If you were teleporting to a coastal city and wound up 18 miles out at sea, you could be in trouble. The DM determines the direction off target randomly by rolling a d8 and designating 1 as north, 2 as north-east, 3 as east, and so on around the points of the compass. For example, if you tried to travel 120 miles, landed off target, and rolled a 5 and 3 on the two d10s, then you would be off target by 15 percent, or 18 miles. Distance off target is 1d10 x 1d10 percent of the distance that was to be travelled. Off Target: You and your group (or the target object) appear a random distance away from the destination in a random direction. On Target: You and your group (or the target object) appear where you want to go. Perhaps you tried to scry an enemy's sanctum but instead viewed an illusion, or you are attempting to teleport to a familiar location that no longer exists. "False Destination" is a place that doesn't exist. "Description" is a place whose location and appearance you know through someone else's description, perhaps from a map. "Viewed Once" is a place you have seen once, possibly using magic. "Seen Casually" is some place you have seen more than once but with which you aren't very familiar. "Very Familiar" is a place you have been very often, a place you have carefully studied, or a place you can see when you cast the spell. "Associated Object" means that you possess an object taken from the desired destination within the last six months, such as a book from a wizard's library, bed linen from a royal suite, or a chunk of marble from a Lich's secret tomb. The DM rolls d100 and consults the table.įamiliarity: "Permanent Circle" means a permanent teleportation circle whose sigil sequence you know. Your familiarity with the destination determines whether you arrive there successfully. The destination you choose must be known to you, and it must be on the same plane of existence as you. If you target an object, it must be able to fit entirely inside a 10-foot cube, and it can't be held or carried by an unwilling creature. If you want to strike fear into the hearts of your foes but are just a tiny little gnome, or just want an efficient, clean save or die, Cause Fear is for you.This spell instantly transports you and up to eight willing creatures of your choice that you can see within range, or a single object that you can see within range, to a destination you select. It's one of few spells in warlock you’ll occasionally fall back on as you grow because its up-cast effects are great. It does what it says on the tin, and does it well. This feels like a spell that should have been in the Player’s Handbook.
The reward you’re getting is an excellent reward should they fail, so I’d say you’ll often find its worth the risk. Up-casting it does reduce the chance dramatically that this spell does nothing, so that’s great. Sometimes you’ll spend a 1st level slot on this at 1st level and get nothing in return. Want to play the fear mage? Grab both!Ĭause Fear is a save or die, so it has the consistency problems that I’m not a fan of. You actually can want both on your sheet to do different things. If you want to frighten half a dozen or more creatures in a cone, Fear is obviously better. Comparing it up-cast at 3rd level to Fear highlights just how useful this can be if you’re looking to target three creatures within a thirty foot sphere within sixty feet of you, this is better than Fear. On top of having a great floor with its level one cast, up-casting it adds additional creatures into the mix. Both of these effects can be useful in different situations, making this spell just really flexible. It offers up both control of the creatures movement on top of weakening its ability to attack. This can be a debilitating effect to slam on a bugbear bandit captain or young white dragon. Frightened creatures can’t willingly move towards the source of the fear, and has disadvantage on attacks and ability checks while it can see said source. A first level slot is really as low as you can go for the frightened condition. “What does Cause Fear do? Well, it causes fear! Its that simple”Īnd for what its worth, that’s actually kind of solid. There is something so satisfying about seeing a spells name and just knowing what it does in its entirety. Review by Sam West, Twitter: I love simple spells.
