The Return of the Return of GITP Regulars as Spells!

[stoutstien]

Nerd roasting. I like it . Permission granted.

[Grear Bylls]

I don’t know if I’m popular enough, but you have permission for me.

Although, there is one spell you must make, even if permission isn’t given: Socerer King!!!!!!!!!

[Sariel Vailo]

An odd choice for using the term simple but i enjoyed the jest.

[Luccan]

I feel I've finally been around long/frequently enough to be a "regular". You have my permission.

I don’t know if I’m popular enough, but you have permission for me.

Level 9, Necromancy

You're immediately banned from all planes of existence and any current or potential universes. You do not become a vestige. The only thing you may ever do from now on is cast this spell, which temporarily brings you back into existence, only to be banned again once someone pays attention.

[Laserlight]

The duration is low enough that you aren't gonna bed someone with this spell....

"Sorcerer Metamagic Extended Spell: When you Cast a Spell that has a Duration of 1 minute or longer, you can spend 1 sorcery point to double its Duration, to a maximum Duration of 24 hours." Although a sorc may have high enough CHA and Persuasion to find a spell unnecessary.


Incidentally, if someone wants to make a spell of me--preferably not too similar to the one in my sig--go ahead.

[Zonugal]

I've enjoyed what folks have put together in the past for me, just as I eagerly await this future's representation.

[DMThac0]

What the heck I'll join the fun, permission granted.

[MadBear]

permission definitely granted

[Man_Over_Game]

We definitely need more spellmakers, guys. Lots of permissions, very few spells so far (about 4).

[noob]

Expected
Level 5 Wizard spell.
Instantaneous
As a reaction you can gain advantage to one of your saves or impose disadvantage to an attack targeting you because you were excepting it.

Madbear.
Level 9 Bear domain spell and level 9 Druid spell
By casting that spell you turn into a Gigantic bear with four times the usual stats of a dire bear for one round per caster level(the transformation happens as if using polymorph).
While being transformed that way your attacks creates flying dire bears obeying you(that lasts until the end of the duration of that spell) and you must succeed a will save against this spell each turn or for one turn you act as if you were confused.

no it was a joke: it is not in line with 5e design

Got rid of the action economy so it is no longer broken!

You can cause your words to manifest into floating runes that for a protective wall that impede enemies.

Illiterate creatures are immune.

Hey brazenburn, could you chuck a few links in the OP so we can find the spells more easily please?

I'll try to write a few when I get chance.

Do anyone have an idea of what a spell of a given level is supposed to do in 5e?

I'll try, but I'm not sure how.

R-Click on the number on the top right of a post, and click Copy Shortcut. Then, in the post options, there is a hyperlink button that looks like a planet with handcuffs. Paste in the URL you copied earlier, then in the brackets, put in the name of the spell.

For example: This link uses this post, putting the url (giantitp.com/forums/showsinglepost.php?p=23530251&postcount=46) between the quotes and these words in the {URL}{/URL} brackets section.

Do anyone have an idea of what a spell of a given level is supposed to do in 5e?

1-2: Reliable, low level utility or damage. Roughly 15-20 damage on average.

3-4: Moderate abilities, designed to control the battlefield or complete important objectives in RP-related events. These are generally expensive, but effective spells that should be used sparingly but to great effect. Many of these will save your life, but only in specific situations. These are the spells most people remember.

5-7: Heavy RP or combat ability, capable of wiping out half of the battlefield. Spells now have effects that can be used for permanent gain. Many of these abilities are designed for fortifications, as players should have bases by this level.

8-9: Designed to change entire campaigns by quickly ending a warzone or creating one, or by merely "wishing" your problems away. These spells are not balanced, especially not against each other. If one of these are available, then sh**'s about to go down. If one of these are cast, sh** already has.

So advantage on a save or imposing disadvantage on an attack roll as a reaction should be more around level 3-4 than level 5?

I'd say so. Keep in mind, Haste is also a single target buff, but is more consistent and can repeatedly provide benefits each turn, one of which is an extra attack!

I'd probably say your spell is the equivalent of a level 2 spell, or even a level 1.

Ask yourself, "would I use this spell over Shield or Absorb Elements"? Maybe, but only in specific circumstances, which is a good indicator that it's about level 1-2 quality. The only reason it's a contender for level 2 is because something like advantage on a saving throw scales really well at later levels.

[Man_Over_Game]

Sorry, I didn't mean for it to be a jest. The way it sounded, you actually utilize a program to make sure that dumb folk can fully comprehend your posts.

Since you're accustomed to working around dumb people, I made you a spell to give you all the comforts you come to expect in GitP, to help you feel at home during your adventures.

Alternatively, you convert someone into a Giant in the Playground.

It is just that I am used to dnd 3.5 where avoiding critical failures is the main problem in the game.
on the other hand since spell mastery exists this spell would be quite too good when at will.

Korvin Starmast
Level: 9
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Components: V S M (A large mast of a ship costing at least 10,000 gp)
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard

By touching a specially prepared ship mast, you turn it into a brightly gleaming star that has one or more (your choice) the following effects:

1. It sheds bright light in a 500ft radius that counts as daylight
2. All enemies must make a constitution save or suffer blindness
3. You turn the mast into a literal star thereby destroying the world and messing up the entire solar system. On the other hand, you definitely won whatever argument you were engaged in.

If you choose option 3, roll % if you survived. You have a 30% chance of never being able to cast this spell again.

Seems a little weak for 9th level, though. Aside from the obviously tongue-in-cheek third option, the other possibilities are createable with 1st to 3rd level spells.

[CantigThimble]

I don't know if I count as a regular but go ahead.

[No brains]

I already had a decently silly spell, but I'd give permission for another.

Option 3 makes me laugh. Thank you.

5th level evocation

Casting Time: See text
Range: See text
Components: See text
Duration: Instantaneous

This spell takes an action to cast and does 10d6 fire damage in a 20 ft radius at a range of 150 ft. However, you decide how you want to cast it. If you cast it as a bonus action or reaction, subtract 2d6 damage. For every 10 ft farther than 150 ft range subtract 1d6 damage. The spell normally has V, S, and M components (a ball of bat guano and sulfur). For every component you do not use to cast subtract 1d6 damage. For every 5 ft radius you increase the area of effect subtract 1d6 damage. For every 5 ft radius you decrease the area of effect add 1d6 damage.

Creatures in the area of affect are allowed a Dexterity saving throw, taking a half-damage on a successful save.
