not that that would ever happen with most monsters).It seemed to work pretty smoothly. Except I didn't have any "big bads" I had to worry about getting one-shotted. Oh, and that I hadn't defined "delimb," and a player kept joking that he was going to poke an enemy and his arms and legs would all fall off. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
