D&D 5e spell changes: Difference between revisions

:* Example: {{SAI|Fireball}} (action) and {{SAI|Misty Step}} (bonus action) can be cast during the same turn.

* No spells have a '''somatic component'''. You can cast spells without a free hand.

:* To cast spells from the [[Bard]] spell list, Bards either use their equipped musical instrument or whistle. This visually acts as a spellcasting focus.

** [[Ritual Spells]] are always cast as a ritual, and always take their normal casting time instead of 10 minutes.

* Cantrips get their 2nd damage increase when reaching level 10 instead of level 11, e.g. {{SAI|Fire Bolt}} deals 3d10 by level 10.

When choosing whether to use a reaction spell, players have access to a lot more information than they normally would in D&D 5e. For example:

* When choosing whether to cast a spell that can modify the result of an attack roll, you are told the result of the attack roll, the required roll needed for a hit, and whether the attack roll was a critical hit or miss.

* When choosing whether to use an ability that can modify the result of another creature's spell, you are told the name of the spell being cast, whether or not it was upcast, the spell DC, and the result of any saving throw (if applicable).

** No [[Arcana]] check is needed to determine the type of spell being cast.

|{{SAI|Friends}}||-||You lose -10 reputation with whoever you cast Friends on when the spell ends in Balanced [[difficulty]] and above. This can sometimes be avoided by casting friends while under effects of [[Disguise Self]] except against Playable Origins.

|{{SAI|Guidance}}||-||The bonus to ability checks is applied automatically until the spell ends. Using it once does not end the spell. You can cast this during mid conversation without consequences, Example: Persuading a guard who believes you are a thief, in tabletops casting guidance in front of them for the persuasion would cause them to notice and get penalized by the DM.

|{{SAI|Produce Flame}}||Duration increased from 10 minutes to until Long Rest.||Radius of shed light increased to 30 ft, instead of 10 ft bright and an additional 10 ft dim.

|{{SAI|Thaumaturgy}}||Range reduced from 30 ft to self||Grants advantage on Intimidation and Performance checks.

|Feather fall becomes a bonus action to cast in most scenarios, but there are some cutscenes where you may use the spell as well. Became a '''[[Spells#Ritual%20Spells|Ritual]]''' spell'''.'''

|Became a '''[[Spells#Ritual%20Spells|Ritual]]''' spell'''.'''

|This is part of the attack action, and will only consume the bonus action and spell slot if the attack connects. Unlike the other Smite spells, [[Thunderous Smite]] does not require concentration, since BG3 applies that to the persistent affect which this spell does not have. The target always gets pushed back 10 feet on hit, and the save is only to resist falling prone.  

|{{SAI|Grasping Vine}}||-||Casting time increased to Action from Bonus Action. The vine is treated as a summoned creature which has 6 hit points, an AC of 10, and its own place in the initiative order.

|Rather than any elemental below a certain Challenge Rating, the caster can summon one of four specific types. At level 6, four stronger types become available. Concentration is not required to maintain control of the summoned creature.

|Range reduced to 1.5 m / 5 ft, instead of 60 ft.
