Playing the game

Flanking

When a creature and at least one of its allies are adjacent to an enemy they can see and on opposite sides or corners of the enemy's space, they are flanking that enemy. While a creature is incapacitated, prone, restrained, or flanked, it is incapable of flanking. A Large or larger creature is flanking as long as at least one square or hex of its space qualifies for flanking.

Creatures who are flanking gain a +2 to attack rolls against the flanked creature.

If against a medium or smaller creature, and a third ally stands on a open space next to the creature, the attack roll bonus becomes +5. For Large or larger creatures, 4 creatures need to surround it to obtain the +5 bonus.

At the DM's discretion, creatures that are not disadvantaged by multiple opponents due to their type (like Oozes) are immune to being flanked.

Hitting Cover

The optional rule from the Dungeon Master's Guide, p272, applies when hitting targets behind cover:

If an attack roll falls within a range low enough to miss the target but high enough to strike the target without the bonus provided by cover, the object used for cover is struck. If a creature is providing cover for the missed creature and the attack roll exceeds the AC of the covering creature, the covering creature is hit.

Ammunition

You can spend 1 minute after combat to recover every spear, javelin, dagger, or other melee weapon with the Thrown property that you used for ranged attacks in the area, except those that the DM determines to be irrecoverable.

Similarly, you can recover half of every every arrow, bolt, dart, or stone used in a ranged attack that scored a regular hit, except those that the DM determines to be irrecoverable.

Two-Weapon Fighting

When you take the Attack action and attack with a melee weapon that you're holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different melee weapon that you're holding in the other hand. You don't add your ability modifier to the damage of an attack with your off-hand, unless that modifier is negative. If you can make more the one attack using the attack action, such as with the Extra Attack class feature, you can use either hand to make the attack as long as both weapons are used by the end of the attack action.

To benefit from Two-Weapon Fighting, you must either:

1. be wielding two Light melee weapons.

2. be wielding one one-handed melee weapon in one hand and either a club, dagger, light hammer, or sickle in the other.

If either weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon, instead of making a melee attack with it.

Short Rests

Short rests only last 10 minutes instead of one hour but you can only benefit from 2 short rests per long rest.

Flames wreathe one creature you can see within range. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. It takes 8d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On a failed save, the target also burns for the spell's duration. The burning target sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. At the end of each of its turns, the target repeats the saving throw. It takes 4d6 fire damage on a failed save, and the spell ends on a successful one. These magical flames can't be extinguished by nonmagical means.

• Components: V, S, M (a miniature platinum sword with a grip and pommel of copper and zinc, worth 250 gp)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You create a sword-shaped plane of force that hovers within range. It lasts for the duration.

When the sword appears, you make two melee spell attacks against targets of your choice within 5 feet of the sword. On a hit, a target takes 3d10 force damage. Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to move the sword up to 60 feet to a spot you can see and repeat these attacks against the same targets or different ones.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 7th.

Phantasmal Killer

4th-level illusion

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 minute

You tap into the nightmares of a creature you can see within range and create an illusory manifestation of its deepest fears, visible only to that creature. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target becomes frightened for the duration. At the end of each of the target's turns before the spell ends, the target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 4d10 psychic damage. On a successful save, the spell ends.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 4th.

Protection from Evil and Good

1st-level abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a drop of holy water or a sprinkle of silver dust)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

Until the spell ends, one willing creature you touch is protected against certain types of creatures: aberrations, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead.

The protection grants several benefits. Creatures of those types have disadvantage on attack rolls against the target. The target also can't be charmed, frightened, or possessed by them. If the target is already charmed, frightened, or possessed by such a creature, the target has advantage on any new saving throw against the relevant effect.

Simulacrum

7th-level illusion

• Casting Time: 12 hours
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (snow or ice in quantities sufficient to made a life-size copy of the duplicated creature; some hair, fingernail clippings, or other piece of that creature's body placed inside the snow or ice; and powdered ruby worth 1,500 gp, sprinkled over the duplicate and consumed by the spell)
• Duration: Until dispelled

You shape an illusory duplicate of one beast or humanoid that is within range for the entire casting time of the spell. The duplicate is a creature, partially real and formed from ice or snow, and it can take actions and otherwise be affected as a normal creature.

It appears to be the same as the original, but it has half the creature's hit point maximum and is formed without any equipment. Otherwise, the illusion uses all the statistics of the creature it duplicates, except that it is a construct.

The simulacrum is friendly to you and creatures you designate. It obeys your spoken commands, moving and acting in accordance with your wishes and acting on your turn in combat. The simulacrum lacks the ability to learn or become more powerful, so it never increases its level or other abilities, nor can it regain expended spell slots or abilities that are recovered at the end of a short or long rest.

If the simulacrum is damaged, you can repair it in an alchemical laboratory, using rare herbs and minerals worth 100 gp per hit point it regains. The simulacrum lasts until it drops to 0 hit points, at which point it reverts to snow and melts instantly.

If you cast this spell again, any currently active duplicates you created with this spell are instantly destroyed.

If this spell is cast by a construct created by this spell, it fails and is wasted.

Snilloc's Snowball Swarm

2nd-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a piece of ice or a small white rock chip)
• Duration: Instantaneous

A flurry of magic snowballs erupts from a point you choose within range. Each creature in a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d6 cold damage and its speed is reduced by 10 feet until the beginning of your next turn. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and its speed is not reduced.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd.

Stoneskin

4th-level abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a diamond worth 100 gp)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

This spell turns the flesh of a willing creature you touch as hard as stone. Until the spell ends, the target has resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

True Strike

Divination cantrip

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You touch one willing creature. Once before the spell ends, the target can roll a 1d4 and add the number rolled to one attack roll of its choice. It can roll the die before or after making the attack roll. The spell then ends.

Wall of Light

5th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a hand mirror)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

A shimmering wall of bright light appears at a point you choose within range. The wall appears in any orientation you choose: horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. It can be free floating, or it can rest on a solid surface. The wall can be up to 60 feet long, 10 feet high, and 5 feet thick. The wall blocks line of sight, but creatures and objects can pass through it. It emits bright light out to 120 feet and dim light for an additional 120 feet.

When the wall appears, each creature in its area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d8 radiant damage, and it is blinded for 1 minute. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and isn't blinded. A blinded creature can make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

A creature that ends its turn in the wall's area takes 4d8 radiant damage.

Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action to launch a beam of radiance from the wall at one creature you can see within 60 feet of it. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target takes 4d8 radiant damage. Whether you hit or miss, reduce the length of the wall by 10 feet. If the wall's length drops to 0 feet, the spell ends.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 5th.

Weird

9th-level illusion

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 minute

Drawing on the deepest fears of a group of creatures, you create illusory creatures in their minds, visible only to them. Each creature in a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on a point of your choice within range must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature becomes frightened for the duration.

The illusion calls on the creature's deepest fears, manifesting its worst nightmares as an implacable threat. At the end of each of the frightened creature's turns, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 4d10 psychic damage. On a successful save, the spell ends for that creature.

Wall of Water

3th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a drop of water)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You create a wall of water on the ground at a point you can see within range. You can make the wall up to 30 feet long, 10 feet high, and 1 foot thick, or you can make a ringed wall up to 20 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick. The wall vanishes when the spell ends. The wall's space is difficult terrain.

Any ranged weapon attack that enters the wall's space has disadvantage on the attack roll and any damage it deals is halved on a hit. Fire damage is halved if the fire effect passes through the wall to reach its target. Spells that deal cold damage that pass through the wall cause the area of the wall they pass through to freeze solid (at least a 5-foot-square section is frozen). Each 5-foot-square frozen section has AC 5 and 15 hit points. Reducing a frozen section to 0 hit points destroys it. When a section is destroyed, the wall's water doesn't fill it.

Wish

9th-level conjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V
• Duration: Instantaneous

Wish is the mightiest spell a mortal creature can cast. By simply speaking aloud, you can alter the very foundations of reality in accord with your desires.

The basic use of this spell is to duplicate any other spell of 8th level or lower. You don't need to meet any requirements in that spell, including costly components. The spell simply takes effect. Alternatively, you can create one of the following effects of your choice:

• You create one object of up to 25,000 gp in value that isn't a magic item. The object can be no more than 300 feet in any dimension, and it appears in an unoccupied space you can see on the ground.

• You allow up to twenty creatures that you can see to regain all hit points, and you end all effects on them described in the greater restoration spell.

• You grant up to ten creatures that you can see resistance to a damage type you choose.

• You grant up to ten creatures you can see immunity to a single spell or other magical effect for 8 hours. For instance, you could make yourself and all your companions immune to a lich's life drain attack.

• You undo a single recent event by forcing a reroll of any roll made within the last round (including your last turn). Reality reshapes itself to accommodate the new result. For example, a wish spell could undo an opponent's successful save, a foe's critical hit, or a friend's failed save. You can force the reroll to be made with advantage or disadvantage, and you can choose whether to use the reroll or the original roll.

You might be able to achieve something beyond the scope of the above examples. State your wish to the DM as precisely as possible. The DM has great latitude in ruling what occurs in such an instance; the greater the wish, the greater the likelihood that something goes wrong. This spell might simply fail, the effect you desire might only be partly achieved, or you might suffer some unforeseen consequence as a result of how you worded the wish. For example, wishing that a villain were dead might propel you forward in time to a period when that villain is no longer alive, effectively removing you from the game. Similarly, wishing for a legendary magic item or artifact might instantly transport you to the presence of the item's current owner.

The stress of casting this spell to produce any effect other than duplicating another spell weakens you. After enduring that stress, each time you cast a spell until you finish a long rest, you take 1d10 necrotic damage per level of that spell. This damage can't be reduced or prevented in any way. In addition, your Strength drops to 3, if it isn't 3 or lower already, for 2d4 days. For each of those days that you spend resting and doing nothing more than light activity, your remaining recovery time decreases by 2 days. Finally, there is a 33 percent chance that you are unable to cast wish ever again if you suffer this stress.

If a simulacrum you have created casts Wish, both you and your simulacrum suffer the stress associated with casting the spell, including the risk of being forever unable to cast Wish again. The inability to cast Wish extends to any simulacrum you create in the future, as well as Wish cast by deities via Divine Intervention or other similar class features, or by use of a magic item.

Witch Bolt

1st-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a twig from a tree that has been struck by lightning)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

A beam of crackling, blue energy lances out toward a creature within range, forming a sustained arc of lightning between you and the target. Make a ranged spell attack against that creature. On a hit, the target takes 1d12 lightning damage, and on each of your turns for the duration, you can use your action to deal 1d12 lightning damage to the target automatically. The spell ends if you use your action to do anything else. The spell also ends if the target is ever outside the spell’s range or if it has total cover from you.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd- or 4th-level, the damage increases to 2d12, for both the initial damage and subsequent automatic damage. When you cast it using a 5th- or 6th-level slot, the damage increases to 3d12. When you cast it using a 7th- or 8th-level slot, the damage increases to 4d12. When you cast using a 9th-level slot, the damage increases to 5d12.

The Primal Savagery cantrip is split into the two following cantrips:
