Original D&D 5e Content — Spell
The signature spell of one of my long-time characters, a multi-class Rogue/Bladesinger wizard. Lavinia is a young adult, on the run after hustling the wrong people at speed chess as a teen. She tricked them out of a lot of money, and they’ll come for her family if she doesn’t pay it back.
So what’s a brilliant young wizard/rogue to do when money is short and time is running out? Rob some banks, of course.
This spell combines elements of damage, battlefield control, and mobility in a way that also sets up dramatic scenes that encourage roleplay rather than straight combat. Additionally, I’ve added a unique upcasting mechanic that allows you to customize upcasting to suit the situation, further encouraging roleplay and complex interaction with the narrative over simply doing more damage.
