On the cover

In this scene, an owlin wizard takes notes about some of its observations while peacefully flying. This piece of art is from the Magic the Gathering card named "Watcher of the Spheres", and has been created by G-Host Lee.

This document has been created on GM Binder.

It took me a few months, but I did it! And, once that was finished, I didn't want to stop there! So I decided to set a new challenge and this is how I got interested in spells, leading to the creation of weapon spells, then forgotten spells and then exclusive spells. The projects follow one another, and thus I decided to create an unpretentious Patreon, so that my most passionate followers can help me and support me in my creative adventures.

We are now a year and a half after my first publication (It was the Path of the shaman barbarian, quickly followed by the College of the Wind Bard!), and the number of my homebrews is starting to be important, so I decided to group all of them into one big grimoire: the one you are reading right now!

I have put all my heart and passion into creating the content that adorns those pages, so I hope you will enjoy it!

Happy reading, and happy gaming!

How to use this book?

This book gathers many options for players. As you create your character or when you level up, you can unlock the powers and skills that are featured in this book. As this content is homebrew, it's a good idea to always check with your dungeon master if it's okay for you to use the options shown here before adding them to your character sheet. the following paragraphs describe some important notes about the different parts of this book and how to use them :

Subclasses. The subclasses are each linked to a class. When you level up, when your class board tells you that you should gain a subclass, you can choose one of the subclasses presented in this book that matches your class. Some subclasses here are revised versions of official subclasses. When you use such a subclass, you gain the official features normally (even those which are not replaced by a new version), but at certain levels, this book offers you alternative powers. In those cases, you choose which feature you want to gain : either the official one, or the revised one. Whatever you decide, you should discuss it with your DM first.

Feats. This section offers alternate versions of some existing feats. When you gain a feat, you can choose to use the official version or the alternate version of this feat. Once again, talk about it with your DM.

Weapon spells and Exclusive Spells. These spells are added to the spell lists of the indicated classes. When you need to learn or prepare a spell, you can choose from these spells if you belong to the according class.

Forgotten Spells. Those are alternative versions of existing spells. I made those because a lot of spells were just very lackluster compared to the other spells of the same level, and so no one was ever using them. Talk to your DM at the start of your campaign to know if he or she wants to use the official version of those spells or the revised alternative suggested here. Everyone at the table should use the same version, so be sure every body is on the same page about which one is the best for your campaign!

Optional Features. After I have created that many spells, I stopped for a bit and thought about the poor martial classes. Indeed, as they don't get to cast spells, they are often forgotten and get nothing new when a new official book is published. Thus, I tried to find a way to give them some new toys to give them more possibilities to adapt and diversify their builds (and also to give them a bit more options for out of combat situations, as they were definitely lacking in this domain!). Some of the features presented here replace official features, others are simply added on top of what you normally gain, and some are the same features but with slight modifications. Again, ask your Dungeon Master's opinion each time you should unlock a feature presented in this grimoire, to ensure that it suits his universe and the campaign he intends to make you play.

Glory and Pride

The Elkians are usually very proud people. They have a heightened sense of duty and loyalty. All of them have antlers on the top of the skull often compared to a crown, symbol of their noble place within the verdant kingdoms of nature (the antlers of the males usually being much larger than the ones of the females).

Knights of the Forest

The Elkians generally live in small clans and very rarely leave the ancient woods where they built their homes. Often seen as the protectors of the forest, they don't trust easily the other humanoids, except for other peoples from fairy origin such as elves, fairies or centaurs, that they see as brothers and sisters.

Elkian Names

Elkians get named at birth by their mother. That name is then completed when they reach adulthood by an honorific title that is given to them by their clan, emphasizing an important achievement or an anatomical specificity of their.

Sudden Sentience

When a powerful magic permeates a place, it sometimes happens that the minerals present awaken. Suddenly conscious, they gather to take the form of humanoids made of crystals, rock or ice.

Mysterious Guardians

Living apart from other humanoid societies, the shardfolk generally spend their lives protecting the place and the magic that formed them.

Shardfolks Names

Shardfolks are not male or female, they are simply humanoid crystals. There names are usually equally simple. Short and sharp for the crystal and ice shards, or more guttural for the rock shards people.

Stone Fists. You are proficient with your unarmed strikes, which deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage on a hit. You can use your constitution instead of your strength for attack and damage rolls when you make an unarmed strike.

Ice Shard

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength, Dexterity and Charisma scores increase by 1.

Living Ice. You have resistance to cold damage.

Frozen Soul. You know the Shape Water cantrip. You can use it on yourself. When you do so, you can reshape both of your hands into longwords, shortswords, light hammers, spears, war picks, war hammers or into doned shields (you can choose to reshape them into two different weapons or a shield and a weapon, or to reshape only one of your hands). You are proficient with any weapon or shield formed thanks to this feature. The weapons created this way lose their Thrown and Versatile properties if they have one.

Blizzard. As a bonus action, you can create a tempest of hails and snow around you. Each creature within 10 feet of you must succeed a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your charisma modifier, or it gets its speed reduced to 0 until the end of your next turn and it loses its reaction. You can use this trait a number of time equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Hunter's of the Deep

Sharkfolks are terrifying predators. Hunting mainly in murky waters, they stalk their preys thanks to their highly developed sense of smell before falling on them and tearing them apart with their mighty jaws. When they hunt or raid creatures of the surface, they usually attack at night. Each sharkfolk has its own technique : some approach their prey discreetly, swooping down on it by surprise. Some use brute force to immobilize their enemy in order to tear them apart with their jaws. And finally, some others use spells from ancient tribal traditions to bend the ocean to their will to eliminate their target.

Underwater Tribes

The sharkfolks live in small tribes, in small caves under the ocean, or, more rarely, in rudimentary huts by the sea. Their society is mainly organized around hunting. Indeed, by bringing back a prestigious prey (a particularly large or rare fish for instance), a Sharkfolk gains the respect of the tribe, thus climbing in its social scale. The Sharkfolks are extremely suspicious of the people of the surfaces which they usualy don't appreciate (the trade between the sharkfolks and the other races is therefore very rare). The craftsmanship of the sharkfolks is fairly rudimentary, and is generally limited to making hunting tools such as nets and harpoons.

Sharkfolk Names

Sharkfolks names are generally short, and composed of sonorities reminiscent of the sound of a bite.

Born from the Arcane

Created from pure magic eons ago by a guild of archmages, the first watchers were intended to serve their masters by assisting them in their rituals or by finding precious spell components for them. Having now won their freedom, the few surviving watcher peoples are confined in antique temples erected in honor of ancient arcane gods. Having no need to eat or drink, they don't have to go out to hunt or take care of the fields, so they spend most of their time praying and performing rituals in the name of Mistra, Corellon or other lesser arcane deities. Some of them also use their magic to observe the world from afar.

Visual Communication

The watchers have no mouth, but a single large eye instead of a face. They therefore communicate by tracing small illusions in front of them. It is rare that a watcher leaves his clan to travel the world, because it is very difficult for them to speak with other peoples who do not share their mode of communication.

Watchers Names

Given by the clan during the birth ritual, the names of the watchers are not made of words or letters like the ones of the other races, but are visual and made of colors and symbols instead. Indeed, as they do not speak, the watchers use illusions to draw the symbol of their name by magic when they need to.

The Wood People

Originating from the Feywild, the Wildens are strange creatures made of wood. Like trees and flowers they don't really have a gender : They are simply members of the forest. Naturally curious and observant, they are fascinated by other living creatures. Indeed, as they very rarely leave their woods, everything from the outside is a discovery for them.

Harmony

Living in harmony with nature, it is difficult to know where the wilderness ends and where the Wildens' societies begin. They are very protective of nature and feel responsible for it.

Wilden Names

Because of their strong connection to each other and to the vegetable world as a whole, the Wildens usually use the pronoun "we" rather than "I" when they talk about themselves. When they have to refer to an other member of their society, they use names derived from its physical characteristics.

Why reworking those races?

Flying races are really often seen as overpowered, and so they are frequently banned from dnd tables. And that's a shame because they are so cool! The issue that is generally discussed is their flight feature that is seen as too powerful in combats in early levels, as nearly no other option let you fly before the level 5. So here are some ideas to fix them and make them less obnoxious in fights while keeping their cool ability to fly.

Miniaturizer

While shrinked, the creature keeps all its abilities, but in addition to the normal effects of your shrink feature, it also gains the following traits :

• Its strength becomes 1.
• It has a +10 bonus to stealth checks.
• It can enter a creature's space and stop there.
• Its speed is halved.
• It can't make attacks.
• If it casts a spell with a range greater than 0 feet, the range of the spell become touch.
• If it should inflict damage because of a spell, an item, a feature or any other effect, it inflicts only 1 damage of the same type instead.

Upscale

At 9th level, you find out how to reverse the formula! You can now use your miniaturizers on Tiny objects or creatures, and enlarge them instead of reducing them. When you use your shrink feature, you can choose a tiny object that is not worn or carried or a tiny creature as your target (its true size must be tiny). When you do so, you surcharge your miniaturizer, using all its remaining battery, and your target becomes Large for 10 minutes (if there isn't enough space for the target to become large, its size doesn't change). Its weight also increases accordingly.

As for your Shrink feature, you can take back your miniaturizer as a bonus action before the end of those 10 minutes to end its effects early (but it won't be usable again until you recharge it as it no longer has battery).

You can't upscale more than one target at a time. If an object or a creature is already affected by that feature, you can't use it on an other target before your first target returns to its normal size.

If the target of your upscale is a creature, it also gains the following benefits :

• Its strength increases to 18 if it was lower.
• It gains 50 temporary hit points.
• Its speed increases by 10 feet.
• It uses your spell casting DC instead of its own DC when one of its features refers to a DC.
• It uses your spell attack bonus instead of its own attack bonus when it does an attack.
• Once per turn when it makes a damage roll, it adds 1d12 to the result.
• If its a familiar from the find familiar spell, it can use the attack action.

Exponential Growth

By 15th level, you totally mastered the power of changing the scale of the world. When you use your upscale feature, you can target any object that is not worn or carried or any creature, even if it is larger than tiny. The target's size increases by 2 ranks (minimum Large) for the duration, its weight also increases accordingly, and if its a creature, it gains the benefits listed on your upscale feature.

Explosives Expert

Artificers that become Explosives Experts are specialized in express demolition. They learn how walls, houses or bridges are done; not to build some, but to better understand their weak points so they can blow them up with more efficiency! Grenades, landmines, dynamite... They get an irrational passion for everything that can go BOOM!

Tool Proficiency

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the mason's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.

Controlled Demolition

Starting at 9th level, when you use an explosive or when you cast a spell from the Explosives Expert spell list, if it has a radius or a cube specified, you can increase or decrease that radius or cube by 5feet.

Blast Master

By 15th level, explosives have no more secrets from you.

• You gain resistance to the damage of your own spells and explosives.
• You can cast the spell Delayed Blast Fireball once without expending a spellslot. You must finish a long rest before you can cast it again with this feature.
• Magical barriers that can be destroyed by the Disintegrate spell (like Wall of Force, Otiluke Resilient Sphere, etc.) are also destroyed when they should take damage from one of your explosives.

Primal Path

At 3rd level, a barbarian gains the Primal Path feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The Path of the Shaman option is available to you when making that choice.

College of Fear

Members of the College of Fear learn all the secrets of the True Fear, and know how to frighten others by telling horror stories or exploiting their worst phobias. It is said that gazing directly at the eyes of one of them is enough to cause you nightmares for the rest of your life...

Doom Domain

The Doomsayers wander from towns to towns, calling the misfortunes and divine punishments awaiting their inhabitants as an answer to their sins. Vermins, insect swarms, cataclysms... They are the messengers of the gods, here to share their last warnings to the misbelievers before they unleash their wrath on them.

Invoker

Invokers are the armed hand of the gods, catalysts of their divine powers. Those clerics control the celestial spirits of ancient heroes directly sent by their deity to guide their allies to victory, and their enemies to misery.

Channel Divinity : Reinforcement

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to cast one of your Invoker Domain spells without expending a spell slot. You can only use your channel divinity to cast a spell this way if the chosen spell is of a level equal or inferior to half your cleric level.

Holy Spirit

Starting at 6th level, your Divine Familiar can deliver any cleric spell (not only the ones with a range of touch). If the spell requires concentration, you are the one concentrating on it.

Potent Spellcasting

Beginning at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

Wings of justice

Starting at 17th level, as an action you can make large spectral angel wings appear on your back. When you do so, you gain a 60 feet flying speed. You can also make the wings disappear as an action.

In addition, when you deal damage or you restore hit points to a creature with a cleric spell of 1st-level or higher while your spectral wings are active, you can add your charisma modifier to the result.

Druid Circle

Once you have used this feature, you need to finish a long rest before you can use it again, unless you expend a spellslot of 3rd level or higher.

The Executioner

The executioners are warriors specializing in the wielding of big and deadly two-handed weapons. Terrors on the battlefield, they sweep their enemies with murderous circular blows and finish off the wounded without mercy. True forces of nature, they are almost unstoppable when wielding their giant weapons.

Way of Kung Fu

Traditional Kung Fu is based on techniques and stances that reflect the way animals behave and fight in nature. The Monks that choose the Way of Kung Fu observe and draw inspiration from the nature to enhance their fighting style, but also to strengthen their mind.

The tiger style is aggressive and offensive. A monk adopting this fighting style generally uses a lot of grappling techniques, curling up his fingers to mimic the claws of a tiger, and using them to pull and restrain his opponent while striking him with powerful punches.

You make grapple and shove attacks with advantage. You also make Athletic checks to maintain a grapple with advantage.

• Grandmaster technique : Starting at 17th level, while using the Tiger Style, every time you shove or grapple a creature, it takes 1d10 bludgeoning damage. Moreover, a creature grappled by yourself takes 1d10 bludgeoning damage at the start of each of its turn until the grapple ends.

Crane

The crane style is entirely based around balance and dodges. A monk adopting that style takes aerial postures, standing often on one leg with his arms wide open as the wings of a crane. The masters of that style also tighten their fingers to mimic the beak of a crane, aiming at the eyes of their opponents to debilitate them.

You have advantage on Acrobatic checks. Moreover, you are always treated as behind a half cover when targeted by a range attack or when you are in the area of a spell, even if there is no cover before you.

• Grandmaster technique : Starting at 17th level, while using the Crane Style, when you hit a target with a melee attack, you can aim at the eyes of your opponent. When you do so, the target of your attack must succeed on a dexterity saving throw or be blinded until the start of your next turn.

Snake

The snake style revolves around defensive postures. A monk adopting that style waits patiently for an error of its opponent, an opening in its guard. Once the occasion occurs, the monk strikes suddenly and violently, aiming on a vital point with an extreme precision.

When an enemy within your reach misses you with an attack, you can use your reaction to make an opportunity attack against it. Moreover, when you take the dodge action during your turn, you can add a number of d6 equal to half your monk level to the damage of any opportunity attack you do before the start of your next turn.

• Grandmaster technique : Starting at 17th level, while using the Snake Style, when you don't take the attack action during your turn, your reach increases by 10 feet until the start of your next turn.

Mantis

The mantis style is extremely aggressive. A monk adopting that style focus purely on his speed, striking his opponent as fast as he can in order to overwhelm him under a rain of blows.

Every time you can make a melee attack, you can choose to make a Rotational Kick instead. If you do so, each creature within 5 feet of you must succeed on a Dexterity savind throw with a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your dexterity modifier or it takes bludgeoning damage equal to your proficiency bonus.

• Grandmaster technique : Starting at 17th level, while using the Leopard Style, every time a creature fails a saving throw against one of your Rotational Kicks, you can choose to knock it prone or to push it 5 feet away from you.

Monkey

The monkey style favors mischief and acrobatics. The goal of a monk adopting this style is to destabilize his opponent while always remaining unpredictable.

You gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed and the maximum length of your long and high jumps are increased by 10 feet. Moreover, every time you would make an attack against a creature, you can replace that attack by a Distraction instead. When you do so, the next attack that targets this creature is made with advantage.

• Grandmaster technique : Starting at 17th level, while using the Monkey Style, you gain proficiency in Improvised weapons. Moreover, Improvised weapons count as monk weapons for you.

Dragon

The dragon style is based around focus. The focus of the mind, on a first hand, in order to stay imperturbable during the fight; but also the focus of the body, to deliver spectacular explosive blows.

You make wisdom saving throws with advantage. Moreover, the size of your Martial Arts die is increased by one rank (a d4 become a d6, d6 become a d8 etc.).

• Grandmaster technique : Starting at 17th level, once on each of your turn, while using the Dragon Style, you can add one Martial Art die to the damage of one of your melee attacks.

Why only those 7 styles ?

Their are many other styles in kung fu, and some that aren't even based on animals ! I chose to limit the subclass to those 7 Animal Fighting Styles because they are the most iconic and flavorful in my opinion, and most of the other existing styles are actually some mix between those; like the eagle style is actually a mix between tiger and crane for instance.

Oath of the Arcane

The Oath of the Arcane is sworn by the paladins that serve the old gods of magic. By this oath, they swear to always seek and protect the forgotten scrolls and grimoires that were lost across the multiverse a long time ago.

Oath of the Arrow

The Oath of the Arrow is sworn by paladins that dedicate themselves to protect others from range. Spiritual descendants of a long line of legendary archers, their aim is steady and their heart is pure. On the battlefield, they cover their companions against the evil with deadly volleys, moving around the fight to always find the best angle.

Ranger Conclave

For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 3rd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell Witch Bolt, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell.

Preparing spells. You prepare the list of ranger spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the ranger spell list. When you do so, choose a number of ranger spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your ranger level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of ranger spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your ranger spells and cantrips. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a ranger spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +

your Wisdom modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +

your Wisdom modifier

Mystical Extra Attack

Starting at 7th level, you can cast one of your cantrips in place of one of your attacks when you take the attack action.

Forgotten Secret

Starting at 15th level, you learn a spell of 8th level or lower from the druid spell list. It counts as a ranger spell for you, and doesn't counts against the maximum number of spells you can prepare. You can cast this spell once without expending a spell slot. When you do so, it counts as if you expended a spell slot of 8th level to cast it. Once you have used this feature to cast a spell, you can't do it again until you finish a long rest.

Multiclassing.

When you multiclass in or out of this subclass, you don't add half your ranger level for the calculation of the spell slots you have, but like for the pact magic of the warlock, if you have both the Spellcasting or the Pact Magic class features and the Warden Magic feature from the Mystic Warden subclass, you can use the spell slots you gain from the Warden Magic feature to cast spells you know or have prepared from classes with the Spellcasting or the Pact Magic class features, and you can use the spell slots you gain from the Spellcasting or the Pact Magic class features to cast ranger spells you have prepared.

Pack Leader

Some rangers are born to lead the horde. Pack leaders are powerful and wise warriors that naturally endorse the role of the alpha. They thrive in group skirmishes and ambushes, as they always know how to coordinate their team to victory.

Rogue Archetype

Rogue Archetype

Sorcerous Origin

Sorcerer Origin

Otherworldly Patron

Your bag of soul can only hold one soul at a time.

Unforgivable ritual

Starting at 10th level, during a short or a long rest, you can perform an unforgivable ritual using a soul from your bag of soul, and a sample from a creature (a tooth, a drop of blood, a lock of hair etc.).

When you do so, that components are consumed, and you can cast Hex (or Bestow Curse, or Contagion, if they are part of your spells known) on the creature the sample was originated from.

When using this feature, you don't have to expend a spellslot to cast that spell. Moreover, the spell doesn't require your concentration and lasts for 24 hours.

Profanation

Starting at 14th level, during a short or a long rest, you can choose to consume a soul hold in your soul bag to profane an object you touch. When you do so, choose an effect from the spell Contagion.

Any creature other than yourself that carry, wield or use that object is affected by the chosen effect until that creature no longer carry, wield or use the profaned object.

The profanation lasts until the spell Dispel Magic or Remove Curse is used on the object.

Hearthstone's nightmare

Starting at 14th level, when you consume the power of the Hearthstone, you can choose to cast the spell Etherealness instead of one of the two options described in the Hearthstone's blasphemy feature, even if that spell is not part of your spells known. When you do so, you don't need to expend a spellslot to cast that spell.

Moreover, if the spell Dream is part of your spells known, you can, as an action when you are on the ethereal plane, touch a sleeping creature of the material plane and cast the spell Dream on it.

Optional Subclass Features

These optional class features work like the one presented in Tasha'a Cauldron of Everything, except you need to be a wizard from the transmutation school to be able to benefit from them.

Revising Feats

Feats are a great way to make a character feel special, as well for its combat style as for its general flavor and personality. However, players seem to always choose the same few feats, while the others remain forgotten in most campaigns. Indeed, some feats are clearly stronger than others, and this revised version is mostly meant to give more appeal to those "lesser feats".

• Attacking at long range doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged weapon attack ranged attack rolls.
• The ranged weapon attacks ranged attacks you make with a weapon ignore half and three-quarters cover.
• Before you make an attack with a ranged weapon that you are proficient with a ranged attack with a weapon, you can choose to take a -5 penalty to the attack roll. If that attack hits, you add +10 to the attack's damage.

Whenever you reach a level that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can replace this feat's fighting style with another one from the fighter class that you don't have.

Medium Armor Master

Prerequisite: Proficiency with medium armor

You have practiced moving in medium armor to gain the following benefits:

• Wearing medium armor doesn't impose disadvantage on your Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
• When you wear medium armor, you can add 3, rather than 2, to your AC if you have a Dexterity of 16 or higher.
• NEW : While outdoor, you roll Stealth checks with advantage if you are wearing a medium armor.
• NEW : Increase your Dexterity or Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

Moderatly Armored

• You gain proficiency with medium armor and shields.
• NEW : You can ignore the weight of the light or medium armors you are wearing, and the weight of one shield you are carrying. They don't count toward the maximum weight you can carry or lift.

Shield Master

You use shields not just for protection but also for offense. You gain the following benefits while you are wielding a shield:

• If you take the Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to try to shove a creature within 5 feet of you with your shield.
• If you aren't incapacitated, you can add your shield's AC bonus to any Dexterity saving throw you make against a spell or other harmful effect that targets only you.
• If you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you can use your reaction to take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, interposing your shield between yourself and the source of the effect.
• NEW : You can Don or Doff a shield as a Bonus Action.

Tavern Brawler

Accustomed to the rough-and-tumble fighting using whatever weapons happen to be at hand, you gain the following benefits:

• Increase your Strength or Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You are proficient with improvised weapons.
• Your unarmed strike uses a d4 d6 for damage.
• When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike or an improvised weapon on your turn, you can use a bonus action to attempt to grapple or shove the target.

Paladin Initiate

The force of your will and your piety helped you develop a particular style of fighting. As a result, you gain the following benefits :

• You learn one Fighting Style option of your choice from the paladin class. If you already have a style, the one you choose must be different.
• You can perform a Divine Strike when you hit a creature with a weapon attack. When you do so, your attack deals an extra 1d8 radiant damage. You can do a number of Divine Strikes equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all uses when you finish a long rest. You can't use both a Divine Smite and a Divine Strike on a same attack.

Light Strike

Evocation Cantrip

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: S, M (a one handed melee weapon worth at least 1 sp)
• Duration: 1 round

You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make an attack with it against a creature. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack’s normal effects, and if your current Hit Points are equal to your Maximum Hit Points, the creature takes extra damage equal to your spellcasting modifier. Moreover, your weapon shines and sheds dim light in a 5-foot radius until the end of your next turn.

Corrosive Net

Evocation Cantrip

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: S, M (a net worth at least 1 sp)
• Duration: Until the target is freed from the net used in the spell's casting

You brandish the net used in the spell’s casting and make an attack with it against a creature. On a hit, the target suffers the attack’s normal effects, and the first time it is hit by an attack each round, it takes an extra acid damage equal to your spellcasting modifier.

At Higher Levels. At 5th level, the acid damage increases to 1d6 + your spellcasting modifier. That damage roll increases by 1d6 at 11th level (2d6) and 17th level (3d6).
