Notes

• As this is a ritual spell, it is free to cast outside of combat and persists on all recipients (even in not in the active party) until death or a Long Rest. As such, if having someone in the party who can cast this spell, it is advisable to have it active all party members at all times.
  • If cast by a druid or wizard, this spell must remain prepared by the party member who cast it; removing it from the caster's Prepared Spells list immediately removes the buff from all party members whom the caster applied it to.
• This is the only ritual spell in Baldur's Gate 3 which has upcasting benefits; the game allows selecting a higher level spell slot when ritual casting this spell out of combat, though all this does is apply the effect to multiple targets in a single casting.
• The incantations for Longstrider are Properō, the Latin command "Hasten!", Citium, Latin for "Quick", and Ocior, for "Faster".
