@Galastan4 жыл бұрын
@@pockets8548 Reactions aren't included in the action-bonus action spellcasting economy. The only rule is that if you cast a fully leveled spell with your bonus action, if you want to cast a spell as an action it must be a cantrip. Or, if you cast a fully levelled spell with your action, you cannot cast another fully leveled spell with your bonus action. Hence you being allowed to cast Counterspell if someone attempts to Counterspell your action OR bonus action spell attempt. The only thing in question is whether or not you have your reaction available to you (i.e. made an attack of opportunity or used another reaction spell before the start of your turn)

Here’s a common way for it to happen: Cornelius the wizard is casting fireball on his turn, and his foe casts counterspell on him. Cornelius has counterspell prepared, so he uses his reaction to cast it and break his foe’s counterspell before it can stop fireball.

Hi there Dungeoncast. Thank You so much for your Excellent Videos on Dungeons and Dragons. I am just starting out in Dungeons & Dragons 5e, and I am playing a High Elf Wizard. What is the difference between a known spell and a prepared spell? I would like to know exactly how many cantrips, first level spells, and second level spells does a second level wizard have as known spells. I think that it is 3 cantrips, 6 first level spells, and 2 second level spells. Then with each additional level the amount of spells increases by 2. How many prepared spells does a second level wizard have available to her--is it 2 + spellcasting ability modifier? Can I at any time swap known spells on the Wizard full list of spells if I feel a spell is not a good spell. Please respond with your answer, and Thank You.

I was playing I think a Ninth level druid in a party of two fighters, a paladin divination wizard. My party got challenged by some orcs to prove ourselves worthy of their support and let us continue undisturbed. The first challenge would have been tame a few wild wolves, but before the orc leader could say that, the paladin wanted me to say hi to the orc dire wolf mount. With my insane animal handling score, the dire wolf was friendly like I was an old pal. So we auto-passed the first test. Next up. Eating contest. We had to eat and make con saves. Due to the Saladin aura, we had advantage. The fighter manages 6 rounds and was still going by the time all the orcs had passed out, due to the fighter's best stat being constition. Then a short rest later, the big test. A cage match with some custom orc captains. Anything goes as long as it's nonlethal. The wizzard was worried be cause he had 61 hp and I had 60. I told him to stay behing me and use portent and counterspell on the one half caster. I, myself, well I may have polymorphed myself into a giant gorrila. We had a rule for push-outs, too. I took one of the captains, who had been tripped by the other fighter (not the con based one) and was prone and threw the idiot 15 or so feet out of the ring. Ahh, nothing feels better than raising your strength from 8 to 24 with one 4th level spell slot. Spellcasters are broken. Sorry martials. Can you do that?

Guys, one question to see if I understood correctly Basically we have 3 parameters: Spell Save DC (your opponent has to beat this number according to the STAT modifier the spell says, for example CONSTITUTION STAT MODIFIER + D20). If the spell hits we add the 2nd parameter that is: Spell Attack modifier. This is a number added to our DMG to EVERY spell we cast. Lastly we have the 3rd parameter: Spell Attack Bonus. This means that the target DOES NOT have to make a DC throw like in the first parameter. We are the ones that have to land the hit (my spell Attack Bonus should be equal or greater than the target's AC) and then add to the DMG the spell says, the Spell Attack modifier. Is this correct guys?

Wizards start with a spellbook that contains six 1st level spells of their choice. Every time you gain a level in the Wizard class, you can add two spells to your spellbook for free, though the spells must be of a spell level that you can cast. For example, fireball is a 3rd level spell, so you need at least one 3rd level spell slot in order to add it to your spellbook. You can also add spells to your spellbook by finding the instructions for how to cast the spell and copying it into your spellbook. This process takes 2 hours and 50 gold pieces for every level of the spell. For example, fireball would take 6 hours and 150 gold pieces to transcribe into your spell book.

There are no official rules for homebrewing spells so u will have to ask the dm for permission.

Say you are a 1st level wizard with a wisdom of 16...if you cast a spell on a creature that allows a savings through would the formula for this example be 8 + 3 (Spell casting modifier, in the rangers case wisdom) + proficiency +2 (or does he not get the plus 2 cause a ranger proficiency is str and dex).... basically would the savings throw the creature would have to meet be a 11 or a 13?
@HyperShadic04 жыл бұрын
The spellcasting modifier for wizards is intelligence, not wisdom. You changed your class midway through the sentence. :p Anyways, spellcasters are *_always_* proficient at casting spells, so you always add their proficiency bonus to their spellcasting DCs and spell attack modifier. In the example you listed, the final result would be 13 and not 11.

That's correct in that a creature rolling a Spell Saving Throw is not the same as a Spell Attack you make. Ice knife, is a good example that uses both. Upon casting, it's a Ranged Spell Attack. Then detonates for an AoE where the target's make a Saving Throw.

Through all the videos I've watched, and all the wikis I've looked at, and even in the PHB, I've tried to find out about concentration. Everyone says you can't cast two spells that require concentration at the same time. But I want to know, can you not cast *any* spells without breaking concentration? Last night, my friend's Warlock cast Eldritch Blast, and said she broke concentration on her Hunger of Hadar. Since then I've been trying to find out if any spell that *doesn't* require concentration, for example, casting Lightning Bolt while floating with Levitate, would break concentration.

I believe you're still able to use any spell that doesn't require concentration without it breaking your concentration

I'm DMing for the first time and I think I need a bit more help. Would someone mind explaining how one gets a spell ready? Also, after a long rest, do all the spell slots restore? I've read the player's handbook and watched a few videos but I somehow still don't understand.

I don't know if this is late but 1. You can ready spells every time u take a long rest. For most spell casters that is. For most class descriptions there should be a section that says: "Preparing and Casting spells". Take a look at that 2. Immediately after
