(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/bestkeca/creaturecollege.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Welcome Wizards, Warlocks and Sorcerers who are looking for some original spells to add to their repertoire. Mind Spike 5e is a fantastic magic attack. You can\u2019t find it in the standard Dungeons and Dragons player handbook, but in the supplementary Xanathar\u2019s Guide to Everything. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might also enjoy the articles about Guardian of Faith 5e<\/a> and Life Domain Clerics. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you see, the spell only needs a somatic component. So you will have to be able to move your hands to use this spell<\/a>, but you don\u2019t need materials or be able to say something. Also, keep in mind that the spell has not a set range. In the dark, the range of mind spike 5e will be much shorter than in the daylight.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upcast<\/strong>: You can also upcast the spell by putting it in a higher spell slot. For every slot above the second, you can add 1d8 of damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you cast Mind Spike 5e, you reach into the mind of a creature you can see within range. This creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having a spell that casts a rarer type of damage is very useful. For example, fire is the most common resistance in 5e<\/a>. So, if you are relying on spells that use fire (like Flame strike or Fireball<\/a>) for everything, that might come back to bite you. Psychic damage is a rare damage type. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides dealing a decent amount of damage to your target, if they survive, and fail the saving throw, you know where they are exactly. The duration that you know the targets’ location is quite long. This is for the duration of the spell, which is a concentration spell that has a duration of up to 1 hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knowing exactly where your target is, can be extremely useful. You can figure out where exactly they are in this location. This includes them being underground or under the cover of invisibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This way, you can figure out the secret base of an enemy much more easily. Just make sure one of the targets is still alive after the battle and let him guide you to the spot where your enemies are. Knowing where the camp is, is perfect if you want to do a surprise attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the pirate or bandit leader<\/a> you have just hit with mind spike 5e survives it and manages to get away, odds are he is going to run in order to make sure he doesn\u2019t run into your party again.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mind spike in 5e DnD is powerful, but at higher levels the damage becomes trivial. So your targets will often easily survive this magical attack if this is the only thing you are throwing at them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just hit the target with the spell once, and hope they brush it off. Know exactly where they go for an hour and figure out their routine. You might find something to blackmail the highest-ranking knight or the arc cleric of the kingdom.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure you don\u2019t start to murder hobo or just mindlessly using this spell to attack whomever whenever. There are better spells to track your targets down, but this is a pretty decent option when you have only Mind Spike at your disposal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are looking for a powerful spell that is fantastic to skirt around immunities your foes might have, then Mind Spike is a great pick for lower-level characters. You can get a lot of interesting utility out of it. Not just is psychic a damage type that not many monsters have resistance against, but the secondary effect is also powerful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can do a lot of interesting stuff knowing exactly where your enemy is. You can figure out his hidden valuables, where the lair of the villain is or find out if there are ways to blackmail an NPC.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
