"Wizards can make the best use of all ritual spells..." The tome warlock would like a word.

[@kylethomas9130]

Actually been deliberating with a few friends who DM, trying to Figure out what the limits of that Invocation is. The Ritual Caster Feat points out that you choose a school of magic to learn Rituals for, but this approach?

[@32Loveless50]

just as written :) you can learn any ritual spells, from any class, but you can only cast them as ritual spells. think of it like a wizard spell book that work only with ritual spells, but any ritual spells. when you find a new ritual spell you can add it to the book just like a wizard can get a new wizard spell, in his book.

[@bskec2177]

@@32Loveless50 A warlock can ad a ritual to his "book of ancient secrets" only if it's 1/2 their warlock level, but it can be from any class. It's the biggest selling point for Pact of the Tome. Also, the Ritual Caster feat has a 13 Int prerequisite, in addition to having to choose a class list, where Book of ancient secrets has neither restriction.

[@bskec2177]

@@kylethomas9130 I would have difficulty with someone using the Feat to cast Commune. Clerics, warlocks, and paladins all have deities/patrons that they can commune with, but a barbarian or assassin who grabbed Commune with the ritual caster feat, who exactly are they communing with, and why would they respond? I have the same problem with characters using Magic Initiate to get Eldritch Blast. Eldritch blast is supposed to be an eruption of the raw magic power of the warlocks patron, so how does a champion using this as an infinite ammo heavy crossbow fit in with that?

[@kylethomas9130]

@@bskec2177 feats and level ups become weird if you think about them too much. I guess certain Warlocks, Rangers, Druids, that have a 'higher power' they're dedicated to could RP the Commune Ritual. But it does feel weird if a player has a Atheistic Dragonborn Fighter, pick up Commune as a spell.

Leomund's Tiny Hut, also known as Spellcasting ambush bunker. Some set up required.

[@draxthemsklonst]

Do you know the answer to this: If a caster casts Tenser's Disc, and a teammate/party member stands on the Disc, then casts Tiny Hut...can the hut move via "the floor" (the disc) moving? Do they both just forcibly separate upon casting tiny hut, while on top of a Tenser's disc? Can the Tiny Hut be moved with any spell or magic item, at all? If someone casts it on top of a creature big enough to carry it, as if the creature was terrain? Just for the record, I don't think my concept works, but if it technically does...hoooly crap! Also, I'm sure someone already brought this up before...most likely.

[@kylethomas9130]

@@draxthemsklonst I remember a comment thread on a video about Tenser's Floating Disc. While a ritual caster could sit on the disk and cast a spell, Leomund's Tiny Hut is stationary regardless of where it was cast. Two things left unanswered, 1) Is Leomund's spell still a dome if cast airborne. 2) If a caster of Tiny Hut sits on a Floating Disc, and is pulled by the caster of Tenser's spell into the barrier. Does Tenser's spell end because it came in contact with an impassible barrier, or does Leomund's spell end because its caster left the dome?

[@draxthemsklonst]

@@kylethomas9130 Someone mentioned burrowing under the Hut to get inside and the official answer was the Hut has a floor. It's probably always a hemishere/dome with a flat floor, even in the air. I don't make the rules, though, so also: I don't know for sure. I do know the Hut ends if the caster leaves the dome and Tenser's Disc can go max 100 feet from the caster (when it's stuck or terrain isn't navigable) before it ends. Your scenario would be the caster that left the Tiny Hut would end that before the disc ever had any issues. I don't know this for sure, but I think one can cast the disc, stand beside it, and then cast Tiny Hut, and the Disc will be in the Hut with whoever (size medium and smaller)/whatever else is there. Doesn't really do much, besides keep your junk (that's on the disc) in the Hut while you do whatcha got to do. Still, a Hut on a Disc could have some possibilities I didn't consider. Even if it can't be moved, it's a floating safe area. That's got to be good for something...besides the obvious rest area/rally point, right?

[@kylethomas9130]

@@draxthemsklonst it would be funny for someone to do a character build aimed at casting such spells in these inordinate situations, just to see how their DM reacts. I still think it depends on Hut castor's position on the disc, since if the disc came in contact with Leomund's spell, it would be blocked from exiting the dome.

under items in the DMG, it says under cursed items that identify does not say that it is cursed, and what the curse does :D as an example. a 3+ armor that is cursed. you cast identify on it and you only see that you get +3, not that it is cursed.

So one thing that I love about the silence spell that most people don't use is the fact that it makes you immune to thunder damage while in the radius. This is especially fun when your playing a rogue and your in PVP with a storm cleric who tries to hit you with a booming blade cantrip then you tell him he does 0 damage and everyone looks at you funny till you point out that the silence spell makes everyone in it immune to thunder damage

[@AzraelThanatos]

Ceremony is another one that can get a LOT of use, even more so in a more random composition Adventurer's League game, but even out of it. It basically makes your character clergy of some kind and being able to offer to do weddings and other things can often open a heck of a lot of doors with some minor role play possibilities. Sure, it's limited in how the effects can target characters, but for groups that get mixed in and out, those buffs can be extremely powerful for 1 or 2 shots. And it lets you make Holy Water...for less than it's buy price, but the spell saved my party from the flame skull in Lost Mines...

Also technically with comprehend language if you are hearing the language you only understand the literal meaning of the language (you understand everything if its written and you are touching it). So if spoken you don't understand idioms for instance. This is one of the things (besides speaking) that sets it apart from tongues (which does let you understand idioms). It's kind of a way for DM's to sneak something by you. But it's been there in earlier editions as well. I'm sure like 99% of DM's ignore it though.

[@kylethomas9130]

I believe that's what sets Tongues apart, or maybe I misread. But yeah DMs need to have a rough idea of lost in translation.

You seem to forget the inclusion for tenser's floating disk, if compined with phantom steed you can ride a the steed and move at full speed but also have the caster act as a tether effectively making a chariot that can hold up to 500 pounds and 2 medium creatures inside per disk. Rituals spells with no concentration can be over lapped quite easily.

My party was trying to get into a historical throne room so we could get an artifact off of the throne. The throne had a box around it and guards in front of it. The plan was: The warlock made the bard and rogue invisible, who proceeded to steal the janitor keys. They snuck into the throne room, which was at that time closed, by the fighter opening the door and asking a question of the guards. The cleric, me, used their familiar to place Silence in the other room on the throne box. They artifact wasn't very keen about being taken, and ended up glowing with daylight and blasted the bard with radiant damage, but the rogue passed the saving throw. The guards saw the light so they turned around, saw the throne tipped over, and rushed in. Surprisingly we all survived and escaped, but if it weren't for Silence our crack plan wouldn't have worked at all.

“DMG PG; 139; Cursed items; Most methods of identifying items, including the Identify spell, fail to reveal such a curse, although the lore might hint at it. A curse should be a surprise to the items user when the curse’s effects are revealed.“. So no Identify spell DOES NOT in fact reveal cursed items curses. Fire arrows from inside the dome sweet! I was thinking allies step in and out but that’s even better! Your right it says object, Cool! Also spellcasters can step in and out except for the caster holding up the dome. But the dome caster is not concentrating so they can say cast teleportation circle from within! Ah Leomunds tiny hut so amazing! Having a general caster feature for detect magic is a good idea. Also hunters mark and other ranger spells should just be abilities like channel divinity. Etc. Fun video thanks!

[@neoman4426]

One interesting thing, since objects inside when cast can move through it freely you firing them *out* gives them something they can fire back *in*. Would be very inefficient to gather them, and would be at Disadvantage unless they have some way of seeing through it, but an interesting interaction

[@valasafantastic1055]

@@neoman4426 That would work if the arrows are not broken. We do 50% break chance for each arrow unless it would logically be destroyed (such as by firing into a fire elemental or acidic ooze). I'd roll for each arrow and mark the location. That also requires the foe to be trained in Arcana or very familiar with the hut or otherwise succeed an INT check to think of the arrows fired out being able to be fired back in. I'd at the least consume movement or bonus action to gather arrows near an enemy but I would make it possible for sure! And yes disadvantage for such attacks unless the foe has truesight or blindsight and is within range to perceive inside the dome.

[@binolombardi]

Phantom steed takes 1 minute to gradually end after it takes damage. It’s still probably good for the rest of the fight. “When the spell ends, the steed gradually fades, giving the rider 1 minute to dismount. The spell ends if you use an action to dismiss it or if the steed takes any damage.”

[@32Loveless50]

a correction. Bards can cast ritual spells as rituals :) so in conjunction with the detect magic, the only full casters that can't cast ritual spells as ritual is Sorcerer and Warlock, though warlock can get it with pact of the tome. it actually follows the theme if half casters like rangers can't cast it as a ritual, and also why Sorcerers cant cast rituals, as it fits the theme of innate magic they do not learn magic like others. BUT, the warlock i think all of them should be able to cast ritual spells as rituals, as most think of warlock making big rituals to summon demons, cast curses and others. and jep bard, cleric and druid need to prepare the ritual to cast it but, they can chance what spells they have at each long rest, so they can always get it, they just need to foresee what spells they need.

[@leonardoraposo5573]

Bards don't prepare spells. They have spells known.

[@GoblinLord]

I think sorcerers don't have rituals not because of theme but because it was a bit more gish-y than it is now when we were in prototype 5e (Next or something?)

[@kylethomas9130]

Or at least Abjuration, is there any basis for Evoking the Hut?

[@littlekittyphantommadness9049]

30:20 in my opinion I think detect magic should be made a cantrip instead of a lv1 spell so it doesn't take up a limited level spell slot but still uses a cantrip slot. Edit: I think if it was made a cantrip you should only get the first half of the spell that allows you to detect and see the aura of Magic but not the second half that tells you what kind it is as to not make it to overpowered or game-breaking.

[@AvangionQ]

Comprehend Languages should have an upcast bonus: for each level above first, an additional creature is affected.

[@AureliusDux99]

[@KingZolem]

Fun fact for phantom steeds: you don't need to stop and start each hour. Just ritual cast while riding and swap out whichever horse is close to poofing with the new one. And just keep doing it. Surprise you can ride and have someone else steer while you ritual cast the spell! So you can just keep refreshing the mounts while you ride along. Two ritual casters for it results in even better efficiency but yeah you don't need to stop and reset.

In case someone didn't already mention this, a bard could obtain Commune via (10th level version) Magical Secrets. It "becomes a bard spell for you" per RAW, so you could cast it as a ritual, although it would have to stay on your "spells known" list.

I find silence is amazing - you need to break into a building? cast silence on the spot and knock down the wall - no one can hear it. You need to blow somthing up?

[@AllenLinnenJr]

Detect Magic should be an option for diviner's 3rd eye subclass feature. And another thing comes to mind. Since the actual target of the spell is self and not the thing being read, one could argue something similar to what you said about Comprehend Language and a familiar with the Mage Hand spell. Since the Mage hand isn't being used to apply a touch spell one could argue that touching the object with your third magic hand would be legit. I know I would allow it if I didn't straight up repeal the need to touch the thing being read all together.

It is 20 by 20 on the inside being able to sleep 10 people comfortable in the nicely furnished wagon there is also a servant in the wagon.

4:20 I think it could be cast on an object because if we look for example at darkness it reads: _If the _*_point_*_ you choose _*_is on an object_*_ you are holding_ That said, Darkness also explicitly explains what happens in that case _the darkness emanates from the object and moves with it. Completely covering the source of the darkness with an opaque object, such as a bowl or a helm, blocks the darkness._ So I'd say this would be for the DM to decide, considering it doesn't have a chunk of text like Darkness explaining if you can or not transform an object into the bane of enemy casters, I'd probably say that no, Silence cannot be cast on a rock and you cannot be throwing around said rock

The text for AT and EK is the same except for the school of magic, I just checked my physical PHB as well.

AK still can't replace replace their 3rd lvl spell for some reason.

[@NobodyDungeons]

So one of my favorite spells to use as a ritual is the forbiddance spell especially in a creatures lair as that means as long as they are located in their lair they will take 5d10 radiant or necrotic damage with a duration of one day so if you set this up in their lair in secret then go to fight them every round of combat it takes 5d10 damage and it doesn't require concentration to keep up so put this down when your expecting something to do something then it doesn't work

[@NobodyDungeons]

[@kylethomas9130]

Stealthy spellcaster, the bane of every DM.

[@NobodyDungeons]

Kyle Thomas the reason it has to be stealthy is because even if you cast it normally it has a casting time of 10 minutes so you need to be able to hide to properly pull it off or you can set it up ahead of time and trap the enemies in it

[@SilverFoxR]

The interesting thing in the wording of Detect Magic is that it can see magical auras, but not towards things you can see... but I feel as if Detect Magic should be able to see the aura of the spell... since it is a magical effect, they should be able to locate the illusory magic in that area and realize that it is illusion magic. They may not be able to make out the outline of the spell, but if something like Faerie Fire, which is also a 1st level spell can reveal invisible creatures, I'd think that Detect Magic could alert a spellcaster to an invisible item or creature as well... at least negating the disadvantage to attacking the creature. But maybe that's why they mention the rule... either way, the spell is awesome =3

Addendum. Magic Initiate gives you one 1st level spell and two cantrips from one class. But it does not give you the ritual casting ability, so you can not cast your 1st level spell ritually without the Ritual Caster feat. Since that feat gives you two 1st level spells of your choice from one class AND the ability to add more spells from that same class with the ritual tag to your Ritual Book (see feat for details), Ritual Caster is the feat you want if you want to cast ritual spells.

[@adrianguerrero6163]

When choosing an eldritch knight or arcane trickster it says "you can choose from the wizard spell list", in other words those 2 don't have their own spell list. It's the same with divine soul sorcerer being able to cast those "cleric only" spells. Plus, in that case EVERY SPELL should be noted as a bard spell, since it gets some spells from "any list".

Commune always provides a correct answer, keeping in mind "I don't know" can be a correct answer.

[@InuyashaHanyu]

The thing which makes me hesitate to add Tiny Hut to my non wizard characters spell lists is its rare to matter. 1 minute casting time means you can't use it ever spontaneously in combat. Certainly not as ritual. And even if you use it for resting, chances are the party prefers the resting spot to be hidden and not a magical dome everyone finds easy to spot. Sure, it could block off a narrow path to enemies you foresaw coming through in a while. Or it may give you some safety when resting and should enemies approach it gives you time to prepare (them too though). That has use. But it is so niche a use that I wonder, wouldn't I rather use that known spell for something else? Of course, in the ritual book you just write in what you can get, just like as a wizard. If you get to add a new spell you take it just cause you can. just my thoughts on that

Only problem is that a tower shield in 3.5e was 45lb, so it would probably be the same in 5e, meaning that it would be 15lb too heavy for the unseen servant to carry. The servant has a Str 2 and evidently a 15ft movement speed. So 30lb at 15ft per round would be the max weight carried and speed of advance. Now if your tower shield had wheels, you can drag/push 30 times your strength score, so I would rule that the servant could push the tower shield on wheels, 15ft per round, and hold it up when the wizard wants him to as he is not carrying the shield when holding it up. With the servant being behind the shield, it would have total cover when holding up the shield, but would be exposed when pushing it. The servant only has 1hp, so an area affect spell that reaches behind the shield, would likely take out the servant. If you use the encumbrance rules, your servant starts slowing down at 10lbs carried. The rule is you lose 10ft of speed when encumbered and 20ft when heavily encumbered. But that really doesn't work at movement speeds of 20ft or less. Since the default is 30ft of movement, I rule that you lose 1/3 and 2/3 your movement for being encumbered and heavily encumbered, with a 5ft minimum for simplicity.

Comprehend Languages being a 1st level spell is so weird in that any junior magician can snap their fingers and be able to read the most ancient of lore and forgotten tomes or listen to the unknowable speech of an ancient horror and learn those secrets all at level one but then again the spell itself doesn't bend the universe to your will so you can't justify it being any higher level, idk thoughts?

[@FormerRuling]

Most people misread the spell. You dont actually understand a language you dont know. The spell is basically an early-era Google Translate where you only hear the literal meaning of each word but you dont neccesarily understand any of it - the more obscure and ancient the langauge the more likely you are to basically just hear a string of non sensible words.

[@FormerRuling]

Note that there is a spell that does let you understand languages, but it is 3rd level, not a ritual, and only lasts an hour.

[@devin5201]

@@FormerRuling huh good point, well it's still a start right? It's like you read the ancient text or etc. and it says some weird stuff and you can then decipher it and learn something cool.

I don't like the over simplified magic system the no focus stat growth. A 9th level concentration spell requires the same attention as a cantrip making you feel one handed. Shouldn't your ability to hold spells grow.

[@BW022]

I don't get your use of silence. It is extremely situational where you would be able to sit outside a door for 10 minutes, chanting and waving your arms just to make breaking down the door quietly. Rules out any place with guards who can see outside, cities, patrols, etc. And of course, if anyone is within 20' of the inside of the door... they'll suddenly find everything has gone silent and quickly just move away in order to sound the alarm. 90% of the time you are better just casting it as action since as a ritual you are any advantage to busting down the door silently is likely negated by the fact you are now outside the door for 10 minutes chanting away.

[@steveaustin2686]

It does have a 120ft range with a 20ft radius (40ft diameter) sphere, so you could extend your distance up to 130ft from a door by casting the silence 10ft from the door. Also, silence can't be cast on objects without a house rule for that. www.sageadvice.eu/2016/03/21/can-the-5e-silence-spell-be-cast-on-a-person-or-object/
