|[[Bane]]
|<nowiki>-</nowiki>
|Instead of  choosing 3 creatures, the player targets a 30ft radius area, the center of  which must be within the 30ft range. Three enemy creatures within the chosen  area are targeted at random.
|-
|[[Bless]]
|<nowiki>-</nowiki>
|Instead of  choosing 3 creatures, the player targets a 30ft radius area, the center of  which must be within the 30ft range. Three allied creatures within the chosen  area are targeted at random.

|Range increased  from 15 to 17 ft
|<nowiki>-</nowiki>
|-
|[[Charm Person]]
|Range increased  from 30 to 60 feet, duration reduced from 1 hr to 1 minute
|Worth emphasizing  that you will lose reputation with whoever you cast Charm Peson on when the  spell ends. This can sometimes be avoided by casting friends while under the effects of Disguise Self. At launch these reputation drops will only likely  be present at higher difficulties.
|-
|[[Chromatic Orb]]
|Range reduced from  90 to 60 feet
|The spell will only do 3d8 damage if you select thunder damage. If you choose any of the other elements it does 2d8 damage and creates a relevant surface at the  target’s feet.
|-
|[[Colour Spray]]
|Range increased  from 15 to 17 ft
|Always blinds creatures with an HP total of 33 hit points, it does not roll the 6d10.
|-
|[[Command]]
|<nowiki>-</nowiki>
|<nowiki>-</nowiki>

|[[Compelled Duel]]
|Duration reduced  to 3 rounds
|The spell does NOT end if you attack another creature, or if an ally harms or targets, or end your turn more than 30 ft away.
|-
|[[Create or Destroy  Water]]
|The area of effect  is a 15 ft radius circle, rather than 30 ft cube. This radius increases by 5 ft per spell level.

|<nowiki>-</nowiki>
|-

|<nowiki>-</nowiki>

|<nowiki>-</nowiki>

|[[Longstrider]]
|Duration increased until long rest, concentration still not required
|<nowiki>-</nowiki>
|-
|[[Mage Armour]]
|Duration is until  long rest
|<nowiki>-</nowiki>
|-
|[[Magic Missile]]
|Range reduced to  60 ft
|<nowiki>-</nowiki>
|-
|[[Protection from  Evil and Good]]
|Duration is increased from 1 hr to until Long Rest, concentration is still required.
|The effect does not mention granting advantage on future saves if the target is already  charmed, frightened, or possessed. Verification required on if this means the spell automatically ends such conditions, or if the spell has no effect on an existing condition.
|-
|[[Ray of Sickness]]
|While the spell's description says two turns, it is effectively until the end of your next turn like in 5e
|<nowiki>-</nowiki>
|-
|[[Sanctuary]]
|Range increased to 60 ft
|Enemies cannot attack the warded target for the duration of the spell. They do not get to make a save and try to attack the protected creature.
|-
|[[Searing Smite]]
|<nowiki>-</nowiki>
|This is part of the attack action, and will only consume the bonus action and spell slot if the attack connects. The concentration is to maintain the burning effect on the  target, rather than the spell's effect on your weapon.
|-
|[[Shield of Faith]]
|Duration increased  til long rest for as long as you can maintain concentration
|<nowiki>-</nowiki>
|-
|[[Sleep]]
|Range reduced to 60 ft, duration reduced to 2 turns

|-
|[[Speak with Animals]]
|Duration increased to until long rest, and concentration is still required.
|Owlbears are  classified as beasts in BG3, so this spell allows you to communicate with  them. Similar houserules may exist elsewhere
|-
|[[Tasha's Hideous  Laughter]]
|Range increased to  60 ft
|Currently the spell also applies the unconscious effect, meaning that melee attacks within 5 feet automatically crit. (possible bug)
|-
|[[Thunderous Smite]]
|<nowiki>-</nowiki>
|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.
|-
|[[Thunderwave]]
|Cube size slightly increased from 15 ft to 17 ft
|<nowiki>-</nowiki>
|-
|[[Witch Bolt]]
|Range increased  form 30 ft to 60 ft

|-
|[[Wrathful Smite]]
|Verification required on duration
|This is part of  the attack action, and will only consume the bonus action and spell slot if the attack connects. The concentration is to maintain the frightened effect on the target, rather than the spell's effect on your weapon.
